Tikay you are truly brilliant mate, People like you make this site so beautiful to come to, Keep up the good work. Simon Posted by COCASIRF
Lol, thank you, but not at all.
All I did was spend 2 minutes writing a Post about Lauren, instead of wasting 2 minutes replying to some moan about (poker) "bad-beats". Not a difficult choice really, eh?
Your Post on there will be appreciated by Lauren - I promise.
In Response to Re: MUST READ. Instruction, not request.;) : Yes. Emma told me she'd ring me to let me know, but I won't chase her. I'm not a parent, & never have been, but I imagine it's worse for Mum & Dad than it is for Lauren in some ways. Posted by Tikay10

Hi tikay
Yes it is, I would imagine Lauren will be under sedation for the proceedure, of course Emma and Ian will be sat waiting for news, my mum had a pacemaker fitted at the age of 79, so can understand what Emma and Ian are going through.
Hi Tony, I have been through similar, but not as serious not that it matters, when you see your "baby" in trouble and know you cant do a thing about yourself, you feel useless and scared of the outcome. It was the WORST feeling i have ever had in my life. At this time ALL my friends and family rallied around us, so i KNOW Ian and Emma will be touched by all these messages. col

Bingo! your done. 8. unwrap Kitkat (other chocolate bars are available) 9. sit back and admire your fine forum skills. Posted by Sky_Rich
I'm thrilled - thank you. We reached the target of 50 in about 3 hours. Shall we try for 75 - or even 100? If we all huff & puff together, I'm sure we can achieve anything. Right, I gotta get back to replying to PM's complaining about bad beats. Posted by Tikay10
I've been saving all mine up. I'll send them all together for you if that's makes it easier )
(I have a lot from other sites too - can I send you those as well?)

Noooooooooooooooooooooo!
They are the very plague of my life. I bet I've heard a million of them, & they are all the same. "I raised with x-x, & guess what the idiot called me with?. And the flop came"......By now, my eyes have glazed over. Lawrence Gosney (WSOP Bangle Winner) chrgesd folks £1 a time to tell him bad-beat Tales.
I used to do Live Updates of Poker Tourneys, all over the world, & I dreaded break time, when all the players would come & tell me their tale of woe. Vegas - in that corridor - was the worst. 2,000 players all go on break at the same time, all on the 'phone to their mates. (Like their mates cared one iota). "I raised with x-x, guess what he called me with? And the flop came......"
Anyway, that's MY bad-beat story,
Right, lets get the thread back on track. What's the Target on Lauren's thread today?

I'm having a dabble in a tourney shortly and will be making it known about the thread to all and sundry. If we all do that it could be a mega thread.

There is a new Thread in "The Shed" about something VERY important.
We need you to Post on it, even if only a few words "get well soon" or somesuch.
If 50 of you could take a moment to Post on that Thread today, you have no idea how much it would mean.
Thank you.
The thread is here
7 Posts on that thread in the first 25 minutes.
That's good, thank you.
But not good enough.
We need MORE please!
Poker bad-beats? Pfft.

Less than an hour, & 16 replies already. Excellent!
We need more though, please.

Sky Rich - thank you for "abbreviating" my Link in the OP.
You'd really think I could do that myself by now!
Yes it is, I would imagine Lauren will be under sedation for the proceedure, of course Emma and Ian will be sat waiting for news, my mum had a pacemaker fitted at the age of 79, so can understand what Emma and Ian are going through.
