What are you "best" bad beat on poker? I'm a beginner and yesterday i lost with JJJ55...

djr5899 This wasn't a bad beat, but just amazing bad luck. I went all-in in a tournament with pocket kings, and two others called....both of them had pocket aces!!! At first, I thought that might benefit me, since there were still two kings left in the deck and no...

Lost numbers

nuno_canelas @nuno_canelas (1470) • Portugal 29 Dec 06

For you what this numbers means? 4 8 15 16 23 42

lost

6 responses

djr5899 I've thought about playing those numbers, but it would actually be a bad idea. There are probably so many Lost fans that play the number, if they ever hit, you'd probably wind up splitting the money with 200 other people.

Theft prevention measures on children's toys too drastic.

djr5899 @djr5899 (51) • United States 30 Dec 06

Yesterday, I bought my son a remote controlled car with money he got for Christmas. I got the car home, and he was excited and ready to try it out. Then I opened the box.... Inside the box, the remote control was strapped to...

Why is it some questions get 700 responses and some get 2 or none?

Zephory @Zephory (176) • United States 26 Dec 06

It is funny, you write out a half way decent article about some topic and your lucky if it generates one or two respones. If you write some silly half 2 word sentence that is bland you seem to get 700 hits? What is the logic...

djr5899 I think a lot of it has to do with the category you are posting in. There are certain categories that seem to generate more discussion than others, like MyLot, TV Shows, Music, etc. Sometimes having the right tags makes all the difference.

Why do they have a whistle on airplane life jackets?

James72 @James72 (26790) • Australia 23 Dec 06

If people in the immediate vicinity don't hear a massive metal object of several hundred tonnes slamming into the ocean how are they going to hear a friggin' whistle??

ban the whistle

2 responses

djr5899 If your plane were to crash in the water in the middle of nowhere, the whistle would come in handy. Image crashing in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and a search party looking for survivors in the middle of the night. You may need the whistle to get...

Will the Miami Dolphins be able to get the victory tomorrow against the Jets?

djr5899 @djr5899 (51) • United States 24 Dec 06

Now that playoffs are out of the picture, do you think the Dolphins will be able to play a good game and spoil the Jets playoff hopes, or will we see a return of the Dolphins who won 5 in a row this season. I expect to see a...

Laser TV predicted to be death of plasma

ready2earn @ready2earn (435) • Italy 16 Dec 06

It's being hailed by its developers as the next revolution in visual technology - a laser television that will make plasma screens obsolete. Soon-to-be-listed Australian company Arasor International and its US partner Novalux...

djr5899 Wow, this sounds like a win-win situation. If this is the next big thing in televisions, then the price of plasma and lcd will have to come down sharply in the next year. I'd like to see how affordable these new TV's are, as "affordable" may be subjective to...

How to make GREAT Spaghetti and Meatballs

tradeshow2008 @tradeshow2008 (125) • United States 23 Dec 06

How to make great spaghetti and meatballs was discovered by myself only a couple of weeks ago. I must tell you that for the first time I made these spagetti and meatballs in this way, IT WAS THE BEST TASTING SPAGHETTI AND...

djr5899 One thing you can try differently is instead of cooking the sauce on the stove, get a crockpot. Put the sauce in the crockpot with all the ingredients, stir it a little, and then turn on the crockpot and let it cook for hours. My wife cooks spaghetti and...

djr5899 Our family opens presents on Christmas morning. Usually we will let the kids open 1 present each on Christmas Eve, and the rest Christmas morning. We usually open presents no later than 8am, since the kids are usually up by 7am.

Support me, will MIAMI heat Tomorrow? They will play vs Lakers. Go Go Go Miami!

djr5899 They have been playing better lately, so hopefully they can pull it off. The loss of Shaq has only taken away from the ratings, and will cause Wade to get doubled more often. If Miami's bench can play well, then they will pull it out. Need another big...

djr5899 I liked Joey, and was not happy when it was cancelled. Yet another NBC show that was given a lousy time slot and not enough time to get ratings.

The price of admission at theme parks

rice5899 @rice5899 (193) • United States 24 Dec 06

What do you think about the price of admission at most theme parks. I think they are outrageous, every year they seem to go up higher and higher, then alot of them dont even let you bring in food from outside, so then you are also...

djr5899 I agree that most theme parks overcharge. An example is a newer children's theme park called Wannado City. This theme park allows kids to dress up in different costumes and pretend to be things like a fireman, doctor, pilot, etc. Wannado City was charging...

Rosie Vs. Donald

coolcatzz @coolcatzz (1587) • Canada 23 Dec 06

Ok what do you guys think??? I definitely think she is losing it. She has been on the show for 3 months and she is stirring it up with everyone. She made Kelly Ripa mad insinuating that the only reason Kelly was upset over the...

djr5899 I think Rosie has lost her mind. I don't think The View was created to cause the type of controversey she is bringing to the show. I applaud Donald Trump for not standing by and letting her say what she has said.

Does anyone drive a Hyundai model car or SUV?

djr5899 @djr5899 (51) • United States 24 Dec 06

I own two cars, a 1999 Elantra and a 2004 Sante Fe, which are both made by Hyundai. I have been very impressed with their overall performance to date. The Elantra is just coming up on 65,000 miles and has had no major problems...

Millionaire

msqtech @msqtech (15073) • United States 24 Oct 06

With all the costs of living would 1,000,000 dollars be enough to survive on the rest of someones natural life? Or would you still have to work to provide for yourself into the future?

djr5899 It depends on your age, your lifestyle, and where you live, but even then, I say no way could that last you the rest of your life. If you bought a house, that would take up almost a quarter to a third of the money. Even if you bought the most fuel...

Has the Cost of Living grown past your income where you live?

djr5899 @djr5899 (51) • United States 23 Dec 06

I live in South Florida, and over the past 6 years, the cost of living here has gone up at an unbelievable pace. A house that cost 100,000 dollars 6 years ago now may cost up to 300,000 dollars. Gas prices are in the mid 2's....

djr5899 I totally understand what you mean. Here is a very telling fact in South Florida...the government passed a law last year that put the maximum income to qualify for welfare at 69,000 dollars. 69,000 dollars!!! That is crazy to think that someone could make...

djr5899 Yes, but in this case, EVERY discussion I saw for three pages was from the same user, and it appeared that in most cases, the user was tagging it as something it was not. As I said, it may have been tagged as a sports interest, but their post had nothing to...

Do you think that the United States should cut back on foreign spending?

djr5899 @djr5899 (51) • United States 24 Dec 06

The United States spends so much money helping foreign countries that they neglect their own country. I am not against foreign spending, but I find it hard to justify spending millions of dollars helping less fortunate people in...
