The frustration of fantasy sports
 
Well, I worked hard all season to improve my team and make the playoffs...finish first and get a bye then in week two...already lost Allen for the season, Redd having leg pain and now T-Mac shuts down with back problems. Never fails...lol! Short week due to no games Monday and last night I got zero from Redd (game-time decision not to play) and 2 from T-Mac before he left with back problems....looks like I'll be playing for 3rd place next week!

Yeah, not sure how long I'm staying here so I didn't join...might be without the net for awhile in a couple months.

Hard to find jobs anywhere. My mom is still looking around Ocala. (She didn't like her last one very much. They weren't exactly nice.)

Something will pop up when you least expect it.

My mom was the same way. Worked for a guy down here in FL for over 27 years. Had to move to CT found a job up there. Now she is back in FL and is having a hard time. I think people are afraid of her age. They don't realize she wants to work for another ten years before fully retiring.

Yeah...they can't legally use age but.....! I'm not worried, something will turn up, getting bored sitting around though!

Sounds good to me. Make him a big black colt! You can name him Buffy's Angel.

I could have SMG as the jockey and instead of a whip, she waves a stake in front of his eyes if he slows down!

Yeah, David can be the trainer with Julie Benz, Juliette Landau and "Janette" (from Forever Knight) as his rich "sister" owners!

OK, we will have to come up with a storyline arc now. How do they obtain the horse? How do we find out he is a vampire horse? :)


Talk to you later somer. Time for me to go home!

OK, in the Forever Knight vampire mythology, there are vampires (considered lower forms) that feed on animals...apparently the first blood taken after being "brought across" determines one's future taste...animal or human. There was a great story in season three about a vampire seeing eye dog. Janette, having accumulated considerable wealth in her 1000 or so years would have plenty to buy a good horse (or she could borrow from Nick who is worth over $480 million)...LaCroix, the master, knows many of these lower vamps (or they could simply get Vachon's friend Screech)...in any case, they get a good horse and "bring it across" to make it unbeatable! Gotta figure out how Janette meets Darla, Dru and Angel but that wouldn't be so hard...lol!
