No problem - I just wish I had more tools to play with here at work. At home I've got all kinds of graphics tools, but here at work...well, that was done with clipart from the internet manipulated with PowerPoint and Windows Imaging. How sad is that? :D I PM'd you... PS - Barbara -...

Eydie, I messed around on CafePress for about 20 minutes and came up with this: http://www.cafepress.com/billiardsstuff That's really rough and wouldn't have names on it - although the design could incorporate a space for a name & a sharpie would do it. The base price on those is $1.25 - I...

I'll be at the Sheraton - can anyone tell me if it's really walking distance or not?

LastTwo, Thanks for the link - it looks interesting.

Gotcha. :D

I agree with this - I personally prefer some interaction with the other player (provided it's positive! :eek: ).

Mike, I don't think that's logical - hearing reduction due to headphone use is intentional and reversible, physical hearing impairment is neither. Just a thought.

I live with & take care of a child who's not biologically mine. It makes no difference to me that he's not - he's my son, I just had him in a different way than usual. Technically I didn't adopt him, though I would if I could. The whole family plays pool. He and I do bond over the game and...

I'm guessing that it means you're invisible. :)

So Ratchett & macguy are irrational. And I'm useless. Actually, I probably should know by now that asking for rationality (e.g., someone who is adamant on "no name calling" wouldn't call others irrational and useless) is useless. Thanks for the reminder.

I don't follow this logic. First, you appear to be implying that if a statement is factual, it cannot be insulting. I'm not sure that's true. Let's say a guy goes home to his wife and says "boy your face is really getting wrinkled!" Now, it may be true, but I think the lady might be a bit...

Ummm....I'm pretty sure straybullet was just providing you with a cool graphic.

Website? Does the tour still have a website? I know it did when it was Hampton Ridge...

Thanks - thankfully it won't be nearly that long for me. It was serious enough that I had to go to the emergency room, but I should be back to normal (or whatever passes for normal!) quite soon - probably in time to get my scores up. As if I still want to, after the practice sessions...

Good: last weekend I got in two practice sets in preparation for starting to post scores. Bad: I suck! LOL :D Worse: Monday, I suffered a serious injury to my bridge hand. I won't be playing at all for a little while. :eek: :(

I agree. I played the 9 ball game for a little while a couple of months back, and tried a little practice on this version for the first time last night. I scored quite a bit higher (on average) per rack in the 9 ball version. I didn't expect that from reading the rules, but that's what I...

Ok, now I'm clear that the scratch ends the rack. However Hal said he did subtract 1 for the scratch, and while you say you agree with Hal, you say you haven't done that. So I'm still not sure which it is. I hope the ghost weighs in. Like you said, I don't think it makes that big of a...

I PM'd this to WillieBetMore because I didn't want to look stupid, but he hasn't answered and I wanted to try to get in a set tonight. This is my question: ------- In reading the rules, I'm clear on what happens if you scratch on the break. However, I'm not clear on what happens if you...

I'd like to echo this...and perhaps change "rarely" to "never." Sometimes you don't have children in the usual way, but they are no less children of your heart. You have to do what you believe is best for them, even if nobody else sees it your way - you're the one who's in the position to...

And the one in your flowerbed? That's Pete. :)
