Today is Thursday, February 7, 2013. My stats today: 10 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes on the exercise ball and 49 minutes of walking = 2.7 miles for a February total of 16.3 miles. My weight was 165. 4 pounds (time to lose a couple).
QUOTE from Wonderful Memories and Treasures by Jim Doyne. "In most homes it's a fifty-fifty proposition. The husband tells the wife what to do, and the wife tells the husband where to go."
My THOUGHTS today. Ruth Ann and I like to go to the casinos and relax. We do not have to call 1-800-Bets Off. We go to relax and only spend a set amount. Two weeks ago I made $130.00 playing video poker in Waterloo. So Saturday we decided to go to Bettendorf and try again. I made up my mind that I was only going to play video poker and forget the slots - it paid off. I hit a Royal Flush playing five quarters at a time. I was dealt the ace, king, and queen of hearts and two little black cards. I kept the ace, king and queen, discarded the black ones and drew the ten and jack of hearts. I looked at the screen and it said ROYAL FLUSH and the pay-off was 4,000 quarters - which equals $1,000. My eyes about popped out of my head. Needless to say I had a fun time watching the machine add up 4,000 quarters. I cashed it out and went to the cashier to get my ten 100 dollar bills. I put those in my left pocket and kept them there until we went home the next day. I then made out a deposit slip and put it in the bank.
I don't know what the odds are of hitting a Royal Flush. The last time I had one was eight years ago when I was playing five nickels and won 10,000 nickels which equals $500.00. So the odds of hitting a Royal Flush are really slim - that makes two of them for me in eight years. See what I mean. But when it does happen it definitely creates a state of happiness. If I get another one in eight years I will be eighty years old. I hope my eyesight will be good enough to read the screen.
HUMOR for today: How come only the most sensible people agree with me?
