So today I went down town to pick up some tickets for my moms friends that are coming in at the end of the month. I made some observations while I was there. First of all for as bad as our economy is there are sure a heck of a lot of cars in the casino parking lots. I don't know how many of them are actually gambling but still a ton of people none the less. My other observation was the amount of men that were gambling at card tables or the spiny thing what ever it is called. I am proud to say that I haven't gambled an ounce of my* own money since moving here over a year ago. Nor do I plan on it because Cliff works to hard for our money to piss it away on slot machines or card games. But what is funny is that as I was walking through there it occurred to me that the Casino's are the adult version of Chucke Cheese. I am sure I am not the first person to see this but it is so true. I mean I feel so proud that I am not a gambler but yet I have no problem dropping 40+ bucks on tokens at the kid pizza joint just so they can get tickets to "buy" toys with, that I could really just go to the store and buy for way cheaper. Its all a gamble right rather we are at Chucke Cheese or at New York New York. I guess its all in the eye of the beholder. Casinos are just video game rooms for adults and Chuckee Cheese is where it all starts. LOL just kidding. But really we go for entertainment one way or another whether we are four or forty.
*I have been give other peoples money to gamble with a certain husband to a very dear friend hooked me up one night but we totally lost:) remember that mom........

Great observation D!
I have never gambled in my life and Only played a scratch ticket that I got in a birthday card. I've always said I'd rather hold on to the five bucks in my pocket than take a "chance" at more.
Oh and just a side note. I am anti chuckie cheese. No offense to anyone. I just can't stand the place. I like things like the bounce house place you had Zachary's party @ and things that encourage play. Plus my girls are petrified of "The big Rat" as they call him or anyother person dressed in a suit including Santa and I am not going to force them to like any of it. ;)
