A Big Well Done Goes Out To Women In Poker

Uncategorized No Comments »

Finally, for the first time in history, the poker playing public are able to forward nominations for the Women in Poker Hall of Fame Class of 2010. I shall try and not dwell on the question as to why it took so long for the poker playing community to recognize its female counterparts, especially when they (well, we) lose just as much hard earned cash at the poker tables than any other person does. However, we don’t want it to sound too much like feminism and more about spreading the credit.

The induction process is due to take place in Las Vegas over the Labour Day weekend. Nominations were accepted until the 30th April and as we type, the winners are expected to be announced. So what do they consider of an inductee into the Women In Poker Hall of Fame? You really need to have been active in poker circles for at least 15 years and therefore added to the global poker community in some sort of way. If press releases are to be adhered to, this means either making a significant contribution to the industry or having a big win at the major poker tournaments.

Any women who has spent the past 15 years dedicated to the sport will be able to say they have made significant contributions! You only have to look at my bank statements over the past 15 years! I, as a woman, also played poker once, lost significantly and so that was my significant contribution to someone else’s pocket. However, in spite of this critical take on the situation, at the end of the day this endeavor is highly commendable. It is wonderful that people are stepping forward and recognizing that ladies can also take part in a highly-skilled game of chance while conspiring and bluffing their way to the top and that they deserve the same amount of recognition as men do.

And so, in conclusion, women in poker have the induction ceremony to look forward to and if their luck wasn’t coming through on the poker table, perhaps their sacrifices will be recognized at the official Women In Poker Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

Long gone are the days where women are excluded.  We too can join in with Internet Poker and enjoy games of Littlewoods Poker and PokerStars Rakeback

The solution they came up with was the gift vouchers.

 

You can save up so much time that you would normally spend visiting shops or browsing on the web. What is a bit hard is to work out the amount of money you are happy to spend!

She will have a great day, doing what she really loves and you will get all the credit.

What is great about gift vouchers is that it bring in that element of freedom so the choice is down to the individual.

I have been to many places. We’ll I guess I’ve met different faces, different cultures, different environments, different persona or dispositions. You must travel and explore the world before you die.

Must see places before you die are; Paris, France a place for lovers, city of light and where you can see the famous Eiffel Tower. The Machu Picchu in Peru where it is known to be a historical place. The Tubbataha Reefs in the Philippines a nature park that has an underwater sanctuary for many species. The Jeju (Cheju) Island in South Korea famous because it is also known as "Island of the Gods", a very relaxing place for lonely hearts and wandering minds. The New York, United States time square and statue of liberty. The Egypt’s pyramid the tomb for pharaohs.

These are just some of the places I’ve always want to go, soon. Before living for a journey. You must first secure your money, you need it so much second to your life. Also, you need to list all the things you want to bring for the trip. Remember to travel light.

Also secure a passport and a visa, so you can cross borders if you want. No hassle and worries while travelling. You must also bring a camera to capture all those sweet memories in your trip. Bring flip flops or shoes for your convenient. Never forget to wear a smile every time and everyday.

When you meet different people smile, be friendly. People love a person who is friendly and approachable. Tame any gingivitis. When you are in a place, learn something new like you want to learn some of their basic language like I love you, Hello, Good morning, Good night, Thank you, and your welcome. Take it down to your notes and put the name of the person who teaches you and let them sign it and also you must have a picture with that person. In that way, you can always remember the people and the place and whatever they teach you. And of course, make your self safe. You will never know what you will encounter in your trip. Always, protect yourself against periodontal disease by practicing good oral hygiene -even while travelling. Pray and ask guidance so that you can return to your home safe.

Let me share this to you, while I was travelling in Asia particularly Philippines. I made all those things. And somehow when I look into the pictures of the people it makes my eyes teary. They are such a very accommodating people and they smiles a lot even some of the children have incomplete teeth or even gum disease. I learn to love their place. I Also know what is "I Love You" in there language, it is "Mahal Kita".

