Gambling

I'm not a big gambler. We usually take my MIL to the casino whenever she comes to visit - because she LOVES the slot machines. Mitch and I usually take $20 each, play for a ocuple hours and go home without $20 each. Mitch's Mom on the other hand will spend whatever available $$ she has and play and play. She is pretty lucky, and can play a long time. But I told her that when she retires in two years she was going to be one of the old ladies that ate cat food because she spent all her Social Security $$ on gambling.

She was leaving today to go home, so when we went to the casino she drove her own car. Mitch and I played, lost our $$ and said our goodbyes to her at 1:30 this afternoon, she was going to play longer, cause she was winning. I got a phone call at 6pm to say that she would be spending the night again, cause she was still at the casino gambling and had worked her way up to about $150. Man I would be cashing out!! The most I've ever won at a casino was $46. Like I say I'm not much of a gambler. Will be interesting to see what she comes home with.

  1. My gram LOVES gambling :) She usually gives me $20 and I pocket it and hit the lobby to watch HGTV while she gambles :) I do play online poker and love it and Kev plays. But my dad is in GA (well and still gambling...idiot) so I am pretty cautious with it all. And he plays slots..those never really pay out.
