Nothing like getting rid of a 15-year-old desk and filing cabinets to bring back memories. Slot cards from casinos we haven’t entered for many many years, some of which don’t even exist anymore. Strategy charts from games we won’t ever play again. Win/loss records for our 30 years of gambling – a perfect example of the “long term.”
Thank goodness I have my Mom-you-don’t-need-to-keep-this daughter visiting me for a couple of weeks. She is a master organizer – wonder where she got that? – but a tough taskmaster when it comes to reigning in a squirrel.
And here is my favorite memory find, a 2003 receipt from the Palms Kids Quest. Grandkids Kaitlynn and Zachary were 9 and 10 and I had signed them up for “unlimited” comps at this child care center. They were already experienced comp hounds so had no problem running up the bill!
Fast forward to today. Kaitlynn is in town visiting, along with her mom Angela – you know her as the Frugal Princess – co-author who helped me write More Frugal Gambling. And you might not be surprised to learn that since Kaitlynn has now turned 21, our plan for the day is a major coupon run.
I hope that all of the family has a great day!!
Hi Queen, Been gambling for 40 years as of August 1. I still have a good time running all over Hell, I mean Vegas cashing coupons. When non gaming friends come to town, some even ask if we can go on a coupon run! Thank you for your labor of love.
Le Royale Flush.
I need your daughter to come visit me!
