This is such a hard message to post,but I wnated to tell all the friends that I have met here over the years how much I have appreciated being able to spend time with you all.
Some of the people that were very important to me and to this club are no longer with us, but that doesn't mean that I will miss them any less.
Many of you saw me through a very serious illness and I cannot tell you how much your caring meant to me and my family. I don't know what I would have done suring those long months of recuperation without having the rourney room to come to and forget my troubles for a while.
I have so many great memories to look back on and I know that I will miss you all very much.
I would like to thank the many hosts we have had over the years for their commitment to this club.
I want to say a special thanks to Debh for being my partner all this time, you are a great player Debh.
I have come to regard many of you as family and how do you say goodbye to a member of your family.
I can only wish you all Good Health, Happiness and of course Good Cards.
See you around the web ( I hope).

Gothe once said on relatioships:

"The world's so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers, and cities; but to know someone here and there who thinks and feels with us and who though distant is close to us in spirit this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden."

The IPC has various forms of relationships that no-one wanted to end. It's not ending now, just taking on a new form of direction. Many have made life time friends, YOU CANNOT GET MUCT BETTER THAN THAT. For I believe that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.

I will miss the true IPC Friends, and I do look forward to IPC Friends Special Tourneys and Reunions. Thank you all for allowing me to be a part of your life in someway and one of your hostesses. I'm thankful for all the friends I've made, and met, not only in pin but also in Hearts. I look forward and hope to meet many of you

This is not goodbye its just understanding that friends are changing.
With a special fondness for all

Hi to you all, I just want to say how sorry I am that this GREAT CLUB will be shutting down. I can still remember the first time I came into Igames I think it was 4 short years ago. You all made me feel so welcomed in the room, I deciced to stay and play awhile, I want to thank all the great people I have met and I have been blessed that all of you have touched my life. I have so many memories of this place that it's so hard to say good bye. I hope that we all will stay in touch and still be apart of each other lives as we all move on. I would like to thank all committee memebers for working togeather to keep IPC going as long as we could. We had some bumpy times but we all stuck togeather and made it work. I want to thank all the hosts for their long hours of work, and sometimes it was job but all hosts did a wonderful job at keeping their composure and letting some players get to them. But most of all I want to say Thank you to all of you for all the best times we have had over the years. May God Bless you all.

Hello all my good friends,
I just heard about the cancellation of Igamers Pinochle Club last night, and although not terribly shocked, I sure hope that the people who run Igames realize what a hugh mistake they are making in allowing so many great people to find another place to play and have fun. Just a little co-operation on their part would have prevented this and stopped the disbanding of our family, for this I will never forgive them.
On a nicer note.....
Please all keep in touch, I'm sure I'll probably run into most of you at other sites (Mystic, Iplay). It would be my pleasure and honor to keep all of you as friends in the future. You are all GREAT people and players and I will miss all the fun and superb games that I have been a part of for 3 years or so. Just knowing you all has made me a better person. Thank you all so very much for everything and hope to see you all around the web.Thank you also to all the host and anyone who had anything to do with the Igamers Pinochle Club....YOU ALL HAVE SUCEEDED IN YOUR QUEST TO BE #1.
Greatfully submitted,
Gerry Laferriere (wannanap@comcast.net)

July 4th"

This is a day when we know we are free
We can live as we want, yes you and me.

But let us remember, that a price had been paid
Many who fought for us lay in an unknown grave...

So let's stay safe and enjoy this day with friends,
Knowing that freedom, for us, has no ends.

Smile at that flag as it hangs there with pride
We, who are free, never having to hide.

Bring it in with a bang and yell and a shout
But remember to put all those camp fires out


Have a safe and happy holiday ...please take time to remember what this day is all about ....

sorry guys this took me a couple of days of tears and depression. for those who dont know me i am an old ipc insane member. for those who do know me remember the times when during game or waiting for tourney you could hear lu and i singing together having fun and coming out with the most hilliarious verses. the fact that i could not be there at that time has really struck me hard. I had never met lu in rl but i always counted him as a friend and someone who i could have fun with. so for you lu i will keep up our singing and silly verses for if you were here as i have come back i know you would do the same on my first night back. some may think it is ridiculous unless you had been there.

sorry for yattering this has just upset me alot

Pup said to tell you all how much she appreciates the cards and pnone calls that she has been receiving. She is doing well with her therapy, but is still a couple of weeks away from getting home. Since she lives alone she has to be able to function for herself there. Thanks for all the good wishes for her, I know how much that can mean to know that people that you have never met face to face care enough to take time to remember you.

