1. What do you llike about the league? What I like most about the league is, the opportunity to socialize with people from all over the world. To play my ‘favorite’ card game, and win tourney bucks! I have also had the opportunity to meet several members in my home; even though it was under ‘unfortunate’ circumstances. It was sooo much fun!!
2. What would you change about the league? I would change the way members "FEUD" with one another, over a card game. I would use a rule that states: when someone is reported for arguing with a “TD administrator” they should be made to pay a fee of $5.00.
If members are in an argument with each other, they should be made to pay $2.50.
If there is a second kerfuffle, they both should be barred from the game for one week.
3. If you can live anywhere in the world where would it be? I reside in Kansas city, Missouri. If I could live anywhere, I would love to live in Pasadena California. That town seems to be tranquil, fun, warm, and quiet.
4. What is yor favoite vacation spot?Believe it or not, I don’t have a favorite vacation spot. I don’t like to travel ??
5. What is your favorite Food? Besides my more exotic foods; Mexican cuisines would be my favorite. Hands down. Next, Chinese.
6. What is your favorite food to cook? My favorite food to cook; at least one of my favorites, would be combination fried rice! Next, Rack of Lamb on the grill...” yumm OOO!!”
7. What does your screen name mean? My screen name means; I stepped away from the league to complete my bachelor’s degree and obtain my master’s degree. I graduated from University of Phoenix. “That’s why I call myself; Phoenixgrad”
In conclusion: One thing I would like to see change in the league would be allowing emoji’s to be posted when conversating with the members.
I would also like to see “us” all get alone with each other. squash all the bickering.
“ If you, we, were that good, you should be playing this game for a living” That’s what pool sharks and poker players do” STOP being such a “chagrin”
I’m generally a affable person, But, when those who can’t stand for you to make a mistake, they make me, and other members become “vehemently”
