mail, not to mention to and from our computers. \u00c2\u00a0 Transfering the messages was a little harder because we&#8217;d never even attempted to do it before.\u00c2\u00a0 We went through the motions of importing but neither Dave nor Brian could figure out the source folder.\u00c2\u00a0 They both gave up pretty easily and resigned themselves to the tedious task of forwarding all those emails (hundreds of them) that they had saved over time and just retrieving them on the new pc.\u00c2\u00a0 Never one to give up easily, I kept digging.\u00c2\u00a0 I finally found the source folder on the old pc.\u00c2\u00a0 So we tried again.\u00c2\u00a0 Brian who sometimes has doubts about my abilities (but I can&#8217;t blame him because I act like a dumb blonde most of the time) goes, &#8220;If this works, I&#8217;ll be really impressed.&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 Under normal circumstances I would&#8217;ve replied, &#8220;Prepare to be impressed then!&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 But, as I&#8217;d never done it before, I wasn&#8217;t too confident about the process either.\u00c2\u00a0 Dave goes, &#8220;It this works she&#8217;s getting a really big hug.&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 Guess what, I got the hug!<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for now, I have to get back to playing UB.\u00c2\u00a0 I lost $88,000 goofing off at one of the 100-200 tables one night and now I&#8217;m back to the kiddle tables.\u00c2\u00a0 Brian had a really good night last night and got up to almost $300,000.\u00c2\u00a0 We also figured out how to transfer funds between players.\u00c2\u00a0 He gave me $50,000 so that I could play with him at one of the 500-1000 tables but I lost it all on ONE hand!\u00c2\u00a0 He gave me another $10,000 just now but I blew threw that pretty quickly too.\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;m going to have to work on getting more playchips myself from now on because Brian won&#8217;t give me any more money!\u00c2\u00a0 See you all in UB!\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We went swimming at Andy&#8217;s yesterday.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a blast, specially since we spent more time swimming than usual.\u00c2\u00a0 Of course, since I don&#8217;t know how to swim and can barely keep myself afloat, it thoroughly wore me out.\u00c2\u00a0 It gave my body a major workout.\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;m yo-yoing between 108 and 110 lbs these days.\u00c2\u00a0 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[6,10,16],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=93"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=93"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=93"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=93"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
