Good morning Texans!
Nyah ha ha ha! We have a Winner! 
The Big Tex Happy Taco Stands of NewTexas has won the second round of BINGO and it looks like a Double Bingo! I have drawn lines over Big Tex’s Bingo card to indicate why this is a Double Bingo:

Congratulations for winning the second Bingo round Buddy! :)
Winners do not go away empty handed - They must win a prize and for winning a Double Bingo, your prize will be TWO cards from my deck of Trading Cards on my nations: 
Fort Verden, 
Elven King Thranduil and 
Little Thranduil. Except the cards in the Cards Gifted To Me By My Sons collection. Choose your prizes and I will send them to you Buddy!
Edit: 
The Randomness of Trecdom2 Buddy, please post your Bingo card too. Since you were working on getting a Double Bingo and might already have a Bingo, perhaps we have a runner up or second place winner this time. If that is the case, you will win a prize too Buddy.

Welcome to Texas:
The Royal Federation of Alterrum
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kudos Buddy! You have provided the best, most eye opening and mind altering argument I have seen anyone post on the RMB to justify their vote on my poll and I am unable to formulate any counter arguments.
Indeed. But…
My sons will never lose a couple months worth of allowance for making bad decisions. Whenever they want or need anything, I will pay for them to have the things they want or need as long as it is not unreasonable for them to have the items. From now on, I need to change my parenting style to enable my sons to learn to manage their own expenditures and learn any lessons they need to be taught about personal financial management before they grow up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to thank you all for praying for my health and recovery. :)
Have an absolutely fantastic day everyone!
Your buddy,

I've had Bingo for several days, was trying to get it both ways. Will post it this evening

The Texas Weekly Chat Session will be Saturday (TODAY) at High Noon Texas Time (CDT) ***Saturday***. And, if you can't be there right at Noon, that is Ok, Texas Chat usually runs 3, 4, 5 hours with some Chats running as high as 7 or 8 hours.

Texas Chat, 739 weeks and running! For the math-challenged, that is over 14½ years! Check it out! Good stuff!
Apparently, we did too Trec. We did not remember about the diagonal. Thanks, Verner! We will get back with you on those cards. ♫♫♫ A shopping we will go! ♪♪♪

That's good news Sir! I'm sure your family must be relieved to have you at home again. Please don't get so sick you end up in the ICU again. I've had relatives who were in the ICU and I've visited them and ICUs are awful places to be in. You said your heart feels like it is going to burst with joy. Can a heart actually burst and what'll happen to the person whose heart exploded?
Congratulations Sirs!

Emmett would like to congratulate Big Tex and Trecdom for winning the Bingo game. :)
Duncan Laurence from Netherlands wins Eurovision Song Contest 2019 with the song "Arcade". The Netherlands has won the contest five times, with Corry Brokken in 1957, Teddy Scholten in 1959, Lenny Kuhr in a four-way tie in 1969, Teach-In in 1975, Duncan Laurence in 2019. I'm not happy because Sweden didn't win. :(
Emmett is very happy for Verner and will continue to pray for Verner's heart to heal and get stronger. Verner, I don't want you to get sick again. You're a Dad and your sons needs you. You're a husband and your wife needs you too. So if you love your family you should take better care of yourself so you can continue to be around for them. :)

Meh Dude. As a gifted child, smart aleck and former prankster I've been called worse names in my short life. So...*Brushes off Emmett Arnarson like a mosquito.* Next time please call me a 31337 Noob instead of just Noob will ya? :p
Thanks for praying for my Dad and everyone in Texas including me and my family. I really appreciate your prayers.
That's so awesome!
Congratulations Big Tex Dude!
And Congratulations to you too Trecdom Dude!
I’m so happy to have my Dad back. But I feel very sad for him cause he went from being an extremely fit and healthy athletic person to a heart attack survivor in a short time at just 39 years old. And now our family has a history of heart disease it’ll affect me and my brothers. We now have an increased risk of getting heart disease. :(
I'd like to thank everyone in Texas who prayed for my Dad to get well. Y'all are awesome! :)
Vincent
Nyah ha ha ha! We have another Winner! The Randomness of Trecdom2 has won the second round of BINGO too and is the second place winner!
Congratulations for winning the second Bingo round Buddy! :)
Winners do not go away empty handed - They must win a prize. Your prize is a card from my deck of Trading Cards on my nations: Fort Verden, Elven King Thranduil and Little Thranduil. Except the cards in the Cards Gifted To Me By My Sons collection. Choose your prize and I will send it to you Buddy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Indeed.
I do not wish to become sick enough to wind up in the ICU again for the rest of my life buddy.
Indeed.
I have no idea whether a heart can actually burst or explode but my heart has felt like it was going to do that when it was beating hard on quite a number of occasions including when I participated in ultramarathon runs in the past and when I was experiencing my heart attacks. During my heart attacks I felt a squeezing, vicelike grip around my heart as well and therefore it felt like my heart was going to explode and being squeezed at the same time. It hurts like $%#&!
I am not a doctor but logically if someone’s heart exploded they will die.
Thank you for praying for me buddy! I will heed your advice.
Son, I am having an extremely difficult time adjusting to being a heart attack survivor but I am glad to be alive for you, your brothers and your Mom.
I am sorry my son. This is not the legacy I wished to pass down to you and your brothers :(
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to thank you all for praying for my health and recovery. :)
Goodnight everyone!
Your buddy,

