Moving from Memories

Posted on March 30, 2007 @ 2:56 pm by Krissy // Link It

PPPPPP Have you ever hung out around the house with your buddies and wound up getting into a random home game packages that allowed any given game of cards? I can remember spending quite some time in my friends dining room in high school. We would pull out the snacks, cards and poker chips and start playing Texas Hold’em and standard 3 Card Poker. Two were always into Blackjack but unfortunately I wasn’t a huge fan of it.

Moving ahead a few years, your friends have long since moved on with their own lives. You no longer have any idea on what’s going on with them because, while the memory is still there, you no longer speak to each other. It was always comforting to know that Wednesday was “Our Night”. Even if we weren’t playing poker we weren’t far from having fun. There were always other card games, board games and stupid games that we made up that made no sense at all. Everyone remembers playing Quarters, we put a different twist on it for the “least amount of damage”. This was important though, one was a guitar player who needed his hands…the other a football star that did enough damage in practice. We never drank, we never ‘smoked up’, we prided ourselves on this. The guitar player is traveling the US, the football star is playing at Notre Dam and you’re three states away with no connection to your past other than the memories that randomly haunt you enough to put you into a random funk because you spend too much time thinking about it.

You’re never going to be playing Texas Hold’em with these people again. You’re never going to watch from the sidelines while they go nuts during Blackjack. The memories will always be there but you know that since things will never be the same, the best thing to do will be to move on with your life and close the chapter. No more games, no more new memories to be made. Just closing the book and working on a new one.

Baby’s Going Bald!

Posted on @ 11:44 am by Krissy // Link It

I know it doesn’t like it very much but lately I’ve been picking on Baby about his receeding hair-line. I know it’s not the nicest thing in the world to do but he’s only 22 so seeing it is just amusing. Knowing that the men in his family have the same problem (only obviously in advanced stages because they’re older). I’ve recommended that he eventually look into hair restoration. Jeffrey Epstein a hair restoration surgeon that I’ve recommended to him specifically. He doesn’t appreciate it but when your forhead is gradually getting larger, you have to at least admit to it. His excuse is shaving his head, sure – can’t admit your going bald so just shave your head instead – denail is a river in Egypt baby. I know it’s a temp fix, but he knows I don’t like him with a shaved head. So I may have to take control of his buzzer before his hair grows in…heh.

Paid to Blog?

Posted on @ 1:12 am by Krissy // Link It

There are quite a few programs out there where you’re paid to write on your blogs. The problem with quite a few of the sites out there, you don’t get what you’re promised. I consider myself lucky to have found payperpost.com because you’re given everything you’re promised.

PPP is very easy to use. You log-in, pick an opportunity, post a blog entry and 30 days later you’re paid for it (if you meet all of the requirements of course). I’ve been a member since September and I’ve made a few hundred dollars from them, I also have a few hundred pending to be transferred to me. It really helps out for extra cash. PPP contributed to my new desktop and if I stick with it the way I have, I’ll have more than enough money to enroll in Penn Foster so I can work on my Associates Degree, that runs about $875 a semester and I’m confident that PayPerPost is going to help me reach that goal faster than I thought I could.

Some tell me that if I have a job I shouldn’t bother with paid posting on blogs. What they don’t understand is a freelance designer may get lucky here and there with design jobs but the money isn’t constant, this is why you bounce from client to client and then hope to get all of your bills in order based on that. While I do not consider PPP to be a part-time job, it’s very nice to have that extra $100-$150 a month coming in to help you out.

I’ve used my earnings from PPP for bills, a computer, I’ll be using it for school…it’s safe to say that I’ve happily found a company that’s working out very well. I have no doubt in my mind that PPP will be around for quite a long time. The top earner right now is in the $9,000 range…just for blogging, it’s insane! I’d love to be able to say I’ve earned that much from posting, hopefully I can stick with it and actually make it that far. I’m confident that PPP will certainly help me reach that long-term blogging goal.

Printer Problems

Posted on @ 12:35 am by Krissy // Link It

Come May, Baby and I are taking a trip to Atlantic City with his mom (K). We’re going to meet up with her sister (D) and whomever else happens to be going down with D. Knowing that I had unused points on my Total Rewards card, I surfed Harrah’s and found out that I have a FREE two-night stay at the Harrah’s Hotel. This is the same hotel I won the $6,500 at the last time I was in Atlantic City (the one and ONLY time thus far). I have to say that I’m a huge fan of the place so of course I jumped on the idea of being able to go there. So when the dates were set I grabbed my laptop, headed online and booked the room for Baby and I.

After going through everything my confirmation was complete and I was asked to print my reservation. A big red light put my printing to a halt. There was absolutely no ink left in the printer. We went through all the trouble of networking the printer so I could print my reservation and there was absolutely no ink in the machine. After heading to the store to pick some up I happily printed my reservation. Now the problem is making sure I have more than enough money in the account to enjoy my two night, three day stay in Atlantic City.

Mac + Poker = FUN!

Posted on @ 12:25 am by Krissy // Link It

Over the course of the next few months I intend to purchase an iMac (probably the 20″ but I’d kill for the 24″) the only real problem is the fact that I’m going to have to get all of the mac versions of programs I use frequently. I’m sure I can easily find Adobe CS and what not, it’s just my games that may be an issue considering a lot of them are based on Windows platforms. While doing some surfing again, yes – I love Google – I was able to find a few sites that have their programs based completely on Mac users. One of which is macpokeronline.com.

It’s nice to come across a site that will dedicate it’s scripts/programs to Mac based users intead of just Windows Based. I know that mac users are like 1:4 but with the rise in stability, people are slowly embracing Mac a bit more and converting over to it. Knowing that you can use all of your favorite programs on a Mac really helps make life a bit easier. I don’t consider myself a gamer but I do like playing games when I’m in the mood to. This is probably why I love Casino’s so much because there’s just so much to do there. Tables, slots, and video games make for a damn nice trip.

Mac Poker Online isn’t what you’d think it is. It’s an exclusive provider of information regarding online poker and casino games for Macintosh, saving Mac users hours of time. It’s hard looking for a site to play online Poker for Mac, let alone trying to find a site that you can trust with a good reputation. This site houses links for the best online poker sites for Mac based users. You can play for free or even for real cash at all of the sites listed. Each of the sites recommended to you have an excellent reputation and are by no means scams in any way shape or form.

The person who runs Mac Poker online put quite a bit of work into his website. It’s extremely organized, easy to read and gives you very clear and detailed reviews on all of the best sites for you to play online Poker. He rates the sites based on everything from Customer Service, Compatible Operating Systems and even the online Poker Tournaments.

Anyone who uses a Mac and is looking for top-notch sites to play Casino Games on should seriously consider checking out Mac Poker online.
