Finally In Vegas-TR!

We now move on to day 3. Usually type the previous days TR early in the morning around 6:30 or so. Even though I was awake at my "usual" 4:30 am time, I just wasn't in the mood to jump out of bed and start typing. At 7 am, I decided to go downstairs for breakfast. I didn't want to see if the "tribe" was up yet as I felt like eating alone and going over what sports bets to make this weekend. I would eat at the counter as my waitress Betty Jane, who I affectionately call "BJ" would be back to work.

As I reached the 1st floor, my phone started beeping to let me know the battery was low. Since I left my charger at home, and only had the car charger, I had to go to valet parking first to leave the phone in the car to be charged. I went back to the Cafe and gave my order to BJ and went to the reception area to get a USA Today newspaper. I was going to have French Toast and bacon today.

But let's go back to yesterday and the day 3 TR. When I got online yesterday morning, I had a PM from walt and marcia saying they were coming by the Silverton and would like to meet me for a drink. I PMed them back that they were welcome to come over for breakfast. I headed for the bar soon after and I kept thinking about my loss from the day before and how I would hope to get it back today.

I took my seat at the bar around 9:30 am, and the bar was empty as well as the whole casino. I took my "lucky" 3 seat and took a look at how much the royal was now worth. It was just under 5 grand. That would make a nice payday and get me even and even ahead for the trip. I was only on my first $100, and it was down to $50 when I wound up hitting four 8's on DDB for $250. Looks like this day was going to be different than the previous day. Switching back to BP, it wasn't long before I hit my 2nd 4OAK.....4 Jacks. The progressive for 4 Aces was now over $500, and I thought that would be a nice hit. Well sure enough, I got dealt 3 Aces and the 4th one appeared on the draw. Hot cha cha!!! This sure was going to be a different day. The four 2-3-4's jackpot was also climbing and now stood at almost $250. After a little dry spell, I decided that this machine had give out its share of 4OAK's and I changed my seat to the far end. I took the seat next to where Faye would normally be sitting, and I hit 4 9's right away. After I hit one more 4 OAK...8's this time....I moved to the end seat. Tom the bartender was going on break, and my "viewable" bartender took his place. I ordered my first drink of the day, a Gentleman Jack on the rocks with a Diet Coke back. The regular Jack Daniels was poured from the gun, and just didn't taste the same as Jack Daniels out of the bottle. Those of you that frequent casino bars, or other bars for that matter, will know what I'm talking about. Well, it wasn't that long before I got dealt two deuces, and two more appeared on the draw and I had knocked off the progressive jackpot of $253. I got up to cash out some TITO's, and I now had over $1000 from my days starting bankroll of $600. Well I was making progress towards getting back my money from the previous days losses. I was going to sit back down in the end seat, but something told me to go back to the next to the end seat. The ticket acceptor on that machine was very finicky, and sometimes it would take you bill...and sometimes it would spit it back out. I thought that if it took my bill within two tries, it was meant for me to play that machine. If not, then I would go back to playing the end machine. So I inserted the bill and it spit it right back out like I tried to feed it poison. So I would try again and sit down in the end seat if it wouldn't take the bill. So the bill was inserted.....it then made its usual whirring sounds.....and instead of coughing the bill back out....it took it and gave me my $100 in credits. So that must mean I was meant to play that machine. And I sure was. Within a few hands, I got DEALT 4 tens playing BP. After about ten minutes went by...and a few Royal misses...I got dealt two Aces....and just had a feeling that two more were going to fill in. I was now playing DDB, and 4 aces with the kicker would really make my day. Well, I didn't get the kicker, but sure enough I got those 4 Aces. YAHOO!!! I played a few more minutes with mixed results, and cashed out when I got down to $1000. I was now almost even for the trip. That's the ticket.

Walt and Marcia gave me a call and said they were in the area and could they stop by and see me. Sure, come on down. She said they were very close and would be there in a few minutes. When they arrived at the bar, we shook hands and took our seats. By the time they got there, I had moved down to the middle of the bar which was still wide open so there was no problem getting seats together. Walt started putting TITO's in their machines and I asked them if they had been playing earlier. He said they were his "stash" that he kept on the side since they played at the Silverton regularly. Marcia mentioned that they also had dogs, and we started talking about the medications that hers had to take, and how they found a place online where the cost was a lot less expensive than what her vet was charging. I was really interested in getting the name of the company as two of my dogs take medication for Cushings disease, and it cost me almost $200 a month. Since they will probably be taking these meds for the rest of their lives, it could save me some serious cash. Although it's not supposed to be hereditary, somehow these two got the disease just like our Gypsy Rose. We sure don't want what happened to her like what happened to Gypsy. Although I haven't looked up their prices yet, the name of the company is Upco.com. So check it out if you should have an animal that takes meds regularly.

