Up to 70 days now and can enjoy watching the masters for a change...
Thought of the day... do people still gamble but not in a financial way? I think most of us will do and if so what's your attitude to this type of gambling - are you risk averse etc?
To explain, my son is a complicated little thing and as he's so tiny we essentially force feed him through a nasal gastric tube. You pull out the contents of his stomach with a syringe so you know how much is in there when you start. We then have a set amount we should try and give him each feed as we know if he keeps that down he'll grow. However, if he has a lot in his stomach at the start you know that you won't be able to give him the full feed or he'll be sick and you'll lose a load of valuable feed plus have to tidy him up and put him through more stress probably burning more calories in the process. So nearly every time I feed my son I feel like I am gambling - taking an educated risk. I want to get the most feed in him to make him grow but if I push too far I'll be in a worse position.
Or in my job I take educated punts every day on a whole range of things... should I quote X amount or Y amount? Should I do something for free in the hope I'll get more paid work in the future? Should I charge a huge amount as I think they are desperate for me to solve this problem but I could risk getting nothing?
I find in general that I am very risk averse.
Interested to know your own thoughts.
Can't disagree with that, same in my line of work. I think it's more a a risk that you have made the right decision in the actions you take in life. I see the gamble as more of a financial thing. I can make the choice to completely remove that part from my life, with the choices I make in life I try and make the right choice and hope it's the right one. (Not a fan of the hope word but I do)
Proud of you dealing with a very difficult situation and now making the choice that gambling won't make that any better.
you seem to be getting stronger everyday look after that little guy and the Mrs and it will all be worth it

Hello maaaaaate ! Glad it made you laugh , I saw it on someones post and thought uuuumh ! how'd he get away with that one , maybe forum admin missed it or had gone to lunch ? Gave it a try and hey presto , there it was in all its uncensored glory , well you know me never one to turn the green light down eh ! , I actually wanted to make a post of just that word 300 times, Great !!.
Just find it strange that you can say " d******d " but not " cra.ck " ? , I think this requires more investigation ?.
I have been noticing the odd post coming from you and thats great to see buddy , the day count's creeping back up and you seem a bit more at peace with yourself thes days ? , good stuff my friend ! , I hope things are better with your son and slowly improving for you all ? .
Hi Change (and Des if you're reading), I sussed this out last year, if you capitalise it, you can say d**k. You can even say Crack I think, we'll see when this post is published. But you can't say any other f*****g, s**t, w**k word if you don't put a capital on the front 🙂
By the way, good going Change, you'll be in the 100 club before you know it!

Oh, they've caught on. I obviously can't say d**k, f**k, w**k or s**t now. Never mind, it's good to just have the stars, it leaves a bit to the imagination lol!
