i was born in 76 kenny  Nobody wins at casinos too much house edge that's why i don't like them , in fact not many win through gambling full stop I actually make more from pokerstars directly through bonuses etc than i make winning other peoples money , so at least i have some dignity ! |

i just went to the casino initially for the company Mc. Regularly stayed till 2-00am and work at 9. It got to be like a drug. When I found I could win on here I thought what's the point and sacked it almost overnight.

yep i quit the bookies almost overnight when betfair first started , used to tell my mate who was a huge cash punter but he just wouldn't listen , don't even think he had a pc back then , told me a few years later he'd got no money left & still works at the same factory now

I don't bet to make money,i bet to win fortunes in one hit if I knew I was only going to make a 100k a year I'd stop betting tomorrow I do 18 hour days everyday so it would be pointless works out £16 an hour...

I haven't got the time to read every post but the ones I have seem to be money orientated.
The point of life is building and maintaining relationships. Nothing else really matters. |

I think the point to life is to give your children confidence and make them feel loved.

"We're The World (USA For Africa)"
There comes a time when we heed a certain call When the world must come together as one There are people dying And it's time to lend a hand to life The greatest gift of all We can't go on pretending day by day That someone, somewhere will soon make a change We all are a part of God's great big family And the truth, you know, Love is all we need [Chorus:] We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares And their lives will be stronger and free As God has shown us by turning stone to bread So we all must lend a helping hand [Chorus] When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all But if you just believe there's no way we can fall Well...well...well Let's realize that a change can only come When we stand together as one [Chorus] |

Obviously your heads gone.
Start exercising (Healthy Body/Healthy MIND) You need a new challenge,you've beaten all the others. Try a bit of charity work,you'll be surprised of the effect. You sound like a Capricorn btw.successful,but prone to Depression. |

Science to the rescue. There was a 22-year study of 26,915 suicides in the UK based on birth month. The peak months were April, May and June and the lowest were late autumn/ early winter. So if Capricorns are getting depressed they seem uncannily unwilling to go the whole hog and chuck themselves in front of a train.

I agree with seaview if you exercise and eat well you feel better instantly. Should cut down/stop drinking and smoking as you get older.

You get 1 life.
Do with it what you want(Fact) Most of you have done the normal thing of settling down with 2.4 kids and a Mortgage so you have commitments to abide to(nothing wrong with that all) I've never had any of that(and can honestly say I'm not bitter or sad about missing it) But at My funeral they really will be able to say I did everything my way. And too me,that's what life is about(doesn't work that way for everyone,but for me Yesh Sir ree) |

By:
^who is going to organised your funeral after you died?
|
|
By:
His bookie.

By:
From what I've lost the Firms should pay for it really.But just because I'm not married with kids doesn't mean I'm a Loner(slightly naive to think that)
I have a very close knit family,and some very good friends. But at the end of the day if I'm honest I couldn't give to hoots if I was stuffed in a binliner and nobody turned up to my funeral. Does it make you a better person by the amount of people you have at your send off ? I think not. |

You only need six people to carry your coffin

HaHa.The way I'm piling on the pounds,it might need 12
 But why you focusing in on the end part ? This thread was about enjoying life was it not ? I see soooooo many people stuck in unhappy relationships,but carry on because it's the done thing(good luck to them) But they haven't lived their life,I can always say I have.I'm blessed  |

Think I can claim a hole in one,or a 12/1 winner.......those above who think its total rubbish.
MrMac. I am an extreme version,so can relate to everything youve said..been thinking similar things for a few years. I once had counselling and told the guy dont think you can help me.Trying to tell me sometimes 2nd best is acceptable. Had to tell him its Black or White,if somethings not right it therefore must be wrong. |
