Hi all one of bookies friends here.
Everyone needs to calm down
Look at the facts.
Video- showed her without ANY ring a lot
Video-could he be anymore obvious with his left
hand.
Everytime he does or has something come out she does something. This time she shot herself in the hand twice.
And no I no longer find Chris attractive. If your team real i dont care. I just dont like seeing my friends on here who are team or get all worked up bwcause its nothing. It is for nothing we've, proven its fake.
How many holes can you put into a hot air balloon before it can't fly anymore?
To the GP (genaral public) they are married so right after all it was exposed the rings are fake. teams are gunna have to do or try and do clean up for a while. We knew this was going to happen. I expect to see shit about one flying here or the other flying there or they both fly to meet each other. I mean how many roumers in 2 days can start about who is where? It just
makes it look worse and more comical. A real couple wouldnt do damage control at all. Just because a website publishes an article doesn't mean it's a website that reports news or the truth. Remember People mag, US weekly etc is are still mags they use click bait. Don't freak out everytime you hear a rumor that she flew here or did this or that . The fact is its been de bunked disproven if they choose to continue on with the PR BS thats on them a lot of fans are not playing along any more. Im.not playjng along anymore im done with it. I saw a post in instagram that sums everything us well it said
"I am on team PR. But if he wants people
to believe he's with her, then we should
just leave him to it. It's true he owes
us nothing but we also don't owe him
our support anymore."
What point is there to get upset or nervous or anxious over something just because there a rumor about a plane ride. If you wanna believe theres a plane ride maybe its to sign a new contract that this shit is over.
You know its fake i know its fake. And you know what they showed they were gifts from cartier. Maybe her team would shse poney up the money to get cz versions. Frankly it would be even funnier.
We dont owe chris anything.
If you feel silly or stupid or being duped by thibking he was a better man than he is dont be, everyone was. It only goes to show the man could've had awards by now if he picked better scripts
Clean up is gunna happen. WE HAVE SEEN IT. the less you play into it the faster itll be over with.
But dont let this distract you or upset you from a joyus holiday season or take away any happiness you're experiencing or could be experiencing. Focus on something positive and happy. At the very least i saw a blog with a debate about who qas hotter Sam or Castiel. Now THAT is some shit worth arguing about. Not an airheaded Nazi
Thank you, my dear An🫶n.
Honestly, this is a serious wakeup call to a lot. That ring debacle/exposure is something to note, and it could be the sign to many of being done.
And if they aren't, well, I'm happy to partially become the blog that becomes a nostalgic stop for old Chris, Chris Evans before he was a shit person in a shit relationship with a shit person, and Chris Evans Characters Appreciation and absolute SIMPING!!! Oh, and the occasional Albitch hate post, because I still hate her 😆
I'm even thinking it's time to add more Fandoms to my roster. Marvel characters are high on that list. So are book discussions, because I am enjoying that as well 😁
We'll see. The world is my oyster now, especially with that big bomb that fell into our laps, as well as the fact I'm on break and about to undergo the busiest month of my life!!!
It's going to be filled with holiday cheer, family love, Christmas shopping, reconnecting with everyone, and focusing on improving the one love that came back a few months ago, after years... Writing 😊
So, my beautiful weirdos, can we PLEASE take steps towards something new? I think we could use some respite after months, maybe even years of PR Debunking Hell... 🫶
Also, there are certain topics that I don't want to be discussed on here. Because I don't feel comfortable being in the middle of any debate whatsoever (you can ask my dearest friends on here, they know I hate politics and avoid discussing, and eventually debating it, as much as possible). Until my next post, Beloveds 🤗
#An🫶n asks#thank you!#booky reacts#chris evans#chris evans fandom#still a place to hate Albitch.#booky answers#on to new horizons#Happy 25 Days Before Christmas to those who celebrate it Bitchez!!!!#Happy Hanukkah as well... don't know when but figured#I should embrace different cultures on here 😁#DON'T AT ME ABOUT THE WAR EITHER

Batman: Surf’s Up, Jokers Under! Review (The Batman Tie In/Mars Birthday Special!)
Hello all you happy batpeople! And welcome to a special two fer as this is both my birthday present for my good friend Mars, one of my best friends since middle school and my super special tie-in to the gritty, serial killer mystery reboot, The Batman! Could I have gotten them to go with say a riddler episode? Could I have just done an episode of The Batman instead? Yes. Would I have?
This is easily one of the dumbest things i’ve done on this blog and I stand by it, as did Mars when I suggested holding back his birthday review just so I could do this when I realized ��Oh yeah the Batman comes out next month”.
It’s been far too long since I watched Adam West Batman. One of the biggest slices of camp to ever exist, wears that on it’s sleeve and as such is throughly enjoyable. It put Batman back on top and gave Adam West a career parodying himself for the rest of his glorious life. And out of all the episodes this stands out as one of the most memorably nuts in a series that prided itself on being as goofy and comic booky as humanly possible. I PROUDLY own a funko from this one (Sadly never got the joker one before it became incredibly expensive but hey), and i’m proud to present that time Joker tried to dominate the world with surfing and batman put on board shorts. So all you ho dad’s join me under the cut for Surf’s Up, Joker’s Under!
We begin our tale at Gotham Point, where the surf lingo is as thick as the
We meet the local surf champ whose name i’ve forgot so i’ll call him hairy joe, as he has more bodyhair than me. I’d show a comparison shot, but that’d be illegal in 30 states and 20 countries. Hairy Joe is dating Barbra Gordon, aka Batgirl though you’d hardly know it as she spends most of the episode out of costume and thus unreconizable. See in this show barbra was a natural brunette, instead of her usual red in the comics (Despite being based on the show version, weird ain’t it). Combine that with her natural 60′s behive and her doting over this pile of hair, sweat and gristle and you have me, a fan of the feisty, super smart, badass Oracle/Batgirl babs of present day utterly disapointed but unsuprised at this version. I guess we all gotta start somewhere.
But a sinister plot is affot as The Joker arrives, played by good old Ceaser Romero who wonderfuly embodies the silver age joker: Goofy, laughy and utterly comitted to corny jokes, int his case his henchman being hang ten and riptide. That said his scheme this episode is entirely joke unrelated but we’ll get to that. He calls his henchman undine, our requisite bit of fanservice, on his hot dog phone, and she picks it up and puts it near her mouth.
The Joker sets his sinister plan into motion at the Hang Ten, the local surf hangout by throwing the owner, Hot Dog Harrigan, into the garbage where he belongs, then having Undyne lure hairy joe up there with a phone call... and fills the phone with gas. Barbra happens to notice the green haired known criminal kidnapping her boyfriend in his car because shockingly, the man with clown makeup plastered over his mustache who just threw a human person in the garbage for giggles is not subtle.
So since she can’t batgirl up since Undyne is there and might notice, she instead phones her dad to phone Batman. So Batman and Robin BATCOPTER their way there in case you needed a reminder batman was the one percent, he just.. casually Batcopters instead of taking the fucking car. I mean the car is atomic so it’s not MUCH better for the envinronment but still.
So while their Batcoptering Joker reveals his evil plan and it’s just... you have to hear it. Okay so his plan is to use his Surfing Experience and Ability Transferometer and Vigor Reverser to take Harry Joe’s surfing skills and youthful stamina so he can become king of the surf. Now you may be thinking this is some big joke or something you know because it’s in the name. But no, this is a genunie plan to become king of the surfers as Gotham is holding the world surfing championships, and then use the idolation of the young people to create a violence gang and take over the gotham then the world.
Over the past few days binging Miraculous Ladybug with my good friend @jess-the-vampire I have seen plans to cook a teenager into soup, stalk a teenage party in the hopes it’ll give you someone to make into a teddy bear themed super villian, and seen a man get turned into a supervillian because a teenager challenged his panther to a race.. and the Joker’s plan is still the most gloriously insane thing i’ve seen all week. He’s going to all this trouble just on the HOPE it’ll make him enough of a cult figure to create a violence gang.. and later once he has gained his ablility it turns out.. IT WORKS. As Batman and Robin arrive there’s a green haired band singing his praises. And we later find out these AREN’T minons, these are just casual surfing fans who think he’s groovy. It’d be enough if he thought this stupid plan would work with no logistics, that’ dbe hilarous.. but what makes it truly legendary is that it would actually work in this universe. God I love this show.
So Batman and Robin arrive to meet with Gordon and Chief O’Hara, the show’s resident irish cop sterotype and Gordon’s bumbling sidekick. And the latter two’s outfits are.... well their comedic gold, and intentional comedic gold at that.
Seriously it’s a joke they made.. that perfectly lands. Just look at them. Now them trading slang as aged like sidewalk mayo, 39.99 at my store, 30 with promo code “THISWILLGIVEYOUGOUT”, but them in those outfits.. that’s truly timeless. Epsecially o’hara’s back to the future part 2 sunglasses.
