Re: AM I READING RIGHT?

Thank you. I don't want anyone to misunderstand me. I am in this for
the bet and it is worth it to me and I will win the bet. If the bet
was for 30 days then I'd win the bet in 30 days. I have no pretentions
of what it will take me to do this nor are there any moral boundaries.
It is simply a bet to pass a test. Win or lose. I get paid to win and
I do get paid. I'm not a betting man myself if you know what I mean.
It's like taking candy from a baby.
