Poker In The Comfort Of Home

Leave a reply

I came across a website of a hotel in Vegas that offers free rooms to guests. I asked my sister if that’s true and if it is, she should take advantage of it. My brother-in-law always has luck at the casino, according to my sister, so they usually get their trip to Vegas paid for just by playing in the casino, especially texas hold em. My sister doesn’t have such luck, though.

According to my sister, such free accommodation offers are very common and if she could, she would take it up. However, the weather has not been conducive for air travel In fact, snow has been so thick she couldn’t even get to work. She could just as well play poker online from the comfort of home! It’s a great way to rest and relax after a hard day spent plowing snow!

My sister told me that just like in a real environment, she is no good at Poker but playing at home, she doesn’t feel the pressure. The good thing is that whatever her losses, even though she is just a small-time player, her husband, when he comes home from work, will help her to recover her losses! How lucky!

I also play poker regularly on Facebook and I think that one day, when I am good enough, I would like to pay for money, starting with small bets, though, until I am confident! To me, though, it’s not about the amount of money I win, but the excitement in winning. I feel a rush of adrenaline when I win even though there is no money involved. Yes, I know I sound crazy but then it’s probably because I don’t really understand the game, so to me, it’s more a game of chance, unlike some players who would spend time analyzing a game and get all technical!

Anyway, I don’t know when I will be ready for the “big time” but meanwhile, I’ll just continue honing my skills at free games. LOL

Ad-Free Free Web Hosting

A blog reader sent me a message asking me to recommend him a web host. I have no special preference, actually, so I went online looking for reasonably-priced web hosting companies. That was how I came across this ad-free free webhosting service.

While free hosting service is not new, this one is different because it’s a-free. Moreover, you can use your own domain too. If you don’t want to spend money on your own domain, of course you can use a subdomain, which is also free.

Of course, for a free webhosting account, resources are limited but it is not a problem for a new set up. I like it that users are given CPanel access, which is crucial in any webhosting service. Check it out and let me know if you are using this free webhosting service.

If you have been following my blog, you would know that I was a collector; I collected anything I fancied. I used to have a huge collection of bookmarks. Even though I no longer collect them but started to use them already, I still have so many of them in pristine condition.

if you love to collect bookmarks, head over to the website that I have enclosed at the top of this post to read up on what it’s all about. Then send an email to info@writingreflections.com with “Bookmark Request” in the subject line. Of course, include your name and mailing address.

Bookmarks are sent out free – I think this offer is valid to US address only! If you live outside of the United States, you could still try your luck, though!

I listen to R.E.M. occasionally, though I have to admit that they are not my favourite band. I don’t follow their albums and certainly cannot sing along to most of their songs, unless they are the really popular ones. but then again, as a freebie lover, I cannot resist a good freebie.

R.E.M. is giving away their new track for free download. It’s called “Discoverer”. To get it, you will have to click on the link that I have enclosed at the top of this post, submit your email address and country and hit “ENTER”. Download link will be sent to your email and you can then grab it from there.

I didn’t read through the terms and conditions but I suspect that we’ll be signing up for R.E.M.’s newsletter. Oh, all right, it’s OK! Enjoy the track and let me know how you like it!

Although I run a few websites, I am someone who doesn’t know much about web designing. I try to look for plug ins and ready made codes that I could use for free without much hassle and as easy to learn as possible. Technical stuff bore me and I would give up half way!

Today, I came across this web photo album generator which I think is an excellent tool, especially for those who run “online albums”. This one requires so little technical know-how. I have to admit that I haven’t tried it out yet but I’ve seen screen shots of the nifty application and it look simple enough to use.

If you are already using this online web photo album generator, please leave a comment to let us know how you like the application and perhaps even share your online photo album with us. Thanks!

I am embarrassed to say that I have never paid any attention to the music of Michael Bublé. My sister keeps telling my how good he is and now, i get to find out for myself since I can now download a free Michael Bublé song!

If you like Michael Bublé, or any free song in general, click on the link that I have enclosed at the top of this post and click on the button that says “Download Song: Up The Lazy River”. This looks like a freebie for only Americans because you would need an access code if you are in Canada. Access code can be obtained from the back of the Michael Bublé Beringer bottle tags write my college essays .

Also, when you first access the website, you will have to confirm that you are at least 18 years old. Let me know how you like this exclusive download of a previously unreleased Michael Bublé hit song, Up The Lazy River.
