Tigers' stripes are on their skin, not just their fur - but how often do you get to see it?!

This is the female Amur tiger at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium (I can't find her name online, somehow). A sign on the exhibit noted she had recently had medical care and part of her belly had been shaved in the process. A beautiful lady, and those stripes on her skin are just stunning.

Hangster. Explicit. Years before they meet in person Bradley and Jake strike up a friends-with-benefits relationship online. And then something more like an actual relationship.

Odd year = Bradley's POV and Even year = Jake's POV

>>Bradley chatting (bold and italics)

>>Jake chatting (italics)

2005/2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013

2014 – Jake

                Jake looks at the dates Nick has said he’s on leave and looks at his own calendar and scowls. It’s getting beyond a joke now and he feels like kicking something. Instead he goes for a long run, feet pounding the pavement in frustration. There’s nothing, not even a few days. Of course plans can change rapidly, which is what fucked them over in the past, so maybe it will act in their favor this time. He can only hope.

…            …            …

>>You know, with Taylor Swift’s new album I could put 1989 back in my username and everyone would assume I was just a fan.

>>You know who Taylor Swift is?

>>I’m a country fan. I like her older stuff.

>>Also I don’t live under a rock.

>>Old man.

>>Like you can talk.

>>You had your original birth year as 1986, you trying to make yourself younger now huh?

                Jake lets out a laugh, because this right here is how he knows he’s still talking to the same guy he started chatting to nearly ten years ago.

>>Nick, I’m thirty soon. That’s the age gay men die.

>>I’ll have a wake.

>>Bullshit. Don’t buy into that.

>>Life isn’t over when you magically turn 30.

>>Life just gets better. That’s how I feel anyway. Got my best years ahead of me.

>>Also I’m over thirty and I’m not chatting with you from my grave.

>>You might be. How would I know?

>>I might be dead by the time we actually get to meet the rate our luck is going.

…            …            …

                He knows the year is going to be a complete write-off when he enters the rec-room and Bradley Bradshaw is sitting there chatting with Omaha and Slipper. He can’t help but notice the two bars and tries to not let it bug him, knows it’s barely any distinction but it still rankles. As does the rejection, which is months ago now, it hadn’t been a stinging rejection by any stretch of the imagination, but it had definitely been a shutting down of anything, and those two-bars will be another reason or excuse Bradshaw will throw out there if Jake tries his luck again.

                Not that he will. He does note that Bradshaw hadn’t said he wasn’t gay, which is usually the first thing out of a straight man’s mouth when he’s asked out for a drink. Unless he’s completely oblivious, and if he’s being uncharitable then maybe he can think that Bradshaw is oblivious. But while he might not have taken Jake up on the offer of a drink, he’d been very quick to take Bambi out to dinner and then take her back to his place, where she’d spent the night. He’d thought he’d caught Bradshaw looking, but he wonders if it was just wishful thinking. Part of him wishes he was ignorant about all of it, but their base housing had all been too close for him not to notice.

                And now here he is.

                Stuck on a carrier with him for the next few months.

                And the fucker has gone and grown a fucking moustache.

…            …            …

                Fortunately Bradshaw seems to be content to keep his distance from Jake, almost like he’s wary of him; he also isn’t friendly, not like he is with nearly everyone else. Jake isn’t an idiot, he can extrapolate from that that Bradshaw doesn’t like him. He already suspected that was the case, and it rankles a little, but he tries to remind himself that not everyone has to like him. Something both Nick and Javy tell him. They’re in different squads, so fortunately the mutual avoiding each other is fairly straightforward.

                What does amuse him though is that Bradshaw has picked up a new callsign, Rooster, and the fact that he knows the origin makes him smirk every time he sees it on his helmet or flight suit. That probably doesn’t help endear him to the other man either, but Jake will keep his fairly benign callsign until someone gives him another one, or he does something either stupid or brave to earn one. He keeps up his Snapchat photo streak with Nick, although he does note the change of background of the morning coffee cup. Looks like every other fucking coffee cup on every naval carrier in the fleet.

