Katie,

I tried to smoke "puffs in and out".

I social drink - just enough to wet my lips without the drink getting into my mouth.

I gambled with my MD brother in blackjack with his money - when the dealer hit my cards my heart beats faster and my face turned red - so he asked me to stay away.

I gambled this trip in the convention in Casurina, I applied for a slot card then they gave me $10.00 seed money to play the machine. I thought they would give me the cash but I have to play the machine. I used my two quarters to initialized and activate the free money - without reading the slot machine payoffs and what have you I started playing. I was down to the last 8 quarters of their seed money and I as about to loss $0.50, then the machine went "waco", made so much sound and noise and clings and clangs plus the lights went on - I stood up to ask the attendant. I was told that I hit good amount of coins. I went back to the machine - this time I read everything on the slot glass and I re-read the push buttons - I was so scared that I might touch the wrong button and loss everything (void my winnings). I play for a while then I cash in for the ticket at $132.00. Went to the cashier -tipped her $5.00 and went back to look for Ross Poppel and Terry Shaefer. I told them what happened. The following day the 3 of us went back. Ross and Terry applied for the cards and played and won some money from the same machine I played earlier

I tell you now I have not told Rosa or my two sons yet.

But here is hoping that you will teach me "hows" on the things I don't do to be a professional and well rounded chipper.

I am in good hands - Professor Katie.
