Covered in Beeeeez

Busy? Don't talk to me about busy!

We are struggling to cope. At least it makes the day go quicker.

I have taken up the yoga as I said a bit back. This has had an effect on me a bit. I meander out from yoga as mellow and happy as a stoner in an amsterdam coffee shop who has just heard the cry the hash cakes are on me! Seriously, I was soooo chilled yesterday. I had a dopey smile on my face for most of the afternoon.

Good job too or I'd have something to say about on line gambling. Huge profits to be made. I saw on TV this morning they got some woman in to talk about how she got herslef into serious debt doing it. "there were no warnings on the site" she bleated piteously. Apparently she wants the sites to say, "hold on you are losing rather a lot maybe you should stop".

Perhaps the daft bitch should just not blow large amounts of cash on gambling if she can't afford it? How much nanny state should there be? Tax the gambling yes. Regulate it so it's a straight game, fair enough. Don't expect them to cut the losers off. I also don't want to hear about how they shouldn't have to pay as the website got them gambling.

Who did? I think it was you not the website that handed out your card details. No one made you. Here's a thought! Perhaps there could be an idiots bank account that only allows you to draw x amount of money a week? Would that make you happy, you fucking idiot?

Gah! Why must we deal with these fools? Addiction my sainted shitter.


Anyway as I did do yoga I will just let it go.

Peace.

I don't gamble myself cause I know already I'm not very lucky ... though in the past I admit to putting a few bucks into the machine, it just pissed me off afterwards to realize how stupid I was for doing it.
any way ... a few years ago I took a vacation in Atlantic City, not for the casinos but more for historical reasons and its a cheap and relativly uncrowded beach spot ..... since everyone else IS in the casinos. I laughed at the giant promotions everywhere for gambling ... cause at the bottom of everyone of them was the number for gamblers anon ...

Brilliant! Gamblers anonymous. Sounds like a place casinos should advertise! I do gamble occasionally but not with anything I can't afford to lose.

Mugs huh

Spent one afternoon in a casino in Aruba while on my honeymoon and was literally physically ill. Watching these overtanned, wrinkled old skeletons, gold jewelry rattling, cigarette in one hand, slot machine handle in the other... I couldn't take it. I haven't been so disgusted in a long time.

Gambling: A tax for the stupid.

Gives you a little shudder doesn't it. Their leathery skin rustling against their clothes while their eyes glow with naked avarice. Blimey I am starting to wax poetic about casino vultures.

Still, people watching gold.
