I Called In Sick Today

Ya, this is true. I do this quite often though.I would possibly agree with you if any of my bad mood had anything to do with her. It does not. I just took it out on her.

That's what wives are for.Go home, tell her that you're sorry that you snapped (or whatever) at her last night, that you were not mad at her you'rejust in a bad mood because of ________ and that you shouldn't have taken it out on her.Womenz love when you open up like this. She'll be eating out of your hands....at least ;)Married 23 yrs regards,

[Note: This post was written while listening to the song "Criminology" by Raekwon (ft. Ghostface Killah) on repeat.][Wang pins ears back.]Right after I wrote my defense of Bodog's poker software, my roommate and I started playing the a slot machine at Bodog Casino, and the game absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt, malfunctioned. We just finished writing a letter of complaint, which is only the very first step in a long process, as I have had to deal with Bodogian nonsense before. If they don't go through their gaming records and fix the error, which I expect they won't -- they're like Great Benefit Life Insurance -- I will lose my fucking shit. Due to my previous experiences, I'm well-armed with evidence, and prepared for the inevitable showdown with Bodog support. I've gone toe-to-toe with Bodog so many times, under a number of different circumstances (usually ridiculous stuff that happens in their hilariously awful sports book), filing grievances under a number of different accounts, and they have managed to get off pretty easy most times, because either the person I was defending didn't have any leverage -- "Man, they'll just close my account, and I don't want to get banned from playing poker there" -- or I ran into some kind of brick wall.Not this time. My roommate has been playing there less and less recently, and his account balance there is low enough at the moment that if they stole his money, it would be worth it to take the situation nuclear. I am dead-serious about making a huge deal of this. I might make a "Bodog Cheats" website, and spend 20 hours a week compiling evidence, trying to hurt their reputation. It's just such a fucking joke the stuff they've made me and other people put up with.

i bet El G is really wishing he'd invested properly in glitter pens and squiggly scissors from ebay!

hahaha, that cracked me up. And oh yeah, CONGRATS MOJO!!

[Tiltinagain 973]

Wang is, without a doubt, the absolute last person I would want mad enough at me to start a nuclear assault on my reputation via the web.Here's hoping, for their sake, that they come to their senses and do the right thing.However, part of me is really hoping they try to stick it to you just for the entertainment value.

[Tactical Bear 3]

Don't test me.I'm less worried about the coinflips now. I've had a rough day, and decided to do the same thing with my own all ins. I'm now 1-9, all when starting in the lead. And I'm not quite paranoid enough to think that Bodog is out to get me, so it's just a crazy mathy kinda day, I guess.

I am full of anger. This anger is, at the moment, best expressed via: lyrics from the original Mafia/gangster rap album. This anger is not directed at you, though it could look that way, but I quoted you because, for whatever reason, I wanted you to understand the full depth of my rage, because there is some chance you are, in this, my spiritual brother.

No worries, it's not like your anger will be contagious.

I think there's something very important that we need to vote on.Who is more likely to succeed in his righteous pursuit of prying money out of an evildoing corporation: Wang or Randy?Randy is lacking hard evidence, but willing to go the distance to punish anyone that crosses him. IAMS may not be willing to settle because doing so could be looked on as an admission of guilt, but they also may want to put a muzzle on this particular cat owner. Wang has plenty of evidence, as well as a burning internal anger that, while usually directed at unsuspecting professors, can be focused on more vital matters. He may have nothing to lose, but Bodog is probably quite accustomed to people claiming their software is glitchy and threatening to go on an Internet rampage.You make the call.

I think Randy because of who he is dealing with, although I admit I don't really know most of the details of his case.

-IAMS puts out a food that's deficient in a particular vitamin-IAMS realizes this but does little to inform its customers-Randy's cat, which eats only this food, dies from symptoms identical to those of the particular vitamin deficiency-At this point there's no way to prove that Stanley, said cat, died directly due to said deficiencyThose seem to be the most pertinent facts. Not that you needed a summary of what's already been said.

Because of the individual situations, Randy is much more likely to get money out of IAMS. In fact I think he'll get anoffer any day now based on the last I read about it.However, if Randy and Wang were both put in the same situation, going after the same company, my money wouldbe on Wang.

kinda has to be. in order to come out ahead, randy needs a bunch of reimbursements for crumpled up twenties on top of whatever compensation is offered.

So I was really mean to my wife last night, for really no reason other than I was tired, sick and in a bad mood.I need to make it up to her. Any suggestions.FlowersSex

Is there something she's been asking for (activity or item) that you've been denying her for cost reason's short of say a new car or a house? An I-phone or some fancy shoes or something?

Their latest World Cup Casino gag was fun. Purchase $32 worth of Casino tokens, they'll give you $32 more, to make $64. Now you cannot cash out any of those $64 until you meet the rollover, which is 125x or whatever. Good times.