                He looks up how many people are currently serving in the Navy and pulls a face at the number. 319,120. He’s one, and Nick is another. He supposes he should feel lucky that he at least knows Nick is Navy, because there are 1.35 million in the US military combined, which is an even more mind-boggling number when he tries to think about possibly of somehow just randomly bumping into Nick.

                Stranger things have happened though.

…            …            …

                “You don’t like me.”

                “I don’t know you,” Bradshaw replies, face bland and Jake responds with an equally bland smile.

                “And who’s fault is that?”

                He walks out of the rec room.

…            …            …

                He rings Javy to complain the next time they have shore leave, and for his credit Javy just lets him rant for a solid five or ten minutes before he tries to interject with anything.

                “Okay man. He really seems to get under your skin. I don’t know what to tell you, because I haven’t had any issues with him. He’s been… cool. He’s pretty chill and laid back, at least with all my interactions with him. Is there anything that you could have done that maybe annoyed him? More than just work shit that is…”

                “Oh. Uh.”

                “Jake… what’d you do?”

                “I asked him out?”

                “Seriously? With the whole attitude you gave him while we were at Top Gun you thought he’d say yes?”

                “I figured it couldn’t hurt to try.”

                “Well, I’m pretty sure he’s got something serious going with someone, at least, that’s what I’ve heard.”

                “Bunch of fucking gossips…”

                “Yeah well.”

                He suspects Javy has got his intel from Natasha Trace, and if that’s the case then it’s probably solid and correct. He doesn’t know what to think when he pairs that with the idea of Bradshaw having something serious but also having Bambi sleepover at the end of their Top Gun detachment. Unless the something serious is Bambi, which is also possible. Huh. He doesn’t say anything else though, because he doesn’t want to care anymore about Bradley fucking Bradshaw than he already does, annoying asshole. He does feel like he’s been a bit of a dick himself though, his comment he made about the fault being his that they don’t know each other. Jake isn’t usually that defensive, knows it’s got to be because Bradshaw turned him down, but he has to respect the guy if he does have something going with someone, because Jake wouldn’t have known, likely wouldn’t have ever found out, and he knows plenty of guys do.

                Too late to do anything about it now though.

…            …            …

>>You still out there having shitty sex?

>>Hey now.

>>I don’t go looking for bad sex.

>>It just happens to me.

>>You clearly have a gift.

>>Wow.

>>Thanks man.

>>Truly I am blessed.

>>You want a picture to cheer yourself up?

                Jake can’t type his reply fast enough, the pictures and videos that Nick sends him few and far between but so good, and he’s starting to develop a thing for long fingers. Especially when they’re wrapped around a cock, and he’s mentioned to Nick that the idea of Nick’s hand wrapping around both of them gets him hot. The picture that comes through is gorgeous, Nick reclining and the picture down the length of his body, one leg stretched straight, the other bent, his cock hard in his hand as he jerks himself. The lighting is warm, like it was taken at either sunset or sunrise, all pink and peach hues. They’ve both improved in taking pictures, and he takes a screenshot so he can stare at it properly later rather than getting flustered about the time bar getting smaller.

>>Saw you take that screenshot.

>>What are you going to do about it?

>>Nothing. Just letting you know that I know you’re going to jerk off to it more than once.

>>Yep.

>>Going to work myself over thinking about getting my mouth on you, sinking down on your cock.

>>I can’t exactly take toys with me when I’m deployed, but I can finger myself and imagine that it’s you.

>>God Jas. Send me a picture?

>>Sure thing.

…            …            …

                Bradley and his squadron leave the carrier after four months and Jake wishes he was leaving as well. Nick has leave soon, it would line up beautifully, but he’s got another three months of this deployment, and then he has four weeks of leave, but Nick is meant to be deployed again by then. The tide has not magically turned in their favor and lined up their leaves and he keeps his most bitter disappointment to himself.

…            …            …

>>Well, you aren’t the only one having shitty sex. Man some guys are dicks.

>>What happened ? Or should I not ask?”

