Wow – I think I did that entry okay on the first try, technically challenged as I am. I’m so happy and proud of myself I think I’ll write some more as I wait for Halloweeners to come to my door.
Does living and gambling in Vegas change a person? Sure! Do you know what one of my biggest problems was when I was in the hospital last week. I kept feeling I should tip everyone when they did something nice for me – but I didn’t have any bills in the pocket of my hospital gown, just the portable heart monitor. (Don’t worry about me, they were just doing a lot of tests to see why I’m not so perky these days. All came out okay, even the MRI to see if I still had a brain. I do.)
I just got an e-mail from the MGM Grand (where I don’t play, but I do play at sister properties so my name is on all their lists) with this subject: “Tweet your sins for a free night at MGM Grand.” I am SO SO tired of casinos using the word “sin” to try to attract younger customers. Is the younger generation that shallow – or totally devoid of higher standards?
I don’t know how to tweet – and I’m not sure I want to learn. I have lived quite happily for 70 years without tweeting.
I totally agree, I am not a bird so I neither tweet or twitter. Hey even blogging is rare for me.
But I do love to read yours. I’m so glad to hear you are doing better.
On the subject of LV and the younger generation….a local emergency room worker told me that the amount of drug over doses rose when LV began using the “What happens in Vegas….” slogan. It apparently gave the younger folks some bad ideas.
hi jean,
sorry to hear your still fighting this bug, but glad to hear your out of the hospital. like i mentioned before, lots of rest, (maybe with a little meditation if you can), will help. your body is trying to heal itself, you just need to let it. but like i said, thats hard to do in a place like vegas. i bet if you were somewhere else it would be easier. and i bet your mind would still be back in vegas. try to clear your mind when you rest. i think you’ll be surprised. anyway, just like you i’m just testing this new format. wish i was in vegas.
take care
