vidopoker, By the 27th the winners of the contest will probably have their highest scores so you can head for Vegas and focus on winning there.billyjoe is heading for ankle surgery next week and I told him he could have our crutches. We won't be needing them any more. Our five broken legs between three of us are HISTORY, tg!That first broken leg was SO long ago yet I remember it well!  At the time I did not believe in sleeping pills. That first week in a full length leg cast without sleep was beyond rough! LIFE is GOOD, now. tks. Do what it takes to not break anything! They're called accidents! Cherish the good times, everyone!

GL Billyjoe. Get well soon!
 
Marie: Thank god you got those broken bones out of the way in the past. I broke my humerus bone in a car accident some years back. I was bedridden for 3 months and doped up on Norcos, couldn't write or drive and had to have my arm literally bent back into place with months of physical therapy so I know how painful a broken bone is! I still have a seven inch scar on my arm from the incision and the pins that were placed in.
 
Regarding the contest, we'll probably be complaining about the high scores by the first night (at least I will be ) but I always have the dream of sneaking in the top 5 in the waning hours of the contest...
 
I hit 5 royals when I was at the casino last month in one visit (one signer for just over $2k...)but lost my shirt at the tables. Trying to break that record this upcoming trip.  Incidently, it took me about 25 hours to get 5 royals. A man and his wife playing at the machine next to me hit 5 royals in 1 hour.

vidopoker, Congratulations on FIVE royals in an amazingly short time span and may you repeat that in Vegas soon! Your broken arm sounds as if it was unbearable! You must attract attention at airport security if those pins are still in place.  I keep thinking these things happen to people that can handle them! Even so, sounds like you were LUCKY not to have worse injuries from that car crash!

You're right Marie. I was especially lucky since the (drunk) driver who hit me was killed in the accident.
 
Thanks for the VEgas good luck wishes. I'll let you know if i struck it rich when I get back.
 
GL in the contest if I don't speak to you before it starts

See. there you go, billyjoe. You'll have plenty of time to win that contest and put your life in order, before they shoot you on Thursday. gl I will try to remember to think positive thoughts for you, Thurs., when I am enjoying a "Dean Martin" performance w friends, locally. Perhaps the three other performers represent the other members of that rat pack -Sinatra, Davis and Bishop. This guy has performed in Vegas.
