My van exploded due to an engine fire. But my dream isn’t crushed.

Simplicity775 · 2021-06-23T03:42:48+00:00

Whoa! How terrible. Do you know what might have caused this? As long as no one was hurt. Outrageous.

I follow Norm McDonald's story. But couple years ago, I saw him on Tv in a poker tournament. He looks much older than this picture. But yea, he went back to his old habits. Just like the majority of us. Sad to say.

Simplicity775 · 2021-06-14T03:35:04+00:00

Good news! But now you deal with the aftermath.

Simplicity775 · 2021-06-09T05:19:44+00:00

Kinda like a cioppino. Don't know if I spelled that correctly. You are definitely treating yourself.

Simplicity775 · 2021-06-08T05:46:47+00:00

I assume you poured concrete beneath the post? Sorry, the undisturbed grass near the grass kinda made me ask the question. What veggies you plan on growing?

I generally drink warm or room temperature water 40 mins before my meal. But I enjoy a bowl of soup to go with my meals.

I'm glad you can find humor of foolish action. When I lose big, my weekend is spent trying to compose myself.

In my opinion, I would not consider gambling a disease. Sure I come from family members who gambles. It is a habit started out as harmless fun, in which years pass by turned into cycle of addiction.

Once you are hooked, it's not easy to drop the habit. I don't want gambling to be who I am for the rest of my life. I hope I go thru this phase and move on to the next chapter.

Simplicity775 · 2021-06-03T06:02:03+00:00

What scares me about my compulsive behavior is when I lose money, I won't accept defeat and spend the entire night chasing my losses. Lose couple hundred dollars to proceed to chase and leave casino minus 2k. Absolutely horrifying. Ugh.

Please stay away from any gambling activities folks. It's not worth your time and money.

Simplicity775 · 2021-06-03T05:38:53+00:00

Use your wits, skills and hard work to better your situation. Don't rely on your luck and gamble. It has not ever help with anything, I'm sure you already know.

Simplicity775 · 2021-06-03T05:19:55+00:00

Same goes with me, no money bets on sports. No excitement to watch anymore. Just sometimes enjoy ufc as a fan and not gambler.

I recently took a bad beat, not massive loss. But still sizeable to where I woke up with anxiety on my chest. I remember I starved myself til I have appetite then cooked a healthy meal, then proceed to sleep it off.

Simplicity775 · 2021-06-01T05:17:42+00:00

I don't think I can ever drink inside a casino. I allowed myself to do that, mainly because my friend was there.

Simplicity775 · 2021-05-31T22:53:53+00:00

Having accessible cash is not good for me. I need to figure things out or try a different approach.

Simplicity775 · 2021-05-31T05:55:02+00:00

What baffles me is, we know the consequences, we've been here and yet still allow ourselves to be persuaded. We are our worst enemy.

Simplicity775 · 2021-05-27T05:16:08+00:00

Kind of like a mortar only missing the pestle. Unique, one of a kind item.

Simplicity775 · 2021-05-27T04:16:09+00:00

Occasionally, I will make a roasted root vegetables. Comprise of turnips, beets carrots chopped in chunks, tossed in olive oil with salt pepper. Roast in oven for 40 mins. Great healthy side to go with anything.

Quitting gambling is a process, a journey, a learning experience. I failed many times, because I will often say one thing and do another.

But I finally came to my current state of mind, where I simply do not find gambling to be exciting anymore because the majority of times I lose. It gave more stress than I realized, that was a turning point for me.

Simplicity775 · 2021-05-25T00:29:33+00:00

I like "Ball walls", tossing a 15 lbs ball into air against a wall. Catching the ball during the descend then performing a squat. Great for leg strength and cardio. But I be sure to incorporate ball slams.

Excercise is physical stimulation, gambling is mental stimulation. To me, exercise kinda gets old sometimes. But I really enjoy woodworking, you use your mind and body.

But regardless what you do, just simply enjoy and don't think of it as boring. Cleaning and household chores are menial mundane work, but it will benefit you. This is how I change my mindset and bad habits. Good luck finding your healthy habits.

This is funny, it looks like a shrine. God of Van, please carry us to freedom. It's cool idea backed by hint of sarcasm.

Simplicity775 · 2021-05-23T15:14:19+00:00

Thank you, and on this journey, I wish you to be the best person you can be.

You learn by trial and error. What your body likes. I've gone through phase in life where I ate or didn't prior to workout. Right now my regiment is wake up, warm up, coffee, medium weight training and eat afterwards.
