    What would you do? Custom 24 month wait or instant Gratification?

    It might be something you worked for and want and maybe get some emotional benefit from. maybe it instills some confidence, sure, that can help.. I can say the best players I play with can beat me hands down even with the most horrible cue. I'm happy to play them, it means I am likely to...

    never heard of this stuff.. OT, Ive been working on my front steps and back railings that see full rain. used to be able to get Sikkens Cetol but it was discontinued. all I seem to be able to get is these inferior water based coatings that don't even last a year. I soaked some of the porch...
