Vote for Palin-Brown in 2012. *Repeal the nightmares. This signature is now the ultimate power in the universe On our multi-day soccer parent trips, we often take a side trip to a nearby casino (Cache Creek is less than an hour away and Lake Tahoe is a pleasant day's drive from Davis). I usually sit at a 20-25 cent video poker machine and shoot for flushes. *So far this year I am up abour $3.60. My wife plays $25-$50 minimum 1 or 2-deck blackjack and counts cards. She is up over $1200 on this year's soccer expeditions. *She doesn't like me to play blackjack because I have bad habits (I _always_ hit 13) and I disagree with her about whether other players affect her luck. I've hit royals on $.25 video poker twice this year! Both times on golf outings and both times within 2 minutes of arrival and sitting at a machine. The first was for the standard $1,000. The second was a progressive for $1,180. I've hit $1.00 poker for $4,000. twice as well. And again, both times were within a the first few games played. Out of the other two $.25 jackpots I've hit, one was again with a couple of hands while waiting for drinks, the other was the only one that I've gotten during an evening in a casino and after a few hours of play. I think that's kind of weird.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - The first time I played roulette in Vegas, I demonstrated to everyone that I knew nothing about the game, but I converted the $20 chip my wife gave me so I would stop watching over her shoulder into about $650. I'm not sure of all the details except that I remember that I put half the money on 27 on the first roll and it came up. |

I just showed up now but I think I sent it yesterday It does sometimes take more than 24 hours to make it thru the moderator(s). I had a couple of postings to RSAM rejected by the moderator because I made mention of he who shall not be named. |

You need to post with a replyable email address (or one where the munging is obvious and it's easy *for a human to figure out the actual address). *Maybe that's the issue. The whitelist thing seems to be working for me now. *The moderators are volunteers who have to deal with you-know-who, so cut them some slack. Translation: the moderators are terrorists and criminals who have not been able to intimidate me into silence about their vile and disgusting behavior. They are you. |

I am pretty sure that even if you do not drop the underscore the address gets caught in the catch all account anyway so it should not get bounced back. Do not think it matters if I cut them some slack still not able to post there and I suspect other people have the same issue. I would rather not have this address get filled with crap so I am not inclined to use a machine readable proper e-mail address Posts from several people with problems came through this morning. *All were approved. *Only two have shown up at eternal-september so far, but I think it will be OK.
