NO CANCER! NO MONEY!

The biopsy came back benign! No cancer! Whew! That was a nail biter. When I finally got sick of waiting for them to call me, I got on the horn. Coincidentally, my doctor and another doctor were looking at the results, so I was on hold forever and the nurse wound up having to call me back. I was super relieved to not have to spend all weekend worried sick. Now if I could just get lefty to heal....I kid you not when I say, its black and green - HUGE bruise.
Last night's adventure to First Council was a real stinker. Jim and I dropped about $200 each, and came back with completely empty pockets. (I did very well for a while and got cocky - blew the whole thing.) Our friend Daryl spent about $100 and came home with $2400!! (He stayed on one machine and it went up and down and finally hit a jackpot) His wife Sharla spent about $100 and won around $250.
I should have just given my wad of money to someone and had them kick me in the ass!
I laughed out loud when security asked Daryl if he needed an escort to his vehicle. Daryl is a big bald scary biker lookin' dude - I doubt anyone would want to take him on for $2400. They even gave him a gift bag of goodies on our way out.
It really wasn't a bad little drive down there, and knowing Jim, we'll be back down there again sometime.

Haven't been gambling since the days of the one-day cruises when I lived in Fla...sorry you came back empty handed. That always blows.

Woohoo! So glad the girls passed inspection!

I'm glad everything is good in the northern dept. Boo to not winning any money, did you not wear your dice bracelet? That could have something to do with it!
