I had a long post written and then deleted. I'll add one more book to these. Then maybe I'll get it.

You're all right about one thing: I don't know squat. Yeah, I suck, I know it. I'm not saying I'm good at anything about pool, but I want to learn. I'm into this game 6 months, I've been considering joining a league but have never been on one.......but look at all of this crap! It's...

Good post. I'm sure I will experience a number of misunderstandings about how things work, and clarification is helpful. Thanks for being kind in your explanation and not ripping on me personally for my opinion. No, I don't get pissed off about it at all: I play with people who do play...

We are a motley crew!:grin: Took the vote, and the chalk goes to Tramp Steamer from The Rack Pack. The obvious reference was too good for the oldsters to pass by. Thanks Tramp Steamer. PM me with your address and I'll send your chalk out tomorrow. :thumbup:

I emailed Holly, no response. :confused: Moving on. I can get a years subscription to BD for $30 through Amazon. I guess I'll do that. My cat has MICE. :eek:

Okay. I'm just not that high a skilled player yet. I don't know what I can't make, so I have to keep trying these shots. I can't learn by playing safe, so I need to keep banging them around, learning the angles, learning the hard shots, learning to make the shots everyone else takes for...

Okay, taken down of the high horse. I've been foolish to think I know what I'm seeing. My friend is a good player....he's 68 and has been playing a long time. I don't know his rating, but I'd have to guess he's SL6. I guess I'm never going to be a real pool player because whenever there are 6...

I know about playing safe: this wasn't it at all. The people I watched playing were fairly skilled and were playing safe with at least 3 easy shots on the table (let's put it this way........I could have made them all). It seemed excessive use of the safety play. The game went on and on...

I believe you're talking about me, and I was indeed put off by the pissing contest that goes on about the different leagues here. So I decided to ignore the talk on here and seek out someone from each one and find out for myself. I went to league night and talked with the LO for each and...

The group has settled into Snoop's Saloon, but it's kind of a dive. They like it because it's close to home (Old folks, you know). I like Bluz at the Bend......small, clean, good music. Annie Fannie's is another place I like. Lots of tables, nice atmosphere. McQ's is spendy and the tables...

Coffin Dodgers...........an instant classic! I hope that gets the votes!:wink:

I'm showing this to my husband so we can get this goin' on in our house. SCHWEET!!!! Enjoy!:thumbup:

If you feel warehoused, it's your choice. You're alive and active. Get out and do something. Mentor some young kid in pool, change a life. Or ignore me entirely, which is the wise choice. :ignore: Will pick a name by tomorrow. So far, the Rack Pack is ahead (due to the Rat Pack reference...

Good point. I forgot about the top gap. Actually, it may improve the property to add a window in that garage big enough for a nice wall AC unit.

Calgaryplayer, I agree with you. I like online stuff, but you can't take your laptop everywhere, and a hard copy is good for those places where you like to read when there's nothing else to do.....like waiting in a doctor's office, getting a pedicure, soaking in a bubblebath, camping, while...

Why frame in a window at all? Couldn't you just raise the garage door high enough to allow for a fairly large room AC (mounted on 2x4 platform at floor level), close the garage door down on it, and cut some plywood to fill in the gap between the bottom of the garage door and the floor on...

Billiards Digest it is! Holly, pm coming your way.

I'm looking for a subscription to a magazine but don't know which ones are the best. I've found: Pool Digest The Break Pool and Billiards Magazine Inside Pool Billiards Digest Inside English Stroke I get skiing magazines, and I know that SKI and SKIING are published by the same company, and...

Okay, Robin, shameless plug: I bought a ticket and clip. I spend more than that on drinks a week while I'm playing,:o, so I thought it would be a good investment. I LOVE the clip! Every place I play is so 'user-unfriendly' that no matter where I put my cue, it ends up getting knocked over...

hahahaha:killingme: Puckered Pockets!
