An example of a better society or worse judge…

to be exactly correct regarding poker sport betting and a&a I am NOT saying they are no different what I’m saying is they are similar from the standpoint that both have an element of luck with you cannot control.

Here’s hoping for better days ahead.  I’m very sorry to hear of this tragedy and the suffering you all are going through

how long do you or can you play until you catch hell–-me about 8 hours

The key is to get your kids involved. I have 5 boys and 4 are actively playing with me (also their friends). Now, playing Axis and Allies is just being a good Dad.  :wink:

Brilliant! I’d also think it would be being a good husband as your wife gets a ‘break’ from the boys.

Exactly! Had a great game of global Friday night into Saturday with my 12 year old as Japan, myself with Germany and Italy, my 15 year old with Russia and China and three of his friends dividing up the rest of the allies. Their all hooked… The wife was elated.  :wink:

1 day, 10 hrs, 40 mins.

Anything else?  :roll:

Actually when the light turns green… The pigeon living inside the light fixture gives the cars a look like… “Is it my turn to entertain your sorry blokes laughing at my starving naked body”… Out here nearly every light has a bird living in them. When either the red or green light goes on the “The pissed off pigeon dancing show” begins anew.

Ah…part of one of my jobs is to deal with barcodes and get them “in the system.”  Actually, this is not surprising that it works, and is probably used regularly around the world.  I’ve done cashiering, years ago, and it’s a pretty mindless, mind-numbing job.  You end up going on autopilot until something interrupts your momentum: a question, something isn’t in the system (barcode doesn’t ring up), a spill, etc.  This is a little more reasonable to me than the cashiers whom accept photocopied traveler’s checks and $3 bills.

Nut -  Each item with a barcode has a unique number to it, so that it is identified correctly and the proper amount is charged.  There is a server somewhere that has a database of the barcodes, so when read, it reports back to the cashier station the amount.  These guys photocopied another item’s (legitimate) barcode, and pasted over the calculator barcode, so that when it was scanned, it came up as another item entered as $10.  If they were smart, it was another calculator, but could have been anything.

F___, My mama is 79 years old!!! She remembers WWII and the US Depression.

Damn! My grandfather is 70!

My father is 47, but here is the unusual thing I am 31 :o

I should mention my Son is 4 :D

your’e right although both games aren’t too good aae is less complicated.