>>Just a hook up. Blew the guy and he didn’t even reciprocate. Tried to give me a handjob but he wasn’t even trying or into it.

>>That doesn’t seem fair?

>>Well, it’s not always fair, but I’d kind of gone in hoping for reciprocation as a bare minimum. Ah well. Can only go up from here.

Kaiju Week in Review (February 18-24, 2024)

Godzilla Rivals: Mothra vs. M.O.G.U.E.R.A. begins with a standout fight between Mothra and Ebirah. From there, however, the Queen of the Monsters spends most of the story on the sidelines, with a brawl involving Mechagodzilla, Garuda, Jet Jaguar, and M.O.G.U.E.R.A. over the fate of her egg taking center stage. A mech fight on that scale is unusual for a Godzilla comic, and despite the misleading title, it's a decent issue. Writer Johnny Parker II sat down for a lengthy interview with Kevin Derendorf and Raf Enshohma this week; I haven't had time to listen to the whole thing, but I do know he talks about his valiant efforts to put Medical Jet Jaguar from Godzilla Island in the comic.

Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #5 also released this week. Afraid it didn't leave much of an impression on me; the book is juggling a lot of narrative threads now, and I don't see how it wraps them all up satisfactorily with just two issues left. I would've liked to see a more focused cast (and not just because it takes forever to list all the DC characters on Wikizilla each issue, haha). They also finally mention Monarch in this issue, which only makes the absence of the Monsterverse's human characters more conspicious.

Between Dune: Part Two and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, March was already going to be a great month at the movies for giant monster fans, but they'll now be joined by an anime classic: The End of Evangelion. GKIDS is bringing it to North American theaters on March 17 and 20 (a Sunday and a Wednesday, respectively). All showings will be in Japanese with English subtitles. This is not, as some reporting has suggested, the first time the film has ever played in the region—I found a Facebook event page for a 2019 screening in Omaha, for instance—but it is certainly the first major release. Be forewarned that if you haven't seen Neon Genesis Evangelion, you'll be confused out of your mind, as the film serves as an alternate ending for the final two episodes. But you've got time to get caught up.

Like many a Godzilla movie before it, Godzilla x Kong is leaking like a sieve, with a number of alleged screenshots of the Titans now making the rounds online. I normally wouldn't mention such things in this column, but they show a couple of characters who haven't been officially confirmed to be in the movie yet. So here's a warning to be on your guard if you're spoiler-shy.

Used to be a storm chaser now chases Magic because it’s more thrilling

Willingly goes into a vampire lair with not much hope of escaping alive.

Starts to try and tell a vampire named Josh his life story some highlights include: ‘My name is Shepard, I’m from Omaha’ and ‘My parents are divorced, how about you’

Tried to warn Josh the vampire that drinking his blood is a really really bad idea

Promptly kills that vampire when the vampire tried.

‘And I am also slightly… a little bit… cursed’

‘Wrong place, wrong time… a series of miscommunications and cultural differences’

The curse left him ‘well and truly fucked’

He’s now an illegal immigrant

He tried to get help from the curse from a genie

He learned of the curse ritual from ‘some guy I met’

He lost his third born child to a giant for the ritual

The demon he summoned? He actually got engaged to it…

He was not forced to marry it, he asked for its hand… on accident

He has tried to hook up with a fairy

It is highly implied that he has gone home with other creatures

He lost his firstborn child to three imps

Lost his last name by telling it to a fairy.

He got an STD from a merperson, but don’t worry, he’s only a carrier

The curse was labeled invalid because of how much if a wreck he is. See above.

What is White Label Poker Software and Why Your Business Needs It?

The rapidly changing sphere of online gaming has led to the emergence of white-label poker software as an effective solution for businesses seeking to get on the poker bandwagon quickly and efficiently. These pre-built, customizable packages help entrepreneurs set up a professional poker platform with the functionality, time, cost, and complexity of developing one from scratch. White-label poker software provides players with access to the competitive online poker world with minimal effort on the part of a business. It involves letting a software provider handle the development and backend aspects so that a business can focus on developing its brand and customer experience.

