Stylin' at Borgata

Need I say more?

My hump, my hump, My Poker Grump, my lovely little Poker Grump is responsible for this.  Thank you Grumpy.

Poker Grump, the most awesome guy in Vegas, did a post about my frustrating experience at Borgata where he asked his readers who to get in touch with at Borgata.  Grump and his readers came through for me in a big way and provided the name and email address of the director of poker operations at Borgata.  Who says men are just good for hooking up computers?  Oh me.  Whatever.

I wrote to the man and provided him with my "I'm a Borg-hatah" post. 

I received the email I posted yesterday from the executive office asking me to call them, which I did and left a voice mail.

Today the receptionist buzzes me and asks "Do you have any dealings with Roargata from New York?  This might be a sales call."  Isn't she precious? 

Joanna from the executive office apologized profusely and sincerely.  She said the matter was looked into in depth with their security team.  They found that the ID I provided WAS acceptable and should have been accepted.  Aha! 

Lesson to be learned here:  Mama is always right.

As a gesture Borgata is giving me a free night of my choosing whenever I want.  In a suite.  With dinner provided.

I couldn't ask for more, could I?

If you know me at all you know the answer is yes, sure I could!

I told her that when I go to AC I usually stay for two nights not one but she couldn't give me a second night.  Booo!

So I will play at Borgata!  Someday. You know what else I'll do?

I will thank Poker Grump in person when I see him in Las Vegas.  And by thank him I mean......well never you mind but here's a visual....


If you see Poker Grump looking like this, Josie was there.

Play smart and have smart friends like Poker Grump.

Josie

Suite? Can I crash on the couch?

Seriously, though, lemme know in advance when you are going to AC, and maybe we can meet up down there.

It pays to complain when you're not treated well at any place...especially the casinos. That is awesome...

Well, I'm surprised. Nice. I'm impressed with your perseverance, with the Grumper's resourcefulness and with the Borgata's doing the right thing.

again, not really impressed by the Borgata's response. As an infrequent player there, I can get 2 rooms comped a WEEK Sun-Thursday, plus other stuff. Considering you flew down there expressly to play there, they should easily give you 2 free nights, and a Buffet pass at least for Breakfast, if not all 3 meals.

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.

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 a...
