DAVID'S PLACE:

  COMPULSIVE GAMBLING: AN UNCONDITIONAL LOVER The adrenaline, the euphoria, the joy of knowing you will be in action is enough to inspire any gambler to gamble again and again or no matter how much they have lost. I am not just talking about lost money. I am talking about lost health, family,and friends. About losing everything that matters. I gambled for over 60 years and lost it all. In the last nine years I have quit gambling and slowly rebuilt my life. Yet, I continue to long for my greatest friend and unconditional lover. Gambling. Now, I am no longer owned by that urge. I own it. I only own it onlyday at a time. So, I stay on guard and keep working with other compulsive gamblers continually or I know I am doomed. Each day I commit to not gambling that day get to the next day without making a bet. Compusive gambling is an incurable, lifelong disease.That is the bad news. The could new the condition can be arrested. You can stop. It's not easy but it's muc...

Is Brett Kavanaugh the type of person qualified for the Supreme Court?  His problems include possible sexual misconduct,  excessive alcohol use, compulsive gambling, and unacceptable judicial temperament. Did you see how belligerent Kavanaugh got when he was questioned. Poor preppy baby. He really got pissed at being challenged during his testimony. Maybe he needed a drink?  Why would anyone who does not have a perfect, pristine, pure, background and personality even be considered for the lifetime position on the Supreme Court he seeks. Seems to me that our idiot President Trump only chose Kavanaugh so he will have a justice who will  be easy on him when he gets indicted or impeached.   Do not forget, just because Kavanaugh gets past the FBI investigation that does not mean he will get confirmed when the actual vote for his confirmation takes place, Kavanaugh stinks to me. How about you?

Back in 1947 my Mom and Dad had sex. I was the result and now I sit in my a little apartment almost 70 years later barely surviving. What a remarkable unforced error that act of love created. I have had a life filled with  many wonderful benefits that most can only dream of. Yet, I have screwed it all up. I was born into a family where there were already two older brothers twelve and thirteen years my seniors. Then, when I was only twelve daddy suddenly dropped dead leaving my two older brothers in charge of a very profitable family business which they already had been working in. My mom, myself, and the two brothers all were willed equal parts of the business with my end being entrusted to my mom till I was twenty five.. I was not a normal kid at all. I hated school and was always in trouble. I was not a bad boy just a clown and a spoiled brat. I did not care about school unlike my group of upper middle class friends who mostly went on to become lawyers and doctors. I contin...

Gambling. One of the nastiest monsters of the world. Feed it and it eats your soul. Starve it and it destroys you mind. To a real compulsive gambler the loss of gambling is good reason for perpetual mourning. Every ounce of desire in your body craves going back to gambling again. The adrenalin, the euphoria, the joy of knowing you will be in action is enough to inspire any gambler no matter how much they have lost. I am not just talking about lost money. I am talking about lost health, family, friends. Losing your whole life. I have gambled for over 50 years and lost it all. In the last few years i have quit gambling and slowly rebuilt my life. Yet, I continue to long for my greatest friend and unconditional lover. Gambling. I was a very big gambler betting on sports, craps, and blackjack. I would win or lose thousands of dollars a day. I figured out that I have lost well over a million dollars in my life. Enough to destroy me financially, mentally, and emotionally. Yet the monster in...