Let's see what makes white-label poker software such an important tool and what it might bring to your doorstep.

Understanding What White Label Poker Software Is

White-label poker software is, essentially, a pre-designed and fully functioning poker platform that businesses purchase or lease from a third-party provider. The software is specially branded to fit the buyer's requirements for branding and operation, providing, as such, a plug-and-play solution to get on the market sooner rather than later.

Unlike custom development, which takes months and sometimes years, white-label poker software is more of a quick road to launch. It also comes pre-equipped with all the essential features, from multiplayer functionality to tournament settings and even payment integrations.

Why Use White Label Poker Software?

There are many reasons why white-label solutions become highly sought after by businesses:

Cost Efficiency

Creating a proprietary poker platform can be very cost-intensive. White-label solutions mean no heavy resource use and no development cost.

Time-Saving

Provided that the framework is pre-built, this means that weeks, rather than months, are taken to launch.

Reliability

White-label poker software has undergone enough testing, which makes it stable, therefore limiting technical issues.

Important Features of White-Label Poker Software

Customization and Branding Options

One of the biggest advantages of white-label poker software is that it is completely customizable. From the logo to the interface, businesses can customize the software to suit their branding and give players a unique experience.

Payment Integration

For a smoke-free user experience, most white-label poker software incorporates payment gateways. This feature will assist players in making convenient deposits and withdrawals of funds with a variety of payment options, including credit cards, e-wallets, and cryptocurrencies.

Gaming Features

A good white-label poker software provider makes sure that the software carries advanced gaming features such as:

Multi-poker variants, such as Texas Hold'em and Omaha.

Real-time analytics for tracking the activity of the players.

Cross-platform compatibility, which allows access through both desktop and mobile devices.

Why Your Business Needs White Label Poker Software

Quick Ingress to Market

Opening a poker site takes lots of work and time. Even when starting from ground zero, businesses can jump over the hurdles of development by using white-label poker software to gain fast entry into the market. The fast speed can be useful in the online gaming industry, as a delay may mean losing a competitive edge over others.

Scalability and Growth Opportunities

Another good reason to invest in white-label solutions is the scalability. When your user base grows, so will the traffic as well as the added features of the software. The flexibility allows businesses to expand without reinvestment.

Technical Support and Maintenance

A reliable white-label poker software provider not only offers powerful software but will also provide continuous technical support. This ensures the platform runs smoothly, is secured properly, and stays up to date so that you can focus on customer acquisition and retention.

Choosing the Best White Label Poker Software Provider

Key Consideration

Selecting the right provider is mission-critical when it comes to your poker website. Here are some considerations:

Reputation and Experience: Opt for a provider with a proven track record in the gaming industry.

Feature Set: Ensure the software includes essential and advanced features that align with your business goals.

Security Measures: A reputable provider will implement strong security protocols to protect player data and financial transactions.

Evaluating Cost and ROI

While white-label solutions are cost-effective, it’s essential to evaluate their return on investment (ROI). Compare the upfront costs with the potential revenue the platform can generate. A well-executed poker platform can deliver substantial profits, making the initial investment worthwhile.

Conclusion

In a nutshell, white-label poker software is a reliable means of launching an online poker platform. It saves both development time and expenses. By leveraging this solution, one can easily establish his presence in the competitive gaming industry.

So, partnering with an efficient white-label poker software provider will always ensure that your poker platform is adequately equipped with its emerging features, scalable infrastructure, and continued support.

The Importance of Business Insurance in Omaha and Bellevue, NE for Retailers 

Owning a retail business in Omaha and Bellevue presents unique opportunities and challenges. Whether operating a boutique, a store in a shopping mall, or an online-based business, retailers in these cities must manage various risks. Comprehensive business insurance is one of the most essential ways to protect their investment. Business insurance in Omaha and Bellevue, NE, offers crucial protection from unforeseen events such as theft, property damage, and customer injuries—issues that can seriously disrupt operations if not adequately addressed.

