I mentioned at an earlier post that I was short $204 (it was actually $209.35) for my first of six installments of property tax.


I was a bit bummed about but thought it will be a few days late and I will make a partial payment and pay the rest when I get paid next....


I also mentioned that I was going to the casino today with a total of $25.

I don't know what you've been doing here lately to earn all this good luck, but I think you need to send a little to Becky.

Good for you! I'm so glad that things work out (not that I would encourage gambling as a method of bill payment . . . but you know what I mean, lol)


I am the worst gambler EVER. I HATE it. My dad teases me because even betting $10 on the outside in roullette freaks me out. And I never win anything. Ever. Not even when I get scratch tickets for Christmas . . . oh well. Rant over!

That's awesome Duke!
DH used to do really well at the casinos...when I was first dating him he won over $15,000 in the course of 3 months...bought surround sound & a big screen TV...
lol there's been times in the past couples years that our debt has def grown because of trips to the casino...
we've finally given up on gambling....I couldn't spend just $20!

It's funny how things work out tho, hey?

Congrats! thats great that you won so much! Way to go making your payment on time.


DHs parents have a gambling problem and have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars to slots machines so DH and I stay well away from the casinos.

You are a lucky gambler, Duke!


We play craps, DH taught me years ago when we did have money! ;)


Well I played this week, allowed myself $100 on vacation.
