My dad has long since suffered from Vascular demensia. Which basically is a form of alzheimer's where his blood gets restricted in his viens thus cutting off the flow to his brain. I've slowly watch him progress in this and it's been hell.
They say the holidays are a time when lots of people tend to leave us. This has been my holiday with a loss of my grandma in a carwreck (she was dying of spinal cancer anyways so I guess this was mericiful?) and now my father. He is progressing faster and faster. You see my dad wakes up everyday asking two things.
"Son where is my Harley I want to go for a ride" and "Has my mom called yet, we're supposed to go to lunch today". And each day like I get to freshly reopen those wounds for him with the news his mom is dead plus his Harley is gone. His Fiance heard he was going to progress with Dementia so she promptly cleaned out thier bank accounts (He was the only one contributing to them), ran his credit to the ground, and so kindly took the only worldy possesion he had left that was paid for and sold it.*(The Harley he saved for his whole life)
Of course she skipped town leaving a depressed and deminishing 50 yr old man to the NY winter streets homeless until I found him. I give you this long winded back story because before he dies I want to do one thing, I want to give this man his Harley back. I'm going to try and do the impossible again and run $50 to a harley. I did $25 to 4k (Maybe once in a lifetime) and I just ran $50 to 300. It was more but I lost on the colts.
I'm writing this not for sympathy or condolences, but because I want your support. I want open discussion in here about people's picks without put downs for the remainder of the season. My dad as a retired military man taught me to never ask for hand outs, to always do whats required of me, and to never leave a man down,hungry, or behind. I will be making my own picks off my own decisions so I won't be holding any posters responcible for my actions.
I just find it to disconcerning reading all the threads with picks that later turn into verbal fights with internet ghosts. Well thank you for your time, hope to hear from you guys.

, I like my savings account, and I keep my gambling in control. I never load more than I can afford to lose. Someone asked above "What would you father think?" Well if he knew I risked everything he'd be dissappointed in me. However if I used my mind risked very little and because of research with a little hard work won something big he'd be proud.