I want to ask everyone to add their memories or thoughts to the journal for Lu. Babydoll chose such a great journal to send around for that purpose, the artwork is lovely and so appropriate. Just let babydoll know that you would like to enter something into the journal and you will be put on the list of people to receive it and all you have to do when you are through is mail it to the person next in line. It is being sent in a flat fee priority envelope at a cost of $3.85, so there is not a lot of packaging or cost involved. I just got through sending it off to the next person after me and I want you all to know that you will feel a little better for recognizing the loss we feel.
I feel strongly that it will be a loving tribute for Lu's family.

Here I am, a grown man of 65, with tears pouring down my cheeks over someone I never really met. LuLiz was the kind of person I think we all want to know in this world cause he just had the special something that brought a little more joy into our lives and hearts. Now whenever I hear do-be-do-be-do, I will not think of Sinatra, but of Lu. And of course a warm smile will come over my face and my heart. I was so very happy to hear he passed peacefully and at home with his loved ones. Sometimes playing games on line causes problems and "discussions" but when you meet someone like Lu, it makes it all worth it. One of my greatest sorrows from leaving IPC was not being able to joke around with him anymore. I, for one, will never forget him and will always be indebted to IPC for allowing me to meet him. My sincerest condolences to his "home" family and please add my love to his memory from the IPC family. Take good care of him God and save a seat at his table in case I am lucky enough to be his partner in a pinochle game someday. You were simply awesome Lu. Pinoanyone.

Hi.... The services for Luliz is going to be held on Saturday March 29th(Luliz was cremated on Tuesday). I have purchased a rose bush and will present it to the family to plant in Luliz's memory and the card will be signed from his IPC and Pinochle Family. I have been collecting contributions from his online friends for a donation to The Hospice. Checks for that should be made out to The Connecticut Hospice and those checks I will also deliver to the Hospice.

Also, I purchased a Journal and it is being sent to anyone wishing to personally sign it. If you would like to be included in this send me your home address with your Nickname and real name and I will have a list so that whoever gets this journal last will have someone to forward it to. So please remember when you get this journal email me and I can give you a name to send it to. I have included instructions with this journal. My email is babydoll54@aol.com. When this task is completed(which will take a long time) this will be presented to Luliz's family as a everlasting keepsake.

thanks

The following is quoted from an email from LuLiz's son:

I'm sending this email to those people in my Dad's address book to inform everyone that Dad has passed on. On Sat 3/22 about 2:55, Dad left us after spending this last week in bed and being kept very comfortable. He died at home, which was his wish, and passed very peacefully from our mortal lives. I know that many of you share very special moments and memories of Dad and will miss him greatly. He touched many lives and will be remembered and missed by us all.
Dad's illness has effected quite a toll on Mom, Rita his wife, and she is presently hospitalized recuperating from her own deteriorating health issues. We expect she will be hospitalized for few days and upon her release and well being, we will conduct a funeral mass to put some closure on Dad's life.
It is with heavy heart that I send this email message, but I know that there are so many people that have inquired and have been very concerned with how Dad has been doing.
Take comfort in the fact that he is now at peace.....gone from our lives, but forever in our hearts...................Ray Lizotte
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
LULIZ will be greatly missed by ALL of us here at IPC and I for one will continue to "pray Lu into heaven". I am very sure he walks with the angels as I write these words....do be do be do my friend.....

I want to encourage everyone to let our young men and women of the Military know that we are all praying for them and want them home safey and as soon as possible.
Regardless of your personal opinion of this war, they do need to know that we are behind them. I have a cousin that has been deployed and he asked his mother what the people here thought about them, his father had been in Viet Nam and he hopes that they will not be treated the way the Vet Nam Vets were treated when they came home.
So, even though we may feel that they should know we support them, we have to acknowledge the sacrifice they are making and show our gratitude in what ever way we can.
My heartfelt sympathy and prayers to anyone who has a loved one at risk, I know how hard this can be on the family having been in this position myself. I can only say that you have the prayers of the country with you. GOD BLESS AND KEEP ALL OF OUR MILITARY SAFE.