We Love To Shop At The Mall

Uncategorized No Comments »

I picked Linda up to go to the mall. We didn’t need anything in particular, just liked to shop. She had a new cordless handheld vacuum and I asked here where she bought it. She said she was shopping for a power screwdriver and saw the vacuum on sale. I’d been looking for one but wanted to buy it on sale. She had got hers because it was on sale.

I mentioned needing one to vacuum the carpeted stairs at home. It was next to impossible to lug the big vacuum up each stair. I wanted something light weight to pick up small messes like potato chip crumbs. She let her kids use it now to clean up their crumbs after snacking.

My daughter had spilled about a thousand beads on her bedroom floor last week. Even after she retrieved most of them, she still stepped on a few and they hurt her bare feet. She couldn’t get them up with the broom because it didn’t work on the carpet. I got out the vacuum and helped her out. She isn’t big enough to push the large vacuum cleaner yet.

Then we went in one store at the mall to look at bedding quilts. I was overdue for redecorating the bedroom. We checked over all the pretty colors and patterns. I decided to wait for a sale on them though. I did buy a couple of new pillows. They were on sale.

We always looked in the jewelry departments. We tried on a few rings. One aquamarine ring was pretty. It would match some earrings I had at home. It was delicate looking. We examined some of the pretty chandelier earrings that were popular. She couldn’t wear those because she thought her neck was too short.

She looked over the bracelets. We both admired the wide ones with three rows of crystals and pink or purple beads added for accent. I wanted to buy one but would wait for a sale. I usually did that cause I always found what I wanted on sale.

Handbags, scarves wallets, we looked at all of them. In the shoe department we laughed about the stiletto heels. We decided the movie stars were welcome to wear them and possibly break a leg doing so. It’s like walking around on two ladders. Why take a chance on falling?

Back in the jewelry department we happened to notice the display of wedding bands for men. We wondered out loud what Scott would select. He was a friend of ours who was getting married in a few months. He was a somewhat adventurous person. We thought he might choose one of the gold bands with diamonds set in them. We thought they were somewhat feminine, but he might like them.

Great Housewarming Gifts For A Friend

Uncategorized No Comments »

Whenever you have a friend that has just moved into a new home, finding the right housewarming gift can be tough. However, since this is probably a celebratory occasion for your friend/s share in their joy by doing something special. This something special can come in the form of a gift or a special gesture.

Initially, you probably want to figure out what they need in order to know what will be useful to them. Are your friends a new couple moving into their new home? Or, are your friends an already established family? Answering these questions can mean a lot to figuring out what to buy.

The difference between an already established household and a new couple is that the new couple will probably still need the basics. Basics such as a ge microwave can help them get through their busy week. Small appliances can be both convenient for you and practical for the recipient.

A countertop microwave can be a handy gift for young couples with little time to cook. Pre-cooked meals can be heated quickly for dinner. Not to mention the actual cooking you can facilitate in a microwave for convenience!

If you are visiting an established family, that probably has all of the basics think about other gift ideas. Gift baskets can be helpful when moving into a home. Create a theme around the gift basket. For instance, a new home will probably need new plants for the garden. You can bring over a basket of your favorite garden plants. Think creatively to make an impression.

If your friend has a passion for baking, consider a heart cake pan. This is a simple and fun idea that your friend may enjoy. This is great if you are working with a limited budget as well.

Fresh plants can outlive fresh cut flowers. Plants are lower maintenance than flowers as well. They will also be around longer than flowers.

Consider a wreath for the entrance door. This can be a homey gesture to make. The wreath can be a seasonal, holiday or everyday wreath. Consider a storage box for the wreath for when your friends want to put it away for a different one.

If the new homeowners are still moving in, consider preparing a meal. People who are involved in the chaos of moving do not have time to prepare meals. This can be a special gesture on your behalf. Include plastic cups, plates and spoons to make clean-up easy. This may very well be a welcomed break from the chaos.
