UPDATE:
Thanks for thinking and asking about me.
Sorry I've been MIA for sometime, darn economy has me working too hard to visit LVA much less travel to LV.
That new "Lady Friend" is now the new "Mrs Blade" as of a couple months ago.
Neither of us had any kids so it's just 3-dogs, 1-cat and 1-chew toy in our family.
She's a Delta Flight Attendant who has laid over in Vegas many times but never really gambled. I finally got her into a casino, showed her how to properly gamble and use the comp system (thanks to all the years of knowledge I've learn from my LVA family).
Picture below is from Myrtle Beach casino boat last summer, had her sit down beside me at VP to watch, I was dealt 4 aces with kicker on my second hand. Told her that was the way it's suppose to work... LOL Handed her several big bills to play and shop with, she did good too that night and now she's hooked just like the rest of us.
She and her spouse can fly free anywhere Delta goes, plus we still get good room comp offers so will be returning to Vegas in 2012 for a few visits.
Thanks again for all your kind thoughts and support these last few years. I deeply appreciate all the friendships I've made with several of you. You have my best regards.
Happy Holidays and best wishes from the new Mr & Mrs Blade and see you around the forums and Vegas in the months to come.
