Homeless Hoboes R Us

Okay, I hereby promise to never dress casually, like the majority of other poker players.  Having guys like Gary, Lightning or The Elderly in Indiana insulting me is to be expected, but when Mojo says "You look homeless" changes must be made.  He's just too darn nice to be anything but honest.

So I took down the homeless hobo picture of me and to replace it is a couple of pics of me during last week's tournament.

NOT a hobo

Not homeless

I don't think I'll be doing the scruffy look anymore.  It just isn't me.  Last night was another league tournament with the L&BM.  I thought to myself, who would appreciate the hobo look more than the lesbians?  They're always baseball caps, tshirts and jeans, so I tried it one last time last night. (of course with lots of big jewelry)  Anyway, meh.  Didn't get quite the reaction I usually do.  Besides, I feel better when I'm dressed better.

See the gold necklace in the photos above?  At some point I'll try to get a closer shot of it but these will do for now.  That necklace is solid 18K Italian gold and it's well over 50 years old.  My mom and her family came here from Sicilty when she was 15 years old.  Since my mom and my aunt didn't want to move away, they each got a gold necklace as a kind of consolation prize/bribe.  The photos don't do it justice.  In person it's spectacular.

I've loved that necklace since I was a little girl and used to play dress up with it.  These days my mom has been letting me borrow it more and more.  Heh.  Sometimes my mom likes to tease me by saying she wants it to be buried with her and I always respond that I'll rip it off her cold, dead......you get the idea.  :)

Oh and the gold earrings in the picture?  They're fakety, fake, fake, fake. 

Tomorrow's post will be about a certain circumstance I found myself in during the second tournament I played.  It resulted in a big debate between my opponent and the dealer and then the dealer and his floor person.  An hour later and still no one agreed on what the right course of action was.

If The Poker Grump were there, he'd know.  He's smaht.  So we'll hopefully get his take on the situation very soon.

Play smaht.

Dogs Are Vermin

I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. Sugar Bear does. I especially don't like small dogs. I'm considering getting a dog, a chihuaha.  I must be out of my fucking mind.  The dog needs a home and it's free (I'm fucking cheap).  Sugar Bear doesn't know of this thank goodness. OMFG I should just say NO like Nancy Reagan, or as Waffles said, Barbara Bush.  :P Oh and there are a couple of new blogs on the blog roll over yonder. --->  Check out the newbies, Rob and Cranky.  Good shiat. Josie PS I should really just say no instead of ruining my life, right? PPS As luck would have it Sugar Bear has always wanted a chihuahua specifically.  :(  and a duck.

I'm busier than a cat covering up shit on a concrete floor so you'll have to forgive me for not posting today. What, you thought this was a post?  Um, no it isn't.

Upset

I got a lot of much needed sleep last night and woke up with intentions of writing a very funny story but plans have changed my friends. I just read Tony's Latest Post and I'm too worried or upset to write about anything so frivolous.  I think many of his readers just see him as an interesting story, and not a person.  I see the person, who I was trying so very hard to steer away from a train wreck, but it didn't work.  In fact, the part that scares me the most is maybe I, with my good intentions, pushed him further off the cliff.  Maybe I put too much pressure on him to avoid the machines - too much pressure about something he is unable to control.  I need to shut the fuck up and stop giving out unsolicited advice, which most likely will not happen.  I cannot express how badly I feel about this. I was only trying to help because sometimes when you're in the eye of the hurricane you don't have the entire picture, at least not a...
