POG PUB 2024: A New Year, A New Thread, A New You

heh funnily enough I just lost 15 lbs

I didn't want you guys to see me out of shape 😉

Eh lot has changed. I'm getting married in 8 months, I moved 1 hour closer to NYC in an orthodox Jewish town, and I just decided to stop playing chess.
I still play poker, the only pogger who does 😉

Congratulations BobO!!! Exciting,best wishes to you and the fiancee.

thanks!, bed time, Mets is a wolf

wow! congrats on all that! good for you!

idk if you're joking about the poker, but I play.

Is there a mod in here?

Would it be possible give me additional messaging rights

I'm not sure how to do that. Not sure I ever knew. Don't know if any of the other mods here know how.

If DZ is talking about the expanded pm rights (to be able to pm up to eight people at once or whatever), I think he has to request game mod access and then it’ll go to you for approval. I think it’s the same access that lets you open and close threads you started.

Maybe we need a Filthy pop song of the week.

Or maybe 2: one good, one bad.

POGcathlon reboot anyone? Good times.

I know you did play, I was half joking, yes I do still play but I was mocking the POG poker playing frequency relative to the rest of 2+2

Ah yes it's this- I didn't realise it had that.

Where about is this request? I'll go do it

its under the networking tab in your 2p2 control panel under "group memberships"

you'll need to request to join the pog game mods group

I currently don't have access to approve but I'm trying to change that. I know manasi can.

Cheers Donk! Request in

Very nice

Stay safe from the flooding tbob

I just saw HOUSES floating down the street on video. I don't have any power but these folks don't have any neighborhood left.

oh whoa, are you in the storm amp?

I'm in Joshua tree right now. it's the first time i've had a real vacation I think since 2019! and it's ****ing awesome! I needed it so bad!

last night I drank champagne with my friend I hadn't seen in years, and we just looked at the stars and talked forever. then we over ate and jumped in the pool and hot tub.

then we got up and watched the sunrise, which was a good one.

I really want to go hiking today, but it's 102, so idk if we'll be up for it.

having such a nice time though, that I haven't even longed for death since i've been here.

grocery shopping at vaughn's really sucked though. such shitty food they have there

but omg its so quiet and beautiful here!!! I needed to get out of downtown LA ugh

I'm in Ohio. We had winds that tore this tree completely apart 3 houses up from me. We have no estimate for getting power back but it's nothing compared to what other folks are going through. Nothing hit a house either, somehow.

102 in Joshua Tree is very walkable.

Sounds great Filthy! I've been to Yucca Valley a bunch of times. Fantastic night skies.

yeah! we ended up giving it a try, and it was sooooooo beautiful!

thanks!

yes! we saw so many shooting stars! it made me wonder if there was some kind of meteor shower going on.

I get one more day of this, and then back to downtown LA tomorrow... but I probably should be going on vacation more often than once every 5 years lol

but think of the money i've saved! :p

RIP Kris Kristofferson, best known for his role in Big Top Pee-wee. I hear he also dabbled in music.

Yeah, I heard he covered "Help Me Make It Through The Night". ;-)
