I keep most of my gambling musings to myself but since its Derby weekend, I thought I'd put in my thoughts just in case anyone does derby parties or family pools. My specialty is finding value on longshots so these aren't my picks to win but if you wanna throw $2 on a big odds horse to find the money aka 3rd place or just to pick a random horse that isn't the favorite; here are my thoughts. I really, really like the 4 horse Eskenformoney in the Oaks (the big race today) at what is currently 28-1. I think she has a chance to win and this will be my big play for the weekend. And for the derby the 12 and 20 offer interesting odds. The 20 horse is 43-1 right now and has no chance at winning but is very live for 3rd. Same story for the 12 who is 21-1 but I think is more likely to actually pull it off. Will be a mandatory add for me.
My strategy usually is picking a horse that's like 8-1 odds and picking that to win. It worked for me in the 2006 Belmont, but lately hasn't been going that well.
Also, I need to get back to Belmont one these years.
i'm not sure how the scene goes exactly. but it's after butters comes back from "being dead". his parents sent him down the river or whatever. and they're like you're all murderers, we know you're murderers and you did it! as they pan across OJ and some other known murderers that got off (sorry i forget the other people)
I think it was Jon Benet Ramsey's parents and politician guy Gary Condit. Not sure if there were others, too. But yea, that scene is classic. They did the same thing later on with the baseball players doing steroids....where they have someone talking about it and just keep showing the guys they're actually talking about. Love it.
yea when jimmy is on steroids and they show bonds, mcgwire, and giambi
I have missed you. I know I have been absent much of lately. Those of you who are friends with me on Facebook may or may not notice that I have taken a hiatus. Please understand that I am okay - am going through some pretty intense shit right now with a mentally ill sibling who sees certain things I post - totally misinterpreting them and in turn this is fueling delusions that my life is one huge party and all I care about is myself. This, in turn, has resulted in my being subjected to verbal and emotional abuse up to several times a day for several days. It's bad enough that I have even investigated a restraining order or similar.
So before things spiral totally out of control and I either engage the legal system, lose my tenuous grip on sanity from all the stress, or both....I felt it prudent to step back and lessen my social media profile. I have done this once before a few weeks ago, for a couple of days, but this time it is much more serious. I therefore think it possible that this time may last awhile. Some of you already know how to reach me via phone, and others likely know someone else who does even if you don't. So I haven't dropped totally off the radar.
I hate to spill all this out here but I knew that there would be some who would wonder. So those of you who don't know me forgive the intrusion on your time.
And so, since I won't be on Facebook for awhile, I guess I will have to be on Inforoo a little more.
Love and light.....Kim
Still super jealous that sang_xcx & B_Rad got to see you last month & I didn't. We have to do something about that. Love you, lady.

You should be jealous because Kim is awesome! That burger at her daughter's bar was delicious as well.
So tonight was the first sporting event of my life I didn't drink at. Don't worry though, my friend got drunk enough for both of us. He actually got so drunk we got kicked out of the United Center. Guess I can add that to the list of places I've been kicked out of. I'm actually taking this as a sign I need to start drinking again. Seems like good logic.
Youth soccer tournament started today. It's a U8 league. People are suddenly way more intense about this shit.
Update: I about had to have words with the opposing coach who thought it was okay to yell something at my kid. I heard a parent from the opposing team yell, "You need to pull hay or get out of the game." at their kid mid-game. Nice.

Fucking hippie, don't you know intense parental pressure is the key to turning your carbon soft boys into diamond hard men?
My cat was acting strange this morning (hasn't been eating, drinking a lot...already was in early stages of kidney disease) and then he started howling whenever I touched his hind area. I took him into the vet (amidst many tears) and they ran bloodwork. His kidney disease has definitely progressed and the vet said at this point, we can buy him more time and keep him happy and comfortable with medication, but he definitely doesn't have terribly longer left in him...maybe a year or so. I knew this was inevitable but I didn't realize how much my heart would shatter.
He's home now, still groggy from sedation. He ate more after getting home than I've seen him eat in a long time, which is good. I won't have the complete blood work results until Monday, so all I can do for now is pray for the best.
By the way, KC was a gift for my 9th birthday in 1995. He'll be 20-years-old in August. I know I'm lucky that he's lived such a long life, but this is still extremely difficult.

I threw down $2 on the 12 and the 20 as per your advice. Also put in a shallow pick 6. First try at the Super Hi Five was $1980 and I only had $6, so I didn't make that bet. I did get a few exactas with Dortmund winning and Pharoah winning, just in case. Put the 12 in each of those exactas.

The 12 was scratched so you should be able to refund your show wager.
Jeez they are dropping like flies. Are they at like 17 starters now?

I just think a lot of these parents forgot how much they hated their parents doing the same thing to them when they were younger.

I know this is going to be highly contested by many of you, but I'm just offering a different opinion.
While those parents in your examples are in the wrong, I just want to throw it out there that not every kid hates it. Obviously no kid is a fan of getting yelled at for underachieving but if you don't like getting yelled at and you get yelled at when you do wrong, the natural solution is to stop doing the wrong thing. Growing up in a town where football is religion, I have seen parents do some crazy stuff, which I often disagreed with, but my dad definitely was harder on me than a lot of parents would be on their kids. I think it comes down to the kid. If your kid can handle it, then I say it's fine. With that being said, most kids do not respond well to that form of coaching, they just shut down and get sad because their parents are yelling at them. But, me, being an ENTJ, was always just focused on bettering results, so I was able to get past taking it personally and use it as constructional criticism.

It's better than your parent(s) not caring, right?

That's a fair point. I think it's an age thing too. They're seven, and many are playing for the first time. If they were older or more experienced, I could see that more. It also seemed to be the default setting for some of them. Straight to screaming and threatening without steps before that.
