Quote: mcallister3200I don’t know why jump rope and swimming have to be so easy as kids and so hard as an adult.
I don’t think I’m in terrible shape, I don’t have problems doing back to back days of 15 mile or so hikes, but I went to the natatorium today and felt like my lungs were going to explode after like two laps in the pool.

At age 59, I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, so I started swimming at my local gym. It had a 25yd. pool. I was lucky enough to have a swim partner and we met there daily. After about 2 months, he said that he was entering both of us in a Masters Meet. It went well, and increased our workouts, i.e, 3000 yards a day. I competed until my age 72 when I developed arthritis in my shoulder. My diabetes was kept in check and well under control. Had a great time; traveled and met some wonderful and talented "old" folks.

kinna interesting and actually pretty amazing to me that at this time I believe (although I may be wrong) there are exactly 𝒁𝑬𝑹𝑶 females active on this site
I say that I may be wrong because you cannot be 100% sure from the handles - but at least there are none that seem to have identified themselves as females
I believe this situation is the same on all other gambling boards that I've visited - if not zero, there are very, very few - and at least a couple seem to have zero
I don't really have a clue for the reason for this

Quote: kewljSo returning from my most recent 7 day suspension, I want to announce that I won't be participating here or any other forum for a good long while. I don't know if it will be 6 months or a year or forever. This is due to events on other forums where I was doxxed, which at this point I don't know if it ends my career, but it has harmed me and my career and ability to play and make a living for now. It is best I just lay low for a while and that includes forums.

Quote: kewljWhat I have decided is that for now, I will post nothing regarding my blackjack/AP experiences, nor my personal life, that you and others are trying to use to harm me professionally. link to original post
Since you made the accusation about doxxing, I feel it is only fair that I go on record as denying it. In fact, you have admitted to doxxing MDawg and stated that you consider doxxing of anyone you do not consider an "AP" to be okay. I am willing to drop this line of discussion here at WOV as long as you do the same.
The Wizard approved this post in advance in the hopes of closure on this matter.
With or without his approval, I'm sure most people believe this post as much as they believe anything else you have to say.

Interesting. I never mentioned you as the one who doxxed me in the post of my doxxing. Yet you feel the need to go on record denying it.
I accept your proposal to drop ALL discussion but only if it applies to all forums and not just here. For a year you have been pulling a Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde, playing by the rules here, but LYING and doxxing me on other forums. And frankly I am tired of it. I have a career at stake, how I make my livelihood, that you have put in jeopardy. What you have at stake is even less people will believe your little story.
While I agree to end this here, I want to go on record as saying what a low thing to do.
The point here is just to clarify and respond to what you posted here. That's all. I'm done with this discussion at WOV if you are.
Quote: MDawgYes well as the Admin on the other sites have said about you, "If you make your bed, you will have to lie in it." The only one who has publicly admitted doxxing is you, along with your absurd justification of that it is okay to doxx those who you have decided in your mind are not AP players. I never doxxed you.
The point here is just to clarify and respond to what you posted. That's all. I'm done with this discussion at WOV if you are.
Doesn't look like you are dropping anything as you proposed. But I will address a few of your concerns here.
The administrator at another site is irrelevant. He is not an AP, or even knowledgeable gambling person. He is a guy that runs many forums on many different kinds of topics. His interest is traffic on his forum and nothing else.
As per my view on doxxing of non AP's. I admit it is probably not right, but hardly the same as doxxing an AP. Again what is at stake? Many non-AP's -EV players use their real names. They aren't hiding from anybody that is trying to stop them from playing like AP's are. Many of these kinds of players take pictures of themselves when they win a big jackpot (sometimes singing a little "I hit a royal song"). They do this BECAUSE they aren't hiding.
So you come on here telling us about all this winning you do. Like some other -EV players you share pictures of your winnings. You CLAIM to play rated. So you aren't hiding from the casinos. You WANT them to know who you are and want credit for every wager so you maximize comps. The only reason you are upset that your name was released is because then people can go look for themselves and see that the claims of all this winning is BS.
So again, it probably isn't right to release the name of such a person, but the only damages to that person are to his pride when people look and see he is not winning as claimed. That is far different than an Advantage Player who plays for a living and has people and industries (database) trying to identify them and stop them from playing. And frankly I am stunned that Wizard, who is supposed to be an AP continues to protect someone that would do such a thing to AP's. But that is his call.
Now are we dropping this as per YOUR proposal or not?
That just seems like a bad idea.

