Well....In Charleston, progress is trying to be made...

I am just amazed by this anti-card playing law.

Back up north we used to play card games in school all the time. I moved to NC and you weren't even allowed to bring cards to school. Now here you can't even have fun card games in your own house with money.

We still play anyway, i refuse to stop! They will have to handcuff me and lock me in jail ... Matter of fact last night was very lucrative ... On a good week, its like having a great part time job!

They "our ex president" tried to stop us from playing on-line too ... Sorry to inform ya G.W.B. we found a loop hole ...

IMO the government has there noses stuck too far in our business, leave us alone and fix the damn economy ...

Thank you Sen McConnell, one of the more pragmatic legislators in this state...hopefully, he can get this passed.

But if you do, and the police raid the house...it might be the kids who turned you in. So, the next time they ask for an increase in their allowance...*hint hint*
