Dear Bettie! You weren’t alone in your struggle with gambling thoughts yesterday. I struggled too but here we are gamble free for another day. I even started my car to see if it would start should I decide to go to town to "run errands". Problem is that life will continually throw some sort of challenge at us, some bigger than others, and that we can’t go through life gambling to deal with our problems, like my daughter has told me. Who raised this kid that has told me that I can leave her house angry if I want, but that she wasn’t giving me any money to gamble with? And this is after I gave her $2,000 I had won, for my granddaughter’s education fund. And she still had the cash in her house! The nerve of her!! Lol! The days we struggle with gambling thoughts or urges will pass too, even though we are white knuckling it some days. It does look like I am going to be able to attend the April conference. You’re going to have to set up how we should do this, like where I should fly into, and what date, etc as I don’t have a clue. Then I can start watching for a good price on flights. How soon do we have to register? And how do we go about booking the hotel? Carole
