You have definitely got it made my friend. I have to sit here in my office all day and play internet poker, sometimes even talk business to someone and all I get in return is 150K a year. After my long day of AZ Billiards and poker, I too get to go home to my wonderful wife and soon to be daughter. Tough times. I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers, just expressing my opinions on this open forum. Take care.

My friend, it takes a lot more to ruffle my feathers than some guy on the internet that I haven't met. For all I know you are a woman. Ya never know buddy. Quite a few of the folks on here have been in my home playing pool and eating good chow. They have come from California, Oklahoma and quite a few local Az'ers. They can tell ya I am not a woman. You got any refrences?
Now, congradulations on your job and wonderful wife. I am very happy that you have been blessed. Also, congradulations on your soon to be daughter. That is a wonderful thing my friend and I am sure she will bring you much happiness. My two sons were born in 1969 and 1977. So we both have been blessed. WONDERFUL!!!!

Alright, this was a fun and friendly thread, but now you've taken it too far..... Stan Lee is a comic book genius.

In fact, during his first 25 years at Marvel's helm, variously as head writer, editor and art director, Lee scripted no fewer than two and as many as five complete comic books a week.

This mind-boggling output easily equals the largest body of published work by any single writer. Additionally, Lee wrote newspaper features, radio and television scripts and screenplays (just to kill some of his downtime from comics).

Sorry, back to the topic at hand....Does anyone know when John will be playing? I'd like to see one of his matches.

That would be me! I can tell you that Purdy is a class act. He welcomed me into his home and fed me a great supper. I looked forward to our get together next week. Let me know if you or the Wife want anything from Oklahoma and I'll throw it the suitcase.

Don, sorry to hear about your job. I'm sure you'll be successful in cue sales, repair and instruction.

Nope! I haven't had a toke in a while. When I did, you have never seen anything like it unless you spent a lot of time in Amsterdam.:rolleyes:
I learned all there was to learn from dope. I don't knock anybody who does what I have done a million times. We all go thru what we have to to learn our lessons. That's Life's Lessons my friend. Try reading a little Elizebeth Huebler Ross instead of that Marvel collection of yours.;)
Peace My Brother, Purdman
This is kinda fun, don't ya think. Man I get to be here with my wonderful wife all day, go down in the basement and shoot all the pool I want, cook my dry aged Black Angus steaks on the Webber Gennesis and banter with you. What more could a poor guy do!!!!:D You got a problem with Deepak, take it up with him.

You must be referring to the ELIZABETH KUBLER-ROSS book "On Death And Dying". It is an inspirational piece of work.

Now you have made yourself the JUDGE here. That is one heck of a responsibility Nathan. There are bilions on the planet waiting for your JUDGEMENT. How about giving me mine now.;)

I would and have and it was not a gamble to me. It was my pleasure to help one of the best players out. Gambling puts an emphsis (sp) on a particular outcome. That is why you are a looser in that area and why you say "Hell No". You operate out of fear of not having enough. I operate from the point of living life more abundantly thru faith. So I say "Heaven Yes". You my son will understand this one day. Then you will have the keys to the Kingdom and access to the Throne like I do. I am not trying to admonish you, I am trying to enlighten you. Explain to you the error of your way so that you also might open your heart and try to help somebody besides yourself. You see, I have found that the more you give away, the more you will recieve. I back this up with deeds and reap the rewards without Attachment to any particular outcome. Peace My Bro, Purdman

Purdman,

You don't know me. You don't know what I believe or how I treat people. Ask people that know me how I treat people and most will say, WITH RESPECT. I try to give and help others when I am able to but that has nothing to do with my view on this issue.

I said that I thought it would be a lot of fun to sponser a pro. I would have a lot of fun doing it. FROM MY PREVIOUS POST "But I would be more than happy to help someone if I thought they needed it and deserved it. From his responses on here, I don't think John qualifies for either of those reasons."

I did not like how John responded to Russ in the Low Payout thread. I thought it was very arrogant of him to say (with no reasoning) that obviously Russ was jealous of him, his ability and his lifestyle.

Russ' Points (I agree 100%)
1. Professional pool is hard to make a descent living ($$$)
2. Every Pro knew that before becoming a pro
3. No one tricked them into going pro
4. If you knew what you were getting into then you have no right to bit*h afterward (I do hope they figure out a way to make more)

I do not know John. I have never met him. I am not jealous of John. I do respect his pool playing skills but from what I have seen on here from him, I have no reason to respect him as a person. I have heard that he is a great guy in person and I would not begin to argue to the contrary because I have no way of knowing.

My only point was that if I am going to back someone it will be because they need and deserve it or for my own personal reasons like the fun of it or the chance to win some money.

Need- doesn't qualify from what he said in the past
Deserve- From what I have seen of his thoughts, he doesn't qualify in my opinion
Gamble/return on money- bad odds vs possible payoff
Fun- sure, I think it would be fun

Purdman, just because I say "Hell No" means nothing in regards to my spirituality. I try to live by the golden rule. I believe I have always treated you with respect and you turn around and call me a LOSER. I disagreed with some of the people that were bashing the posters who questioned John's request. I only pointed out what John had said in an earlier post, stated my opinions on the issue and said why I felt that way.

If the members want to back pro players I am all for it. But I think we could find plenty of players that are more deserving and more in need than John Schmidt.

Just my 2 cents.

Peace my brother Nathan. You are certainly entiled to your opinion and I can respect that. Your opinion seems to be very low when it comes to JS. As you can see from the thread, your opinion is in the minority. You have nothing invested in Jon but your negative judgemental attitude. You are entitled to that. I just don't think you should try to pee al over everyones parade. Please tell me why you feel that is your job.

Can we please STOP speculating John's reasoning on everything or questioning his actions. If it was any of YOUR businesses, I am sure he would tell you. I mean shut up already. Do you nits have to spread your "Cancer ridden crap" every chance you get? Save us all and go play in another thread if you want, but leave this one to the upcoming event and true excitement of watching our horse run. Man, people can be like a pack of wolves...someone says the word "embarrassed" about something and out come all the pitchforks.

We all screw up on message boards. We make a post that later we think, maybe I should not have said that. We (hopefully) apologize and move on. If not, you just keep digging a hole that many people on here won't soon forget.

I love free speech. It is kind of a love/hate relationship. I love it when it goes MY way, but when it doesn't, that pi$$es me off! ;) OK, so I am obviously kidding...I love it all the time, but it sounds funnier the other way. :D

I don't mean to pee on anyones parade. I wish them the best of luck. I hope they have fun with it and get their money back.

I only posted when everyone that asked WHY JS was asking for a backer got ripped a new one. I thought it was a legit question and that JS's earlier committs to Russ were relevant.

I have never been scared of being in the minority. I like to think for myself. I also try not to judge anyone until they give me something to judge. Which is what I did with JS's other posts and yes it ended up being a little low.

Purdman, no response to calling me a loser? I wouldn't call that very Christian. Would you?

Nathan
 
Can we please stop this mumbo jumbo talk. This is no place for beliefs, religion, love of life, or who has the biggest whatever.

We got a player to root for here. Go Johnny!:cool:

Although it is really funny all this started out with a thread entitled simply: hi

:D
