I MISSED YOU ALL

Hi all my favorite crib players--sorry I have been absent for the last few days--i'm showing you the email I sent to GC explaining my absence--I'm back and hope to see you all soon
THe email:
At 8:30 cst today my 21 yr old son Andy came into my house and told me that the house across the yard was on fire and I should call 911. Andys girlfriend and 6 kids live in this house--these are the little ones I've been taking care of during the summer---- I took the phone --yelled for my husband and went after Andy--when I got into the house I couldnt see anything- and couldnt take a breath---it was all smoke and pitch black--I hear Andy saying he cant get any breath--I try to get to him and I can't see a thing---he was n the second floor and came down with the 3 yr old--bob(husband) and I took the little boy and tried to keep andy from going back in--his girl friend Tami made it to the front window with the 7 month old little girl--she dropped the baby out the window into my husbands arms---from the second story----I spent most of my day in the ER with the 7month old and the 3 yr old being treated for smoke inhalation--they are both Ok now and need to be checked over again on Monday. Tami was in the hospital until about 9 pm tonite and has carbon monoxide poisoning---Andy is ok and will see his doctor on monday. I now have an extra 7 people staying in my house---they have lost everything and we are doing anything we possibly can. I can honestly say that I have never been so scared in my entire life ot hear my "baby" begging for air while trying to save the kids absolutely did me in. And the time in the ER with the little ones not knowing whats happening with andy and tamy--I need no more days like this.I've leanred a lot today--I always new my husband and sons were men of honor --today I saw it. I havn't be all that happy about him dating a woman with 6 kids but seeing him today and the fear in his face and the determination he had to save her and the kids I have no doubt of his love for her-and these kids--sometimes things that are meant to be are not the things we would normally chose and I will definetly be more open to the choices my children make--no matter what.
to MsMary and her family

I'm thankful that you are all safe, what a terrible thing for everyone to have to go through ... it really makes a person take stock of their life and appreciate what they truly have. My prayers go to you and your family.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