Robi is back in the hospital(she was admitted on Tuesday October 8th and grrrrrrr I didn't find out until Friday the 11th). Seems her incision got infected and she was running a 103 temperature. I talked with her husband Stan yesterday and he said they are giving her heavy doses of antibodics and she was sleeping. Her temperature did come down. If all goes well she should be out of the hospital on Tuesday or Wednesday. Please continue to keep her in your prayers.

Hi All.. I received this email from Luliz's son Jeff and wanted to share it with you all.....

Terry,

Dad is deteriorating as is expected but he keeps his sense of humor and flirts with all the nurses and aides. We met as a family over the weekend and that seemed to improve his spirits a bit. He is having difficulty distinguishing what is real from what he may have dreamed.

My daughters set him up with a brand new notebook computer on Sunday and he was thrilled. After attempting to write email, however, he told me there is so much commotion in his room and elsewhere that he cannot concentrate enough to be able to write much of anything at all. I brought the notebook home as he requested today. He asked me to write to you for him to make sure everyone knows how much he appreciates their friendship and prayers for a restful sleep.

I will continue to keep you posted.

Blessings,

T

I`ll start w/apersonal story: in 1977 my mother contracted cancer, I swore she`d not see her 78 th birthday, during treatment she had a reaction to the radiation, kinda like a stroke. two days after this her brother died, of a stroke. about three weeks later as she was getting better i took her down to the coffee shop, we were on the elevator, she said do you have something you want to tell me. I said no I can`t think of a thing, she said well maybe there is something you should tell me, I said gee mom can`t think of thing. the elevator stopped, the door opened, and I thought boy am out of this one. Well she turned the wheel chair around and said why didn`t you tell me uncle Art died.? I said well mom you had enough troubles of your own. and asked her who told her, she said "he did: it was two days after I got so sick, he came to the foot of my bed , and said well sis I had a stroke, and am gone, but don`t worry I am fine. And no

matter what they say, you hang in there,everythings going to be ok. Well they were giving her six months of quality life, and a year at the outside, she went home and worked for two years, and I had her in a nursing home here for 4 more .she passed away at 83 .The six months turned into 6 years, so here`s gods work in progress, this true, and believe me I know there is a life here after. you are in my prayers always,and hope to see you there, humm a few bars for me then , your friend Blindman Joe

LULIZ: What a wonderful, wonderful gentle and kind man your are. While I never met you in person, I feel like I know just from the time I have been in Igames. So much joy you bring to those in igames, and I can imagine the joy you have brought to your family, friends, and other loved ones. Strange you mention butterflies, I love butterflies. In our Native American Legends we have a basic legend of the butterfly, here is what it is:

If you have a secret wish, capture a butterfly and whisper the wish to the butterfly. Since butterflies cannot speak your wish is secure in her safekeeping. Release the butterfly and she will carry your wish to the Great Spirit, who alone discerns the secrets locked within a butterfly. By setting the butterfly free, you are helping restore the balance of nature, and therefore your wish will be granted.

For you my wonderful igames friend I will capture a butterfly and make a very special wish just for you, and I know our great spirit will hear me.

Helen Keller once stated, "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched...but are felt in the heart." You my dear LULIZ...truly have a BEAUTIFUL HEART.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Keep smiling and keep singing.

With great fondness --Evening Star

Hi Hon,

I was so sorry to see that you are no longer able to take care of yourself the way that you would like, and I know that was a hard decision for you and your family to make.

You are such a dear man and I know that you will be missed so much by everyone that has ever known you. You are the kind of person that slips into someones heart without them even sensing that it is happening, one day you are just there. I know this is true, because that is what happened to me.
We have never met, yet I feel as if a member of my family is hurting and I can do nothing but offer my prayers for you.
I can't say good-bye so it has to be "see you later, Hon". Better take the cards with you and keep a chair waiting at the table.

