The closed captioning is not working for me, what's he saying?
kewlJ: My mother has read some of this forum. Probably more that I know. The only thing she has ever said to me about it is to ask why I continue to post here, which happens to be the same exact thing almost all of the decent people I have any association with ask me. And I am out if answers.
also kewlJ: I remain on this forum, for one reason only now....my own entertainment.
Reminds me of a guy who wanted to kick HUGE, TALL MALE Security Guards' asses in a Casino. The Male Security Guards brought out some PETITE , SHORT, FEMALE Security Guard and the guy was OFFENDED that he thought they expected him to kick HER ass and he left peacefully on his own. The MALE Security Guards knew that the guy knew hec wouldn't look macho kicking HER ass and that he'd just want to leave in his own at that point and he did. LMAO!
Take comfort in the fact that no one is actually backing up his wishes to have you permanently banned.

I don't think anyone is going to judge you for participating in this site. Also, while your identity is known to active users here, it's not obvious to outsiders or to search engines. Simply staying away from the drama threads, and participating in the gaming-related ones (which seems to be what you do) would remove you from any real scrutiny. This is especially true because, unlike your late father, you're not a public figure of any kind.
I do appreciate your gaming-related content and trip reports here, by the way. I would prefer the site were more about that, and less about all the bickering, but I try not to interfere with the will of the people.

Anyway, you guys know what this place is. It's a free speech forum aimed at the casino gambling and AP world. It's not 100% free speech. I will remove some posts if they're cluttering threads, as well as posts which are offensive for the sake of being offensive. I'll also remove posts which contain threats or doxing.
Short of that, I let things here play out. And to be honest, that was Alan's basic approach as well. Go look at the posts here from before I took over as admin (when it switched from Alan Best Buys to Vegas Casino Talk), and you'll see it's the same general tone. So it's not like I modified the feel of the place. I basically made a few minor changes, and kept everything else as-is.
I realize this place isn't everyone's cup of tea. It has its positives and negatives. But I feel there's already enough hyper-moderated Vegas/casino/AP forums out there, so one like this serves a purpose.

Dan, thanks for clarifying that this site is a free speech for Casino Gambling and AP, NOT free speech in general. When I joined, I was just told that this Website was "Free speech," but it wasn't clarified to me that it wasn't free speech in general, just free speech for Gambling and AP. So I Trolled hard being under the impression that we could say anything we want with absolutely no consequences, and I ended up getting a posting limit for a few years and I was confused and shocked. I have never Trolled on Poker Fraud Alert because I never got the impression that on PFA we could Troll as hard as we want with absolutely no consequences. I wouldn't have Trolled on VCT if I was told right off the bat that free speech was for Casino Gambling and AP, not free speech in general.

The chink in the armor of this place is all the racism. I guess it sloped down into that awhile back,
At one point it was spic & span, but it hasn’t been like that in a coon’s age.
Reminds me of a joke.
A cosmologist spends his whole life studying the the multiverse theory & is very curios exactly how the initial cosmic inflationary bubble formed during the big bang & if it’s true that there are multiple universes formed from different cosmic inflationary bubbles.
He dies & he meets God so he asks him “Are you the one who blows Bubbles?” And God says “Yes, of course.”
So then the cosmologist says “Well, he’s back in town & he’s looking for you.”
Gambler A: "Last night I got so drunk I blew Chunks."
Gabmbler B: So what, I get drunk and hurl all the time.
Gambler A: No man, you don't get it....Chunks is my dog.
What, Me Worry?
Technically a male Hooker dressed like a Woman is NOT a Tranny(Transsexual/Transgender) he's just a Cross dresser. A true Tranny(Transgender/Transsexual) is a biological man who later became a Female through surgery.
On the old IMDB Messageboards, I asked something like,"If a Man dates a Transvestite is he Gay?" Posters replied something like,"You do realize that a Transvestite is just a man who wears women's clothing, right?" What I meant was,"If a Man dates a Transexual/Transgender, is he Gay?"
Another Poster took my Thread and copied and pasted it to another unrelated board. Another Poster replied,"Lol, but you did copy and paste Kentry's Thread from a different board and bring it here, which was a douchebag move of you to do. So even though Kentry's thread is funny, you shouldn't have copied and pasted his Thread and bring it here."
I clarified that I meant if someone was born a man and becomes a Woman later and a man dates them, is he Gay for dating a woman who was born a man." Posters responded something like," No, because the Transsexual/Transgender is now a Woman and lives as a Woman. A Man is only Gay if he dates another Man who stayed a Man throughout his entire life."

