UPDATE

The team of doctors did their rounds yesterday and informed me that im printing high. Apparently that is a good thing. They have considereda heart for me already but ultimately turned it down as it didn't meet enough of their criteria.

Basically they say whether or not i accept a heart unless it meets enough of their criteria and theres an infectious disease risk. Then they make me decide.

I was kinda shocked I had already been taken into consideration for an organ. I figured it would not all start happening so fast, but it is. I was informed they will not just rush into my room and grab me for immediate surgery. I was told I would have nearly 24 hours once a heart is found before I'll go to surgery. Least that's how I think I understood it.

Again, I'm not responding to everyone 1 by 1 as i am typing from my phone and its a pain doing all this  laying down in pain.

My donation addresses are still live if anyone feels compelled,  but Noone is obligated. It's just as nice to see warm replies in this thread. Some people I didn't think liked me much have even taken the time to post a message. To me that is sooooo awesome. Putting aside differences and showing empathytowards ones difficulties touches me deeply.

I love you all. Ill update as I get more news.
2062  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's the best strategy for high wagering/low losses on plinko? on: January 07, 2023, 08:57:48 PM
There's a higher chance of it landing on the middle rows. Normal curve-based probability. I would suggest you focus more of your bets within the center, and then deviate a little here and there to cover a wider range. If you are shooting for a single bet high wager, however, this could still work but will not guarantee a win every time. So I would really suggest you drop multiple marbles instead of going all out on different bets, like what Jackg said.
I'm not shipping all in bets but rather decent to large bets but when I do I seem to find a middle streak losing 500-1000$ on the run.

In the long run I'm losing my ass and the rakeback or bonus that I earn is far from covering the losses.

Overall, just need a general strategy thats not a huge loser and can wager large amounts.

2065  Economy / Gambling discussion / What's the best strategy for high wagering/low losses on plinko? on: January 07, 2023, 10:43:34 AM
I've been messing around with plinko on a couple sites. My normal strategies are 14 lines low payout and 16 lines low payout.

There are times I am dropping 200-400 $ balls so I get to wager alot, but seems like everytime I drop a big ball I hits a loss spot.

You play 16 lines, there is only 1 bad spot and that's directly down the center for .5x money lost. I've seen that slot hit 5x in a row.

So what's a better strategy?

I'm still trying to understand Clippers as an ORG as this team is playing great basketball sometimes and the other times , they are considering basketball a joke...and if I remember well and I do , Clippers was the most hyped team some years ago right ? look what this hype made to them a few years later...

I think it was like 2019 when the Clippers were hyped by the media and other NBA fans because that is the year Kawhi Leonard joined the team. Understandable because he already made a name for himself by joining the Spurs in 2011 and was like one of the hottest players during the 2016 - 2017 season. Unfortunately though, he cannot really carry the Clippers all by himself. Pair him up with Paul George, another dude who's really prone to injury and you'll really have some problems.

What happened with Luka last night ? I think nothing happened with him personally as he was still the best man of Mavs but yet , none of this team mates managed to help him score or even assist him in scoring and Celtics immediately took advantage of this situation and managed to put 29 points in front by the end of the game which is kinda crazy considering Mavs had a pretty decent winning streak... . Tatum is for sure an MVP candidate after another spectacular performance from his side.

It seems like the Clippers are always injured like the Lakers. Kawhi and Paul George sit out quite a bit. Maybe it's an LA thing?

Maybe not just an LA thing. Kawhi and Paul George are both injury-prone throughout their whole career. Just think of them like glass cannons that are only good for a couple of games and then they have to take an extended rest in order to get back in shape unlike other players.
I would like to see teams implement a couple new rules such as must play x amount of games or lose a certain % of your contract for the year.

Same thing with sitting out games. On ly allow so many before they start being penalized.

I believe this might make players focus more on their bodies and conditioning.

Sorry to all whom may have replied since my last post. I'm mobile so I will not be quoting anyone and responding. Just here for an update.
Dont worry about replying brother, we understand your situation and everyone here actively reads your updates and praying for you from the heart.
I decided to let them do the pump although it's not awesome. I am stuck laying here til the transplant. I did get moved up to status 2, so let's hope this is over soon.
Sorry, I was unsure about status 2, but upon searching I found among 6 statuses, status 2 patients (along with status 1) are on top priority in the list as they are very severe cases!?
Thats good if this can get over soon and you're back in the old form. Just stay strong!
There are 7 status levels here. Status 4-7 are non-hospitalized and less severe while Status 3 and below are your more serious cases. Status 1 being the most severe. I hope to be transplanted well before they have to make me a status 1.

I have about 6 hours until I have to be at the hospital. Heart catheter a couple hours later. They always want you to arrive 2 hours early. After that it'll be home sweet home til a heart comes for me. I'll have my computer with me, so you guys will still see me online here and there.
Get well soon @yahoo62278 and we hope everything walk smoothly with your condition, little advice reduce activity in front of the computer until health is completely recovered.

