SHIRLEY, GOODNEST & MARCY

A mom was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school.
He didn't want his mother to walk with him. She wanted to give him
the feeling that he had some independence but yet know that he was
safe.
So she had an idea of how to handle it. She asked a neighbor,
Mrs.Goodnest, if she would please follow him to school in the
mornings, staying at a distance, so he probably wouldn't notice her.
Mrs. Goodnest said that since she was up early with her toddler
anyway, it would be a good way for them to get some exercise as
well, so she agreed.
The next school day, Mrs. Goodnest and her little girl, Marcy, set out
following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbor
boy he knew. She did this for the whole week.
As the boys walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs, Timmy's
little friend noticed the same lady was following them as she seemed
to do every day all week. Finally he said to Timmy, 'Have you
noticed that lady following us to school all week? Do you know
her?'
Timmy nonchalantly replied, 'Yeah, I know who she is.'
The friend said, 'Well, who is she?'
'That's just Shirley Goodnest', Timmy replied, 'and her daughter
Marcy.'
'Shirley Goodnest? Who the heck is she and why is she following us?'
'Well,' Timmy explained, 'every night my Mom makes me say the 23rd
Psalm with my prayers, 'cuz she worries about me so much. And in
the Psalm, it says, 'Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow me all
the days of my life',' so I guess I'll just have to get used to it!

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.
