Too much problems to post, even the words, Still no edit. 

I will spend considerably less time, everything for the last hour plus an hour last night either will not post or is deleted as I post it.

I stop, have a great day Vic.  You board is bad, literally the worst.  Sorry, but true.

Seriously, whatever you did is bad!  Sorry Vic, I tried to post pictures but now the message 'Security Check' shows not safe.  I cannot stand this, time consuming and senseless waste of time!  100%!

Vic, we really do need an edit button.  No way to correct mistakes after posting.  Also, much harder to post with knowing you have to get it right the first time, etc.  Also, once typing/posting we only have the one shot at it and the website still times out/defaults and upon posting cause of the amount of time-the post goes into default and wipes it out, etc.  Edit button will cure all of that. Thanks.

I remember most of the places in Las Vegas had 'Gambling' all over their outdoor facades and marques.  Today less and less.  I have not really noticed 'gambling' or 'gaming' on much of the advertising anywhere.  Quick scan of Google with Las Vegas Casino Ads and similar words/sayings---produces the old ones as I mentioned and lots of other ones without either words.  I looked at the ones I received in the mail the past couple of weeks for MGM, CET, Station chains and their is no mention to either gambling or gaming in the photos and headlines and sections. 

It is very dangerous indeed to win as most, the highest majority IMO at the north end of 90% will only up there trips, wagering amounts ad lose almost all good sense of what it is all about.  This article is so spot on it isn't even funny, it is dean-on factual modus operandi!!!!

Mine was dark blue and it was in Hollywood, FL.  I think, not sure it was a C-30??  Didn't have enough money for nice wheels, had those steel ones with the smaller chromed center hub cap (dented), god hated those wheels.  The wheels were painted white. LOL.

I have some local casino friends of course, most of us do.  I love these people. So strong and obnoxious when they buy-in.  They ask what to do at times, then when you tell them and show them what you think--they go against it.  Then if they lose they get even more head strong, etc.  Then after they lose their buy-in and re-buy in's they come around again with the questions.  Now, I am up and getting ready to sit idle for a while or possibly leave.  They get to the point of seriously asking and I am usually out of answers or at that point I can't second guess with any kind of accuracy any longer, if you know what I mean.  LOL, it is like a repeating sitcom all the time.  Doesn't change much.   

Seriously---driving people!  Why in tarnation do people driving onto interstates and controlled access divided highways via entrance ramps----not adjust their speed?  I cannot and do not understand this.  I remember to this day back in drivers education in highway school.  It was drummed into us about entrance onto an interstate or controlled access highway.  You must adjust your speed and yield, it is not the duty or the responsibility of the person in the number 1 lane to adjust theirs.  They might be involved in an accident if they do.  You can stop if nothing else at the end of the ramp. 

What I observe, every day, day in and day out.  Is people and the highest majority of them, not even looking towards their left, to the number one lane of traffic until they are actually merging and then BOOM!  All of a sudden the auto coming on sees traffic!  The highest majority are either texting or talking on their phones as well.  Then the fight begins and the hands waving and middle fingers flashing from the auto entering as they felt the traffic already on the highway got in their precious way.

Someone has to clue me in.  Really.

Vic, take the porn links down, I tend to leave BetSelection up right after my main screen and when the 4 year gets on my lap top, he clicks on everything.  You now have at least one porn link up on your site in the sports betting area.

You and me came up with it. They think we like seeing their ads. It's like the difference between AMC movies and Turner Classic movies. AMC was ad free at the beginning. Now they suck you in with 20 minutes before the first ad, then 15 minutes, then 10 minutes. By the end of the movie the ads are about 5 to 6 minutes for 4 to 5 minutes of movie. It's the bean counters.


It's the same with the Russians hacked the election. The people that consume the main stream media actually think that the Russians made John Podesta say terrible things about her before the election. It's amazing what people will just accept as normal. Commercials bring us all together in a harmonic buying cultural experience. The internet needs to change.

Exactly!  You are spot on!

I am a consumer and I spend money on the I-net.  I am in a kind of rural part of the Midwest.  I have 3 kids 250 miles away always asking for something and I can't always be there.  I work long hours and spend time 90-100 away from here at a couple of casinos.  Sure shopping at Wal Mart, Supermarket stores or the Walgreens or CVS, etc., is not difficult.  But I do buy plenty on the internet for various reasons, attraction-savings-convenience-necessity, etc. 

I will not tolerate those blasted time wasting loading pages.  Will not, cannot and do not.  The ads that caused them to that are not getting it from me.  Not directly or indirectly.  Have no idea how many more like me or not like me out there in their way of thinking. 

I do a lot on the internet most days, my business and personal life is on there of course.  So to be slowed down to read something I do not have to read, is not going to happen.  Like a store that puts up a diversion in their parking lot to make you see something no one really wants just in order to park.  I would not go even if I wanted their store goods.  You tell me I have to do something, chances are, I will not do it. 

Vic, we seriously need an Edit, and Edit should stay for the O.P. for at least 1 hour, if you are seeking to do away with posters deleting their posts. 

I have done it before as well, mostly for the 'argument factor' when a person is relentless or a few gang up, I rather just pull down what I said no matter what it was.  Trying to keep the peace, etc.  I understand what you want due to the roulette posting 'holy grail' scenario, but there needs to be a happy medium.

I do wholeheartedly believe and would strongly urge that posters in their own Blogs have ultimate control over anything and everything posted!!  In other public sections, you need to at least give a poster 1 hour or so to Edit.  This is mostly due to the fact of defaults and malfunctions of this board in posting.  It gets very difficult most times. 

Yes, and then when the board times out or whatever it is called, I lose it all, before--somehow with the EDIT feature still in place, 99.9% of the times, my office computer would hold everything I wrote and I was good to go with starting another new post reply, NOT NOW!

Posting and then proof reading and catching mistakes or additions needed are now of course impossible.

I understand the reinvention and taking away the delete/remove end of it, but everything else is getting 25 to 50 times harder to post!!!!

Seriously. But hey, all I can do is state reasons and suggest. 

I said, I would generally just skip them from a while back on.  Well today there was a Yahoo News Story and I was really interested in it.  I clicked on it and it turned out to be one of those that you read a short paragraph and then click next and boom---horizontal loading.  I went through like 10 -15 pages or so and each one take a bit to load for the 90% ads vs. less than 10% of the page for the continuing story, etc.  Never got to the info I wanted, scratched it, what a royal pain.  Seriously.

Wonder what Simi Valley late teen came up with that one, while drinking his Red Bull and eating gummy worms or something.

What is up with Mini-Vans??  Every time I turn around and read something or hear about a criminal, assault or scam--it almost always involves the people getting away or last seen in a Mini-Van???

Heck, back in high school we had full sized vans, like Chevy C30's I thing they were.  We stripped them out and put shag carpeting in them, built a platform for a mattress up in the read over the wheel wells.  1/4" plywood on the sides and paneling over that.  Painted the side windows out if any and the rear windows inside as well, black.  The colors inside was Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin blues-greens-purples and hazy yellows.  We had a been bag or two and a cooler in the main part.  A couple battery powered lamps attached to the paneling in the corners.  That was the 70;s and early 80's.  We had fun in our vans, after high school we took our dirt bikes out, on weekends we were at the motocross race tracks.  Who the heck stayed in motels, we had full sized vans! 

Such memories.
