"This Stuff Tastes Like Crap!" "You Are What You Eat!"

"This Stuff Tastes Like Crap!" "You Are What You Eat!" You know, Thank god for cold medicine! If it wasn't for that I think I would have had a coronary attack when I got the bill for my brakes! It's amazing how that stuff makes you not really care about too awful much, especially when your counting out hundred dollar bills! I knew it was going to be expensive, but almost $500.00!! Granted they are lifetime brakes, and if any part ever fails there is a lifetime part replacement along with free towing and no Labor cost's, but still! I'm really not complaining though, as it's better than hoping the vehicle will stop and down-shifting to slow down and stop! Oh well, whatcha gonna do? It's one of those repairs that one has no choice in making especially since in two weeks I'm going on vacation again and am headed back to the coast, just this time, a place I haven't been to since I was nineteen, Lincoln City Or. I'm Looking forward to it except for the fact that the hotel I booked is right next to a Casino! Now, I don't have a gambling problem, (it's only a problem if you lose,) and every time I hit a Casino I leave with quite a bit more money than I walked in with, but the only problem is that the game I play takes hours to win at, which is Craps. Most people really don't know how to play the game and just either watch or only bet when they are the shooter or have the dice. I on the other hand constantly bet no matter who is throwing the dice. My problem is that I wont bet big because I don't want to lose a lot of money all at once, so I bet a lot of small bets that have small returns when I win, hence the time that it takes to make any substantial gains or money is great. I usually never leave with less than $1,500.00-$2,000.00 but that's 12-14 hrs later which is a great return on the time spent, but when on vacation it seems like time wasted because I have to sleep and lose about a full day and a half of vacation time which is a lot when your not going to be somewhere for very long! So I'm in a quandary over this as I can always go to a Casino but can't always get to Lincoln City! The up-coming vacation was originally planned as a gambling vacation and I was going to go to a new Casino in Tulalip Wa. but decided instead to go to the coast again as it is my favorite place to be. I know, Poor little boy, doesn't know what to do! Some might say, why don't you go to the Casino but set a time limit? and that would be a great idea if I could make myself leave when I'm in the middle of winning which is next to impossible!, Sounds like a problem, Huh? Really though it's not, as I don't get out all that often or very little and only really let lose when I'm on vacation. That's why I take 30 day's off a year all split up which I don't get paid for either. I've knocked on wood writing this not to offend the gambling gods and most likely will stay out of the Casino, but it's really hard when you know that for 12-14 hrs of your time you can make so much money! The funny thing about this is that I just found out about the Casino being next door otherwise I probably wouldn't care but with it being within walking distance it's kind of sent me into a tizzy!! I know, Maybe I'll fax a copy of my picture to the security department of the Casino with a caption "I'm in a tizzy, Whatever you do don't allow this person on the premises as He's on vacation!!" Yep, That should take care of it!!!! Problem solved!! See, With enough cold medicine you too can solve your own problems! God I hate being Sick!!! Thanks for your time!!  |
