I have been watching this thread go down the tubes for weeks now. It's just not right and not fair to Rich who started it with the best of intentions.
In a probable useless attempt to restore the original content of the post I offer my updated story.
I started playing WGT in 2011 on a cold winter day in Manitoba, similar to the present conditions.|I played a couple of times and thought....OH this is too tough for me. I came a week or so later and made a couple of birds. The rest is history.
I have made many close friends here and have had a ball playing game after game.Some have come and gone for various reasons, but I have enjoyed each and every one. I did send a fair chunk of $ to one friend who was suffering from cancer and had no money for a Christmas for her Son.Call me an idiot if you must, but I have no regrets and got a heartfelt thank you on my phone. Mission accomplished !I expected nothing in return.but that call was plenty of return.
I sold my business property a year ago now after 20 years there and am enjoying a kind of semi retirement. I had a building left over that I am trying to bring back to life which is a challenge. I work at it every day and thank God that I can still work that hard and still function.
I drink lots of wine......as all my friends can verify;)but they put up with me just the same.I'm not a great player and I don't give a $hit. It's all about friends here and nothing more.
And.......Anytime you wanna get yer a$$ kicked Renni.....Alt works too Look me up.! R