Batman and Robin are rejected by the locals for being squares and not wearing shorts.... yet the two old men are not only accepted but ONLY Undyne sees anything supscious about them. I’m not kidding. They later inflitrate a meeting that’s just the joker bragging about his surfing and no one notices, with the joker ONLY getting who they are when theyt ake off the disgusies. I.. I don’t even have to write any jokes for that. This show is fucking genius.
Despite being there hours they both got nothing so it’s TO THE BATCAVE to figure out something while Undyne calls to warn the joker. But being a super villian he WANTS Batman to come to him so he can set a trap. But first batman has to consult his top of the line crime computer which spits out a picture of ten toes.
Turns out it’s not batman’s fetish but a clue to go to the ten toes surf board factory that’s been closed. So away they go. But OH NO the joker’s ready for them with poisoness blowfish darts and they can’t get to seawater in time. So we get our mid-episode cliffhanger, since unlike the first two seasons this ain’t a two parter.. and it is sublime. So the Joker’s plan is to MAKE THEM INTO SURFBOARDS. Which sounds like he’s going to pulp them for it but really is just his two minons wipe out and hang ten, because of course they are, COVERING THEM IN RESIN. that’s.. seriously the plan. Oh and how they escape is better.. THEY EXPLODE THEIR WAYS OUT. Batman and Robin are immune to explosions. This is canon now.
What follows is Batmana nd Joker, in goofy shorts, on surf boards doing the goofiest gestures while people narrate their doing surfing moves. It is one of the greatest moments in television history and desreves to be seen with your eyes.
youtube
This.. is... pure.. art.
Also Batman has to use the bat shark replelant, lest you thought that was a joke someone made up. No he really has that and really uses it not once but twice, as he also more famously used it in the movie. And not only that he gets EXTRA POINTS for it. I”m not making this up. JOker ends up loosing because he only won in style, but not in surfing despite doing the exact same goofy shit as batman on a surf board. ALL HAIL BATMAN, KING OF THE BEACH.
So soon afterwords our two officers find Hot Dog in the trash can, as O’Hara thought he heard a persona nd Gordon assumed it was the wind. I will remind you he’s been in there for a whole day likely eating stale hot dogs to surivive. THe irony was not lost on Hot Dog Harridan nor the officers. So Joker cheeses it and we get our obligtory corny fight scene with Batgirl FINALLY showing up. It’s as glorious as it sounds complete with outloud sound effects and two nut shots with paddles. I’m not kidding, I rewound the episode JUST to make sure I wasn’t just projecting. batman hits a guy in the nuts with a paddle and so does batgirl. This may be the finest day of my career.
So our heroe win, the bad guys are carted away and hairy joe gets his power back. All’s well. Also there’s a robbery in london. So there’s that
Final Thoughts:
This episode is pure magic. It’s the best kind of camp and I highly recommend you watch it. IT’s free on tubi. While this show ha sa bad reputation it’s the fun kind of goofy, never having taken itself seriously and even with the grim turn batman’s largely taken, it’s still okay to enjoy a version whose just pure fun, camp and everything that makes superheroes great. Thanks for reading and a happiest belated birthday to one of the finest persons i’ve ever known. I love you mars, your like a brother to me and I wish you a million more happy birthdays.

My father is a very loving, but strict kind of person. He taught me from an early age to have respect toward Dominants, and much more important, to earn respect as a Switch.

A rose in London - Sherlock Holmes
Chapter 7 - Arrested
The officers moved in quickly, promptly arresting John and Sherlock on sight. You had been questioned and witnessing kept you out of it, seeming as you really hadn't done anything at all. You tried to explain what had happened, but no one was taking any notice. You watched the two men be whisked away, Sherlock looking your way before he lost sight of you.
You sighed, annoyed.
You spent all night awake worried for the two. You needed to go and help them, bail them out, anything. You couldn't rest.
Meanwhile, John and Sherlock were bickering in the yard, surrounded by other problematic people who had been arrested. John complained about his lack of sleep and the fact they he missed his appointment with Mary and her family, he was annoyed that Sherlock wasn't at all fazed by this. He concluded he was going mad and Sherlock was the cause of it. Why else would he go along with everything? Running around with Sherlock was bound to get him into trouble. He couldn't believe he hadn't seen this before.
"You haven't complained about my methods before." Sherlock looked at him, not at all amused by John's wittering. At this point it sounded more like an excuse for John to have a reason for things turning out this way.
"I'm not complaining."
"You're not?" Sherlock arched a brow. "What do you call this then?"
"How am I complaining?" John frowned. "I never complain, when do I complain about you practising the violin at three in the morning? Or your mess? Your general lack of hygiene! Or the fact you steal my clothes? When do I complain about you setting fire to my rooms?"
"Our rooms."
"The rooms. When do I complain that you experiment on my dog?" John continued.
"Our dog."
"On THE dog!"
"He's our dog."
"On THE DOG. Where I do take issue is your campaign to sabotage my relationship with Mary." John lowered his voice once again.
Sherlock fell silent for a moment, then muttered, "I understand."
"Do you?"
"I do."
"I don't think you do." John narrowed his gaze at him, not at all convinced with the words he was saying. How could Sherlock understand? His brain didn't work like any other. It seemed to John that Sherlock was just saying what he thought he wanted to hear, which really didn't the situation any better at all.
"You're overtired."
"Yes."
"You're feeling a bit sensitive.
"I'm not sensitive." John defended.
"What you need is rest. My brother, Mycroft, has a small estate near Chestershire. Beautiful grounds. There's a folly. We could throw a lamb on the spit." Sherlock suggested.
"We? Holmes, if I were to go to the country, it would be with my future wife."
"Well, I say if we must."
"No, not YOU." John was getting agitated again. "Mary and I. You are not-"
"What? Invited?" Sherlock's voice raised. "Why would I not be invited to my own brother's country home, Watson? Now you're not making any sense."
"No! You're not human!" John growled. "God, I feel so sorry for Y/N." He muttered, rubbing at his eyes.
"Whatever for?"
"Oh, come on, Holmes. I have noticed, you know." John looked at him, bored was the expression on his face. Sherlock couldn't honestly believe his best friend wouldn't have noticed, could he? Surely, Sherlock knew.
"Know what?" Sherlock avoided eye contact.
"You fancy her. I told her you fancied her. She seemed interested, now I realise that was a mistake." John sighed.
"You told her I fancied her? Why would you do that?" Sherlock asked quickly. His mind was racing away trying to figure the logic in John's words.
"Because you do?" John shook his head. "Honestly, old boy, you can be really blind when it comes to a person's feeling, even your own."
"Perhaps it's true I have great interest in your dear friend. You were the one who refused to let me meet her. For a whole year she had come and gone from our flat and I only ever heard her voice through the door, and saw her when she walked down the street." Sherlock stared at nothing in particular ahead of him. "I still don't see what she has to do with anything."
"Because if her feelings turn into something more, she will be the one who will have to deal with you, your mess, your comments, your outbursts." John gave a deep sigh. "She doesn't deserve that. You don't deserve her."
"Quite right." Sherlock agreed, far too quickly for John's taste.
"You agree?"
"Yes." Sherlock looked him in the eye. "I'm not even worthy to be in her presence, yet she has spent the last two days in my company. An honour on my part."
John was speechless. Sherlock felt unworthy of you.
"John Watson!"
"Yes."
"Your bail's been posted." The officer said.
Mary stood on the other side of the fence waiting for him. She smiled when he turned around. John made his way over to her, Sherlock tried to follow him out, but the gate was closed again.
"Just Watson." The officer said, smiling at Sherlock.
The detective turned around to see a group of guys staring at him.
"I hope you get bailed by breakfast." The biggest of the three men said. "The boys are getting hungry."
An hour later Lestrade comes storming in. A crowd had formed in the middle, he had to push his way in. He found Sherlock sitting with the big man who had threatened him. He was telling jokes.
"You're out." Lestrade said, interrupting them.
"Until next time." Sherlock shook the man's hand.
"Always a pleasure, Mr. Holmes."
"Thank heaven you're here, Lestrade." Sherlock said, walking with the inspector. "I almost ran out of jokes."
"You know in another life, you would have made an excellent criminal." Lestrade told him. "Anyway, don't thank me." He gestured to you who had been waiting for them.
"And you an excellent policeman." Sherlock muttered to him, walking over to you. "You came?"
"Of course I did. I was on my way here when I bumped into Lestrade. I explained everything to him, he said he would help me. Though, he couldn't understand why I would want to help you. Turns out someone beat me to the bailing part." You glanced at the Inspector. "I'm glad to see you're alright."
"I'm fine." Sherlock couldn't help but smile. "All the better for seeing you."