Love You

Lu you sweet darling man, I know how difficult it must have been for you to go to the Hospice and leave the loving warmth of home.....but as usual, you are thinking of others and their comfort. Your message brought tears to my eyes and I feel as though a dear friend is going on a long trip. While I never had the pleasure of meeting you in person, I still feel connected and will miss you greatly. I will never look at a penny or a butterfly again without thinking of you, dear Lu! I was so glad that "cc" let me pard with you last Sunday (we were fighting over you...lol). Please drop me a line if you feel up to it at indyqtpie@aol.com. I will continue to look for you to surprise us by popping in to play. Keep "teddy" close by, he will give you the hugs I am thinking of..... You are always in my prayers. Luv, **Swan**

Hi .. Received this from Luliz yesterday via email and wanted to share it with all of you. Luliz is.. and always will be a big part of the Igamers Club.

And I quote:

October 16.2003

Hello Everyone:.......I'm writing this misty eyed and with a heavy heart because I feel I'm saying good bye to my wife, family and dearest friends.

I'll probably be going to the Hospice in a day or two, or whenever a bed is available there for me.......I hate to leave my home 'but everything I do here, to help myself, has become a burden and I hate to ask my dear wife to do anything for me.......She would gladly do it, but I feel like I'm putting the cross on her if I ask her to help me....After all, she's a few years older than me and also needs her rest.

Last night, was a deciding factor.....I was a little cold in bed and a little hungry......It was 2 am.....I didn't have enough incentive to dress properly and warm myself a nice glass of milk.......would have been too much of an effort.....


Paperwork and such is being prepared for my admitance to the Hospice......It's up to me to let em know when I'm ready and as soon as a bed is available, it's mine.

I've prepared another Puter to take with me but I don't know if I'll ever get to use it......I do have all the extra addresses I need to get in touch if the opportunity ever arises. I surely will try to get to say HI to all my great friends in the Pinochle and golfing world.

When I do leave, my oldest son Jeffrey, will let Babydoll know about it so you can switch email addresses......my new email address then will be luliz55@msn.com Please do not reply to this present address because I may not see it.

As an afterthought,....If you ever see a penny laying on the ground.......pick it up.....cause it will be reminder from me that I saw you......Feel free to call em 'PENNIES FROM HEAVEN'........Or if you ever see a Monarch Butterfly flying around..... that will be me in disguise...... keeping an eye on you.

I love you all, remember that, and I will have my friends, son and daughters in Heaven help me to ease all your tribulations on earth.

Love you, Lucien (alias) Luliz

Hi All:....Being ill kinda limits my walking and activities so I had a technician come in and fix the lavotory in the master bedroom so it would be more convenient for me.....Now, 10 measly slow shuffling half steps gets me right to the edge of my bed.....I'm not addicted to the machine, I just don't want to lose touch with the outside world.

By the way, this is genuine leather that you're seeing...I also have my puter programmed so that by holding down the Windows key and pressing the H (for heat) key....the seat warms up.....nice touch huh?....I also programmed the puter to ring a bell at certain times to remind me to take my medications....when the bell rings....I hit a key and a tray (not shown in the photo) swings out from the left and presents me with my meds.....Also, on the right is a tray that swings out for my wife to place my meal on....but I don't use that one very often....I do manage to get up and join her at the dinner table......gives us a chance to say HELLO to each other and have a little quality time.

This is working out so well that I have decided to patent the whole thing......so any of you potential heirs to my fortune in the making.....had better be nice to me.....grin.



Love you all....................Lucien

1. Create a signature or have one created for you.

2. Upload your signature to YOUR personal webspace. There are sites that will allow you webspace to upload images for this purpose but many that will not. NOTE: IPC has webspace at Geocities.com and they are one of those sites who will NOT.

3. Type your code in this window below your typed message and the "Message Board" will go and grab your picture from your webspace and post it.


Code is always surrounded with one of these ( < ) without the parenthesis to start your code and the reverse ( > ) also without the parenthesis to finish your code.