Protecting Against Theft

Theft is a significant concern for many retail businesses. Whether shoplifting by customers or internal theft by employees, theft can result in substantial financial losses. Companies can be particularly vulnerable to criminal activity in cities like Omaha and Bellevue, where the retail market is diverse and competitive. Business insurance, specifically crime insurance or a commercial property policy covering theft, is essential for retailers to mitigate these risks.

Crime insurance helps businesses recover losses from theft, whether it involves stealing goods, cash, or equipment. Commercial property policies often cover stolen physical assets, including merchandise and store equipment. For businesses with high-value inventory, this coverage can make the difference between bouncing back quickly and facing severe financial hardship.

Protecting Against Property Damage

Property damage is another risk that all retail businesses face, particularly in areas prone to severe weather or other unpredictable events. Omaha and Bellevue, like many parts of the Midwest, are occasionally affected by storms, hail, or flooding, which can cause significant damage to storefronts, inventory, and equipment. A comprehensive property insurance policy can protect against the financial fallout from these events.

Property damage can occur from other causes besides natural disasters, such as accidental fires or vandalism. Without the right insurance coverage, a business owner may find themselves financially responsible for repair costs and replacements, which can be overwhelming. With business insurance, however, retailers can have peace of mind knowing that their property and assets are protected against a wide range of risks.

Protecting Against Customer Injuries

Customers' injuries while on the retail premises are not only traumatic but can also result in expensive lawsuits. Whether a customer slips on a wet floor, trips over an obstacle, or is injured by faulty equipment, the business owner could be held liable for medical expenses, legal fees, and damages. This is where general liability insurance becomes critical for retailers in Omaha and Bellevue.

General liability insurance covers a range of potential liabilities, including customer bodily injury claims. For example, if a customer falls due to a wet floor and requires medical attention, the business insurance can cover their medical bills and legal fees if a lawsuit is filed. This type of coverage also protects against property damage caused by the business or its employees, such as accidentally damaging a customer's property while selling or performing a service.

Additional Insurance Considerations for Retailers

Aside from coverage for theft, property damage, and customer injuries, retailers in Omaha and Bellevue should consider other insurance policies that may be relevant to their business. For instance, business interruption insurance can help if an event, such as a fire or flood, forces the store to close temporarily. This policy compensates for lost income and helps businesses cover ongoing operating expenses while repairs are being made.

Workers' compensation insurance is also essential for businesses with employees. It ensures that injured employees are compensated for medical expenses and lost wages, protecting both the employee and the business owner from costly legal battles.

In today's uncertain world, business insurance in Omaha and Bellevue, NE, is a vital safeguard for retail businesses. By securing the right coverage, retailers can protect their businesses against theft, property damage, and customer injuries—three risks that can otherwise threaten their operations' financial stability and success.

been feeling crappy all around lately-- even the walks aren't cutting it so i got up this morning for a quick early run and that helped. i treated myself to a cappuccino this morning as i ran some errands. i'm still not done. need a couple more things i'll get later on tonight.

seriously, i can't stop buying food again. i wanted cheesy crust pizza so i bought the frozen kind, cut it up and put it in a large freezer bag. i also bought boneless sole fillets, a pack of them for $10 so then of course i had to buy tartar sauce to go with it. :P

it's normal to buy food, but have never bought this much when i wasn't b/p let alone condiments like this but that's because i was never much of a condiments person just because i didn't really think about it. i've grown in my cooking so much :) i was more like stocking up on club packs of chicken thighs and things that i liked but always lacked variety. i've just got so much now. it's awesome. and i like that it lasts me. "normal" people will go through that pizza box with a friend or maybe by themselves idk like in one sitting whereas i know that it will last me quite a while, same with the mini muffins i bought. i'm definitely not saving money though because of all these condiments i'm purchasing, plus digestive aids, electrolytes... i am not saving money.

i had to return the Ardenes clothing because the flared pants are way too long. i should've just ordered them from Aerie because they have my size in short, so you can order the length that's suitable for my size. i also didn't like the sweater. i'm just gonna get my Aerie and Lululemon like i want lol. i've got 2 more items from Ardenes in transit and i'll see if i like those.