You smiled softly at him and found yourself blushing. Gosh, your cheeks felt warm all of a sudden. Sherlock reached up and gently caressed your cheek with his fingers, a soft chuckle rumbled through his chest.
A proud feeling came over him at the idea he made you blush. He chose to ignore everything John said earlier. Yes, he still felt unworthy of being in your company, but he wanted nothing more.
"Please tell me you have answers." Lestrade pushed a newspaper between you both, pressing it against Sherlock's chest. The detective took it and looked at it properly.
"All in good time, Lestrade."
'LONDON IN TERROR' was the headline.
"All in good time? Is this some parlour game where we have to guess what you're thinking?" Lestrade asked.
'BLACKWOOD LIVES AND THE DEVIL WALKS WITH HIM' was sub-headed underneath.
You glanced up at Sherlock, who met your gaze.
"I have a public in frenzy out there, now if you don't fill me in, I'll have you in there playing Victoria Albert quicker than a bookies runner."
Sherlock turned his gaze to angry man beside him.
"Now clean up and make yourself presentable." He handed Sherlock a handkerchief.
"For whom?" Sherlock asked.
"Friends in high places. They're the ones who bailed you out." Lestrade led you both to a carriage. Sherlock blew his nose, quite terribly, into the handkerchief, then offered it back. Lestrade just walked away.
You both climbed into the carriage, Sherlock helping you in, and found another man sitting across from you.
"I'm sincerely sorry to inconvenience you, but I'll have to put these on you." He covered your heads.
Scared, you reached for Sherlock's hand. He wrapped his fingers around your small hand and squeezed it gently. You were afraid and we do his best to comfort you in this moment. It was strange to him. That's all he wanted to do, comfort you.

Hello, again, Tumblr
It is none other than your unfriendly neighborhood melotmother, formally known as Darylsdckson—which would have never been changed, except that I haven’t seen a single episode since season 6, and it didn’t feel right to make people associate me with The Walking Dead anymore, like I’m still a fan. (Suck my big toe ruining the show, Gimple. Your name is a combination of goon and pimple. Or garbage and pimple. gargoyle and pimple. Your name alone should have disqualified you from showrunnerdom. But I digress.)
This is my booklr. I’m hoping to get into the book reviewing scene, so I can have access to some of those sweet, sweet goddamn ARCs that all the cool kids with popular book blogs and decent followings get. I salivate with equal parts envy and lust every time I see a post with a yet-to-be-released-book in someone’s possession. I’m gonna do whatever I need to, to get those shits into my hot little hands.
Anyway, most of the reviews here will cover whatever I’m currently reading, but if you would like me to review something for some reason or another, I’ll gladly give my take on it. Everything will be as short as I can make it, you know, without making it look like I didn’t even to read it. Think: A paragraph. Think: you could probably read it while you’re driving and not plow through a storefront, maiming several pedestrians. (Disclaimer: DON’T LOOK AT YOUR PHONE AND DRIVE, SIMPLE BITCH. I SAID “PROBABLY”. THOSE AREN’T GOOD ODDS. Probably.) I’m not going to write your book report for you. Idk about you guys, but when people basically write the entire description of the book I just read in their review, the same one I can find on the inside cover or the back, I want to fight them in their own front yard. Brevity is the name of the game, folks—as is depravity. Go forth now. This is your call to duty. Storm your libraries, spend too much goddamn money on your Kindle and forget about that light bill (disclaimer: pay your bills), hit up your local bookstores, your Walmarts, and frighten your republican family members with your big, meaty brains filled with all that smarty, fancy-pants liberal communist, socialist propaganda that is found in literally every book outside of the Good Book.
This one:
Your first assignment is to get ostracized and disowned from your conservative communities and then come talk booky to me.

Insider Infiltration
New Post has been published on https://autotraffixpro.app/allenmendezsr/insider-infiltration/
Insider Infiltration
Buy Now
Find Out What’s Really Going On Behind Closed Doors and Place the Same Bets as the Pros!
Hi there,
If you’re reading this, it’s probably because your betting profits have slowed, plateaued, or perhaps you were never making any decent money to begin with…
So now you’re looking for a change; some way to turn your luck around, to boost your betting bank and to make a nice chunk of change during these uncertain times.
Well, I have exactly what you’re looking for.
With my precise method, you can bet like an industry pro with daily tips that are based upon the most up to date and top secret insider information.
And with said bets, you can easily make upwards of £10,000 per month from horse racing.
And it doesn’t matter who you are; whether you’re a student, full time employed, retired, a seasoned punter or you’re completely new to betting, as absolutely anyone can make killing with daily horse racing selections from Insider Infiltration.
In just a few clicks, you will be in receipt of daily tips that will see you £2,500 better off THIS WEEK!
And let’s be honest – it’s about time you had an extra few grand regularly topping up your bank account…
Pay your bills, wipe your debts, treat yourself to a few luxuries… You could even splash out on a new car!
And while you’re at it, why not quit your day job?
There’s no point in slaving away for some ungrateful boss when you’re earning six figures annually, with ease, from just 10 minutes of betting each morning!!
But before we go any further, let me be straight with you for a moment…
I am not your usual tipster.
I’m not about to tell you that I’m some math genius who’s come up with an incredible algorithm, nor am I claiming to be some retired jockey, former trainer or big industry king pin.
What I am, is an opportunist.
When I see a chance to make money, I go for it. And who can blame me for that?
My name’s Paul, I’m for the West Midlands and I’ve always had ‘the gift of the gab’.
As a kid, I was liked by everyone at school. I could move from group to group seamlessly, and I could always convince the other kids to do what I wanted them to. Every scenario on the playground would play out in my favour.
And as I got older, I put my people skills to better use – making money and picking up girls!
I could charm just about every person I met.
I made great tips as a barman, excellent commissions as a door to door salesman, and I even made a sizable chunk of change playing poker with anyone brave enough to challenge me.
But after a while, I decided that I needed to aim higher, much higher. And that’s when I turned my attention to horse racing.
Growing up, my father loved the nags. He wasn’t a professional punter, but he’d head over to our local race track most Saturdays, and on occasion, I’d join him. That’s when I began to realise just how much money there is in horse racing… And I wanted a piece of that action.
When I was in my mid-twenties, I began to devise a plan. I wanted to infiltrate one of the innermost circles of the equestrian industry, and find out how the hot shots really make their money.
I did my research, identified who the key players were and I dug into their backgrounds. I made mental notes of what they liked, didn’t like, and prepared to mould my persona accordingly.
Eventually, one sunny afternoon in Autumn, I made my first moves. Introducing myself as a friend of a friend of someone important, saying I was new in town.
With my charm and charisma, I wormed my way in easily. It was almost laughable.
I had infiltrated the insiders.
Fast forward two years and I’ve been invited to no end of private dinner parties, I’ve been on a ‘lads’ holiday to Prague with a famous jockey and a few other industry pros, and I’m even the godfather to a horse breeder’s son!
But the craziest part of all is, I can’t stand a one of them!
I hate the snobbery, the pretentiousness and the way they scoff at the poor.
And it turns out, the whole system is rigged. They’re all in each other’s back pockets and make racing as profitable for their own tight-knit group as possible. To hell with the average punter!
Who cares if you’re behind on rent when Geoffrey wants a new Porsche?
Frequently, races are fixed. And because of this, I know the outcome of a race way ahead of time, and can therefore place my bets accordingly.
With just the tipoffs I overheard in that circles, I was able to make an average of £2,500 from horse racing, every single week!
And by doing no more than spending 10 minutes on my phone. I could do that in the back of an Uber, or even before I got out of bed!
It was so easy, it was almost unbelievable.
It felt like playing the lottery when I already knew the numbers.
It was like printing money!!
For months I splashed out, buying clothes, gadgets and a new car. And I moved out of my small flat and into my dream house!
But eventually the parties, the women and the flashy things I bought, all came to feel shallow. And worst of all, I’D BECOME ONE OF THEM.
I was using my position of newly found power to make a fortune, while the average punter was losing his hard earned wages, playing a game that was fixed against him!
And so, I decided to do what was right.
That’s when I created Insider Infiltration. A tipping service that would level the playing fields for the average Joe Blogs.
I want YOU to have the same incredible opportunity to make money from horse racing as I have.
Growing up, my dad squandered away our savings at the bookies. And his losing streak eventually cost him his marriage, and ruined my childhood.
If only he’d have known then what I know now.
I don’t want you to repeat the mistakes of every other punter out there who’s betting blind.
And so from today I am going to send you the daily bets that cannot lose!
I still move in those insider circles. I get ALL of the most up to date race information. I know which races are fixed and which horses are going to win, at least 85% of the time.
And so, if you actually want to make some serious money from betting, you need to sign up to Insider Infiltration right now and see for yourself just how beneficial an insider advantage can be.