While talking and playing, I managed to hit four 7's on DDB. We talked for a while longer and they said they were going to leave. I'll tell you one thing, the LVA sure has some nice people, and it's always a pleasure meeting you people to connect a face with a name. I had now met four people this trip that read and post on the LVA and I'm looking forward to meeting more of you in the future.

But let me backtrack a little bit, as what Bagiant thread would be complete without a Sharlene update. While sitting in my #3 seat when I started playing, I get a text message saying, "That item you are looking for can probably be found on ebay." I looked to see who sent it, and it was the guy Sharlene was staying with before she went into rehab. I texted back, "what item?" Within a minute, my cell was ringing and it was him. He had sent the text to the wrong person. I asked him if he had heard from Sharlene yet. Just as he was going to give me an answer, the connection was severed. I tried to call him back multiple times and got no answer. I couldn't understand why he wouldn't answer my calls. About two hours later, he called me back and I found out what happened. His battery had died and needed recharging so he couldn't take or make any calls. He told me that Sharlene had called him last night, and she told him that she would be getting out tomorrow (Wednesday) How could that be? She would only have been in there for two weeks. What the heck kind of rehab was that? He said he was going to pick her up in the morning after traffic had died down. I told him to have her call me when she got out. Well she's out now and called me without ever having him tell her to as she was waiting for him to pick her up and hadn't spoken to him yet. He mentioned to me that something that we both agreed on, that this "rehab" just wasn't going to work for her. He said he knew a few other places where she could go to get the full treatment. But it was really nice to speak to her. She asked me how Faye was doing. When I told her she was in an assisted care home she just couldn't believe it.She said she would call me back later.

I mentioned a friend of mine from grammar and high school was in town, and sure enough, she wound up calling me that she was close to the Silverton, and where could she find me. I told her I was at the center bar, and a few minutes later she called to say she was at the Silverton and where was the center bar? She thought I meant the Flair bar. A minute later she was in sight and we gave each other a big hug and kiss. Boy did she look good. When she was in grammar school...5th grade...she already was sporting a "D" cup. When we were reunited in Calif., she had added a few extra pounds, and I thought she would look about the same. I started to calculate the last time we had seen each other. I probably hadn't seen her in almost 30 years. But she surprised me with her good looks and shapely body that now had really been slimmed down. She wanted to take me to a show that night at the Imperial Palace, but I knew that I was already tired and would probably be going to bed early. I thought she was staying at the Silverton that night, but she said she was only here for the Tuesday slot tournament, and that she would be staying at Bally's until the end of her tournament there.

Well, I wound up cashing out another TITO, and when I counted up my money, I was within 50 bucks of being even. I headed upstairs for a break, and I wish I would have stayed up there as my fortune would change that evening, and I would wind up only $200 for the day, and $1400 down for the trip. Oh well, that's gambling. OK, going to jump in the shower and head back downstairs to try and get some money back. Those four Aces with a kicker sure would be nice.

On to day 4. But before I start, I just want to wish everyone a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING and I hope you are with all your loved ones today.

So after my daily shower, I went downstairs to the bar. But before I left the room, I got a phone call. I looked at my caller ID and it show "Star". Looks like Sharlene was now out of rehab and had her cell phone back. It was really good to hear from her. She asked me if I was in Vegas and I told her I was. She asked me how Faye was doing, and I told her she was in the assisted living home. She couldn't believe it and asked me why I went to Vegas without her. I explained to her how Faye's family came to Vegas from Illinois and I had gotten them rooms and a suite. They needed my action in order to "pay" for the rooms. She then wanted to know if I wanted her to come to Vegas. Boy! What a tough question. She told me she would leave later that day. Well, she never showed up and didn't answer my calls. I left a key for her at the front desk just in case she got in late.

