It's the time of year when people start reflecting on their lives and giving thanks. I wish I had the time to type out and detail everything I thankful for, I can't. I have food on the stove and folks at the house.
So here is a quick vlog about what I'm thankful for...Enjoy the holiday :-)
I'm not a big game show fan because I am not a big risk taker; small risks I will take. Some would disagree with this statement because I took the ultimate risk when I purchased a townhome with my then fiance three years ago. On NBC there is a show entitled Deal or No Deal. On this show the game revolves around the opening of a set of numbered briefcases, each of which contains a different cash amount. The contents, cash value, of all of the cases are known at the start of the game, but the specific location of any dollar amount is unknown. The contestant selects a case to begin the game. The case's value is not revealed until the conclusion of the game.
The contestant then begins choosing cases that are to be removed from play. The amount inside each chosen case is immediately revealed; by process of elimination, the amount revealed cannot be inside the case the contestant initially selected. Throughout the game, after a predetermined number of cases have been opened, the banker offers the contestant an amount of money to quit the game, the offer based roughly on the amounts remaining in play and the contestant's demeanor, the bank tries to 'buy' the contestant's case for a lower price than what's inside the case. The player then answers the titular question, choosing:
"Deal", accepting the offer presented and ending the game, or
"No Deal", rejecting the offer and continuing the game.
Well a few weeks ago, while visiting my townhome in Bowie, the ex-fiance offered me a deal to buy me out of the house. Of course I don't agree with his deal; I think he is trying to get over on me....BIG TIME! On the other hand, at least he offered me something. For the last 18 months his offer has been nothing!
Those months an discussions have been filled with anger, frustration, heart ache, threats, blood, and LOTS of tears. I'm honestly tired of playing this game with him. The mental impact is taking its toll on me. It almost seems that regardless of my decision, I'm getting screwed.
Now I feel like the contestant standing in front of the red button. If I smash the button, then I am taking the deal. If I cover it up, I'm passing and holding out for something better. Time is ticking and I have to make a decision.....Deal or no deal!
Just for laughs......Def not trying to end up like them, lol