The code you will type is:


img src="http://www.addy of webspace/imagename.gif"


Don't forget to surround the above code with the < 's I described above or you will see your code posted and not your image. I cannot type it here to show you because if I did you would see my image and not my code.


I hope those instructions are clearer than mud and if you have any problems or questions please feel free to post them. I promise I will answer all posts on this subject lol.

Thank God its over! I just received a call from Robi's mom who is with her in Arkansas. Robi did fine with the surgery and the Doctors have a good feeling. Robi will still have to have chemo treatments for the next year. Shortie has a long healing process ahead of her not only with her body but with her mind.. and knows that we are all here to help her through this.

I will keep you updated as I know something. But hopefully when Robi gets home she will update us all.

Hi Lu, I hope that you enjoyed your birthday party last night and that you know how much everyone thinks of you. We sent a lot of virtual gifts to you last night, but the real gift was for the members and it was just that you were there with us. One more thing, I have to say, I am sorry that I was in part responsible for your elimination. :) We really did want you to be able to stay longer. Again hon, best wishes from all of us.

Hi... shortnsweet aka Robi Darr Fleming my best bud is undergoing a double mastectomy this Tuesday, August 27th at 7:30am. For the past 4 months, maybe more, Robi has been going for extensive chemo treatments. She has been through hell and so far has made it. Please keep Robi in your prayers, she really needs them. I need her back to her ole self, I really miss that.

If you want you can send her a get well wish either by email or her home address. Her email is robi@arkansas.net and her home address is 1522 Bracy Road, Little Rock, AR 72206. I did ask her before I am posting this if it was ok.

Please pass this on to those that do not visit this message board so that the word can get to all that need to know.

Thanks a bunch!

A PRAYER FOR YOU LULIZ

I said a prayer for you today
And I know God must have heard
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke no word.

I didn't ask for wealth or fame
(I knew you wouldn't mind)
I asked him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind!

I asked that He'd be near you
At the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way.

I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small,
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all.

Subject: Bidder Out


Author:
pinoanyone
[ Edit | View ]

Date Posted: 10:01:01 07/29/02 Mon

Hi all,
I would like to express a change I would like to see incorporated in our games. I would like to see "bidder goes out" as the rule for games where both opponents go over the limit, whether it be 250, 300, 350 or 500. What this means is if you take the bid on the final hand and you exceed the game limit, your team wins egardless of what the opponent has for a final score. I feel this adds more challenge to the game. Teams would push the envelope to get that last bid when the game is close. It also can prevent a team from winning just on meld alone, something I feel most good pinochle players dislike. (That is the reason I left Flipside...meld won those games, not skill in play.) It also keeps the game interesting and challenging when one opponent may have a score of 240 in a 250 game and the other opponent only has something like 180. If the 180 team takes the bid and gets over 250, they win, regardless if the 240 team simply saves and goes over 250. This would make the 240 team remain competitive instead of just coasting out. It is the way I have always played the game in real life. I think if enough people agree, Babydoll and the group would change the rule. I could be wrong, but I hope not. Like to hear your comments. Thanks.

Subject: Boot rule


Author:
Pinoanyone
[ Edit | View ]

Date Posted: 10:11:44 07/29/02 Mon

Hi all,
I would like to suggest a change to the boot rule. As it stands now, as I understand it, if a person gets booted, nobody goes set and opponent team gets to keep its meld. It also counts as a hand played unless it was a glich by Igames. The problem as I see it with this rule is if you see you are going to go set, say your bid was 75 and you realize there is no way you are going to make it, it is advantageous for one of the two players to boot themself, thereby eliminating going back the 75 points. I know. You are all going to say you don't think it happens in here. I am sorry but I have to disagree. Admittedly, I can't prove what I think but that is why I would like to see the rule changed. I feel if you have not saved your bid and there is a boot, bidder goes set. Most likely the feeling is why should the player have to suffer for Igames problems. Well I don't feel Igames boots that often. At other sites I have played at, the rule was you went set. At the descretion of the Host, if it is a particularly active night of boots by igames, Host can relax the rule. Anyway, it is just another way I feel we can control any cheating if there is any. I am sure cheaters will find another way if they want to win that bad, but at least we could eliminate this method. My gut says this will not be adopted. Too many nice people in this club which is what makes it such a good club. But the one or two cheaters will be happy. And I have no names so don't bother to ask.

