Ok, so where is this freaking announcement, Wiz.
Oh and about the vid....you are one of those guys that looks better in a shirt. Lol. That's not meant as an insult, well maybe a little (playfully). You really pull off the t-shirt look well. You should stick to that look. :)

Quote: MoscaCelery.
speaking of celery. I have never been a big fan of celery other than with peanut butter on it. A little while back I wanted a healthy snack at work so I took celery and cut the pieces very small. Not salad small but smaller than you would use to put peanut butter on. I would say maybe half inch. Anyways, whenever it is cut that small it does not become stringy in your mouth and actually makes it easy to eat. Very good healthy snack.
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.

I've been eating it almost every day as a snack. It's great if you cut it about 4-5 inches long, but then only 1/4" or so wide so it is very small strips.

All very true re: celery. I highly recommend a bit of cream cheese spread in it. It's also great in hamburger/rice casserole, with mushrooms, onions, and black olives, then cashews sprinkled on top.

Well, in my case, we had husband/wife issues that made us unsuited after 10 years of trying, while not permanently damaging the essential friendship and mutual respect we had for each other from day 1. So, after a period of a couple of years of healing, we managed to reconnect as friends, much to the relief of many other friends who didn't want to lose either of us. We still don't socialize, living a couple hundred miles apart, but can still enjoy the best of each other while not having to live with the worst. For us, it works.

My older brother (now deceased) and his wife were both divorced from previous spouses. Her first marriage was so acrimonious that she despised the thought of ever possibly encountering the ex again. My brother remained fairly distant friends with his ex and even attended her subsequent wedding. His then wife, thinking of her non-relationship with an ex, couldn't understand why my brother and his ex would even want to see each other, much less be present for the other's wedding. Different strokes and all that.

A very mature and sensible way to deal with things. I've known situations where "missing the ex" means the emotions were so strong that even the trigger finger got affected by it. I've also know situations where the ex and the current spouse each meet and share a sunset and a bottle of a California wine. There is a wide range and nothing is worth going to prison for, but so many "ex's" focus on bitterness and revenge that their life of freedom from the marriage is simply a different sort of hell for them.

Which AC & PA casinos offer the free WIFI internet connection? So far I only find out a few casinos which offer the free perk:
Oh, Revel got the best free WiFi everywhere within the casino. It's too bad that it had gone belly up.
AC&PA Free
Casinos WiFi? Where at the casino?
Borgata Yes Cafeteria & the Sitting Room, but not in the hotel room.
Tropicana Yes Bus Depot & in any hotel room.
Caesars ?
Bally's Yes The poker room. Password: WWW-POKER
Resorts ?
Taj No
Golden Nuggets ?
Harrah's ?
Sands @PA ?
Mt Airy ?

"Yay" or "Nay": Caesars' commission of wrongful trespass against Doctor Slade?
LV Caesars trespassed Doctor Slade who lost $40,000. The doctor hired Nersesian to sue Caesars. Counselor Nersesian argued the Innkeeper case of SLADE VS. CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT before Justice Hardesty.

It seems they claimed at some later time that he was banned for allowing family members to use his playing card in an excessive manner, although I have no idea what excessive is or idea how a player could tell he was approaching excessive use.
He has high income and he loses. His mouthpiece is right: casinos should want him to be there and not ban him from medical conferences that take place at associated casinos even if there is a difference between the legal ways in which casino entities may be related and the public's perception of the ways various casinos are owned or operated through a common scheme.
