The Good, The Silly, the Amazing and the Bad

[cornerofmadness]

The good. Gram and Mom both won over 200$ gambling today (it's Gram's belated Christmas trip to the casino).

The silly - I thought my mom was bad when she told me to make sure I wore my coat to Columbus last weekend. Thanks Mom it's only 5 out today without you I would have gone in a tank top and shorts. Well today Gram took all Mom's winning slips from the slot machines so 'she wouldn't lose them,' that's right, young ones on my flist, you think YOUR mom treats you like a child, well get used to it. My mom is 65 and her mom is 92...you'll always be ten to your mommy.

The Amazing - The lucky Uncle has won at just ONE casino, since November, made 35,000 dollars. I'd like to pry that horseshoe out of his ass and insert into mine.

The Bad - Remember that aunt, the friend of the family, who died suddenly last summer, her daughter was just diagnosed with inoperable stomach cancer. They hope with radiation and chemo they can shrink it to operate but she already has liver mets. I'm not very hopeful. She wants mom to go with her one last time to Atlantic City (I told you this family and our friends gamble)

I'm sorry to hear about your aunt.

The typo regarding your uncle "has one" amused.

So sorry to hear about the friend with cancer... What a blasted, horrible disease.

And wow, lots of gambling luck. Yay grandma! And we all need to rub your uncle's belly for luck! (P.S. I'm curious: Does anyone in your family NOT enjoy gambling?)

Thanks, yes it is terrible


My father hates it

Ah ha - and he's also kindof the grumpo of the family, right?

I've never been a gambler myself - it seems to require a certain kind of patience that I lack.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes, yes he is.

i'm overly fond of all the blinking lights and whirling doo dads

That is so sad about your friend.

Your grandma treating your mom as if she's completely irresponsible is priceless.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and yes that's just funny as hell.

Only commenting on the bad: my prayers and good wishes for your cousin's health. Her youth is on her side, at least I hope so. ::hugs::