Before starting to play, I decided it was best to go out to the car and get my cell phone charged, and while I was out there, go to the bank and dry cleaners to pick up my laundry and stop at Albertson's to get a pack of disposable razors since I left mine at home. I used the ATM to make my deposit as there was a big line. I then drove up the road to the cleaners and Albertson's shopping center. No problem picking up the dry cleaning, but when I entered Albertson's, there were lines a mile long. I walked out and thought I could pick up a pack of razors at the Silverton gift shop.

Arriving back at the Silverton, I brought the cleaning up to the room and headed to the center bar. I had about $865 on me, and I hoped it would last the day. Better yet, I hoped it would triple in value and have a profit for the trip. I stopped at the Keno kiosk, and bought $20 in Keno tickets for 20 plays at $1 each. One of these days I'm going to hit that 6 spot.

Since it was now after 1 pm, the bar was quite full. I found a seat in the middle of the bar next to the two locals that I've mentioned before, Sam and Evelyn. I told them both about what was happening with Faye. She asked me what was going on with Sharlene-Bob saga, and when I told her that she might be coming to Vegas, I thought she was going to pee in her pants she was laughing so hard. I was still on my first $100 and I was doing my normal switching between BP and DDB. I got dealt a pair of fours, and wouldn't you know it, another pair of 4's with an Ace kicker came out on the draw. But I forgot what game I was playing and I glanced up at the paytable to see that wonderful 800 credits was lit up. Now that was what I needed to get back in the game.

But alas, there was going to be absolutely for the rest of the day. Her daughter came by while I was playing and wanted to know if we were going to Twin Creeks that night. I told herF I would make a reservation for 6 pm. Faye had promised her that she would buy her granddaughter a small Coach purse, and also one for her daughter. I asked her if she could charge it and I would give her the money back after the check I deposited cleared.

My friend from grammar school called wanting to know if I had called her about 1:30 pm. I told her I only called her that morning and not since then. She asked if I wanted to go to an early dinner since her husband got delayed and wouldn't be in until later that day. I declined as I told her we were going to Twin Creeks to celebrate Faye's granddaughters first birthday. I asked her if she would like to join us for dinner. She told me that she would let me know in a while. She also told me she was in first place in the slot tournament at Bally's. She called back later, and said her husband was only an hour away from Vegas. I told them to both come to dinner. She said that if they were there they were there but don't wait for them.

The tribe met me in front of Twin Creeks at 6pm and we got our table. When I walked into Twin Creeks, I was happy to see a familiar face. Jay, the manager there had been having a severe eye problem like the one Steve Wynn has, and had taken a leave of absence for about a year. It was great to see him back at work. I wanted to wash up before dinner, so I left the table. When I got back, my friend from grammar school and her husband had showed up to join us. Seems like everyone was having steak and or lobster and I was sure it was going to be a BIG tab. And boy was I right! The tab ran $825. We all chipped in for the tip although I took the lions share of the tip. But today I realized that there was probably already a 18% gratuity charge on the bill as the Silverton puts that on the bill when you have a party of 7 or more. So it looks like the waitress got a nice Thanksgiving tip.

The rest of the night was a blur as I drank too much, and I can't even tell you if I played that night or not. I had given the Wheel of Fortune machine some play for a while before dinner. When I woke up this morning....at 1 am....I looked for my money but couldn't find it. Must have left it in my pants. I stayed up until 6 am and then fell back to sleep until I received a call from Faye at 8 am. I then found my money in the drawer and it wasn't a pretty sight. I only had about $48 left.

It's time to start another day, and it better be a wining session. After I shower, I have to put the phone in the car and get it recharged. Oh, Sharlene called and said she couldn't make it yesterday and that tomorrow she had to go to Kaiser to get some sort of certificate from them to show she was in rehab so she could bring it to the court in Barstow. She would try and make it in Saturday. At least this way she won't make me break my promise that I wouldn't ruin Thanksgiving.

Having just recently been introduced to your postings, to say the least I'm intriqued. My observations, FWIW:

You are an interesting person. You are honest, by the fact, you've bared your life on this forum for all the world to see. Honest in the content, you don't try to present yourself as being something other than who you are. You have some redeeming qualities, one being your generosity. You seem to have a zest for life.