How did the slot machine malfunction?

Here is a link to a play-money version game that malfunctioned. There is a stopwatch in the lower right corner of the game. Each spin advances the second hand of the stopwatch by one second. After 60 spins, you win the amount accrued in the center of the stopwatch. This amount, called the Freaky Pot, increases in two ways:1) Each spin, 5% of your average stake for that round is added to the Freaky Pot. To activate this feature, a total stake of at least $.50 is required. (The game has 30 lines, and the minimum per-line spin is $.05.) 2) The total value of the current Freaky pot is multiplied by the number of Weight Symbols that appear anywhere on the reels. (So, if the Freaky Pot stands at $2.50, and two Weight Symbols appear on screen, the Freaky Pot would increase to $5. If three Weight Symbols appear, the Freaky Pot would increase to $7.50.)At one point, we had a spin with two Weight Symbols that should have doubled our Freaky Pot. It did not.I perused the rules during play to make sure we weren't missing something. Perhaps the Weight Symbols both must appear on an active payline? No. It says quite clearly in the "Multiplier" section of the "Paytable: Bonus and Features" page that the Weight Symbols can appear anywhere on the reels. Perhaps there is a limit to the number of multipliers allowed in a round? Yes, but it says quite clearly in the "Bonus Meter" section of the same page that "FreakyPot can be multiplied up to 500 times during the game!"Minutes later, in the same round, the same thing happened. We thought the amount may have increased appropriately, but not been reflected in the FreakyPot amount shown on screen. When our 60-spin game was up, we collected the amount displayed on screen, which was significantly less than what it should have been, though I'm not sure by how much. Edited to reflect new information:IRRELEVANT NOTE: Even though I know on which spins the malfunction occurred, I don't know what the cumulative total of the two malfunctions was, because there are three ways the Weight Symbols Doubling and 5% Per-Spin mechanisms can interact:1) The Doubling takes place before the 5%/spin increase is accounted for.2) The Doubling takes place after the 5%/spin increase is accounted for.3) The Doubling takes place instead of the 5%/spin increase.This has a reasonable large effect, even over the course of a few spins. Below is a 4-column list of values, assuming that the FreakyPot were doubled on the bolded lines, based on each of the above interactions. The first column is "cumulative value of FreakyPot, based on $20/spin" starting on, say, the 10th spin. The second column is the value of the FreakyPot if the mechanism works as in #1 [(FreakyPot x 2) +1), the third column is the value of the FreakyPot based on #2 [(FreakyPot + 1) x 2], and the fourth column is the value of the FreakyPot baed on #3 [FreakyPot x 2].10 10 10 1011 11 11 1112 23 25 2213 24 26 2314 25 27 2415 26 28 2516 27 29 2617 55 61 52Even over the course of 8 spins, the impact of the malfunction can vary greatly depending on the interaction. [Expressed as a "multiplier," or "ratio of DoubledFreakyPot to Malfunctioning Piece of Shit Bodog FreakyPot, it can be 3.235 (#1), as low as 3.059 (#3), and as high as 3.588 (#2)]

I'm interested. I think people are going to say me, but it would really depend on a few important pieces of information that people don't have:1) How important is my roommate's business to Bodog?2) How much money were we screwed out of? The answer the question #1 SHOULD be: "quite important," as he's been contributing to the rake at Bodog Poker for years, and he places sports bets there regularly. However, there is a potentially mitigating factor: he might be considered a sharp, and therefore undesirable, player in the sportsbook. On his account: we are winners in the long run; consistently beat the closing price for the lines they post for sides/totals; and snap off any really bad numbers they put up on futures and props. We occasionally bet square sides for friends, but even so, Bodog has been dealing us dual lines -- we are given a different set of lines for many sides and totals than the general public when we log-in on his account -- indicating that they at least pay his account some special attention, and might prefer the account not place sports bets at all.

Thank you. I love that song. I've been listening to Ghostface's catalog all day.

Well, you and I have different views of what constitutes a new house. For me, a new house is one that I am acquiring regardless of age or condition. To you a new house, is one that has not been lived in.

No, I meant that you are buying her a house?I would assume both of you are buying the house for your whole family, including yourself.Or possibly that you alone are buying the house for your whole family, including yourself.I don't have any real point except to be snarky.

Oh ok, well I was just trying to make a point.Of course it's for the family. The reason we are killing ourselves is 3 fold1. To put my kids in the best school district (arguably) in Northern California.2. To get a house that we can grow into and make our own in a fantastic area at a great price.3. To provide for my Mother in Law so she can possibly sniff retirement some day.Also, It has a game room with a bar; and a swimming pool; and a workshop.