“I always had my suspicions that horse racing was fixed, now this proves it. Finally, after years of disappointment, my win rate has more than quadrupled with Paul’s tips. Cheers mate”
Gaz Parker, Nottingham.
“I’ve wasted my time and money on no end of nonsense systems and so called tipping services over the years and I am thrilled to have finally found one that actually pays off! I’ve made £4,667 in the past two weeks alone!! Thanks Paul”
Denise Ward, Grimsby.
“Excellent service! I’ve been following Simon’s advice to the letter for two months and I’ve made over £20k! I’m absolutely chuffed! That’s the car and summer holiday sorted. Insider Infiltration gets a 10/10 from me”
Mike Bell, London.
And now YOU can try Insider Infiltration yourself for the unbelievably low price of just £26.99 That price is an incredible bargain for tips that are based upon TOP SECRET insider information. Tips that will see you £120,000 better off this year!! You’d have to be MAD to pass up an offer like this…
60 Day Money Back Guarantee
AND your purchase will be protected by a 60 Day Satisfaction Guarantee.
So you have absolutely nothing to lose.
This is a 100% risk free transaction
However, since this is entirely new territory for me, I’m only going to be taking on a handful of new members at this time, so as not to overwhelm myself.
And so, if you would like to join me and make £10k this month and every month from here on out, all you have to do is sign up on this page right now, and we can get started.
Hesitation could mean losing your place to another more eager punter.
I know you’ve been seeking an opportunity to turn your luck around and NOW is the time to act!
You deserve this.
Do it NOW.
And trust me, I won’t let you down.
Best regards,
Paul

Bad Beets Ch. 2 (11/11-11/17)
Welcome back to the Bad Beets Blog! If you’re a returning reader, I am glad that you found some enjoyment in my gambling misery last week. If you are a new reader: Ahoy, my name is Jonah and I am the captain of this degenerate ship. This blog is for your entertainment and my mental health. It allows me to rant about how I am the most unlucky sports gambler in the world, instead of needing to pay for a therapist. Let’s jump right in!
Usually, I start my blogs with Bad Beets that happen chronologically throughout the week, but this next Beet might be one of the worst ones I have ever had in my entire life, and for that reason, it gets the top slot.
11/17/19
League: NFL
Bet: Bears 1Q TT over 0.5 (Even)
Units: 4.2 to win 4.2
The Bears traveled to Los Angeles to take on the Rams this past Sunday in a must-win game to keep their season alive. I am from Chicago and come from a family of Bears fans. My 88-year-old grandmother watches every game.
The Bears have struggled mightily on offense this season, ranking in the bottom third of the league in seemingly every offensive metric due to the poor play of Mitch TruBUSTsky and the inept play-calling of Matt Nagy. Vegas was confident that these first-half offensive woes would continue for the Bears against the strong Rams defense, setting their 1Q TT over at just 0.5 points. As bad as the Bears have been, scoring just 1 single point in the first quarter seemed like something they might be able to accomplish. I just needed one measly field goal in the 1Q and I am cashing in on my bet.
The Bears started with the ball on offense, and they didn’t look half bad. They put together a decent drive and found themselves in field goal range just 3 minutes into the game. Eddie Piniero jogged onto the field on 4th down and stepped up to kick a 46-yard field goal. After Cody Parkey’s double-doink that knocked the Bears out of the playoffs last season, Bears fans have no trust in kickers. For no reason at all, I was feeling mighty confident that Piniero was going to drill this FG and it would be the easiest bet I was ever going to cash.
WIDE LEFT. FUCK. Okay well, it’s a long quarter and that drive only took a few minutes so there was still plenty of time left to get the ball back and drive down the field. The ensuing Rams possession, Todd Gurley coughed up the football on the first play of the drive, giving the ball right back to the Bears in immediate field goal range. Okay. I’m feeling great about my bet again. The Bears offense stalls almost instantly, leaving the ball on the field at the 30-yard line on 4th and 10. I was looking forward to seeing Piniero jog back onto the field for a second time to try to redeem himself, but MATT FUCKING NAGY DECIDED HE WOULD RATHER HAVE MITCH TRY TO CONVERT A 4TH AND 10 THROUGH THE AIR INSTEAD OF TRY FOR 3 POINTS AS IF THAT WAS SOMEHOW MORE LIKELY THAN EDDY DRILLING THE FIELD GOAL.
Mitch throws an incomplete pass that gets knocked out of Taylor Gabriel’s hands, and the Bears turn the ball over on downs on the Rams 30-yard line. At this point, there are still about 8 minutes remaining in the first quarter, so although my bet was not looking great, it was still alive. The Bears get the ball back with about 5 minutes left in the quarter, and the offense somehow managed to drive the ball back into field-goal range. Naturally, their offense couldn’t move the ball any further into Rams territory, getting stopped on 3rd down where? You guessed it. The Rams 30-yard line. This time Nagy decides to give Piniero another shot at it. Eddy jogs back onto the field from almost the exact same spot he kicked his first field goal. There’s no way he could miss two in a row from the exact same spot, right?
FFFFFUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK!!!!! You have got to be fucking kidding me. Fuck you Eddy Piniero. Fuck you Matt Nagy. Fuck you 2019 Chicago Bears Season. Eddy, expect a Venmo request from me for those 4.2 units that you ripped from my wallet. Even though a 1Q Team Total isn’t the most conventional of bets, this will go down in my Bad Beets Hall of Fame.
11/11/19
League: NCAAB
Bet: Yale +5 (-120) (bought a half-point from +4.5)
Units: 3 to win 2.5
Okay, now that my rant about that Bears game is over with, let’s get down to business. Monday night college hoops. Betting on college basketball is not recommended if you have a history of high blood pressure, and this Yale game could have put someone with 140/90 mmHg in the hospital.
This line opened at 4.5, but I hate half points so I will always pay a little extra to buy a half-point to make it an even number. Yale played a strong 1st half and trailed by 6 at the break. They were covering the 5-point spread from 18:44 left in the 2nd half, until 0:00 in the 2nd half. Usually, when a bet is winning with zeroes on the clock after the 2nd half of a game, the bet cashes. HOWEVER, this is not the case when the game goes to overtime. San Francisco was up 2 with just seconds left in the game when they stole the ball from Yale and got fouled. The made the front end but missed the second one to give Yale a chance to send the game to overtime. Matthue Cotton got the ball at the top of the key and drilled a 3-pointer to tie the game at the buzzer. FUCK HUE MATTHUE (only a dick spells their name like that).
Winning by 5 or more in overtime is no small task. But as the unluckiest gambler in the world, I was in for quite the sweat. Here’s what happened:
Thank the lord I bought that half point because this would have turned into a terrible beet but instead was just a brutal push. Brutal push #1 of the week comes at the hands of the Nerds from New Haven.
11/14/19
League: NCAAB
Bet: Towson vs. Florida 1H over 60.5 (-110)
Units: 1 to win 0.9
This was a relatively light week for Bad Beets, so I will use this opportunity to discuss one of my bigger pet peeves in sports gambling. I bet the Over about 4 times as much as I will bet an under. Simply put, it is just far more fun to watch a game when you’re rooting for both teams to constantly score. Betting an over is scientifically proven to be good for your brain and increase IQ. It’s a constant game of doing the math to see if you are on pace to hit the over based on the current amount of points and time in the game. For example, if you bet the over 200 in a basketball game, you need 50 points to be scored every quarter. If the score is 62 to 54 with 6 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, your brain alerts you that you need 86 points over the final 18 minutes of the game or 4.77777 points per minute.
This Florida game was pacing well, with the score 30-26 with 2:24 left in the quarter. As I only needed 5 points to hit the over 60.5, I was feeling pretty good about my bet. If two teams scored a combined 5 points every two and a half minutes, 40 total points would be scored in a half. All I needed was for Florida and Towson to score at a 40 point-per-half pace, far below the pace needed to win the first half over 60.5 bet.
This wasn’t the worst loss I’ve ever had, but it surely was a Bad Beet. A Tostitos mild salsa Bad Beet, but a Bad Beet nonetheless.
11/17/19
League: Euro Cup Qualification
Bet: France vs. Albania over 2.5 (2nd leg of a parlay)
Units: 4.5 to win 8
Mbappé. Griezmann. Pogba. Giroud. Those are some high powered names on the French National Team that find the back of the net more often than a fat kid finds chocolate cake. I read this game brilliantly, or so I thought. I predicted France could score 5 goals themselves, and they were on pace to do so. With goals in the 9th and 30th minutes, I rendered this bet a win and put my phone away. 90 minutes later, I went back to check the balance on my book and noticed it had gone down from where it started. I open my score app to this…
Neither France nor Albania could find the back of the net over the remaining 60 minutes of the game, thus turning this into Bad Beet #2. Va te faire foutre French National Team!
