I think Knockerlover has the right idea, meet other pinheads and see if there is a league near you. That should fulfill your Pinball needs until you get back on your feet again. Also stop trading games so much when you get one. You aren’t dumb though and you actually seem like a pretty cool guy. We all make mistakes and bad deals. I know I’ve made my share of them through life and still do sometimes. The key is though to learn from your mistakes and become a better person from them. If you keep repeatedly making dumb mistakes then you are dumb but as long as you try and do better you’re not dumb.