Dan Druff, I don't know how often you read this thread (or forum for that matter), but I am going to post this anyway. I rarely visit the poker forum, but did this morning looking to see ig you make baseball picks more frequently there than here. But what I did read was that you (Dan Druff) contracted covid for the second time last month at WSOP. Welcome to the 2 times covid club. Mine were early on thought and I haven't had another case in 3 years. I do keep up to date with the vacs.
So the point of my post. I was reading your long covid symptoms, and those symptoms don't sound like long covid to me, at least not any symptoms I have heard. The coughing and mucus and constant clearing of throat sounds like acid reflux to me, particularly LPR reflux, which I have dealt with for years, long before covid. You were complaining of something a few years back, which I actually thought sounded like acid reflux back then. Have you ever been tested of diagnosed with Acid reflux, or LPR reflux? I have LPR and it is definitely made worse for a period after covid or even just a common cold.
Point of information: LPR reflux is when the acid from the stomach makes it's way through both valves, one at the lower end, the second at the upper end of the esophagus. This brings the reflux and a damaging enzyme Pepsin into the throat which is just not equipped to handle it. The body defense system kicks in and starts making extra mucus to protect that throat area.
There is no real cure. There are several different versions of operations to strengthen the valves, particularly the lower valve, but none have a good success rate. Most people end up on longterm PPI (proton pump inhibitors), which reduce the stomach acid that you make and helps manage the problem. But you really don't want to get on long-term PPI's if you can avoid it. there are side effect, with long-term use and they are very hard to get off of if you ever decide to.
I am on them, and have been for years, but I have managed to cut the dose to about 1/3 of the original dosage. So with LPR reflux there are a million home remedy type things like the pineapple juice you mentioned to reduce the mucus, coughing and throat clearing. You can try them, but none work.
But I have found something that helps me a good deal. Drink alkaline water. You need a PH level of 9 or higher. 8.8, which is common in bottled alkaline water will do, but 9.0 or above is better. You can buy bottles at the grocery store, or buy drops (amazon) to add to regular water that increases the PH levels. The reason this works is that water with a PH level of above 9, neutralized the pepsin enzyme that is causing all the damage and mucus and coughing. I don't know if this is your actual problem, but it is worth a try. I think you will see some relief. Just take a couple swallows multiple times a day, particularly after eating. Try to hold the water in your throat for a second or two before swallowing to allow it to come in contact with the pepsin. You may not see results immediately, but after several days to a week, you start to get some relief, as you are essentially neutralizing or killing the pepsin each time, before it can do too much damage.
Hope this helps you or maybe someone else with the same issue.

Dan Druff: "there's no question that MDawg has been an obnoxious braggart, and has rubbed a ton of people the wrong way. There's something missing from his stories. Either they're fabricated, grossly exaggerated, or largely incomplete".
My "LPR reflux" was misdiagnosed. I did have LPR, but it wasn't from reflux -- it was from a dry throat. Once I took care of the dry throat (with a over the counter rinse), the problem was solved.
What I have is definitely long COVID. It abruptly started with the COVID I contracted during the WSOP Main Event, and the cough/throat clog never cleared. It's been over 5 weeks. I can't get rid of it. This happens to about 2.5% of people who get COVID, so I ran pretty bad. It didn't happen to me from my first COVID.
Neither of my COVID infections had bad symptoms, though this one was a little worse than the first one in 2022. Both of them I confused for colds for several days.