Can't recommend him to reduce his activity in front of computer since if that one makes him happy and feel not bored well that's fine, imagine you will not do anything on your bed then most provably you will get worried about everything thinking on your condition, so if his stays in this forum will make him more comfortable or at least he feel strong here then its really fine.

BTW @yahoo62278 hope everything is fine at your end and we hope to see an update that you are healthy.
Thank you

It feels kinda selfish honestly. Someone has to die in order for me to live. That's the reality of certain organ transplants.

You answered yourself already. Yes, that's the reality. Don't feel selfish, please. You are not killing anybody.
We don't know how long we will survive. But, we have to keep hoping for the best. Wish you the best of luck, man.



Thank you

I'm skipping a few replies as I feel like they were replies from users who didn't actually read the thread or philosophers.

UPDATE

Today has been a fairly rough day in terms of got to the hospital and had the heart catheter 1st thing this morning. After that I went to recovery(wasn't sedated, just wasn't a bed open yet so they put me in the cath lab to wait) and was visited by my doctor's boss and a team of what I assume were residents in training. They mentioned the balloon pump. Basically, I was told I can stay status 4 and have a super long wait because there are so many on the list. Not exactly what was said, but that's how I took it.

The other option was a balloon pump which is inserted through my groin area. I will help my heart pump better as well as return blood to my heart when exerting myself. This option also moves me to status 2 and puts me much higher on the list. Likely the 2-4 week wait on average. There are cons as well. I cannot move. I'll be flat on my back til they get me a heart. Gotta use the bathroom laying down, eat, everything. Flat the whole time. It's not a perfect option but it is an option.

About an hour goes by and the boss lady came back alone and offered another option. They can insert basically a heart cath in my neck and leave it there sticking out until I get a heart. It's called a swan. I don't know exactly what it will look like, just got a general description. Haven't googled any of it as I came to the hospital with no sleep. Once they put me in a room I ate and took a nap.

Option 2, the swan, puts me as a status 3 which means a longer stay in the hospital, but I have the ability to move around and go to the bathroom. I am already on the surgical schedule in the morning if I choose the balloon pump, if not we will talk about the other option and when it can be done. Needless to say, both options are not awesome, but none of this situation is.

I hope you can update about your condition after checking in hospital, we here stand beside you and hope you can recovery your healthy back.
I'll not really have much update til I get the heart.

So the last part of your journey began. Dear yahoo62278, I wish you to try to relax, as much as you can in these moments, as there is nothing left you can do, other than pray. I am sure that many others, including forum users, are praying for you. In rest, you followed all the (correct) steps which brought you to this moment.

What I did not understand very well was the part about "home sweet home". I am not sure if you joked, calling the hospital as "home sweet home" (meaning that you will remain there until a new heart comes for you) or if you will actually return to your home sweet home after getting the catheter and wait from your home until the new heart arrives. I hope for the lattest, as you will have a much nicer time at home than inside a hospital...

And regarding the new heart, do you have any information regarding when it will arrive? Is there any estimation? Or it will be just pure luck, which could mean that you may receive it in a week but also after a year?



Other than that, I keep encouraging everybody to keep donating BTC to yahoo62278's address -- 1LiwxmZC1v3d5J7XeMT4c8FKpuJwV3QjqH -- which is also linked at his profile. Every small donation will help him a lot! I also PMed some friends for help and, I hope, at least some of them donated. And I am still trying to convince others. Let's hope for the best!
Unfortunately, once I get to the hospital in an hour or so I'll be there until the transplant. They are admitting me to speed up the process and place me on a higher priority. I'll be at status 2 instead of status 4. I will also have to get a heart pump put in as it's 1 of the qualifications to be moved up in status.

There is no timeline. On average 2-4 week wait but could be 1 hour or it could be 6 months. I'm stuck in the hospital until it happens. It feels kinda selfish honestly. Someone has to die in order for me to live. That's the reality of certain organ transplants.

The address is correct as well. The community donated roughly $400 to this point and it is very much appreciated. My wife will be making multiple trips this week and the extra money will help so much. We definitely thank you for the help because none of you had to send anything.

I have about 6 hours until I have to be at the hospital. Heart catheter a couple hours later. They always want you to arrive 2 hours early. After that it'll be home sweet home til a heart comes for me. I'll have my computer with me, so you guys will still see me online here and there.

I have read your story days ago and I'm out of words on what say. Just letting you know that i've included you in my prayers that you will overcome these trials in life which I'm very optimistic that you can as you are a strong person. Hope to see you soon after the transplant stronger than ever.
Thank you

2076  Economy / Lending / Re: 17$ loan , honeygain account for collateral on: January 04, 2023, 08:56:58 AM
Most lenders will not fill a loan request from a newbie unless you have collateral. I should say valid collateral such as some altcoins in most cases. Each lender has different things that they accept as collateral, but most want 125% of the amount of the loan in altcoins at a minimum. Most also do not accept accounts as collateral.

