And I bet you added a couple of items to your order too didn't you Blooie

Of course winning the first time is REALLY bad if someone is prone to addiction. I hope Jamie wasn't one of them.

Nope. He said "I came, I saw, I conquered, now I get while the gettin's good!" And yes, I enjoyed the extra shrimp cocktail! teehee

We'll never make it until midnight, just not night owls here. Even if we make it to my DB's house, knowing him he'll be the first one asleep, lol.

We stayed up for the new year of 2000 to see what would happen... we could have gone to bed. We had a good time with my sister and her husband playing Yahtzee though.

I bet i can give you a run for your money! I can sleep anywhere, any time. I can sleep 12 hours and need someone to wake me up!

I wish for 8 hours of that.

Been a LONG time since I've been to a casino. Actually it was on my way here from So. Cal in 1979. I decided I would quit when I lost $50. Did so, went to bed, got up and drove another 8 hours.

I don't think I could bring myself to drop $5 in a machine let alone $20.

I’ve been in 2 casino’s and didn’t spend anything. The addiction I saw in the people there scared me.

Many years ago my father,mother & brother went to Vegas (drove) my mother got hooked on a - maybe nickel machine- don't know, wasn't there. But they said she would not leave. My father and brother had to lift her out of the chair and carry her off. Never knew she had that in her.

I don't even buy lotto tickets. The promotion says how playing lotto is so much fun. Horse hockey, it's only fun if you WIN!!

I've had close encounters with 2 people addicted to gambling, one was a good friend and the other was my ex. No way would I consider going into a casino any more, it's not fun, it's just sad.

Ah, a gift that keeps on giving...

My day started at 3am! The cockatiels decided to have a night fright so I had to get up and turn a light on for them to stop them thrashing about. They took ages to settle down (I was already resigned to staying up).

Then our DD is away, staying at my sister's, so DS (who is missing her terribly) decided to sleep in her bed. At 4.30am the fire alarm in her room started blaring unnecessarily. DS only woke up when we turned on the light, poor kid. Hubby had to pull the batteries out of it to make it shut up! Thankfully they've both decided to go back to sleep.

I might need a hot chocolate though. It's quite cool here and the high country at the bottom of the North Island was supposed to be getting some snow! Crazy weather!

Jae isn't this summer in New Zealand? Sounds like global cooling to me. I know we are having a very cold winter early. Usually the 0 and below temps come in January. Talk on BYC is that many areas are seriously cold.