but really, my next big shopping trip will be value village because i've 60% off due to my big donations :) so that'll be cool. i'll do that next semester i think when i need warmer clothes. i'm good for winter atm. of course i purchased a bunch of shorts when i got to omaha but they were already oversized. some are so ridiculously big that it doesn't even look good with a belt, but some can hang on my hips though instead of my waist so it can actually look kinda nice, so i'll keep them for now.

the hips thing is like so hard for me to grasp lol because i don't think i ever really had big hips. i think i was just bloated. i never had big hips and i think that my hips now definitely grew but idk, i guess time will tell. i believe that they did, alongside my legs and like every other body part. nah it's so weird and icky how growing just like doesn't stop because i swear i grew after age 25. when i was like 20, i could still fit into kids shoes and obviously i can't now. i think someone said online that a lot of undergrads must have eating disorders because they're so small and it's like nahhhh i think they're just still growing. it's not abnormal to look like that. it's the mid 20s that you see change everywhere.... it's true that some are bigger from a younger age and so it seems they don't change very much. but most people get bigger later on just because that's how it works. but yeah, it still feels very hard to tell with me because i have definitely increased in muscle mass over the years and lost fat but the water retention that i go through displays a different story. it's impossible to tell until that's lost/ or managed. that's why i take a water pill daily now. i don't know what difference that makes but when i do actually get healthcare, i know for a fact that i should be prescribed diuretics for my kidney disorder because the fluctuations are absolutely insane for me and i'm glad it was discovered because it never made sense to me. i know myself and i just don't eat that much and that consistently to warrant such a massive increase on the scale especially if you take my gut issues into account. many, many times i will not be consistent because my stomach just doesn't let that happen, so it's like, in light of that, it's even more nonsensical. but at least i know some extent of it and i can try and prevent it the way i know how. if i could eat freely, i would, but it always hurts to. and now that i feel that i have evidence of such, it's like i can't keep making the same mistakes. some people just can't eat that much without pharmaceuticals. and i don't want to overexercise to be able to eat that much physically because the portions are still too big and it will be very bad when i stop because no one can sustain overexertion forever, not to mention with health issues. so i'm pretty confident that i now have the awareness and the ability to apply changes that will prolong this 'way of life' if you will. it's really unfortunate the amount of suffering that i had to go through to reach this point and when i think about it, it's just like, it's so crazy to me because if the goal was enduring anorexia, why didn't you just treat the real problem earlier so i could've gotten here quicker? make it make sense...... so that's been my thought process recently. but anyway, it all lead me to this moment, so. unfortunately the only way for most of us to learn is to go through with it. and most adolescents who go through this enduring anorexia, upon reflection, it just looks like these parents have a lot to do with keeping their kids sick. some kids, they know nothing about cico. i didn't even have the capacity to learn that until i was 25. so like, i don't even think these kids really had that much knowledge or awareness. so essentially, adult AN is an entirely different wavelength. i just feel like my life has been a waste and i'm really insecure about my age. i know that i'm young but also like, my biological clock, you know. and it's just sad to me because i don't have the same life as some of the others and i think a lot of that is because of having been unwell past mid adolescent age but that's just a guess.

being aware of everything is definitely creating some of the best enduring anorexics. that's what happens when you realize nobody's fighting with you, but against you. we all operate from the lens of people helping us to fight our demons, that fighting the demon is the goal. apparently, it's not.

With its intuitive design and engaging gameplay, the platform allows players to dive into the world of poker while refining their strategies. This article will explore the basic gameplay mechanics on Like777 and provide essential strategies to help you increase your chances of winning.

Gameplay Overview

Poker on Like777 offers a wide selection of game variants, with Texas Hold'em and Omaha being among the most popular. These games are easy to learn yet require strategic thinking to master, making them suitable for both casual players and serious competitors. In Texas Hold'em, players are dealt two private cards and must combine them with five community cards to form the best hand possible. Omaha follows a similar structure, but players receive four private cards, making the strategy more complex.

