just say “about broke even”

Yep! That's the general-don't really want you to know- statement! I've been there probably about 5 times in my life! It's an interesting place to visit, but would never want to live there!! It different, but if you ask me, tooooooooooooo much of everything! On the "strip" it's easier to walk or get a cab, rather than drive your own car! Again, toooooooooo much!!

We always knew “about broke even” meant “I’ll never tell you how much we lost!!”

They still go down to Mississippi to gamble and also a closer place is Cherokee, North Carolina. There are these companies who sponsor trips by air or by bus to some of these places and my friends usually fly to Miss. but its a nice drive over to Cherokee!

My husband and I blew money on lots of things along the way but he told me when he was a young boy, he learned quickly that when you put your money into one of those pinball machines that you never saw that money again. He just had this thing that he wouldn’t want to gamble away his money.

Now I do think when he was in the Navy aboard ship, that they gambled some but I think it was small money ‘cause probably none of them had too much money to play with.

I gotta find me something to munch on!!
