We're off to BINGO again. Yes, we are. Just a couple'a wild and crazies we are.Ty tells me that we have to go to "see our friends". Actually, the woman who sits across from us is an absolute sweetheart - Brenda's 10 years older than me and looks 5 years younger. She's very welcoming, helpful and, well, just nice.
Ty's new manfriend is "Richard". He comes every week (late). Has a bit of a routine...gets a cheeseburger, buys a whole whack of pull tabs and then sits down to do what he does (mostly win and mumble). He became a bit of a hero to Ty a few weeks ago when Brenda leaned over to him and said, "Richard, why don't you ever bring your wife with you?", to which he replied, in his southern sounding drawl, "Are you kidding me? I come here to get away from that shit". High fives from the man club. There's hockey jersey long hair guy and the two Phillipino brothers who bring their Grandma each week. And win multiple times (karma). The men are taking over.
So I was thinking about this....Bingo Thursdays, the track on the weekends, sell & play lottery tickets (including betting on sporting events), poker maniac, considering the Casino as my next job...do you see a bit of a pattern developing?
"Hi, my name's Deb and I'm a gambleholic".
The weekend's almost here again. Wahoo!....plans?

My Gran is a Bingo addict, she goes three times a week, at least. Last time I was down I went with her and she introduced me to all her "bingo friends" and it was a riot. Probably knocked five years off my life from all the smoke, but fun nonetheless.
Hope you win big!
My grandmother (RIP) used to play bingo every weekend. When she won, she'd call us and the first thing she'd do is shout BINGO into the phone. HAHA.
It is a bit addictive. I can't believe how many games she could play at once. She was fast with that dabber.
What's a pull tab? I am gambling illiterate, I'm afraid.
Actually I have always refused to work the fundraising casinos at the offspring's school because I have a problem with supporting school activities with gambling. Which I guess makes me a miserable old witch, but you should see me kick ass at crokinole!
Here's hoping that there's a jackpot in your future!
I'll join you
we can become bingo babes!

Oh, and have you ever been trolled on the internet before?
The local Tribe of "Natives" have Bingo here, but I am scared to try it. I don't blend well. But Dammit, it looks fun!
Perhaps a disguise...
(maybe if I sneak in and sit at the back...NAH!)
I need to find someone that already goes and tag along.
Who am I kidding, it ain't gonna happen.
but then...$$$?
Hey guys....sorry I haven't responded....have been SO busy lately with work, family stuff, etc. Promise to get around to visit all of you when things calm down a bit.
