Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life

So I went to the casino with Travis last night. Out of the blue. I've been pinching pennies around here due to Christmas, so I wasn't completely sold on the idea. But what the hell, I'm a gambler and that's what I signed on for. If I lost my hundred(or two) that would just mean some people would be getting movie posters and movie tickets for

Niiice. I except an iPod for Christmas. Thanks.

I should have said, "Christmas is saved for all the supermodels and Playboy Playmates I know." Christmas for Jake involves something from the Dollar Tree. Maybe two candles and an ancient beef jerky from Egypt or something.

Kudos for putting away that 250 when you had it. Very nice to see someone being sensible with their gambling.

I come across too many gambling horror stories, unfortunately.

But hooray on your win! Congratulations.

Richard and I have this strat called "the pocket" where once you make X amount of dollars, then you put it in your pocket and never take it out again.

It works and keeps us from going too broke.

Smart boys.

Except I did have to take it out to get it colored up before I left the table. And that was like less than five minutes after I executed "the pocket" strat. And coincidentally, that's how long it takes to lose 50 dollars.

That's not to say I don't have some bad gambling stories. I got em alright.

Ever gambled away so much that your next course of action was to leave your 4 year old daughter at a random bus stop in the city, then skip the country?

Yeah, I've seen that one happen, unfortunately. And worse. Horrible scummy people.

Don't become a degenerate gambler lol! Stay smart! =D
