Thx!! Long over due. I’m gonna start playing again. I figure 50-100 hours of deliberate play I should be half way in gear. I don’t ache all over today and my eyes were pretty good. I should be able to get back up to 75% sooner than later. I’m not looking for action-I just want to play, for now. Get moving around and feel good.

Happy Holidays

welcome back to the other side!
I know you love gambling pool but there’s something to be said for just enjoying the game itself for what it is. I’m sure you’ll get back up to speed in no time.

Went out and played pool last night. First time in over a year I hit a ball. Had fun, payed horrible-but didn’t care as I can’t expect much as I’ve put nothing into my game. Did the pool bug bite again? Maybe….

Was thinking about this last year, my bday is in a few days, Christmas is here. Darren sadly is in hospital-We are all pulling for him💪💪🇬🇧. He like his 5 balls orange for sure!!!

While 2022 wasn’t a perfect year, sure as hell was better than the previous couple years! And while the headwinds of the economy are gonna be difficult in 2023 we should be grateful that we had a great 2022 all things considered and are here to have a better 23 no matter what.

So Happy Holidays to everyone here on AZB

❤️Fatboy

Just want to thank everyone here for being here and hanging out. I took 7 years off and came back a couple years ago now and it’s been fun. Thanks to everyone!

I also concur that the my pleasure derived from this forum is immeasurable! My better half gets after me all the time for constantly checking my phone, to make sure I didn’t miss anything here or to add a post / response to a thread I am closely following.

It is awesome to be able to share our passion for this game with others who feel the same! Happy holidays to all and may 2023 bring us all health, happiness and continued enjoyment from the game we love!
 
Been a tough holiday period for me this year. My wife and I separated (after 42 years) Jan 1 of this year. So this is my first year since 1979 spending the holidays alone.

But, even though it took me 40+ years to figure it out, I think I did the right thing. I also turned 65 yesterday, so I got that going for me, too :)
 
I made this a few years ago. Seems appropriate again.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !

Christmas can and is a difficult time for some folks I understand how that can be .
Grimper hang in there things will get better I promise !
For me I lost a good friend Charlie we both were going through cancer treatments I survived it however Charlie didn't he's in a better place one without pain or suffering .

I had my last treatment on Dec 26 th 2017 so each day is good however this is a day I feel I was given another opportunity to put smiles on people's faces and to try to make it a great day no matter what ha ha so I celebrate a bit more each Christmas day and give thanks to the man upstairs because I'm living proof he watches out for fools and idiots or I'd of been dead back in 1978 ! Ha ha

Happy Holidays Fatboy...you have been an inspiration to me, especially with your real life musings. I think I saw you at JOBs one year for the Music City Open. Hope to meet you at the DCC if you go.

I’ll be there, come find me. I’m not shy! Love to meet you. I’ve met so many great people over the years, it’s always a honor to meet people who share the same passion. The pool family is my family.

I was at JOB’s one year-I think 08 or 09, mite have been 10 at the latest. My back was in real bad shape at the time-probably not 10.

Looking forward to it,

Happy Christmas 🎄🎄

Fatboy😃

Happy Bday🎂🎂

One foot in front of the other and eyes forwards. It’s hard, life is never easy. There’s easy patches and rough patches. A guy told me when I was about 31-32 years old(I’ll be 56 next week) he said:

“Always keep an even keel in life, don’t let the highs be to high or the lows be to low-no matter what’s happening. Keep it even and a cool head”

He was right, I have had success more than most and losses more than most. Extreme by any definition. And that bit of advice has helped me a lot. I never trivialize things but sometimes just saying “fuck it” and letting it go is the best option. Not getting sentimental can be hard, but is necessary.

I only offer these words to anyone who reads them as a way to help make their life as pleasant as possible. Cause it never gets easy. A roll or 2 never hurt anyone in life, but the balls roll funny for everyone. Sure that’s a movie line-but it’s true as well.

To good health and future for us all,

Fatboy💪💪
 
Hard to imagine taking a year long hiatus from pool! Hope you get your stroke back soon. Merry Xmas to you and all other fellow poolplayers!