Some concerns are, and I should qualify these by stating I know nothing of your financial status, your marketable skills, your ability to earn or how many eaning years you have left. I see people taking advantage of your kindess and generosity, Maybe some naivety on your part. Drinking to excess, not good. I suspect you and I are close to the same age, I'm 62. We are probably both examining retirement options. It's not unwise to be more cautious in our financial expenditures at this stage in our lives.

I wish you well. I'm really questioning why I'm posting this, I'm in Saudi Arabia, there is absolutely nothing to do, I must be bored.

I'm really getting aggravated. I keep getting phone calls that aren't really necessary and I'm starting to yell at people. I'm starting to have a short fuse and that's not like me. The Silverton has lousy cell phone reception, and I literally have to get up from wherever I am and go over to the window to hear what anyone is saying, or I wind up having the connection cut off.

First the phone calls. I get connected with her calls on and off. Sometimes they go through and sometimes they don't. So she leaves a voice mail every time accusing me of one thing or the other. Since Sharlene isn't here, I don't have to worry about being guilty of anything. But she's driving me crazy with her messages. When she can't get me on the cell, she calls the room.....and leaves a message, " I don't understand why I can't get ahold of you...what the hell are you doing?" She tells me she pages me in the casino and I don't answer, and I know I was playing VP at the time. One time I was in the coffee shop and you don't hear pages in there. So a floor person comes into the coffee shop to tell me I have a phone call. By the time I answer the phone, she has been transferred to her daughters room. She's driving me nuts with her call. I call her often enough that she doesn't have to call me other than she's bored and has nothing to do but call me. I can understand that she would rather be here and not in that "home", so I try and put up with her nonsense. But like I said, I'm really on edge, and I start yelling at the drop of a hat.

My second phone caller is Sharlene's jail bird friend that is up in Elko, NV, and in jail again. She keeps calling me collect from the jail, and it takes almost 5 minutes to get connected as you have to put the charge on your VISA card, and after you enter every piece of info, there is about a 30 sec delay. So they tell you to enter your 16 digit card number......then a delay to verify.....then your expiration date.....and another 30 sec. to verify. Finally, they ask you for your billing zip code....then another delay....and last but not least....a big spiel stating that this call might be recorded or monitored etc. etc. Then they finally connect you to the person that's calling you. These calls cost $19 each. The only good thing is that they are coming out of her account that I now have the debit card for. But if I don't take the call, it goes to my voice mail, and the phone keeps beeping until I pick up the calls. And all it is is a recording, This is the Elko County Sherriff's department, blah, blah, blah. It was really getting annoying, and I stopped taking the calls most of the time. First she wants to tell me that she was getting out on Sunday and would need some money...about 500$. Now this call was just before I left, so I tried to do the transfer online at Western Union. I told her that I didn't think she had $500 left but I would do an audit and send her whatever she had left. I figured out she only had less than $300 left, but I sent her the whole thing. But when you do it online, there is no way to put in a test question, so I called WU. I either had to cancel the transaction and go to a WU store, or change the name of the receiver. I knew her boyfriend was up in Elko, so I changed the name of the receiver to his name as I knew he had an ID as I had just sent him money days before.

Well, she doesn't get out on Sunday, and she keeps calling me again wanting me to post her bail, $400, so she could avoid being sent to Arizona for some warrants. I told her I wasn't in a position right now to send the money. She said it had to be done by Thursday. I never sent the money to bail her out, and somehow she got out yesterday and another barrage of phone calls started coming in. Somehow, she got someone to loan her their cell phone, and she kept begging me for money. But at this point, I didn't want to risk that SSI wasn't going to send her a check this coming month because she was in jail, and I would be on the hook for whatever money I sent her....and don't forget the collect calls. She started calling me again from someones cell, and after I took 2 calls, I started hanging up on her. I had had it up to here. I finally took one more call from her and reluctantly agreed to send her $50 via WU. I really felt bad for her as she only had a pair of shorts to wear and it was freezing up there. She was disappointed that I could on send her 50, so I told her that if I started winning some money, that I would send her another 50 or so. At least she'll be off my back for now.

Now for the 3rd caller, or should I say non-caller....Sharlene. After speaking with me when she got out of rehab, she told me she would call me later. No calls were coming so I tried to call her a few times. She did try and call me not long after the first call, but I was showering and never heard it ring. But I had just missed the call and called her back right away. She didn't answer for a change. When I went to bed that night, I shut the phone off so I wouldn't get anymore collect calls, and to save the battery. as I had to take the phone out to the car to charge the battery.