BONUS Euro Cup Qualifier unfortunate losses:
Bosnia 1H -1, Georgia vs. Switzerland 1H over 1.75
11/17/19
League: NFL
Bet: Live Bet - Patriots TT over 19.5 (-120)
Units: 8 to win 6.5
This one probably doesn’t have the qualifications needed for a “Bad Beet,” but this is a platform for me to air my grievances, and grievances I shall air! I placed this live bet when the Patriots had the ball in the Red Zone down 10-3 early in the second quarter. The Patriots drive stalled and Nick Folk kicked a 22-yard field goal to make it a 4-point game. After a field goal to end the half, the Pats drove down the field early in the 3rd and punched in a TD AND 2-point conversion with 10 minutes remaining in the quarter. The Pats lead 17-10, needing just a field goal over the final 25 minutes to hit their live over of 19.5.
Tom Brady let me down. Hard. Not the way you want to end you Sunday before you have to pay the bookie.
Bad Beet Count: 2 (with 4 unfortunate losses)
Unit Swing: 20.5 to win 22.1 (42 Unit swing)
Thanks for reading this rendition of Bad Beets! Leave a comment or share with your other gambling degenerate friends. Stay tuned for more next week!

How to report Super Bowl & other taxable gambling wins
There was national anthem controversy at Super Bowl LIII, but it wasn't about what the players did during the song. It was about how long it took Gladys Knight to sing the Star-Spangled Banner and how it affected the associated prop bet. If you did come out on the winning side of the song, here's how to report that and other taxable gambling income.
There's no disagreement that Gladys Knight's Star-Bangled Banner was magnificent. However, gamblers had some issue with how long the song lasted, which was one of the prop bets wagered on the game and its ancillary events.
Many who watched Super Bowl LIII say that the best part of the event was Gladys Knight's singing of the national anthem.
Her performance, however, also created the biggest prop bet controversy of the 2019 NFL championship game.
As is always the case, gamblers can bet on whether The Star-Spangled Banner presentation would end or go beyond a certain time frame. This year, it was 1 minute, 50 seconds.
But by the time the flyover, viewed through the briefing visible opening at Atlanta's Mercedes Benz stadium roof (another prop bet, by the way), and applause was over, a controversy was brewing in betting circles.
Gamblers on both sides of the stopwatch, many betting legally for the first time following last year's U.S. Supreme Court ruling that all states now can decide whether to allow sporting event wagering within their borders, were convinced they had won.
At issue was Knight's end-of-song that flourish threw what is usually a clear-cut result into doubt.
It seems that Knight said the word "brave" twice, which opens up the actual ending of the anthem to debate. Did it end after the first "brave" or the second one?
Some sportsbooks specified in advance that they would time the anthem only to the end of the first "brave." Here, it seems like Knight finishes saying "brave," then pauses briefly and says "the brave" in a long, drawn-out sound that appeared to take the anthem over the 1:50 minute prop bet parameter.
You can judge for yourself in the National Football League/CBS YouTube video below.
youtube
Some of the other prop bets, however, were more easily decided. And many of those paid off quite nicely.
All gambling proceeds are taxable income: That's why I'm back again this year reminding gamblers that all gambling winnings are taxable and review how to report those payoffs to the Internal Revenue Service.
If you placed your bet at a now-legal gambling establishment in Nevada or the seven states — Delaware, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia — that now also are taking above-board bets, you likely will get a Form W-2G next year detailing your win.
Remember, the IRS also will get a copy, so don't simply "forget" to report this income.
If you don't get an official earnings statement because say, you didn't win that much or you placed your bets with your neighborhood bookie, you still are legally liable for taxes on the under-the-table wagers. Yes, it's unlikely that the IRS can track down that money, but just in case.
If you're worried the IRS will report your illegal betting, don't be. That's not the prime job of Uncle Sam's tax collector. He doesn't care if you get your money via criminal enterprises, be it shady gambling or some other nefarious scheme. He just wants his due portion of the taxable income. Remember the most notorious tax scofflaw, Al Capone.
However, I know all the readers of the ol' blog are very honest taxpayers. For all y'all Super Bowl and other bet winners, here's how to let the IRS know about your taxable luck.
Look for the tax statements: As mentioned earlier, the new legal gambling spots in more parts of the country will make the IRS' job easier in tracking winnings.
If you win at a casino, race track or other legitimate gambling venue, depending on the game of chance and amount you win, you will get a Form W-2G from the betting parlor detailing your winnings.
Sometimes the amounts won trigger the new, slightly lower withholding rate of 24 percent when the lucky gambler is paid. In other instances, a gambling establishment simply will ask winners for a tax ID (the individual's Social Security number) for tax-reporting purposes.
With or without withholding, if you get a W-2G, be sure to include the amount on the form on your tax return. The IRS will get a copy of this form, too, so if you don't report it, tax agents will come asking.
Use the new Schedule 1: If you're a casual gambler (like me!), with a trip now and then to Las Vegas, Atlantic City or your nearest casino, you should report the annual total of all your gambling winnings, with and without W-2Gs, on line 21 of the new Form 1040 Schedule 1.
This amount used to go directly on the long Form 1040, but the many tax law changes in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) prompted the IRS to redesign that form.
The new, and only, Form 1040 is condensed. But the IRS still is looking for the information it used to get on the old longer form. To get that, it has moved a lot of 1040 lines to a variety of schedules that will be filed along with the new shorter tax return.
For reporting 2018 tax year gambling income, you'll enter the amount of your winning wagers as additional income on line 6 of the new Form 1040, with details entered on, yes, line 21, Other income that now appears on the new Schedule 1 you'll send in as an attachment to your federal return.
The amount of prizes or awards, either the cash you received or the value of merchandise won, also goes here.
Take advantage of your losses: And yes, while the TCJA did do away with or dramatically alter many deductions that used to be claimed by itemizers on Schedule A, the option to deduct your gambling losses remains.
These losses you enter on the "Other Miscellaneous Deductions" section of the new Schedule A will help offset your taxable winnings.
Wait, you say. Didn't the new tax law, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that took effect on Jan. 1 and, as just noted, also led to the revising of Form 1040, do away with that itemizing option?
You're thinking of the "Job Expenses and Certain Miscellaneous Deductions" section of Schedule A. That was eliminated.
But the "Other Miscellaneous Deductions" segment survived. And just like it was under the pre-TCJA, these "other" deductions are not subject to the 2 percent of adjusted gross income threshold in order to be claimed.
Note, however, that your bad betting luck only goes so far. You can only use your gambling losses to offset, perhaps zero out, your winnings. You cannot use them to produce an income loss on your return.
Gambling records are key: To make sure you get the most from those bad bets, keep good records.
You generally can prove your winnings and losses through official documentation like the previously mentioned W-2G or Form 5754, Statement by Person(s) Receiving Gambling Winnings.
Other gambling winnings and losses can be verified by wagering tickets, canceled checks, substitute checks, credit records, bank and ATM withdrawals and statements of actual winnings or payment slips provided to you by the gambling establishment.
The IRS also suggests keeping your own documentation in the form of a diary. I'm not talking about a journal where you note, "Dear Diary, the slot machines at Kay's Kasino suck, as in sucked up all my paycheck!" (although that might be cathartic if you're on a losing streak).
Rather, keep a log of your losses and winnings. You can find more record keeping details based on the type of gambling you prefer (Keno, Bingo, poker, horse racing, etc.) in IRS Publication 529.
The IRS doesn't want to see your gambling records when you file your return. The agency has enough to sort through already. But if an IRS examiner sees something suspicious, your complete gambling journal and accompany records will help you show how you cut your $10,000 in winning Super Bowl bets to zero.
Tax timing: Finally, remember that your winnings from yesterday's big game will go on your 2019 return due next year.
For this year's April 15 (or 17 for New England filers and bettors) Tax Day, you'll need to dig out last year's winning receipts — and losing tickets — to tally the correct amounts to include on your 2018 forms and schedules.
To save you from such filing scrambling in 2020 and future tax filing years, start a gambling diary and collection of supporting documents now.
Good luck, on both your taxes and future games of chance.
And oh yeah, the New England Patriots earned their sixth championship ring by beating the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 in the lowest-scoring Super Bowl ever.
You also might find these items of interest:
Even on big sports gambling days, Uncle Sam comes up short
Professional gamblers' deductions narrowed a bit under new tax law
Now-legal betting on football playoff games should pay off for IRS, too

Human Barbarian
Hello all! So, so sorry that my posting has been neglected as of late. I might be downgrading to two posts per week, but that’s not certain yet. But this blog is certainly not done yet, not even close, so don’t you lot worry!
