Hooray! We went on the gambling bus trip to Diamond Jim's in Iowa and I came home with $50 dollars more than I went with. Now that being said, hubby didn't fair so well. He lost most of what he took. Now you think because he withdrew the money for us to go I should split what's left of mine with him. Funny man. Back in the bank it goes so I guess you could say I shared. Of course we won't be able to touch it as it's going into the Christmas Club account. Not easily accessable. As Bugs Bunny would say, "ain't I a stinker".
I must say the bus ride wasn't as nice as usual. There were some rude and/or inconsiderate people on the bus. When we got there and the lady gets on to hand out cards they wouldn't shut up so you could hear when your name was called. Had to be told twice. Then there were a few who wanted to get up and get right off the bus as soon as they got theirs. Didn't want to wait for their lunch ticket or others to get theirs. They had to be told to sit down and wait until she handed everything out and told them the rules. You know, like if you get intoxicated you will be removed etc. Then on the way home they asked for the microphone and were telling dirty and viciouse (dead baby) jokes. Needless to say they were chastized for that as well. Dead babies are nothing to joke about. Yes, there were a younger set, but the good thing was it was a younger set young lady who put them in their place.
I would have like a shorter trip. The bus left at 10 and we didn't leave the casino until 5. That's just too long and we were really tired when we got back. Usually we stop into the bar and have one drink when we get off the bus, but my poor granddaughter was dog sitting so Oreo wouldn't have to spend the day in the crate. I doubt we'll go again unless they shorten the trip. It's just too much for this old lady.
Now Oreo isn't feeling too well. Either that or those girls (Nicole had a couple friends wsith her) just wore him out. He wouldn't even eat a treat this morning and has been rather quiet, listless so far.
Glad you won and sorry some have to spoil it all for others. I just hate that. I have been on several trips and YES that long of a day is terrible. One trip ended at 10PM whew never did that again.. Hope Oreo feels more like himself soon and KNOWS if you leave you WILL BE BACK.. :-)
ReplyDeleteHooray for winning! I never win anything when I go to the boat. The casino/boat that I go too is just 8 miles from me so I don't have far to travel.
ReplyDeleteI hope Oreo is feeling better soon!
If I wanted to gamble I would have to go to Foxwoods in Ct. I've been there once and have been to Las Vegas once. I did walk away with $50 profit from Vegas but that was in 1979. I'm just not a gambler at least not in that way. They have been talking for years about building casinos here for years but all it's been is just talk.
ReplyDeleteI think I can count on one hand how many times I've gambled...it wouldn't even take one finger to show how much I've won! Rudeness is a very prevalent trait these days isn't it? It's hard to put up with at any time...sorry about that. I hope Oreo is just tired out...sick puppies are no laughing matter. Bless you my friend.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your win. I always lose the very few times I have gone. I hate rude people on a bus tour too. They ruin it for everyone. It's good someone was able to put them in their place! Oh dear - poor Oreo. Keep an eye on him and if he doesn't perk up in another day, maybe take him to the vet. It could be anything actually - worn out, upset tummy., or developing a new symptom of something. Hope he's okay - such a cutie.
