Massachusetts' Casino Bill


The debate to to bring casinos to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts continues on.  Will we or won't we?  The bill, along with it's 182 amendments is still with the Senate.  Gambling proponents claim a casino moratorium only sends tax dollars across state lines and wax poetic about the jobs to be created.  Others say casinos are a breeding ground for illegal activities and foster gambling addiction. 

Personally I am not necessarily dying for a casino or three to be in place in Massachusetts although I don't see alot of wrong with it.  We already have scratch tickets and keno for the degenerate gamblers who don't want to travel, don't we?  How much deeper into the depths of depravity will casinos plunge us?  It's not like we're talking about legalizing the dog fights that go down every Friday night at midnight at Faneuil Hall.  Those are illegal and will remain so!  See.  We'll still be one up on Michael Vick.

As far sending our tax dollars across state lines, you all know I'm a prime example of that.  For me, the casino debate isn't as momentous as you might think.  If we build a few casinos it'll be a little more convenient for me to play poker.  If we don't, I will still play in NH, Connecticut and God help me, Atlantic City.  Maybe a compromise would be to have the casinos just straddling our state line so the actual gambling happens in Rhode Island, or as I call it, Massachusetts' Mexico.

Play smart hombre.

I have no idea how you win a poker when you equate it to scratch tickets. eii eiii eiii.

I would love a casino in downtown Boston. I hate the hours of driving to Foxwoods or what not. Blah!

Dogs Are Vermin

I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. Sugar Bear does. I especially don't like small dogs. I'm considering getting a dog, a chihuaha.  I must be out of my fucking mind.  The dog needs a home and it's free (I'm fucking cheap).  Sugar Bear doesn't know of this thank goodness. OMFG I should just say NO like Nancy Reagan, or as Waffles said, Barbara Bush.  :P Oh and there are a couple of new blogs on the blog roll over yonder. --->  Check out the newbies, Rob and Cranky.  Good shiat. Josie PS I should really just say no instead of ruining my life, right? PPS As luck would have it Sugar Bear has always wanted a chihuahua specifically.  :(  and a duck.

The Very Josie was Very fun yet I'm Very frustrated. (looking at you Jordan) We ended up with (13) players.  Not too shabby, considering it was Dank night. The players were: 1. Coop 2. Frankie Baby 3. Gary 4. Jordan 5. Kattitude 6. Lucky Duck 7. Memphis Mojo 8. The Lovely Very Josie 9. WolfsButt, I mean Wolfshead :P 10. Edgie??? 11. GoBurn1 12. My sis, PrettyCat1 a/k/a Cricket 13. Baynes Baynes made an entrance showing up a tiny bit late, but what a pleasant surprise.  I could've kissed that frog!  (frog avatar)  Baynes I think you can leave work at a decent time one a month, right?  The Very Josie is only once a month! 2 tables.  I started off with Mojo, Kat, Edgie, GoBurn1, Baynes & Ducky at my table.  Started off playing good and stayed that way.  Caught some decent cards early on and kept the chips I won.  But that Damn Mojo was a thorn in my side for the whole game.  He got MORE chips early on and held onto them too.  Mojo will now be called Nem

Upset

I got a lot of much needed sleep last night and woke up with intentions of writing a very funny story but plans have changed my friends. I just read Tony's Latest Post and I'm too worried or upset to write about anything so frivolous.  I think many of his readers just see him as an interesting story, and not a person.  I see the person, who I was trying so very hard to steer away from a train wreck, but it didn't work.  In fact, the part that scares me the most is maybe I, with my good intentions, pushed him further off the cliff.  Maybe I put too much pressure on him to avoid the machines - too much pressure about something he is unable to control.  I need to shut the fuck up and stop giving out unsolicited advice, which most likely will not happen.  I cannot express how badly I feel about this. I was only trying to help because sometimes when you're in the eye of the hurricane you don't have the entire picture, at least not as well as someone on the outside l
