Wizards on a roll.

6:00 p.m. game time

Teams visiting NoLA seem to always struggle (nightlife)

Discuss. Go Wizards!

Is that a picture of Nicholson after a few beignets and hurricanes?

This game is far from a gimme. Pels have beeten Cleveland and San Antonio very recently - not even having Davis against Cleve and beating SA by 16. Their H&H backcourt of Holliday and Hield can get hot. Jrue was HUGE in both the Cleve and SA games.

Bad teams have a way of losing focus after a big win, so we can hope they don't play up to their full potential. The Pels are a great defensive team (106.8 DRtg, 9th best in the league) lets see if the they can slow down the Wizard's blistering offense(feels good to say that :P ).

This song Was/Is my fav song ---> reminds me the best time of my life... I didn't deserve for your attention. But tell ya one thing for those months here I was happy "talking" with ya all and for a moment forget on my problems. Thanks for that for You all.



It's funny when You think I should be dead 15 years ago when doctors bring me to live I spent months on rehabilitaion, so many pain for vain... Now I wanna die. I am here without money and hope for better tommorow. Depression, illness and dephts I can't handle that anymore.

I wouldn't presume to tell you how to run your life, and I'm sure there's a lot I don't know. Suicide is a permanent solution to a problem that may not be permanent, or at least not immediate, so I would remind you to proceed with deliberation and after consultation with others. I know it's small consolation in the larger picture, but you are an important and well liked member of this board.

I chose to respond publicly hoping to encourage others to do the same. I'm happy to talk privately if you want. I'm usually a pretty positive person about such things. PM me if you choose, you need to bounce some ideas off someone. I'm sure AFM will offer the same, if he's not already talking with you.

Tricky Kid,

About 4 months ago I PRAYED to God for Him to end my life (if things didn't get better). I was truly tired of the same old with all the mounting problems. He has other plans.

To make a long story short, I've been divorced twice. I've had two sets of kids taken away by family court. I'm literally tens if not a hundred thousand plus in debt. I have a mental health disability that has greatly reduced my effectiveness. Almost three years ago I was falsely accused of a felony that could have landed me in jail 10 years. (The lies cost my reputation, custody of my kids, access to military facilities, and my part time gig as a substitute teacher. Plus legal fees and tons of court appearances). A few months later, my Dad, who I was very close to died. I haven't seen my two youngest sons in three years. I haven't seen my other stepson (who I raised as my own) in about 6 or 7 years. My oldest sort of distanced herself and stopped speaking 3 years ago. She GRADUATED college and didn't tell me. Oh, and then there's the debts pending eviction ... whatever.

I say all that to say I know what being alone is. LITERALLY, I'm on this island by myself. One month I was so broke I didn't have toothpaste or deodorant. (I post mostly from public libraries, which are free. My cell phone? I try and keep a cheap data plan).

Worst of all is the betrayals and the illness that has impacted my life a lot. Just had a disability meeting ...

WHY DO I SHARE THIS WITH THE WORLD?

God is good all the time. There are people worse off. My life matters a bunch. When I've been at my LOWEST I've been sustained by the love and prayers and kindness of strangers.

DUDE: HANG IN THERE! It might not get better. Probably will, I think. Change is the only certainty. I think you either have a mood disorder or a thought disorder or a lot of bad vibes from expectations yours and others.

Dude, hang in there because you are not alone.

I'm not quitting. EVER

The positive ALWAYS outweighs the negative tricky! Depression just wants you to only focus on the tough things in your life, remember the little things that make life worthwhile! Even if it's something as small as talking wizards basketball with all of us, or listening to a specific song or all of the other great things about life. Beauty in the struggle! Hang in there man!

Tricky I don't know you personally but I just prayed for you like you were my brother. I love you and hope you chose not to take your life. We make decisions in life that sometimes we regret. We all do. But you have the power to change your life around for the better. You have a lot more power than you think, unrealized power, but it starts with not giving up on yourself. I'm not giving up on you. None of us here will either.