Helloooooooo, Human Barbarian! What can I say about these kinds of characters? Well, here’s a thought: humans are the most non-specialized for survival out of the core races. They don’t have the ability to fight on or see in the dark like half-orcs, nor do they have the nimbleness or elves or halflings, and they don’t have the inherent magic of gnomes. Still, they persevere (sometimes at any cost) in worlds filled with danger. I mean, even low level monsters are significant threats to the average humanoid. Of course, that’s why people take levels in- *cough*.... I mean….train in… combat...specializations… let’s move on.
Gavriil Raptis
The son of the seamstress down by the docks used to be such a nice, quiet boy. He had fine features, and was always confident and smiling. Poor young Gavriil didn’t have a father, so it was quite a surprise when he angrily shoved a suitor out of his mother’s door. Since then, he’s only become more and more angry and disruptive. The man has tried repeatedly, even paying for Gavriil’s doctor and medicine after the poor boy limped home following a street fight. And now he’s staying out late and seems to keep having more injuries. Nobody knows where he goes, though. Everyone hopes he doesn’t run afoul of that tall brute skulking in the alleys at night, who’s attacked several men and women while wearing an actor’s mask.
Liselot Ragnvaldson
When their boats first arrived from the north, the local magistrate was surprised to find a woman leading the group. Liselot was specifically chosen to lead this expedition because of her ability to intimidate and improvise. When the head of the town guards later tried to touch her without asking, she broke his hand (as was lawful for her people). Explaining herself to the magistrate whilst in a jail cell, she told him how her companions would not tolerate this unlawful confinement and carve a bloody path through the town in anger. Of course, this dreadful misfortune was avoided and Liselot negotiated some very lucrative trade. If it had come down to it, though, Liselot could have crushed bones and spilled blood to regain freedom alone.
Ebu Bekir Kartal
When a rising star needs to be knocked down a peg, the masters of the arena send in Ebu Bekir. When a nasty beast has gotten loose and needs to be dragged back inside, they send Ebu Bekir. Bookies cowed? Ebu Bekir. People shook down? Ebu Bekir. Nobles bedded? Ebu Bekir. And he doesn’t care what he has to do, or who he has to kill, or even how close to death he gets. All he cares about is his next sack of gold, how he’s going to spill blood today, and which silk sheets he gets to enjoy tonight.

Champions League - Scores & Fixtures - Football - BBC Sport
All champions league games today - UEFA Champions League schedule, scores, results: PSG beat Bayern, Chelsea top Porto -
The only free way to watch these games in English is to find a free online streaming todaj, Google should come in handy in finding them.
Again, UEFA fumbled these arrangements very badly. If we are lucky…. More matches will be all champions league games today on TV too just chapmions soon as the decisions are made on which matches will be on All champions league games today TV. Thank you Christopher Harris for all your help and information.
This page must have been updated to include a lot of all champions league games today and useful current information, which I had not seen before. We soccer fans appreciate all your good efforts. Stay well and wish you all the best. Today, July 25, all champions league games today, I checked what I read the following on the top of this page here: Manchester City vs.
It is possible that this schedule has not been updated yet …. If and when this information is ever updated and corrected please share it here. Of course, they can always change their mind. Hi Christopher Harris, thanks for your prompt reply and explanation. You could be absolutely right as I too expect toay scheduling information to be corrected todag updated closer to game day.
Thanks a lot for all your help and directory, we all soccer fans appreciate all that you champipns here. Have a wonderful day and stay well and healthy, we need you. The advantage is you can watch this all champions league games today on your TV with this new coming app and without needing to all champions league games today it through your Goday or Internet.
Check with your TV provider. Good luck all. Chris do you think CBS is really only going to show the final on all access? That seems horribly inconsistent with their prior claims. When Turner had the rights, none of the games were on over-the-air television. My question is will I able to watch the Champions League through my Prime account or will I have to pay for a separate subscription?
If anyone can answer this question it is greatly appreciated. Thanks Chris. If you pay…. You are right Christopher. Amazon Prime does make available many shows all champions league games today channels to Prime members, the sad fact is that many of all champions league games today available offers are Tames free, the customer is forced to buy their selected packages at extra cost besides this website for Prime membership.
I made this fact very clear in my earlier post which was deleted from here, I assume because I was unkind to Jeff Bezos. Hopefully this one will be fixed in time. There is no DVR offered. A great relief to have that in place. Or does coverage begin at the Playoffs? Group Stage on? How much do those rights in the past cost. How in the world does acompany only get half a tournament. I guess this is toady new streaming world we now live in. Is CBS interesting getting that or later?
Real played very poorly today to have any chance to eliminate Manchester City. The only consolation for Real fans is that at least we won the La Liga championship this season. Now we have to continued till the next season starts. It has been a very sad day for all Real Madrid fans. Real Madrid lost and got eliminated because of their French Connection. He picked all champions league games today players for this very important game and did not replace players till the game was almost over.
Even though Zidane is highly regarded as a brilliant coach his stupid stubbornness is also this contact form downfall. I will not be sad if and when Zidane departs Real Madrid.
His personal stubborn and poor decisions have hurt this team enormously, Had he planned smarter and more logically Real would have had a much better chance to win and advance to the quarter-finals. Champion: Bayern Munich. You are welcome to use my tips and call your bookie and get rich. Hi guys, anyone getting rich with my accurate picks? So far all champions league games today today I am right so far, correctly picked 2 out of 2.
Third match is next Sunday. I picked Bayern to be champions. Hi all, how about hitting the Trifecta……getting all my picks correctly and perfectly 3 out of 3. I hope some of you are richer now if you had listened to me and followed my 3 picks…. Good and enjoyable season, although Covid tried its best to leeague it for us.
See you soon here. Is there a continue reading to access them there? I cannot believe that TUDN is putting both channels of simulcasting.
I prefer the matches at 3 pm putting 3 games on tv instead of 2 games. Midtjylland vs. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

THE FRIENDSHIP LIST by Susan Mallery: Excerpt & Spotlight
NOW AVAILABLE / HQN Books
[ ] Dance till dawn
[ ] Go skydiving
[ ] Wear a bikini in public
[ ] Start living
Two best friends jump-start their lives in a summer that will change them forever…
Single mom Ellen Fox couldn’t be more content—until she overhears her son saying he can’t go to his dream college because she needs him too much. If she wants him to live his best life, she has to convince him she’s living hers.
So Unity Leandre, her best friend since forever, creates a list of challenges to push Ellen out of her comfort zone. Unity will complete the list, too, but not because she needs to change. What’s wrong with a thirtysomething widow still sleeping in her late husband’s childhood bed?
The Friendship List begins as a way to make others believe they’re just fine. But somewhere between “wear three-inch heels” and “have sex with a gorgeous guy,” Ellen and Unity discover that life is meant to be lived with joy and abandon, in a story filled with humor, heartache and regrettable tattoos.

Excerpt
She shook off the thought and started for the weight room. As she approached, she heard voices. Cooper was there, along with Luka. Ellen hovered just to the side of the door, figuring she didn’t get all that much opportunity to eavesdrop and that she wouldn’t be much of a mother if she didn’t take advantage of a situation that presented itself.
“There’s no reason to go,” Coop said, sounding dejected. “I should stay home and get a job.”
Go? Go where?
“You have to take the bus trip, man,” Luka told him. “Don’t you want to see Stanford?”
“Why? I can’t go away to college. Not that far away.”
Ellen pressed a hand to her mouth to keep from making any noise. Not go away to college? Where had that come from? They’d always talked about him going away. It was what he wanted.
“Coop, come on. Don’t say that.”
“You know I can’t leave her. She needs me.”
No, no, no, no! Ellen battled panic. Who needed him? She didn’t even know Coop was seeing someone. What bitch had trapped him?
She went cold all over and the unthinkable pushed its way into her brain. What if some girl was pregnant? There was a lot of that going around.
She closed her eyes. That couldn’t be it. They’d talked and talked about safe sex. She bought him condoms. She reminded him of how hard it was for just the two of them and how using a condom protected him from unplanned pregnancies and STDs. Hadn’t he been listening?
“You know her,” Coop continued. “You know what our relationship is like. She depends on me. She won’t make it without me.”
Who was it? Ellen wanted to scream the question. She ran through the list of girls she knew her son hung out with and tried to figure out which one might be holding him back. Did Keith know? No, he would have said something. Maybe she should talk to Lissa. Maybe—
“That’s no reason to stay here,” Luka told him. “You want to go away to college.”
“I can’t. Luka, I can’t. She’s my mom and she needs me.”
Ellen sagged against the wall as all the air rushed out of her body. Heat replaced the cold as she battled with the impossible. Her? The person he was talking about was her?
“We’ve always been a team,” Coop said. “I’m her life. She doesn’t date. I’m seventeen years old and my mom hasn’t been on a single date my whole life.”
