    are the posters here their own worst enemies?

    Of course I was only looking at that awesome necklace!

    are the posters here their own worst enemies?

    Yeah! What was I thinking? Nice avatar! If I was playing her, I'd be like, "AZ? What's that?"

    are the posters here their own worst enemies?

    Hu, I understand what you're saying but I don't agree with you. You are who you are and you're not what could be inferred to be from comments someone else says on here. If you take seriously what someone on here says about you, you give them way too much power. If you do that, you've been...

    are the posters here their own worst enemies?

    I don't understand why people take things said on here to heart so much. Most of the people on here are incognito. Who cares what somebody on here has to say? Why take anything said on here personally? I think people get more upset with what they say themselves rather than what others say...

    Pool Lessons

    I can't dig up the data he used but I'm pretty sure he wasn't making it up. By the way, I understand that a certain amount of lecture is necessary. The point I was trying to make is that those in the business of higher learning don't always use the best tools for learning because they can be...

    Pool Lessons

    When I was going to college, one of the professors said that the worst method of teaching was lecturing. Given that, college professors and the great majority of educators lecture a great deal and some do it exclusively. Personalized System of Instruction (PSI) was considered to be one of the...

    Pool Lessons

    It sounds to me like you're making an assumption about BCA certified instructors. If you do not have first-hand knowledge, how can you make a statement like, "They do not teach let alone know what he knows."? I'm not defending BCA instructors, but I am challenging your statement just on the...

    For Rude Dog...

    Wow! I haven't been coming here as much as I used to. I remember Rude Dog very well. He had a very bad leg and shared with us that it may have to be amputated. Could it have been from some complication related to the leg? Anyway, rest in peace my friend!

    Getting the most from your game

    Mr Incardona, Great thread!! A thread like this is exactly why I ventured to register to this site in the first place. Some of the other posters on here have given some really great input on this thread. For myself, I find that if I focus on anything but shooting the ball, I'm lost. I...

    your opinions please...

    Here in CA, you have to have someone serve the wage assignment. I don't believe you can serve it yourself. The police here are up to their eyeballs trying to prevent much worse crimes from occuring to spend time serving wage assignments. Also, liens are what you use here to satisfy a...

    your opinions please...

    Good Post I totally agree that going to small claims is nothing more than an air prize. Getting a judgment and getting paid are two different things. Enforcing the judgment is not easy unless you have a friend in the police dept. I like the idea of threatening arrest and if you can find...

    Giving up big handicaps at one-pocket

    I think it really depends on what your goal is. If you're trying to make money then I would be pretty tight with the spot. However, it sounds like you're just trying to have fun and get into games that are challenging for you and your opponent. I like the idea of changing the spot every time...

    A question for veteran members

    I'm 57 and I don't ever recall pool being in any type of "Golden Era". Was it ever better than it is today? Sure it was but it wasn't what I'd call "Golden"! Seems to me that what is needed is for someone to come along that has integrity, a love for the game and the wherewithall to pull the...

    I lost 2 friends

    Hondo, They were way out of line! You were totally justified in my opinion. And, I know it's not about the politics but you were right there too! LOL!!

    Sleeping in your car, a warning

    I had a friend that got into trouble with a jealous boyfriend and his two buddies. He was driving his car and they pushed him off the road and had their car up against his so he couldn't get his door open. They came at him with tire irons. He had a .38 in the console and didn't pull it out...

    Where is Bucktooth?

    I think that's just a false rumor. Most people that know him would find that very hard to believe. He's a nice guy but he's not one to give money away, at least not that I know of.

    What constitutes a bad hit?

    Jointed Cue

    I'll see if I can be over there then. I go into Eddie's once in a while. I've played Willie a lot over the years. I'm not sure who Allen is but if he goes in there a lot, I'll probably know who he is. I worked at Eddie's for about 3 years, just on the weekends. I'm pretty sure we'll...

    Jointed Cue

    It's still going on in Merced, about 60 miles south of Stockton. My daughter did her solo today and that's what we went for. It should wrap up by tomorrow. I'd love to shoot you some. Let me know when and where. I like all the games, 9b, 1h, or even 3 cushion (carombolla).
