Lacking in Self-control and Self-discipline

I know I need to be more self-disciplined. Monday was another example. A few friends called and invited me to go with them to an Indian casino. I am all for supporting Native American causes, but perhaps not this way. I am all for Native self-sufficiency but I maybe going about it the wrong way... I thought I was doing my part! Well, after some arm twisting (hardly any), off I went with the group.

Well, I played slots. I know no one wins.... ok, hardly anyone wins... although Palma and Brad have been known to win some per Palma's blog.

I went from one slot machine to another - no luck. I even tried playing one called Early Retirement. I thought the name could possibly bring good karma. But that did not happen.

One of my gambling companions said that the lunch buffet was great and only costs her $7.95. I do not know what she was talking about because after carefully studying my wallet when I got home, my lunch buffet cost me $157.95! That was what was missing from my stash!

I really need self discipline... as Kenny Rogers said... know when to fold them...Maybe I should stop playing penny slots... Maybe I should stop playing slots - period! But I am going to South Lake Tahoe this weekend (on pretenses of playing in the snow?). I am going to start practicing on that self discipline next week.

A woman here won 9 million dollrs on a three dollar slot last weekend. Can you imagine? I hate her. LOL

Jerry,
How come things like that / winning do not happen to nice people like us?????

Pick a machine and STAY there. Be patient. Only bring what you can afford to lose. I NEVER even TAKE more than $100 with me, and NO ATM!

Next time...they owe you!

9 milion what? I hate her too.