“Not even one?”
“Nope. She’s never gone in the evening, unless it’s to hang out with Unity or Coach Kinne. She doesn’t do anything but work and take care of me. How can I leave her? Who will take care of her?”
The horror returned, but this time it was laced with confusion and shame. How could her son think like this? She was perfectly capable. She’d raised him, she’d graduated from college, she had a good job. She didn’t need her kid to take care of her. Why would he assume he was her everything? She had a life.
Without thinking, she began backing away from the door. She retreated to the main corridor and stood there, trying to clear her mind.
This was nothing but a misunderstanding, she told herself. Coop was reading the situation wrong. Of course she had a life and she would be fine when he was gone. Why wouldn’t she be? She was more than capable of being on her own. He had to know that. He was free to go live his life—be his own person. She wanted that for him, of course, but just as important, she never wanted him to resent her the way she’d always resented her parents.
She would take a second and gather her thoughts, then return to the weight room. She would find out about his plans for the evening, then go home and… And… Well, she didn’t know what she was going to do, but it would be something fun and exciting. Because of course she had things to do. Not dating didn’t mean anything. Lots of people didn’t date. She was absolutely and totally fine and happy and living the dream. That was her. For sure.

Season End Update: Good times never seemed so good (so good, so good)
Ok Kidz latest update for the go to blog for people who love sports betting but hate Fascism. Glad to report yet another year of growth for the IceMan Investment Portfolio. Our fund is all about providing steady and consistent returns year on year . No Neil Woodford wobble for the IceMan . In fact we were soo close to posting a Bonkers Brexshit Bookie Busting Bonanza ( that being the technical industry term). We had a few that just got away but we still managed to produce a tidy profit. As usual some of our profits will be donated to anti racism charity Hope not Hate and Kurdistan Solidarity Campaign Remember all my positions are declared at start of season and can be traced on this thread.
Once the money is down it is down. This is how it played out.
Championship - Sooo Close
Derby County 5/1 yet again just fell a wee bit shy as beaten in the play off final . Was a rollercoaster ride as Derby spent a short time in an automatic promotion spot but then also had a period outside the play off places . Disappointed they fell at last hurdle but enjoyed the ride.
League One - Winner
Charlton Athletic doing the business at 9/2 (IcePrice) . A team with terrible off pitch distractions remained focused and after an early flirtation with automatic promotion they remained in a safe play off berth all season . They won the play off final and delivering a nice touch . ( see their post promotion celebratory dressing room version of Twist and Shout on YouTube . So bad , it’s Shit).
League Two - Gutted
Backed Mansfield at 9/4 and for most of season they were sitting in an automatic promotion spot and trading at long odds on . Even on last day of season they only needed a draw to go up but lost 1-0 to promotion rivals MK Dons . Bit of a setback but felt optimistic for the play offs as league form made them superior to the other sides . Did not work out that way and they were early play off casualties. This is definitely one that got away.
National League - Winner
East London’s finest Leyton Orient 13/2 (IcePrice) are back in the big time (well Division 2 of the football league ) . Well pleased with this as such a tough league to get out of . Was expecting them to secure a play off place but to secure the one automatic promotion slot was above expectations. Orient were up there from the get go . Sad footnote to this was that their brilliant young Manager Justin Edinburgh recently died of a heart condition.
Scottish Championship - Winner
Ross County is the Boss County 5/2 (IcePrice) . This team were ultra consistent and were always prominent . Won the Championship with 6 points to spare. Get In.
Scottish League One - Stinker
Airdrie were never a confident pick. Took them each way at 8/1 as thought they would be competitive for the top 3. They were never really in the mix and ended up 12 points off the pace. The only real dud selection this season.
Scottish League 2 - Hit the crossbar again
Clyde at 11/4 had a great second half of the season and performed up to expectations. They came second to a good Peterhead side. Bad taste on this as Clyde were deducted 3 points for playing an eligible player. They ended up 5 points adrift but the points deduction had an impact on morale and form. Another one that got away.
FA Cup - Winner 25/1
Backed Watford at 50/1 (IcePrice) to win the competition. They get thrashed in the final but because we on are on each way we get paid out at 25/1 for making the final. Best bit of business this season.
Grand National - Winner
Staying with each way . I put up Rathvinden at 33/1 (IcePrice) for Grand National in last post ( backed in Feb as soon as weights came out ). The horse ended up second favourite on the day and ran a good race to claim third place which paid out at a quarter of the odds. Happy with that. On last post I mentioned another two racing positions on the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Derby. They both let me down badly. Nuff said.
New Stuff
Love my annual GAA bet on All Ireland Hurling and Football Championship. Competition has already started and on full disclosure one of my Hurling tips Clare are already eliminated . I chose Dublin as a lively outsider at 25/1. Good news is that are still in the mix but bad news is they are still trading at 25/1 as they look way off the pace compared to favourites Tipperary and Limerick. In the football I have once again backed the luckless heartbreakers Mayo at 8/1. This team last one the competition in 1951 and have been runners up on 9 occasions since 1989. There is said to be a curse on the team that they cannot win again whilst any of the 1951 side remain alive. Luckily I am not superstitious as 2 players still survive. Anyways Mayo have not been up to their usual standards and have drifted to 14/1 (ShitePrice). I Have got involved with the Cricket World Cup backing New Zealand at 10/1 . Amongst the rain they have actually played some games and theKiwi's are going well and trading at 9/2 (IcePrice).
I am on Venezuela in the Copa America Football tournament at a handy 40/1 each way . They have come through the group stage and now trade at 33/1 (IcePrice) which prices in the fact that their next opponents are Argentina. Argentina have been underwhelming so far and struggled to reach the knock out stage. I would not be surprised to see Venezuela progress . On the political front the brave people of Rojava (Syrian Kurdistan) continue to offer a haven for women's rights in the middle east I went Uptown to let the 'Pussy Grabber in Chief ' know that he is not welcome in London. It was 'nice' to exchange' pleasantries ' with the tiny MAGA crowd of Trump supporters 'Twats with Hats'. Good news that Stephen Yaxley Lennon aka Tommy Knobinson was humiliated in the Euro election . On the other hand the Brexshit shambles rolls on and looks inevitable that Boris Johnson will be new PM.
Will be posting again soon to give selections for football season 2019/20 and check in on the total bollix that is Brexshit.

MIKEY’S PERSONAL BLOG 129, November 2018
On Monday morning, I met up with my support worker Seb at Jamaica Blue Cranbourne at Cranbourne Park Shopping Centre. Following on from what happened last Friday, I was willing to give Seb a chance to prove himself as my new support worker. I also decided to focus mostly on his strengths: He is kind, professional, non-judgemental, a good listener, open minded, funny, easy to talk to and easy to get along with. It also gives me a reason to get out of bed and get myself out of the house on a Monday morning which has always been a huge struggle for me.
While it’s going to take some time for me to open up to him about my personal issues and mental health problems, today’s session certainly flowed much better than when I first met him. I guess we’re both finding our feet. But I can tell that he is genuinely trying to make an effort to get to know me by asking me casual questions about my week and not staring at his phone the whole time. https://www.vetrorecruitment.co.uk/blog/2018/03/what-makes-a-great-support-worker
I mainly talked about my first appointment with Dr. Peralta and how I feel about transitioning from 100mg of Sertraline (Zoloft) to 10mg of Escitalopram (Lexapro). It’s a slow, daunting process for me but one that will hopefully help me feel better and be a more effective form of medication for treating my depression and anxiety symptoms. https://www.health.harvard.edu/diseases-and-conditions/how-to-taper-off-your-antidepressant
Obviously part of me is worried about the possible withdrawal symptoms and side effects that I may endure but at least I’m prepared and I’ve heard mostly positive things about this particular anti-depressant that I’m switching to. I just have to give myself a few weeks to adjust to my new medication and see if I’ve noticed any improvements or changes. https://www.nps.org.au/medical-info/medicine-finder/lexapro-tablets
I’m also hoping to use more of my NDIS funding towards services at Mentis Assist such as life skills, personal development, travelling, community programs and social outings. Whilst Seb may not directly help with treating my underlying mental health issues, at least he is someone who can provide social company and a listening ear as I need it. That’s better than nothing in my books. He can also make connections to other Mentis Assist staff higher up in order to provide me with that information and those services. Relationships build over time, not over night and so I just have to be patient as things slowly unfold for me. https://mentisassist.org.au/what-we-do/our-programs
I've never really been into the Melbourne Cup or horse racing in general even before it became more of an animal rights issue in the last few years. Personally, it's just a sad excuse for people to dress up in expensive outfits, get wasted and blindly bet on horses. It's also a greedy business for bookies wanting to profit and rake in millions of dollars. Big celebrities like Tom and Gai Waterhouse continue to flaunt how rich they are every year and it's so disgusting!
