I still like the game, it's a totally classless "sport" that combines drinking with sociable laughs and the minimum of equipment. You do have to remember those "outs" though, it's not all supping and following-through

Although you gave her the opportunity to go with you, and she declined, she probably feels jealous or betrayed in some way that you are leaving her behind. I know that's not fair but that's probably how she sees it. I'm not very good at the psycho-analysis stuff and I know it runs a lot deeper than that, but it's difficult to try to understand what drives people to do what they do.
Remember, if you want a rave or blow off some steam, I'm here...

Hi DD,
I understand what your saying,
I assumed with things being quiet for so long that Sam was just getting on with her life,Taking a step back from her has been the hardest thing i have ever done in my life,i took a chance hoping it would bring her back to her senses,I have tried to be as open with Sam as i could,we had a great mother,daughter relationship,I had Sam when i was sixteen
!! i was dam sure i was going to rear my daughter without the restraints my mum put on me as a child & i did a dam good job until now that is.Away back at the begining of this year we thought by October ish time we would have our visa & would be getting prepared to go before xmas,Sam was originally on our application so she was well aware of our plans because at this time she was still coming with us.
I think now she is sitting thinking its just a matter of time & maybe reality is sinking in that her mum is really going,so yes she must feel jealous,the fact that she has trashed a fantastic opportunity whether now or in the future for someone of her age & betrayed by the fact that the one person who has stood by her through thick & thin has turned her back on her.

My favourite was Ted "the count" though. He would come on stage with a cape and throw novely plastic vampire bats into the crowd. The look on his face was as if he didn't really want to do it but some World Darts marketing guys had put him up to it!! I wonder what would happen if someone got injured by one of the flying bats??
Peter "One Dart" Manley always looks an irritable sod too, I remember one World champs when the crowd started to get on his back, he looked like he'd wade in there and kill 'em. Might've done the ratings a favour too ...
There's a lesson there, don't have a silly nickname you can't like up to - like the Alan "Iceman" Warriner, he always looks like he's on the edge of the nervous breakdown.

Ok we're going off on tangents here - what is this Karma about? I'm the new cool cat and have calmed down. This is a serious question as it really gets to me as I believe that this site is very informative and helpful - most of the time!
What is the point in this Karma Krap?!
By the way, thanks to everyone for their kind words re my apology - really meant a lot and hope we can move on from here on this site. Cheers!
