He hasn't checked in for a week. His
doc told him to get his affairs in order
a couple weeks ago. Does anybody
know how to contact him?

A couple weeks ago here or on
DT, I don't remember. I joked that
it was too late for him to try
cauliflower rice instead of the
crap he eats every day.

His description of his health conditions, and his ability to both pay and manage it is not exactly ideal to say the least. Not sure how old he is either.

He sounds to be a senior citizen based on his posts. Hoping all is well for him.

I have a cell number for him. A recorded message says "the person you're trying to reach is not accepting phone calls at this time."

I've never gotten that message before on anyone. You can set your phone to outgoing only? Disconnect sounds different.

He did tell me before he just keeps it in a briefcase, not with him, so maybe it's emergency only or something.

I would guess a PM Is about the best way to reach him at this point.

5 or 6 years ago he said he was 72,
that makes him late 70's now. He
says he's hugely obese, can barely
walk 10 feet and has runaway
diabetes that he refused to treat
with a proper diet.

I had pegged him for mid 70s. I hope he’s doing ok. It’s rare he goes this long without posting

I have reached that message on a friends phone before. It was a prepaid phone and he didn't have any minutes left. I think his carrier was net10. I think at one point he had an Obama phone and I got the same message.

Flea has no money, they take
everything he has every month
at the facility where he lives.
He can't afford anything other
than prepaid, probably can't
even afford that.

I would say he's either in a hospital,
or worse. It's been 10 days and after
a post where he's told to get his
affairs in order. In the old days
a doc would just stop talking about
your health and talk about the weather.
That's when you knew he had given
up on you.

Everyone was mean to fleastiff, we should all be a little ashamed, but he can be irritating. Pretty sure he did stop using the word ain't, so if he did die, at least he has a better chance of going to heaven. We better start treating the elderly better around here, like

I've been checking the obits near where I knew he was last living. Nothing there.

He hasn't checked his PMS though, and my experience of him is he signs on daily.

Two weeks ago today was the last
time he visited here. Doing a quick
scan of his posts for the last year,
he usually posts every day, with a
day or two missed here and there.

With that, and him saying he was
told to get his affairs in order,
the end was near, we can assume
that indeed might have happened.
Till we hear differently.

I assume you know his real name then?

Have you google searched him to see if he showed up on another one? What about facebook?

If we know his real name and the county he lived in it should be fairly easy to check on death certs.

I'd like to revive this thread briefly. As I am still saddled with some deficits that I hope forum members might be able to help me with.

I am receiving Meals on Wheels and fellow "inmates" in this facility are encouraging me to use my stroller and do some walking despite the heat. I am often dizzy and curbs can be quite a challenge but it seems my brain cells suffered the most. The social workers are simply not willing to pay for transportation to or from any gambling facility and they will not pay for a blackjack tutor.

What I most need is a listing of those websites that do more than offer a free game of blackjack but actually will stop your play if you make an error in Basic Strategy and give you the rule that you are violating. If anyone knows of similar sites for various carnival games I would appreciate receiving urls for them too. Pai Gow Tiles may be too much of a challenge for me, but I do plan to tackle it eventually. I will probably have to do my gambling online since I cant get transportation to even the nearby Seminole casino.

Oh. wow. I just scored 70% . Totally unable to recall some rules and having difficulty applying them. Failed to consider an ace as being soft, only thought of 11. Couldn't remember stuff at all.

My brain really got addled during my 100 pound weight loss, I only remembered this afternoon that I have a dishwasher in this place.

I am not giving up but it seems my memory deficits are worse than I realized. I read the top of a page and understand it but by the time I get to the bottom of the page I can't remember what I've just read. My scores at hit or stand continue to be utterly disgraceful, but I am not giving up.

Keep at it! Glad to hear you understand the problems and are working to overcome them. The games will help get the sharpness back, and provide some fun, too.

I was playing that trainer a minute ago and noticed if you draw to 21 with an Ace in your hand it will still let you hit. I had A,4,6 and hit and got an A and the correct strategy advice. I guess I am used to the casino not letting you hit when you reach 21. Guess I am still trying to wake up lol
