What is something you have never been able to do?
Post your answer in the LEAVE A COMMENT section below. Then scroll back up and see what I have to complain about. Or you can wait until afterward . . . I’m not the boss of you. You know what? Don’t write anything for all I care! But you’ll never be able to resist.
. . .here are my thoughts.
What is something you have never been able to do?
This may not make too much sense if you’re not a poker player. But I love the game, and it’s my damn blog. If you spend a couple hours at a poker table you’ll inevitably hear some idiot in a heads-up pot fold his hand to an all-in bet on the river, and say, “Good Bet.” In this situation, the player who bets is doing so for 1 of 2 reasons: 1) he wants worse hands to call, or 2) he wants better hands to fold. That’s it. The other player can respond in 1 of 2 ways: 1) call if he thinks his hand is best, or 2) fold if he thinks he’s beat. It’s a contradiction to fold and say “Good bet.” A fold indicates he thinks his hand is worst, while his mouth says he thinks his cards are best. Mr. Good Bet is simply demonstrating a lack of confidence in his read of the situation. I’ve never been able to understand why poker players so often refuse to take the action they know to be correct.
I can’t parallel park a car if my life depended on it. I keep driving around the block until I find 2 spots together and pull in. I could not back into a space either or back up between two objects. The back up cámaras fixed that. I can back up like a pro now. My next car will parallel park itself. I know some companies are making them. It will be a must for my next car.
[No jokes about women drivers, Brad. Don’t do it. You’re better than that. Just ignore those thoughts in your head] . . . Parallel parking isn’t easy. Thanks for sharing. [See, Brad, that wasn’t so hard.]
Watch it kiddo. You better not make any remarks about us female drivers. I’ve been driving for 56 years. I’ve had one ticket (and the cop followed me to my place of employment and requested I return the ticket because he knew my husband didn’t think my husband would be happy with him). And I had a slight accident 2 1/2 years ago and I’m behind sued But she is sueing 6 other people because she is crazy but that’s another story. It wasn’t my fault. Just wrong Place at the wrong time.
Rule #2: Pay no attention to what Brad says. Rule#1: UrProbablyRight.
Never been able to win the PowerBar or megamillion jackpot even though I try every week.
I hear that!
Keep playing and remember your older but wiser cousin who loves you dearly if you win.
Older but not so sure about wiser
Nap. On a rare occasion I may be able to fall asleep for 10-15 minutes if I’m on the couch, snuggled up with my puppies, watching TV. But that’s it.
I’m tired . . . I’m asleep!
I’m asleep before I’m tired.
I am with the rest of the Carfolo’s I can nap sitting up in a chair. I use to work swing shift in the office in the mill. Would fall asleep with my hands on the key board sitting straight up. No problems napping.
I have never been able to do a full push up or pull up on a bar. No upper body strength.
Looks like you found your New Year’s resolution.
No, as long as I can lift a beer or glass of wine to my lips I am strong enough.
