Before trying to know how to play billiard you must know..
The Rules of BilliardsBy: Dachary Carey
The
rules of billiards aren't hard and fast; they vary depending on the
venue and what game is being played. However, some pool game rules are
pretty standard, so familiarity with these rules can help you get off on
the right foot wherever you play.
Always Hit the Cue Ball
This may seem obvious to experienced billiard players, but novices may not realize that you can only hit the cue ball to move the other balls around. An inexperienced pool player might walk right up to a table and hit a random ball, but that isn't a legal play. You can only strike the cue ball with the tip of the pool cue.
Failure to Hit a Ball Is a Foul
When you shoot the cue ball and fail to hit the object ball or the bumpers, it's called a foul. A scratch is also considered a foul, as is hitting the wrong ball when playing a game that requires you to hit the object balls in sequence. When you foul, it becomes your opponent's turn to shoot.
Scratches
If the cue ball follows an object ball into the pocket or ends up in a different pocket, it's called a scratch. If the cue ball leaves the table entirely, it's also a scratch. A scratch is a type of foul. Your turn is over, and it's your opponent's turn to shoot. In most sets of rules, a scratch forces you to put an already pocketed ball back on the table, leaving you at a disadvantage.
Ball in Hand
The concept of a ball in hand can be tricky. Technically, when a player fouls, the opponent gets the ball in hand. This means that the opponent can place the ball on the table in a position that's advantageous to him or her. The idea of a ball in hand is to eliminate intentional fouls.
When the ball is in hand, the player can only place it behind the head string; which is behind the second diamond from the from the end of the table, opposite the object ball, which must be located beyond the head string. The ball is considered in hand until the player hits the cue ball with the pool cue. That means that the player can move the ball again once it's placed on the table, until he puts the ball in play by striking it with the pool cue.
Called-Shot Games Have Specific Rules
If you're playing a called-shot game, the shooting player must call the shot before he or she strikes the cue ball with the pool cue. Calling a shot does not require detail, but the player must indicate which ball he or she intends to hit into which pocket.
Common-Sense Rules
While general rules can get very specific about fouls, scratches and the like, some common sense rules apply too. For example, you cannot take a shot while any balls are moving. You cannot touch the cue ball or any object ball prior to taking a shot. When you strike a cue ball, it's considered contact, even if you were taking a practice shot and didn't intend to strike the ball.
While general pool game rules apply to most billiards games, some variations include specific rules about the order in which you can hit balls, resulting in penalties for hitting the wrong ball or hitting a ball out of order. Most games also have pool table rules, such as where you can position the ball when your opponent scratches, or even that you must have one foot on the ground when you make a shot. When playing a variant, make sure you understand all the rules or you could find yourself losing.

Single Mom Diaries (My Story)
We all grew up believing the fairy tale: You meet Mr. Right, and soon
after, start having kids. But what if he never comes along? What if
things don't go as planned and time starts running out? How strong you are for being a Single Parent?
I have a Son. Her father and I were unable to work through our issues. I love being a single mom. To watch a child grow and blossom is more rewarding than forcing yourself to be in a destructive relationship. I love my son more than life and I'm so fortunate to have him. I want to provide him with the life I feel he deserves. Sometimes I wish I could find someone to share my life with and have a real family, but I treasure every day that I have alone with my son because I know that we will always have an amazing bond.Honestly my son and I have been on our own from the beginning. I went throught the pregnancy alone.. depressed but accepting of my fate. My son will grow up to be an INCREDIBLE human being.. he will not be undermined just because he came from a "single person home". He will get strength from it and it will show him that woman are capable of great feats in life.. hopefully avoiding the sinkholes of some pampared girls. I am a single mom.. and I am proud to be able to put food on my table.. to pay my rent.. and to be able to put money aside for my son so one day he can get a university education. I have great aspirations for him..i still see his father every now and then.
Being a single mom has brought me in touch with my inner strength and made me see how strong my son is. I do get lonely, and I do wish to find a man ideal for myself and my son but at the same time I relish our bonding time. There was an amazing man in our lives at one time but he chose to leave both me and my son which wounded us both deeply. Im scared to ever introduce anyone to him again.

JustME
About justme_jess ;)
I am a person who is positive about every aspect of life. There are many
things I like to do, to see, and to experience. I like to read, I like to
write; I like to think, I like to dream; I like to talk, I like to listen.
I like to see the sunrise in the morning, I like to see the moonlight at
night; I like to feel the music flowing on my face, I like to smell the
wind coming from the ocean. I like to look at the clouds in the sky with
a blank mind, I like to do thought experiment when I cannot sleep in the
middle of the night. I like flowers in spring, rain in summer, leaves in
autumn and snow in winter ;). I like to sleep late, I like to get up early ;)
I like to be alone, I like to be surrounded by people. I like country’s
peace, I like metropolis’ noise;. I like delicious food
and comfortable shoes; I like good books and romantic movies. I like
the land and the nature, I like people. And, I like to laugh.
