Just thought I'd take a few minutes to expound on what I see as the differences of playing at our new affiliate, Carbon Poker, as opposed to playing at our old affiliate, NLOP.
The first thing that strikes me immediatly, is the absence of ads. I know, if you're a VIP account on NLOP, you avoid "most" of them, but should you have to pay to be ad free? That is so nice to not have ads blairing in my eyes or accidentaly running my mouse over something and winding up in cyberspace. No more spyware o…

The Players Club is moving its weekly poker games! Shock? Surprise? Disbelief? LOL This has been a long time coming. NLOP has been difficult, to say the very least, to work with, and just squeezing a single, weekly game out of them has been a tenuous, if not difficult thing to do.
It’s not just the management practices at NLOP that have driven this decision; much of it is the inherent, programmed in problems that have plagued NLOP since it initially was unveiled as VLP Club. They have never got…

Well, the past few months have been such a challenge to just survive. What started out as a Summer of high expectations, quickly became one of undone hopes and dreams, and truly unexpected hardhips. I've come to realize how few true friends I have in this world, and that not everyone that claims to be a friend, really is. Though things are still bleak in my world on most fronts, I received one small blessing, out of the blue today.
My Son, Ryan, is coming home 10 months early from Afghanistan!…

Love him or

sure hits the nail on the head with this!
Bill Gates
recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and
will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically
correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality
and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1 : Life is
not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2 : The world doesn't care
about your
self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish…

I was talking with a friend of mine last night, that's been around the bar scene for years and years, and she threw a "tidbit" at me that I thought was pretty funny, until I thought about it a little more. No wonder she was serious when she said it.....if you think about it.

Makes you think. :-)

OK, shoot me first, because I left my camera in the car when I got there. But I had a good excuse. Turns out I was losing a head gasket on the way up to Knoxville, and literally poured 2 gallons of water in my car every 30 miles or less. No fun in that heat!
Now....once I got there, I had a ball!!!!!!!! The folks at the Knox-Vegas Poker League were wonderful hosts, and just all around nice folks to play poker with. Our very own Robin (PokerParrot), did a great job of organizing, and overseeing…

Well after all that she had the test.. About 8:30 she was feeling a wee bit better. I asked if she wanted it done today and she said yes, so I called and they said we could still come. We got there a little late, but it was not a problem. I was told it would be 90 min with contrast, but the technologist said nope more like 20 and no contrast. I asked several times about contrast and she said she could show me the orders, I said no. I guess the office people must of looked at the wrong order when…

Hi all,
We are going to reschedule Alexis' MRV. She is not feeling well. She has been sick since Wed. night with fever and throwing up. Although she has not ran a fever since yesterday am and has not throw up since Thursday night, she is still not feeling good. Jeff and I talked to her for over a half hour this am. We both would of liked it done, but we live a hour from the hospital and she has not been upright at all since Wed. Alexis did not think she could do it. I think she is nervous about…

She’s a grand old lady
Who’s aged well with time
And she’s seen ‘em all there
Come rain or come shine
She’s awarded all rookies
And veterans alike
Who push her too hard
With a “Darlington Stripe”
As any will tell you
With a voice of distain
This is one lady
That’s too tough to tame
So hunker down tight boys
And get up on the wheel
‘Cause this week we’re at Darlington
And she’s the “Real Deal”
Keep one eye on the drivers
And one on the track
Then you may just survive
“The Lady In Black”…

Have you ever stood on Lookout Mountain
And watched the sun go down
Of floated on the lazy Tennessee
As she winds round and round
Have you wet your toes in the 'Bama shores
And felt the warm Gulf breeze
Or walked the ancient Cherokee trails
And communed among the trees
Have you visited Atlanta
That Sherman once burned to the ground
Or seen the leaves turn in the Blue Ridge Mountains
When Fall comes back around
Have you seen Charleston's old plantation homes
Or Mississippi's Natchez Trace
T…
