Would you Marry a Woman strictly for Money?

[Journeyman]

LOL- I'm just having fun with the green shirt, as its been rumored I stole the original from the internet, well I just wanted to post a different shot to prove a point...

Actually Dante- I need a class in motivtion at the moment, as my gambling bankroll has went up, my fitness level has plummeted!

 

[MadCapper]

LOL- MC - you are one of the few people I talk to regularly, you know when I speak in these threads they are indeed real life ...

19-1 , and $26 mean anything to you sir,lol?

Yea. Means ALOT!!

Hook a brother up. You are marrying rich anyway.

Journeyman, everyone knows you're a homo. No need to post the picture .. :nono5:

 

[TANG]

most likely yes but she cannot be a house

 

[Whoson1st]

JMAN You seem like the real deal to me. From an older guy's point of view and for a long range view--remember the famous song: "What's Love Got To Do With It"?

IOW--Be carefull it's not a second hand emotion.:hump:

 

[Illini]

Journeyman- I guess my whole feeling about gambling is that it's a great thing in life. I love it, love the action, and love winning. It's the winning, not the money, although the money is great when you do win. I plan on having a significant amount of wealth when I am old, not because I make a lot, but because I put much of it away. But I still think I'll get excited and be motivated to win at betting, even though it will have no impact on my financial position at that time. It does impact my financial position now, and enables me to take trips and things when I win. But I will keep the same frugal view towards money, no matter how much I have. Heck, my dad is retired and doesn't have to work, but gets so pumped about $5 bets and office pools. Just keep it about the winning and the challenge, and not about the money, and you'll still be able to have that excitement.

On the other hand, gambling is just a diversion, and is not real life. I make it my life at times, but that is stupid. Don't base life decisions around it. I love the new U2 album, as well as all of their other albums. U2 reminds me of what life is about everyday. Emotions of all kinds, and spirituality. Life is deep, not shallow like gambling. Just keep gambling that way. You can love gambling, but it can never love you back.

I should have re-phrased the title...Its not even about the money to me,I would never be with someone just for money, its about knowing MY MONEY MEANS NOTHING NOW,lol...I will have no monetary relevance in this...Its very strange...

You have to see my point....Its like all of the sudden I will have no monetary goal in life...All my past relevance (sweating a nickle on Md -6, will not mean anything) I can't sweat over a ball game ever again...It will be very odd.:digit:

 

[Journeyman]

Illini, you're a very deep thinking philosophical dude, i like about you...you make alot of sense, are you religious?

 

[WorldNumberOne]

i wouldnt do it J man .

having said that, she needs to know that i am a single dad of a 9 year old girl. so we have a lot in common.

now email me some pictures of the future Mrs World Number One....

Illini, you're a very deep thinking philosophical dude, i like about you...you make alot of sense, are you religious?

I'm very deep, almost to a fault. I guess you could say I'm actively working out my worldview. I became a born-again Christian years ago, but stumbled into many doubts. I think I'm probably in about the same place as Bono. Ultimately, I think the truth leads to Christianity, although I remain unconvinced totally.

Illini been puffin too much :smoker2: and drinking too much :drink: .

This man is a deep thinker, I like that :coffeetim

 

[Illini]

Journey-what about you, bro? What is your view? I find that many people will not share theirs with me, and that's cool if you don't want to.

 

[Journeyman]

I share all my views lol...thats why I get attacked so often,,,I am very much in left field about religion...At best I am a work in progress....I have talked with SSI about this on the forum many times , Hache as well....

The threads meaning got lost , I wasn't saying I was looking to marry someone for the money, I was saying my whole past relevance would be insignificant, and thats a strange thing to comprehend...I am a deep thinker as well, thinking too much can be bad though...

I guess deep down I do believe in the after life, but I struggle with it ALOT!

As I said, this woman's husband was killed in the WTC so thats another whole nother issue thats got me concerned.

I wouldn't care if the lady had bigger arms than me but she'd have to get rid of the mustache first. :nono5:


As for the size of the bets that should have no bearing. If you're making wagers that are so big they are causing you emotional drama then you're betting too big. Regardless of how much you have the desire to win never goes away, you might be surprised. The allure of gambling to me has always been about winning, the money is secondary. I am as pissed losing a game of Monopoly as I am losing my biggest bet of the day, I hate to lose at anything PERIOD. They say for sick gamblers, the best feeling in the world is a winning bet, the 2nd best feeling in the world is a losing bet.

 

[blackhawk1776]

hell no!!!!!!!!

 

[Illini]

I understand that the title of the thread is actually not what this is about. But I really think that no matter how much money you have, you still need to be productive, and sportsbetting could be your "job." I mean, there's only so much you can do with your money. Vacations would get old, if you had no meaningful work to get back to. So my guess is that you wouldn't lose your fire to bet a nickel a game, and sweat them out just like you do now. It's competition, even if the money isn't all that relevant.

As far as the deceased husband goes, I know that is a sensitive issue. I really don't think that a 2nd husband has the right to expect his wife to just forget about her first. I have enough baggage myself that I would have no problem with having pictures of him up in the house, and even talk about him fairly regularly. It's not like they got divorced, and she should just forget about him, like he was an a-hole. He'll always be a part of her life, and probably always have a piece of her heart. But that's okay. Some people may not see it that way. But you can move forward and still have great memories of the past, I think.

Journey that is not you!!


That is a male model from some website and his name is Jack Stromberg

 

[Journeyman]

Patrick , Thats A Good Line About The Greatest Feeling And Second Greatest Feeling...that's Not Me Though....but I Do Agree Its More About Competing Then Money, It Always Has Been! BTW- I DONT HAVE A MUSTACHE:nono5:


Jj - Think What You Wish,lol

Illini- I Agree, You Make Alot Of Sense...

Even When You Talk About The Home Court For Illinois!

 

[Illini]

J-Man, IL on the moneyline every night at home is like a 10% to 20% ROI every night. They won't lose there. Hey, are you going to the Florida bash?
