It is not really an issue of passing out. The artery that he had a high grade lesion in is the main vessel that supplies most of the oxygen to the heart muscle itself. If that thing occluded completely, and was not reopened by a cardiologist or clot busting medicine, he would still have some collateral flow but he could lose a lot of his pump power. This would not cause him to pass out in the absence of other problems but could lead to chronic congestive heart failure, poor exercise tolerance and other badness.
@Leo: Those are some ratty as vessels you got there sir. If you got disease there you can be sure you got it elsewhere. That means that your sexual capabilities are going to be threatened if you continue to smoke. Having cardiac issues is one thing but don't mess with a dudes unit!

Fyp first. The posted images may be a bit ambiguous, but the remainder of my cardiac anatomy is remarkably disease free. As to continuing to the smoking, I have a new friend.

She iss Japanese, but she has many friends in Seoul and has visited them every time she goes to Japan. (once a year) She speaks a bit of Korean and can read it as well.

Leo: if I can quit smoking, anyone can. Just make a medium largish bet with someone you don't want to give the satisfaction of paying out to (hi DD!  )

Yeah, quality is bad. My stepson scanned the original with his iPhone, then posted it for me so that I could link to it.

Anyway, her daughter moved in, tried to take care of her for 5 months, and when she finally got control of the money, kicked her mother to a nursing home.
On several, occasions, she has thrown parties that last until 2 am, invites only male guests, and does this at least 2 times a week (my little sister has complained that she has heard them singing drunk in the backyard). They live in a very nice neighborhood, this daughter is like 35+, just no common sense. Pure white trash. Of the lowest form.
Aside from writing a note, or contacting them, which most assuredly won't work (if they had the metacognitive awareness to understand how noisy they are, they wouldn't need a note), anyone have any ideas?

Choices:
1.) Live with it.
2.) Police.
3.) Move.
There is a fourth choice I've hypothesized in the past, but I'm not sure it would work and it probably requires going through option 2 first.
Record them nonstop and keep a journal including time of day. After two months or so, file a suit in small claims court for damages involving quality of life issues. If they don't stop, continue filing small claims suits.

CDC made the argument that it's better to be up a million racks and end up even after a long session than to be stuck a million racks and end up even. CDC confirmed insane.

Re: September Low-Content Thread
got a non-poker related badbeat yesterday. played a freeroll slot tourney. was ranked in 1st for most of the tourney. 1st paid $12.5k, 2nd paid $3000, 3rd paid $2000, and 4th paid $1500. was unofficially told i got 2nd place. when they posted the official results, i ended up getting 4th place. then i take a look at the scores. i had 123,650 points. 3rd place had 123,850 points. i believe the minimum payout on any paying spin was 300 points too.

completely insane.
in fact, the reverse true: it feels better to dig yourself out of a huge hole, breaking exactly even at the end, than it does to meander along at even and end the session up 10 bets.

we want more posts. Also, it my wife and I would love to share our TR for the Special Selection vs. not Special Selection with someone who'd appreciate it.
For anyone who likes to luck into lowest you can find Interwebz prices on wine, Costco can sometimes have some good stuff hidden in the case up front. Also, it is good to have a wine expert on speed dial.

Big talk for someone who recently begged for a 24 hr reprieve!