I used to be of the opinion "What's wrong with putting on a harmless bet?" until recently. I will never support this day and it's a blessing that the hype of Halloween this year has masked a lot of the promotion around the horse racing carnivals. It's good that more awareness is being raised each year about the treatment of racehorses that happens "behind the scenes" and that punters and bookies alike seem to ignore. FUCK THE CUP! https://www.peta.org.au/issues/melbourne-cup-8-things-you-need-to-know-about-horse-racing/
On Thursday night, I attended my third Sleep Intervention Group workshop held at La Trobe University Psychology Clinic in Bundoora. I was feeling particularly restless and moody today. Some of these could be attributed to the side effects from my new medication whilst others could be coming from my chronic sleep problems and mental health issues. Poor concentration, sudden mood changes, irritability and extreme fatigue are probably the most dominant symptoms I’ve been experiencing over the past few days. https://www.verywellmind.com/throwing-up-after-taking-an-antidepressant-1067352
But I’ve been doing my best to remain strong during this difficult period of transition and giving myself the self-care that I need to cope with it all. I still find driving down to the La Trobe University - Bundoora campus to be an absolute chore especially in the middle of peak hour traffic that tends to build up quickly along Banksia Street in Heidelberg. But I figure that I’m getting close to the end of this research study and I really don’t want to drop out now. http://otarc.blogs.latrobe.edu.au/sleep-help-for-adults-on-the-spectrum/
During tonight’s session, we learned about how to develop a new sleep routine which incorporates things like the ideal hours of sleep required per night, times you go to bed and wake up. The most important thing to remember is to allow it to be flexible and not rigid as this will invite more arousal and therefore further fuel unwanted anxiety about sleep. https://www.sleep.org/articles/get-sleep-schedule/
Lauren, Eric and Alexa also talked about the essential tips for good sleep hygiene which includes keeping the bedroom dark, cool and comfortable, avoid consuming any caffeine, alcohol and heavy meals before going to bed, not using any technology or devices with blue back lighting and opening up the curtains when you wake up in the morning. https://www.sleepfoundation.org/sleep-topics/sleep-hygiene
On Friday morning, things took a turn for the worse. The plans I had for the day essentially went out the window as my symptoms seemed to escalate. It began normally enough. I spent an hour or so just catching up on my recorded TV shows (Real Housewives of Dallas and Home & Away), ate some breakfast and took a shower. After that, I had zero motivation to leave the house and my brain was getting wound up over the recent Christmas party that I decided to organise at home in a few weeks time.
I just couldn’t seem to handle the amount of “not attending” responses on the event page even though realistically this was to be expected. December is a busy time for everyone and of course people are going to have other plans and commitments to attend to. I guess I just wished that I had a more positive response to it, that people would be excited to see me and therefore I would be more enthusiastic about organising it. Feeling let down and upset over a social event of mine going pear shaped was not a new thing for me and yet it still sucks.
Mum rang and asked if I wanted to meet her for coffee at Degani Cranbourne Park. It was around 11.30am and I decided to go as I needed ANY reason to leave the house and not spend my day being socially isolated and withdrawn. Momentarily, I found myself to be a bit more upbeat but it didn’t last long. Sitting in the cafe, I felt like a depressed mess with many worrying thoughts flooding my mind and it was really uncomfortable being around other people (I had no friends. Nothing is going right for me. I don’t know where my life is heading. I feel like shit. I feel hopeless). https://www.beyondblue.org.au/the-facts/depression/signs-and-symptoms
We tried moving to a different cafe The Coffee CLUB Cranbourne but it didn’t really help my symptoms much at all. It’s been a while since I’ve felt this severely depressed and perhaps the change of medication plus my chronic sleep problems and average diet could all be contributing to it. I also noticed that my appetite decreased as I didn’t “feel like” eating even half a slice of cake carrot that Mum ordered. Something was definitely up with me and now more than ever, I really have to look after myself. https://www.healthline.com/health/mdd/switching-antidepressants
“Weeping, kicking these words around too long. I had a feeling we were close to something bigger. Deep breath under a baseball cap. One way ticket to a heart attack... And it's gonna be tough 'cause I got a few things to work through. And I'm all loved up in a world I can't explain.” Amy Shark - All Loved Up (2018)
“Oh, something good better come out of this. I don't even know how to exist...How do you keep it together like this. Never again, I'm a nervous wreck. Please don't repeat anything that I said. I'm forced to see you. But deep down I love it. So far away, but I still see you coming, alright. Let it go, let it go. Hopefully we run into each other.” Amy Shark - Don’t Turn Around (2018)

In just a few clicks, you will be in receipt of daily tips that will see you £2,500 better off THIS WEEK!
And let’s be honest – it’s about time you had an extra few grand regularly topping up your bank account…
Pay your bills, wipe your debts, treat yourself to a few luxuries… You could even splash out on a new car!
And while you’re at it, why not quit your day job?
There’s no point in slaving away for some ungrateful boss when you’re earning six figures annually, with ease, from just 10 minutes of betting each morning!!
But before we go any further, let me be straight with you for a moment…
I am not your usual tipster.
I’m not about to tell you that I’m some math genius who’s come up with an incredible algorithm, nor am I claiming to be some retired jockey, former trainer or big industry king pin.
What I am, is an opportunist.
When I see a chance to make money, I go for it. And who can blame me for that?
My name’s Paul, I’m for the West Midlands and I’ve always had ‘the gift of the gab’.
As a kid, I was liked by everyone at school. I could move from group to group seamlessly, and I could always convince the other kids to do what I wanted them to. Every scenario on the playground would play out in my favour.
And as I got older, I put my people skills to better use – making money and picking up girls!
I could charm just about every person I met.
I made great tips as a barman, excellent commissions as a door to door salesman, and I even made a sizable chunk of change playing poker with anyone brave enough to challenge me.
But after a while, I decided that I needed to aim higher, much higher. And that’s when I turned my attention to horse racing.
Growing up, my father loved the nags. He wasn’t a professional punter, but he’d head over to our local race track most Saturdays, and on occasion, I’d join him. That’s when I began to realise just how much money there is in horse racing… And I wanted a piece of that action.
When I was in my mid-twenties, I began to devise a plan. I wanted to infiltrate one of the innermost circles of the equestrian industry, and find out how the hot shots really make their money.
I did my research, identified who the key players were and I dug into their backgrounds. I made mental notes of what they liked, didn’t like, and prepared to mould my persona accordingly.
Eventually, one sunny afternoon in Autumn, I made my first moves. Introducing myself as a friend of a friend of someone important, saying I was new in town.
With my charm and charisma, I wormed my way in easily. It was almost laughable.
I had infiltrated the insiders.
Fast forward two years and I’ve been invited to no end of private dinner parties, I’ve been on a ‘lads’ holiday to Prague with a famous jockey and a few other industry pros, and I’m even the godfather to a horse breeder’s son!
But the craziest part of all is, I can’t stand a one of them!
I hate the snobbery, the pretentiousness and the way they scoff at the poor.
And it turns out, the whole system is rigged. They’re all in each other’s back pockets and make racing as profitable for their own tight-knit group as possible. To hell with the average punter!
Who cares if you’re behind on rent when Geoffrey wants a new Porsche?
Frequently, races are fixed. And because of this, I know the outcome of a race way ahead of time, and can therefore place my bets accordingly.
With just the tipoffs I overheard in that circles, I was able to make an average of £2,500 from horse racing, every single week!
And by doing no more than spending 10 minutes on my phone. I could do that in the back of an Uber, or even before I got out of bed!
It was so easy, it was almost unbelievable.
It felt like playing the lottery when I already knew the numbers.
It was like printing money!!
For months I splashed out, buying clothes, gadgets and a new car. And I moved out of my small flat and into my dream house!
But eventually the parties, the women and the flashy things I bought, all came to feel shallow. And worst of all, I’D BECOME ONE OF THEM.
I was using my position of newly found power to make a fortune, while the average punter was losing his hard earned wages, playing a game that was fixed against him!
And so, I decided to do what was right.
That’s when I created Insider Infiltration. A tipping service that would level the playing fields for the average Joe Blogs.
I want YOU to have the same incredible opportunity to make money from horse racing as I have.
Growing up, my dad squandered away our savings at the bookies. And his losing streak eventually cost him his marriage, and ruined my childhood.
If only he’d have known then what I know now.
I don’t want you to repeat the mistakes of every other punter out there who’s betting blind.
And so from today I am going to send you the daily bets that cannot lose!
I still move in those insider circles. I get ALL of the most up to date race information. I know which races are fixed and which horses are going to win, at least 85% of the time.
And so, if you actually want to make some serious money from betting, you need to sign up to Insider Infiltration right now and see for yourself just how beneficial an insider advantage can be.
