No, I could care less about it. I think the most famous one here is the Kentucky Derby. There's also the Belmont and the Preakness Stakes. I hear about on the news when they occur, but I pay no attention to it.
Back in the day I used to go to the race track all the time, but that was trotters. A couple of friends were really into gambling on the races. I would lay down a bet once in a while. For me, It was mostly just to socialize and get out of the house.
The shit was so rigged back then. The whole thing was corrupt and controlled by the mob.

Our sporting leagues would be flat out staying afloat over here if it wasn't for gambling companies so im sure there's some funky stuff going on here and there. Like the old roman circus back in the day, used to distract the people.

This was basically the way gambling on harness racing was back in the early '80's.

Gee whiz! That scene was a wild ride . Isn't sports betting still banned in certain states there and wasn't legal in a lot more states until recently?

I'd have to look it up. We used to go to the Meadowlands in New Jersey to bet on the ponies, so it was cool in New York and New Jersey. I don't know about any other state.

According to google. Looks like it's a religious thing, funny how these same people have no problem gambling on the genetic lottery of their children .

Here is what I looked up.

The wide world of sports betting in the United States changed forever in May 2018, when a pivotal Supreme Court ruling granted states the authority to independently legalize U.S. sports betting as they individually saw fit. Fast forward to October 2022 and over 30 states have successfully launched some form of legal sports betting and more states are looking to do the same, with one major state, California, voting in November on whether it will be the next.

Surprised California hasn't legalised it yet.

It's a money machine for the state. So what if you entice the citizens into throwing away their hard earned money. The state is gonna get it one way or another.

True. I don't think i asked you but have you ever actually used amazon? The layout is either atrocious or I need to get better at online shopping. Could be a bit of both.

Yes, I've ordered tons of stuff through amazon. They literally sell everything that you can think of. I don't know what algorithm they use when you search for products on their site. There are so many results. You have to use their filters and if you're not a prime member, you have to order $25 or more in order to get free shipping, but you knew that already.

Have you ever done Microsoft Rewards @newave3? You should look into it. On mine I can get $10 amazon gift cards when I have enough points saved up. I don't think they have amazon benefits there for new members but they have walmart gift cards im pretty sure (if you ever go there and shop) and fast food vouchers.

Yes, Microsoft has sent me emails with my reward earnings. I hardly ever use bing so there must be other ways of earning rewards

@heavyeyes Shopping can get addictive and out of control especially when they make it so easy....a few clicks, wait a couple days and you have your purchase right at your doorstep. Eazy Peazy, lemon squeezey.

Yea man, Amazon got the delivery shit down pat. They need to clean up their site though with all the fake reviews. You have to put them into fake spot.com.

I have ordered a lot of flashlights. The Chinese manufacturers claim 10000 lumens, 25000, 100000 lumens. They just claim any number. The sun doesn't throw as many lumens as they say their flashlights do.

It's a mixed bag with Chinese made products, some are of high quality while some are just trash. Tucker said almost all our pharmaceuticals are made in China, along with everything else. They really got us by the short and curlies.

What did u eat today?

I had two apples in the morning, a large zinger crunch twister box from KFC for my dinner and after our walk I had some nightly cereal in the form of Nutri-Grain once again because that's all we have at the moment. and you?

I love frozen pizza.

Yes me too. I added onion, tomato, pepper and chopped mozzarella to it. So good.
Last week, I made pizza with store bought dough and pizza sauce. I added mozzarella of course. I liked it but I really need a pizza stone for homemade pizza. The crust was too chewy. A pizza stone gets super hot and makes the dough nice and crunchy.

The best pizza ive ever had was when I lived in the country. It was an old guy who owned the shop and everything was made fresh. Better than the crap you get from Pizza Hut or Dominos.