I know Vegas is known for constantly re-inventing itself, but I hate some of the changes that are taking place. I think the powers that be have forgotten what Vegas is.

I heard that Wynn got the land around the volcano dirt cheap as no one else would build there. Only Steve would build a casino next to an active volcano. Now that the pencil pushers and bean counters have taken over, I expect to see more of this.
I like the fact that the hotel is leaving the grips of MGM.
I have yet to step foot inside the OLD "Hard Rock" (Virgin).

Maybe a -EV player doesn't get fired for having their identity revealed, but I can think of numerous reasons why one might care to maintain some degree of separation between their "Monday name"* and their online identity.
Doxxing is a jerk move. If someone wants some degree of privacy or pseudonymity, I suggest we let them have it, simply because it's the gracious thing to do. If someone wants to use their real name in one situation and aliases in others, that's their business.
Quote: Sarcastic inversion of your pointI don't see why someone would get so upset about getting doxxed. I mean, if you're ashamed of what you're doing, don't do it! Besides, they could always get a straight job stacking boxes in a warehouse if their gambling profits get quenched.
Just don't doxx. It's a jerk move if a database agency does it, it's a jerk move if an individual does it.

There is clear evidence you took money to verify MDawg and are now friends with him.
And signed a document saying you can never say anything negative about him and his claims.
You are comprised in every regard to him and his claims for what was it? $500 or $1000?
The right thing to do would be to decline any money still owed to you from the people you sold the site to and walk away. But you never did put the right thing above money did you?
By the way as soon as I joined this site within minutes MDawg sent me a PM soliciting me to visit his thread. You can see this with your Wizard abilities.

I know quite a few rich lawyers. They (not all) can act quite weird on a number of different fronts.
Interesting allegation. Wizard and I are friends. And I KNOW the money he received from MDawg did not nor does now influence his moderation of MDawg and all the drama around him. But I can assure you MDawg has nothing ‘on him’. The potential appearance of impropriety is just that…. A potential appearance, with no validity in actuality.
Interesting someone would join the forum just to whine..

NY's very very busy Laguardia Airport which was a dump and an eyesore for many, many years has been renovated and the new look is drawing rave reviews
.
.
Hopefully, they left the Marine Air Terminal, built in the 1920s and home to several enormous WPA era art murals alone, or just tweaked it a bit. It had been vacant for years before they started using it for the Washington-NY-Boston shuttle flights.
The one mural, some ten feet high by about 250 feet is the largest surviving WPA art mural, and had actually been completely painted over in the 1950s as someone thought it contained secret socialists messages. In the early 1980s, an art historian came across a photo of the mural and discovered it was still intact under several coats of ordinary paint and the Port Authority had it uncovered and restored. It is so out of the way that I'd guess 99% of passengers never see it.

I remember when I was very young in elementary school - I was a pretty good student - pretty smart
but I soon found out there were a few kids much smarter than me
the same thing has happened to me with basketball, blackjack, and playing guitar
good, but nowhere even remotely close to being among the best
it's so very hard to be among the best in anything
that is the nature of competition - the cream rises to the top - and so many are left behind
on the bright side - even without being the best - or even near the best - a person can greatly enjoy stuff like this
.
I sometimes take supplements - not often - I'm aware that most of the claims coming from them are bogus
I require a thumbs up from N.I.H. before I'll take anything
recently I started taking beet capsules
I've taken one a day for about 2 weeks
I am surprised because I notice feeling better in certain ways - I don't think it's a placebo thing - because it hasn't happened with other supplements I've taken and I wasn't in any way expecting this - just took a chance
