We're Winners

Sylvia and I, who rarely go to the clubhouse for coffee on Saturday mornings, wanted to to see who would win the Queen of Hearts draw because only 2 cards were remaining.  We bought 10 tickets between us to share because we might as well try ourselves if we were going to be there and darned if we didn't win the 50/50...we split the $180!!!  Next was the draw for the Q of H and our friend Audrey went up to choose between the 2 cards that are left but she chose the wrong one, darn it.  Sylvia and I have to sell the 50/50 tickets next Saturday morning so we have to go back again but it will be fun to see whose ticket is drawn for the Q of H because that will be a definite winner.

I think I won the 50/50 on Saturday coffee about 10 years ago and had about given up hope of ever winning it again...of course, one has to attend the Saturday coffee time to do it.

On a sad note, Florida is trying once again to close down our internet casinos and has closed at least one that is on our list.  I don't know why they insist on taking these away from us when large casinos exist with no problem at all.  Also, why not close the bars that are so instrumental in ruining people's lives instead of our little casinos? 

We have a large group from our park who will be heading up to the internet casinos tomorrow so I hope they remain open.  The one we refer to as #4 will serve us all a pizza lunch, too.  I know gambling is a vice but so are a lot of other things that can be just as damaging if not kept in check.  We are adults who have the right to spend our money as we choose and I'd rather drop it in a slot machine than lay it on a counter in exchange for whiskey.

Just think how many awful establishments exist that are completely legal and not continually harrassed by the government to close.  I really have to wonder why they are picking on our little internet casinos...could it be the large casinos are pressuring them?

Anyway, Sylvia will spend her 50/50 winnings on something sensible and I will no doubt take mine to the internet casino.  To each his own!
