Lots of things ran through my mind as I read about the 76 year old woman being shot in the casino parking lot. If it was robbery, anyone should know that a gambler usually doesn’t leave until their last dollar is gone. Hope they get the shooter and the older lady rests in peace.
Sounds like you had a wonderful time biking. Hope you have many more safe fun adventures. I saw a couple on TV who had been married for 75 years and they were asked what the secret was and they said ‘not falling out of love at the same time’. Guess as long as one of you are still working at your relationship then you have a good chance of making it work. That made me think of you and Dames…not your marriage but with gambling. As long as you both don’t slip into gambling at the same time, you’ll have the other to answer too. I hope Dames is okay and that you have the strength to keep him from causing too much damage. I’m probably not making much sense in the comparisons but I hope you can figure out what I’m trying to say. Enjoy your 4 days off for Easter…of course, I don’t need to tell you that!
At least your good news is a thousand times better than the bad news. Hope the ‘no pay’ doesn’t leave you without food or necessities. HR should bring you a care package and apologize for their mistake.
Bettie, it would be tough to know we had a year or less to live. Maybe your friend will beat the odds. It does happen!
I’m excited for you and your bicycle! A basket and a helmet…sounds like you’re styling to me. I see a couple of older ladies riding an old fashioned bicycle on the roads close to our property. I’ve thought about getting one too but not sure if I can still ride one. Is it true that you never forget how to ride a bike? Hope you had a wonderful ride.
Wow! Sounds like you have a lot of fun coming up. You’re living the life you should live. I bet you can’t imagine how you ever wasted time sitting in front of a slot machine when there is so much more to enjoy! I love hearing about other people’s lives and what goes on in other Countries. Your husband is a smart man to jump up and get into action when he knew you were mad. lol
So sorry about your girlfriend’s cancer. It seems like there is too much death, disease and catastrophes lately! My prayers to your friend and her family.
Your words and wisdom mean a lot. I can understand why you’re being showered with praise on Mother’s Day! You deserve it.
I think my sister has what you have. She doesn’t usually get sick but she’s feeling really bad. Her husband got it first and, like most couples, shared it with her. lol She said she starts feeling better but that then it hits her again. Hope you both get better soon!
P, thanks for being so honest about your depression and struggles. I think a lot of us suffer from depression so you are not alone. I’ve certainly posted when I’ve been down. Like you, I have wonderful kids and good things in my life but the dark ***** come anyway. Post what you want. You could be helping someone else along with yourself. The good thing about this site is if someone doesn’t want to read what you’re posting, they don’t have to.
You are making progress ODAAT. That’s all any of us can do. Big cyber hug to you p. I hope the depression passes soon. Sherry
The bad thing about gambling is once we place that first bet it’s so hard to stop. Even hitting something big just gives us more playing time. I never walk out of the casino a winner. Don’t chase your losses or you’ll lose even more. We’re compulsive gamblers and can’t stop. Don’t do that to yourself again. You deserve better.
Kathryn, I’ve always felt that most people who keep going to the casino will get sucked in to where gambling affects there life. Some people think that only a small amount of us get addicted but I don’t feel that way. Your husband needs to stop gambling, if he can, because it will only get worse. You know how irrational us gamblers are! I don’t blame you for not wanting him bringing your family down. You’ve worked hard for your new life and you deserve peace and happiness. Protect yourself and your kids. I hope you can talk some sense into Dames (hope I got his name right) before he’s sucked in too far! You’re a wonderful example for him to follow.
After the drug filled 70’s, I’m surprised those rockers are still alive! Glad you enjoyed the concert. There are so many things to enjoy in life when gambling doesn’t interfere. Thanks for sharing! Sherry
It snowed here on Wednesday but is sunny and beautiful today. We’ve had odd weather this year. Congratulations on getting the loan Betty! Kathryn, hormones make a world of difference!
Great news William! 6 months is amazing. You deserve a celebration and all the better to share it with the ones you love most! I’m smiling and happy for you! Sherry