In the middle of the night....around 1:30 am, I turned the phone back on. I turned on the TV because I went to bed around halftime of the NFL game and wanted to know if I won any bets. When the phone comes back online, it starts beeping that I have a message. When I saw it was a text message, I knew it
would be Sharlene, and I was right. This came in at 11:07 pm. "Good nite. I'll come tomorrow if you can wire money tip raalp. js?" I have no idea what the last words were. If she doesn't have her glasses on she sometimes types crazy words. I fully expected her to need money for the trip.

Well she calls me again this morning. As I've mentioned in the other thread, G-Money stole her laptop and she needed another one. When she called me yesterday, she said she had an idea how she could get another laptop. If I gave her a Xmas present like last year, $100, and the guy she's staying with in LA gave her a $100 xmas present, she could then take out funds from her SSI and get a new laptop. Simple as that. So I figured that when Xmas came along I would give her that present and she would get her laptop. But today when she called, I told her I would wire her $50 for gas. She said she wasn't talking about that and she would need her Xmas present now. I told her she wasn't getting her money in until the 3rd. When she told me that she wanted to buy the laptop today as she wanted to take advantage of Black Friday sales and she had one picked out already that cost $599. I started screaming at her that the only time she calls me is when she needs something, and I wasn't sending her anything except gas money and then I slammed the phone down on her. She called me back and we got into a yelling match and I slammed the phone down again. She seemed to feel that she had more money in her account and she only spent a little so where was her money. I had told her that I hadn't transferred the $150 from her account to mine that I had deposited in her friends account. But I actually had, and besides, it was MY money...not hers. Anyway, when I got off the phone, I checked her account. Before her check came in, she had a -$340 from her overdraft and fees, one fee I had gotten removed. I also had transferred $333 from her account as I gave her $280 in cash before she went to LA, and for a $53 motel rental. I then removed $100 and then another $100 from her account to make up for the $150 I deposited in her friends account and $50 that she owed me from the previous month. That left her with $4.24 in her account. At this point I'm not going to call her to speak with her unless she calls me. If she comes tomorrow or not, I really don't care at this point. If she calls me to wire her gas money, then I'll know she's coming, if not she can stay home for all I care. I'm in such a grouchy mood right now I can care less.

Now on to day 5 of the TR. Since I only had $48 on me, I would have to get money out of the ATM to continue playing as the banks were closed. I went out to the car first to leave the phone plugged into the charger otherwise I wouldn't be getting any calls, which might be a good thing. I started at the number 3 machine hoping it would produce that elusive Royal. I wound up hitting four 2's for a $225 jackpot. When things cooled off at that machine, I moved down to the machine next to the last seat. Turned out to be a bad move as I went through the $700. I got out my other bank debit card and tried to withdraw $500. It kept getting denied. I knew I had plenty of money in the account so what the "f" was the problem. This problem had kept happening since Wachovia merged with Well Fargo. I decided to call their customer service. I had already been to the bank before to check on this problem and they said I could withdraw $500 a day. Since I hadn't used this card on this trip, I couldn't understand the problem.

When I finally got connected to WF customer service, they verified that I could withdraw $500 a day from the account. So what was the problem? She asked if I was using a Wells Fargo ATM. I told her I wasn't. She asked if this ATM charged fees. I told her of course they did. She said that if I was asking for $500 and they charged a fee, that it would put me over the $500 limit and it would deny the transaction. I told her how ridiculous that was and no other bank that I deal with had that policy. Well they do, and would I like to increase my limit to $510. I said that I would. She then said that since I had mentioned that I was on vacation, would I like to increase it to more than $500. I told her to move it to $710. She said the money would now be available. I went to the machine, and only withdrew the $500 I had originally planned to withdraw.