You have already created 3 topics looking for different loan amounts. Started at $250, then to $30, now down to 17 and noone is going to fill any of the requests without collateral. You have also been negative tagged by 2 users. Best to give up until you get collateral.
2077  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: January 04, 2023, 08:44:35 AM
And so the trend continues with high caliber NBA players pushing their limit, Giannis against the Wizards, 55 points, 10 boards, 7 assists. I know, this is payback time for Giannis as some of the bettors are made against him not playing the last time because of the late news about his injuries and so majority of us lost our parlay and singles bet.

As for the Mitchell drug tested, I think it's fair, I didn't click on the link but what is the NBA looking for as a sort of performance enhancing drugs in basketball?

Steroids.  Not that I think he is on them but being artificially stronger than opposing guards is a huge advantage.  Being able to muscle through the lane, shoot through contact etc.  They randomly check every team/player, it just so happens that dude went nuts the night they got checked.  Could be a mere coincidence, I haven't read up whether it was a random or non random check.
Whether random or his performance triggered a drug test doesn't matter. All players agree to tests at any time and if he is clean, he has nothing to worry about. Personally, I think he's clean but better safe than sorry when it comes to a billion-dollar sport like the NBA.
2078  Other / Off-topic / Re: My story and where it is now..... on: January 04, 2023, 06:50:11 AM
Wasn't doing drugs, wasn't drinking heavily, nor was I abusing any pills. I decided to go get myself checked out.

These days diseases are so common that they can caught anyone even if one is not on drugs. This Reminds me of my story in 2021, when accediently (or for my own good) I was diagnosed with Type-2 Diabetes as my Hba!c (sugar test that gives profile of your sugar level in body for last three months) was too high. Doctor told me that I had this disease with me for almost year or two but I didnt realized that since there were no symptoms. It turns out that its because of my unhealthy dietery pattern
Since then I am controlling my blood sugar with diet, no medicine. If anyone wanna know how to control sugar without using medicine he can PM me and I will guide him with ways I am adopting.

I urge all of you to get checked and get your kids checked. Whether it be mental health or physical health, it is very important to make sure you are in the best condition you can be in. Don't put it off, get tested ASAP.  Not all issues will be obvious and can only be found through testing.

This is exactly what I tell others these days, get you blood sugar, Blood Pressure checked regularly along with other basic body tests. So disesases can be caught at very early stage.   

DONATION ADDRESSES

If you are good in providing digital services (like coding or any other thing like that) then I can help you getting started with some online freelancer platforms.

God Bless you with good health in 2023.



Thank you for the offer to help other users who might be facing a similar situation as you, as well as offering to help getting me some work. I unfortunately am no coder or anything. The donation addresses are just for those who wish to help out. Noone is forced.

I read you story just now. I'm not very emotional person, but for me sometimes is difficult to pick words. And now I'm thinking for some time what to write. Man, I have no idea how I would feel in your place. I read your story several times and it seems that you're not showing much emotions. I don't know, maybe it just doesn't reflects in your text. Or maybe after everything that you already went through, now you manage to accept all challenges that you get from life, as you simply have no other choice. You're seem to be very strong person.
I know story from my country where man, over 60 years old, he was checking his health on regular basis, but got hearth attack. He was in coma for more than 40 days. But after heart transplantation he can live completely normal life. Now he can excercise and even go to sauna.
Health is such important thing, but unfortunately with our busy lifes, we start to value it only after we lose it. I hope that everything will be fine for you. Stay strong!
Thank you

I have about 6 hours until I have to be at the hospital. Heart catheter a couple hours later. They always want you to arrive 2 hours early. After that it'll be home sweet home til a heart comes for me. I'll have my computer with me, so you guys will still see me online here and there.

I would take a look at stake.com if you are looking to place a large bet and want to be paid. They probably have some bigger betting limits compared to other casinos. Far as my preference goes, I play more casino than sports just for the fun factor. Sometimes you get lucky and grab a big win as well.

He's fishing for merits, that's all there is to it. 

In fact, OP sent me a PM in which he acknowledged that he read my thread in which I said I'm not taking any new requests for post history reviews and then went on to fucking request a review.  So hey OP, you got put on my PM ignore list for being such a selfish idiot.  Hate to be harsh, but your PM was beyond stupidity.

Happy new year, blah blah blah.  No more Mr. nice guy in 2023.
Guy has enough merit to be a full member, why does he want a post review? I like to help users out who are close to ranking up as it is a little tougher than the old days, but I also believe those that put some effort into posting will get the merits they seek eventually.

@OP pissing members off that are merit sources isn't really a smart move is it? Why the hurry to get merits?