Like777 also hosts regular poker tournaments, where players can compete for prizes and sharpen their skills in a more competitive environment. Whether you're playing cash games or tournaments, the core mechanics remain the same: knowing when to bet, raise, or fold is essential to outsmarting your opponents.

Winning Strategies

To succeed in poker on Like777, it's crucial to develop a well-rounded strategy. Here are some tips to help you improve your chances of winning:

Understand Hand Rankings: The first step to mastering poker is learning the hand rankings. Knowing which hands are stronger than others will help you make better decisions during the game. For example, a flush beats a straight, and a full house beats both.

Play Tight but Aggressive: A common strategy for beginners is to play tight, which means being selective with the hands you choose to play. However, once you decide to play a hand, be aggressive with your bets. This puts pressure on your opponents and increases your chances of winning big pots.

Pay Attention to Position: In poker, your position at the table is crucial. Players who act later in a hand have more information about their opponents' moves, allowing them to make better decisions. When you're in a strong position, you can bluff more effectively or make value bets.

Bluff Wisely: Bluffing is an essential part of poker, but it should be used carefully. A well-timed bluff can help you win hands even when you don’t have the best cards. However, over-bluffing can make you predictable and lead to losses. Use bluffing strategically based on your opponents' tendencies and the situation.

Practice Bankroll Management: Managing your bankroll is key to long-term success in poker. Set limits on how much you're willing to risk and stick to them. This ensures that you can continue playing without losing more than you can afford.

Conclusion

Like777 offers an engaging platform for poker enthusiasts looking to enjoy their favorite game while honing their skills. By understanding the gameplay mechanics and applying smart strategies like playing tight-aggressive and managing your bankroll, you can increase your chances of success. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, Like777 provides an exciting and rewarding environment for poker lovers.

JUNE 6, 1944 - 80TH ANNIVERSAY OF D-DAY - NEVER FORGET! It is my privilege and honor to share this post from Vets on Duty (VOD) with you: "Friends, Today marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day. We want to share with you the story of one of those heroes who is gone, but certainly not forgotten. Sergeant Frank Peregory of the 116th Infantry Regiment, 29th Infantry Division, was a native of Virginia. He landed on Omaha Bach amidst the full chaos and fury of battle. The beach was littered with the bodies of young Americans and the beachhead was under relentless fire from entrenched German positions. Sergeant Peregory's unit suffered heavy losses from German machine gun and artillery fire. Sergeant Peregory fought hard and was one of the lucky few who made it off the beach. Days of hard fighting continued, with Nazi counterattacks and slow American progress through dense hedgerows. His unit came under intense enemy fire and scattered under the withering assault. Undeterred, he joined with a nearby formation of Army Rangers. Together they advanced towards the French town of Grandcamp, just a few kilometers from the invasion site. The town was part of Hitler's "Atlantic Wall" and was littered with hardened bunkers and prepared defensive positions. The town was so close to Omaha that allied planners considered it part of the beachhead. Peregory kept his head and spotted an entrenchment that he knew would lead him to the bunker. He wagered that he could use that entrenchment to open the door for his beleaguered comrades. Knowing full well the danger, Peregory volunteered for a solo assault. He understood that neutralizing the bunker was crucial for the advance. Armed with grenades and his rifle, Peregory crawled through mud and sand, avoiding detection. He reached the bunker unmolested and hurled grenades through the apertures. The explosions silenced several machine guns, but the bunker still swelled with German soldiers. Undeterred, Peregory stormed the entrance and engaged a superior enemy force in close-quarters combat with his bayonet. His boldness paid off. Peregory captured or killed the entire garrison, securing the position for the advancing American troops. His actions not only saved countless lives but also allowed friendly units to pour through the German defenses, which broke under the fresh assault. Six days later, Sergeant Frank Peregory was killed in combat. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. Today, we ask our friends to take a moment and remember men like Sergeant Peregory, who exemplified the courage and determination of all those who braved the beaches of Normandy. We remember these heroes. We honor their service and sacrifice. And we recommit ourselves doing our duty every day to be worthy of freedoms the Greatest Generation so nobly advanced.
