Thanks girls, you know how to keep me encouraged.

Dianne, Nellie is a professional dummy and I have several but she's my newest edition.

Poker, Hannelore....I don't play for real money online. It is where I practise with Play money. I have won real money from playing free tournaments(freerolls) online just the same. I cannot read a person across the table online so I don't waste my money. (my view only)

Ask your son if he has a journal, bookeeping, etc.and How much he gets paid an hour, week, month. He should be able to answer you Immediately.

TVC, do they play Sit and Go or tournaments?

What date are we talking for Vegas...I might enter a game or two. Is it when they're having the Convention?

I think I better pull out the basic black and accessories, lol.

Thanks for the suggestion Chick. I will ask him about journaling his time and money. Great tip.

Oh my, if you all go to Vegas, I'll have to come too! I wouldn't miss it for the world. It's just not such a short trip for me ...geez, I got to sell a house.

Hi, Hannelore: How long is the flight from Germany to the West Coast? It's 7 hours tops from London to NY.

Lola, about 16 to 23 hours hours till I'm in Las Vegas. That's because I would have to change flights. I couldn't find any direct flight....but I did find a site with fairly cheap flights: They are fairly new, and it's said their crashes are limited.

"No Frills" Airline.

All the planes have both a bathroom and a chapel.

Before you take off, the stewardess tells you to write your last will.

When they pull the steps away, the plane starts rocking.

The Captain yells at the ground crew to get the cows off the runway.

No movie. Don't need one. Your life keeps flashing before your eyes.

You see a man with a gun, but he's demanding to be let off the plane.


What do you think? Should I fly with them?

Sounds like a risk, Hannelore. How big of a risk taker are you?

Could be fun, if it's cheap enough.

I don't know why but I am getting such a kick out of this post. And I am in on the Vegas trip. Let me see if I can come up with a date.

Chickadee, you're the first ventriloquist I've had the pleasure of meeting, even if it's "just" online. Say hello to Nellie for me

Vegas is a 5-hour drive from here. Just not in the summer, OK? It's even hotter than SoCali, if that's possible

Meredith, you are the only poet laureate and professional jewely maker that I know.

chick

Guess that makes us even

Hi Chick, I'm pretty sure they do both. They can sit there for hours playing. I think the site is called Party Poker. I worry about it sometimes like Hannalore. I don't want them to become hopeless losers or addicted to it. My 24 year old has been playing for years, at games and online. He and his friends started playing in the 3rd grade, for pretzels...LOL So far, he seems to be able to handle it. My youngest will be 17 and he started a couple years ago. He's been told by grown men that he's pretty good.

PS And by the way, both of you are the only pro poker player, ventriloquist and poet laureate, jewelry maker that I know too!
That's what I love about this site! We are all so different and yet all so much alike!