ATTENTION PLAYERS!!! The new version of Igames must be downloaded and installed on your computer in order for you to continue to play in IPC Tournaments. We have an active link on our website that will take you to the new Igames location for the download.

Igames has changed servers and with the old version you are unable to enter into the IPC Club Rooms. I have done the download and installed the upgrade, as have other players, and did not run into any problems. If you have any questions I can be reached on AIM under LilTrampUSA and I will be more than happy to help you in any way I can.

AGAIN!!! You MUST download and install the new version of Igames. There is NO CHOICE in this matter.

Hope to see you online AND playing again this evening.

Hi Babydoll, Star, and Trampster... (hehe),
I just wanted to thank you three for your comments on my opinion of the boot rule as it stands. You haven't changed my mind. I still think my suggestion is better. But like someone said, this is not rocket science. It is only a card game. And like you said Star, if people want to cheat, there are many ways they can do it. But thanks for your responses. At least it lets me know your thoughts on the matter. Trampster, I must admit though that I would rather take on chance on losing all that meld in your example due to a computer boot than have a cheater boot. I like my odds better with the computer... But I see your side of the picture. I would add here too that I have only had a couple of permanent partners since I have been playing on line, (in more sites than just igames), and if any of them had ever suggested we cheat, I would have found a new partner. Thankfully, none of them have. Just not worth it. Now just don't start booting people for telling stupid jokes.....

Hey Lu.... Yeehawwww! There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight cause "LuLu'" back in town. Now maybe Tramp will let my wonderfully tasteful endeavors at humor navigate their way in to this domain. So here is one of those attempts Lu...
It is 3 a.m. in the morning and it is raining cats and dogs outside. There is a knock on the door and the husband goes downstairs to answer it. When he opens the door, he sees a drunk barely standing there, soaking wet.
"What do you want?" asks the husband.
"Can you give me a push?" says the drunk.
"Are you crazy? It is the middle of the night. No, I am not going to give you a push," and he slams the door.
Once back in bed, his wife asks, "Who was it?"
"Oh just some drunk that was asking me for a push. I told him no and shut the door."
"Seems to me you have a short memory. Don't you remember last month when we were stuck and those two nice young boys came over and gave us a push with their truck?"
Feeling guilty, the drunk went downstairs and yelled out, "OK mister. I'll give you that push. Where are you?"
"I'm over here on the swing."

Hi hon,
I sure am missing your crooning. Tell them they better treat you right or they will have to answer to a lot of irate i-gamers. And I think that treating you right might mean a lobster dinner or two....LOL Maybe you can play gin for that lobster, I know you would win, but try to get them to give you a a few points in advance......:)) By the way I want you to know I have a new Granddaughter, her name is Grace and my husband has already tagged her with a nick, Amazing Grace. :))I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

I received an email from Luliz's son Jeff this afternoon and he informed me that Luliz is elated today that the tube has finally been removed from his collapsed lung. The doctors believe that its smaller size is the way that it will remain, like an underinflated balloon. He's been through quite an ordeal with this contraption but today has re-energized him and lifted his spirits. He is now cleared for Hospice and should be admitted there soon.

As soon as he is moved I will let you all know. Please keep those cards going out to Luliz, as I have said he does look forward to them and does lift his spirits. When he is moved from the Milford Hospital they will forward the cards.

Thanks

Hi .. I visited Luliz in the hospital today. He looked great.. much better than last week when I saw him. His appetite is back.. eating burgers and milkshakes lol.

I did try to get him connected to igames with one of the hospitals computers but they use Windows NT server and that alone made it an impossibility. He was disappointed but understands.

He has been receiving cards from everyone and when he talks about them he has tears in his eyes.. happy tears. So please keep those cards coming.. it gives him something to look forward to. If you have already sent one.. send him another one.. if you haven't sent him one .. he is waiting for it :) The address is
Mr. Lucian (LuLiz) Lizotte
Milford Hospital
300 Seaside Avenue
Room 333, Bed 2
Milford, CT 06460

Thanks a bunch!
