easy come, easy go

may 5 - 2007

ray and i went to the northern winz casino outside of Havre last week and had a blast - i’m wondering who made up the saying “easy come, easy go” - cuz that saying is only half true - the easy go part - the one nice thing is that they take canadian money at par - i had 25 US dollars of my own - gone in a matter of minutes - ray had 250 canadian so he gave me some money - gone - so we sat down at these two machines which were more like car video games than VLT’s - they had their own chairs and consoles so we had a race - both putting 20 dollars in at the same time - and seeing who would get to zero first - whoever lost the 20 - won - and the other person would have to drive home - well - isn’t that the way - when you are trying to lose money - you start winning - ray was getting a little excited whenever he won - saying stupid witch - that was because he was on a halloween theme VLT and whenever he got 2 or more witches - he won - I was on the gift from the Gods game - and there was zues, medusa and pegasus - the staff would stop and see how we were doing - seeing if i got the horse - that was good - but for us - BAD - so i suggest 20 dollars EITHER way - the first one to zero OR 40 bucks - wins - within 5 minutes - ray was at 40 and won -i was at about 33 - so i say double or nothing - loser drives home - first one to 60 or zero wins - well, by this time - all the ladies are standing around watching - rooting for us - and ta da - i win!! and cash out - i am such a wuss when it comes to gambling but - i made the 20 back ray lost - and the 20 i put in - and was still up 20 - it was the most fun we had all day - and the longest we lasted on a machine - and i spent my winnings on a fleece jacket for a souvenir - not a penny left - easy go? easy gone!
