Bizarro World 2023

Thanks everyone! As the old farmer said….I woke up on the right side of the grass, so today is a good day! When I was about 10, I would ride my bike to the egg farm ( not far ) and he would always say that when I asked him how things were going? He lived well into his late 90s. Just to say how things have changed, back then there were a few houses all on one street. They were built in the mid 1950s in response to the post WW2 boom. The house was new when we moved in. 13,000 bucks. It had been a potato field before. As far as the eye could see, there were woods and fields and farms. I 95 had not been built. Now when you look out, all you see are other houses. The rest is gone. You can hear the traffic from I95 in the distance. Step at a time till I get back to Bizarro. I’m sure it will be there waiting for my donation. . But maybe in the other direction this year.

Absolutely right Doris. Last year when I got the same thing, by the time I started getting better, my ribs felt like Sammy the Bull had hit me with a baseball bat. Just hang in there and get better fast. I want to hear another Kitty story when you feel like it. The reason I named this thread Bizarro is not only to talk about the Bizarro world of casinos and video poker, but anything that pops into one’s mind.

here's a kitty story olds: my cat won't sleep on the bed with me because she is scared of my cough.she will lay in my lap if i'm in the chair but as soon as i cough she bolts.

I think it is just the sudden movement. As you know cats can fly and leap in a split second. Just as a follow up, in the mid 1990s, my Kitty “ Little One “ was very aware of family illnesses. I had a super bad case of Chronic Bronchitis. Antibiotics were not helping, I was on a high dose of predisone which I didn’t like etc. My breathing was getting pretty bad. She climbed up on my chest and put her face not far from my mouth. I could tell something was going on. Also she made my entire chest feel warm almost hot. She would do this an hour at a time every few hours. In 2 days, all of my symptoms were gone. Amazing. The ENT specialist said that is rare but not unheard of. The power of animals!! I guess I should have snuck her into the casino. I bet she would jab me if I held an incorrect card. Only kidding of course, but I was eternally grateful to her. A year or 2 after that, my daughter caught pneumonia while away at school. She had to come home for awhile. Little one stayed with her for several days until she got better, almost ignoring the rest of the family. I’m sure your Kitty is looking out for you too. And such is the world of Bizarro that we live in.

Was just looking back on play over the last few months. The last hand pay was way back in September and it wasn’t even a Royal. I think I hit only 2 small Royals since then. My best guess is only those 2 small Royals in about 500,000 hands. No wonder why my loss for the year is so high compared to the year before which was no picnic either. Yikes.