Yes Talitha. :)
Nice to meet you too Reza. I’m Gilbert.
Gilbert. :)
Verner or buddy. Got it buddy. Verner, I’ll pray to God to bless your heart and help your damaged heart to make a full recovery with time. Look, I’ve just called you Verner and buddy. :)
Sir, every man deserves to be called a gentleman. It’s a a polite and formal way of referring to a man:. :)
Okay Emmett.
Okay Leia. :)
Robocop? I'm hiring him as my personal bodyguard. :p

Hi everyone!
Bingo Game: Congratulations to NewTexas and Trecdom2 for winning!
We’re extremely relieved and overjoyed to have Verner back home with us again and will do our best to help him adjust to life as a heart attack survivor.
Yes. It’s called a myocardial rupture, literally a bursting of the heart wall and a possible cause of death for people who initially survive a heart attack. It could also be caused by trauma. Whether the patient dies or could be saved by emergency surgery depends on the anatomical portion of the heart that has ruptured. Rupture of the free wall of the left or right ventricles will result in death. Rupture of the interventricular septum will cause a ventricular septal defect and rupture of a papillary muscle will cause acute mitral regurgitation and both of these could surgically repaired.
I love you too Vincent. *Hugs and kisses son*
So that’s why you quitted participating in ultra marathons and stuck to marathons. Verner my lord, you never informed me about this. That was an early warning sign that there’s something wrong with your heart. :(
Yes my lord, I’m overjoyed that you’ve returned home to us and I’ll do my best to take better care of you. I love you so very much and don’t want to lose you. *Hugs and kisses*
Verner has the ability to wake up promptly at 6:00 a.m. with or without an alarm clock. Yesterday morning, at around 6:00 a.m. I was woken up by my lord crying in bed. He said he had a nightmare where he had a 3rd heart attack and died and he was a ghost at his own funeral. After hugging and kissing my lord and telling him I love him, reassuring him that a 3rd heart attack won't happen and everything’s going to be fine, I asked him what I could do to make him feel better. He said he wanted to have lamb and turkey for breakfast. So after some grocery shopping for lamb and turkey, I made lamb and turkey burritos for our family's breakfast. Then he said he wanted to eat chicken and pork for lunch. I made some Hawaiian pizzas with chicken and pork for our lunch. When I was about to prepare dinner, he said he wanted to have lamb and beef for dinner. I had to go grocery shopping again and when I returned home I cooked a lamb, beef, broccoli and rice stir fry dish for the whole family.
This morning when he woke me up at 6:00 a.m., he surprised me by saying he wanted waffles with maple syrup for breakfast and he’ll make them. He made a large stack of waffles and that’s what our family ate for breakfast.
My lord’s requests highlights a problem I’ve wanted to fix for a long time: His dietary habits aren’t as healthy as it should’ve been for an Elite Endurance Athlete who was obsessed with keeping himself fit. I tried recipes for healthier meals and hoped my lord would like them but he didn't. Verner would eat some of what I cooked plus the fried chicken and mashed potatoes from KFC or a store bought pizza. When he bought fried chicken and mashed potatoes from KFC or a pizza from a pizza parlour, he would always buy enough for the whole family. I’m sorry I didn’t try harder to change his dietary habits. Our sons prefer to eat the same things their Dad enjoyed eating and I can see a problem developing in the future. I found some new healthy recipes and I’m going to do my best to change my family’s dietary habits to prevent Verner from having a 3rd heart attack and our sons from developing heart disease unexpectedly like their Dad.
My lord taught our sons and I how to use spoiler tags. I’m sorry for making long posts in the past and will try to shorten my posts.
Leia
Mom! Please stop calling me baby in public. I’m not a baby anymore and it’s embarrassing! :(

Good morning Texans!

As I have previously announced, the winners of Round Two are:
First place with a Double Bingo: The Big Tex Happy Taco Stands of NewTexas
Second place with a Bingo: The Randomness of Trecdom2
I am still waiting for the winners to choose their prizes so I can send it to them. :)
We will take a break from BINGO today and the new third round will begin tomorrow.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have fun shopping for your prizes from my collections Big Tex my Buddy!
Thank you buddy!
I am sorry Leia my love. I should have informed you that my heart felt like it was going to explode when I ran in ultramarathons. From now on I will inform you whenever I feel ill and you can take immediate action to diagnose my health problem and heal me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen of Texas,
I have been in critical condition and ended up in the ICU on life support three times in my life now. The first time was when I was a ten years old boy and my drunk and abusive Dad tried to end my life. The second and third times were due to my first and second heart attacks this year as an adult. I do not wish to wind up in the ICU on life support again for as long as possible and preferably for the rest of my life. Therefore should you be able to continue praying for my health and recovery, your prayers will be greatly appreciated not just by me but by my family as well. I would like to thank you all for praying for my health and recovery. :)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit:
Request fulfilled Buddy!
I messed up on the poll description when I attempted to include Boozylvania's quote above in it and it did not show up as a quoted message in the poll description. Therefore I recreated my poll to fix the problem. The poll is based on the information found here:
https://theculturetrip.com/north-america/usa/texas/articles/the-10-best-craft-breweries-in-texas/
For more information about each of the breweries, please visit the link above.
I am a teetotaler and therefore I am unable to vote in my own poll. Nyah ha ha ha! :)

Have an absolutely fantastic day everyone!