I am ill and I need a new liver. But this is not the worst thing. Debts and other stuff which I am not proud off. I was a good person but addiction is a strange thing. I never smoke, do drugs but couldn't stop betting. I always told myself that everyone should received second chance. But if I had third, and another and couldn't find a way out of this mess I don't deserve to live and to be a problem for my family. Especially for my mom who sacrifice own life to raise us and now she is ashamed of me :(
Monte sent me a link with places where I can receive a help -> I try go there at morning. it's funny I am sitting one street away from this place which Monte sent me. I couldn't do it if it would be in other cities but this is a strange coincidense.
I am really scared of consequences, other people talking about me. This will be a hell whatever I do.
Dude thanks for sharing this. I really do!

My first thought: Who do you like in the Super Bowl? I don't bet. No money to bet. I'm thinking New England should win going away but IF I were to wager I'd go Falcons by more than 6.

Second thought: I don't know how old you are. I'm 55. Dude, I love me some Jesus but I still like the naked ladies. I still use profanity. I still REALLY have to monitor and check myself for not being loud and or crazy. Years and years of therapy and some things seem to not get better. Years ago, I spent money on things like prostitutes and impulse buying. I've done and said some REAL DUMB stuff.

However, I've learned that God gives us a new day every 24 hours. A new day is like a new lease on life. EVERYTHING has a season. ONE DAY, you won't wager.

IF I CAN STAY CELIBATE FOR YEARS ... trust me on this. You can, as God wills and you believe, DEFEAT YOUR ADDICTION.

The secret I think is forgive yourself. Love yourself. Come to God just the way you are. EVERYBODY I think has SOMETHING. They may NEVER admit it, but we all have habits and or character flaws. Might not be gambling, but could be WORSE....

Love yourself the way you are.

ABOUT YOUR MOM; TK, I've got ex-wives who got together to write the judge about me. I've got LOTS of people would could tell you something they don't like about me. The thing I ask you to do is ACCEPT HER RIGHT TO BE ASHAMED. But, don't expect her NEVER TO CHANGE. I think YOUR REAL FEAR IS ... WHAT IF YOU CAN"T turn it around and make her proud again? (I think you should visualize the day she DOES FORGIVE YOU ....in time)

To me, I think you just need to take it one day at a time.

YOUR PRIVATE VICTORY of living one day at a time w/o gambling will become a public victory sooner than later.

I know what it's like to have people NEVER FORGIVE ME.

I PRAY FOR THEM and I THANK GOD I'm not the same man I was. I still got work to do and to get better but it's better.

Your mom LOVES YOU most likely. Don't forget that...

You do deserve to live. Mistakes are a part of the human condition. None of us is perfect. Some have become U.S. President despite making mistake after mistake. :lol: The biggest consequence you could have as Monte eluded to is making a decision you cannot reverse. I believe in coincidences as well. It makes perfect sense that your really close to a place Monte sent you information on. Your meant to live!

Agree with all the above. You're a good person who made mistakes, like pretty much everyone here. You recognize there's a problem, and you found an option near you, but you have to pursue it. Believe you are worth it. There's a lot of people here who think you're worth it. Please be open to that. Just take a single positive step, and then another, and see where it leads.

Everything You are saying is logical to me. Just thinking about the future which I CAN'T change they way I wanted is depressing.
I am sitting in netcafe in train station without money, phone and tired, cause I ddin't slept over 40 hours. Some girl gave me $$$ for using net I wanted to write something to my niece on FB. Unfortunatelly she wasn't sleeping and after talking I feld way more worse just thinking I wouldn't see her growing old :/ I came here and I saw Monte's comment and I couldn't resist to reply. BTW earlier I couldn't after surgery but I read them all - so funny at times that my stomach was destroyed :D
For some time being here during the games or now I won't feel so alone and abandoned. It's just internet but emotions and thoughts are real