So back to the bar and this time I took the end seat hoping things would change. After playing about 15 minutes, I guy sat down in the seat next to me. I ask him if I should move my ashtray. He said he smoked also and I didn't need to move it. He then looked at me and asked if I knew him. I took a close look and he didn't look familiar. He then mentioned the LVA and wasn't I Bagiant. I told him I was, and he introduced himself. He was David, and he went under the name of "prefect". We chit chatted a little bit as we played, and he mentioned that he and his wife played there often and it was his wife's favorite casino. He started playing .25c BP. Right away he hit four 6's. Then he hit four Aces and then 4 8's. Boy! Why did I ever leave that machine. But I came back with four 9's playing DDB. That was temporarily a little bit of help. But it wasn't going to last. Dave and his wife left and I remembered that I still had to get the phone back from the car. I went back to playing while the Dallas/ Chiefs game was on TV. My friend from Calif. was seated right behind me at a Triple Play bank of machines. He asked if I wanted to have dinner together. At first I told him I thought I was going up to bed and wouldn't be able to join him. This was the first Thanksgiving that I could remember that I wasn't with family or at least with a girlfriend. It started to depress me.

So I went up to the room and bet the halftime line of the Dallas game. I started to think about my friend downstairs and how he wouldn't have anyone to eat with, so I called him and told him I would join him for TG dinner. He said he had just got seated and would wait for me. I got dressed and went down to the Cafe. He ordered the TG special which was very good. I opted for the BLT as I wasn't in the mood for Turkey.

After dinner, I went back to the bar and sat in the #3 seat. Well nothing much was happening when two young guys sat down 2 seats away to my right. They were in a good mood and were jabbering away when the guy closest to me let out a big shout. He had been dealt four to a royal, and he hit the last card for the royal. They started drinking shots and were just having the time of their lives. I knew one thing, that $5100 Royal would sure put me in a good mood. That surely would get me out of the "funk" I was in. Well after about 15 minutes after the young guy hit the Royal, he and his friend started whooping it up again. The guy hit four Aces with the kicker playing DDB. So this guy hit the two highest paying payouts within a half hour of sitting down. Boy! I sure needed some luck like that.

I was watching the Ravens/49er game, and when it got to halftime, I decided I was going up to bed even though I wouldn't be able to see the rest of the game as it was on the NFL channel. I had $300 left of the last $500 I withdrew making it a $900 loss for the day. Things better improve today, or I'm going to quit this game for good, and it will be a long time before I come back to Vegas.

My advice: forget Char and her jailbird associates. Go to Bellagio or PH and find a pretty whore for tonight.

A whore with drama? That is crazy. The whole point of paying for it is to eliminate the bullshit but you've got bullshit up to your ears.

so what services are you paying Sharlene's jailbird friend for?

Lmao that is a good one Karen.

The reason why you are losing is it is all karma. Instead of going to Vegas you should have stayed home and maken sure that Faye was doing better.

I think that you are actually happy that she is in the hospital and that Shar skipped out of rehab so that she can join you in Vegas and try to work magic with that limp sausage of yours. Pretty sure that was what the plan was all along.

But Snidely is right. It would be cheaper to find a hot whore on strip than to deal with that. Hell I bet you can find one hotter at Western than what you got if you want to know the truth!

My question is this though;

If Faye was such the hell raising woman that you make her out to be then why didnt you leave her when she was healthy?

Isn't what you have supposed to be a relationship of convenience? If I understand right, you are both in other relationships and you pay her for sexual acts, so wouldn't it make sense that she would only call you if she needs something?

Rick

I need some rest and I'm not going to post any trip report right NOW. But guess who's coming to town? Whoever said Santa Claus obviously doesn't read my TR's, so sit down and STFU. Yeah! Sharlene is on her way. She's just hitting the I-15 right off the I-10. In about three hours she'll be here.

Yesterday was no bargain, and today was more of the same, although I hit four 9's on DDB, and when I switched to BP, I got dealt four Aces with an 8 kicker, but it didn't matter since I was playing BP. The ONLY thing I seem to be hitting on is sports betting, and I won with Ohio State and Georgia today.

I have to take the "tribe" to dinner tonight as it's their last night here. Star will probably be getting in about the same time we have dinner. I'll leave her a key at the front desk so she won't have to bother me while eating. At least most of them will be leaving in the morning and we'll just have to keep quiet as her son has the adjoining room. I don't need him to tell his Mom that I've had company. At least tomorrow night we'll have to ourselves. I can't wait.

So I guess I'll update you in the morning after football starts, or earlier if I get up real early like usual.

Oh, that damn jailbird up in Elko won't leave me alone. Even after I told her I can't send her any more money, she keeps on calling me. She finally met her boyfriend up there, but he blew all her money that I sent, so now she has nothing. I feel bad for her, but I'm not the Bank of America, although I feel like it at times.
