bingo

Thursday, January 15, 2009

I went over to my friends last night..She had a doctors appointment..in a bad section of town so i volunteered to go with her..in the waiting room i had a nice chat with a woman about the  same age as me..we discussed how we make home made lotion for our skin. ..her skin didnt have  any  wrinkles..my skin doesnt have any wrinkles either..my friend who is a year older than me has alot of wrinkles..she constantly uses that antibacterial soap that you dont have to use with water..i wonder what that does to your skin..well any ways this lady was telling me her recipe on lotion she says she mixes cocoa butter lotion with mineral oil and shea butter..i mixed up a batch similar to what she said..and it went on my hands and made them so soft so much better than using just any old store bought lotion..i also use hand made cold processed soap on my skin and so did this lady but my friend just uses what ever she finds at the store  and you can really tell there is a difference..later that day my friend wanted to go to bingo..i said i would go not willingly tho..it costs 20.00 dollars to sit in a smoky room trying to win money..my friend goes every wednesday...so thats 80.00 dollars a month if you think about it by the year thats 960.00 dollars..in my opionon thats alot of money to waste..well her mother won 60.00 dollars that night..i couldnt see why she was so happy  thats what it cost all three of us to play...so basically she got her money back..i guess i am an old tightwad i wanted to save my 20.00 dollars for the first season yard sale in the summer..or even at the thrift store where i could have bought a whole bag full of summer clothes for 20.00 dollars..some how the two of them couldnt see my point about bingo..

Occasionally I play the slots at local casinos - but always look for the non-smoking section! And I calculate how much I put in by the "free" drinks (and the bargains on food) I get so it pretty much comes out even. I did win $250 once, tho - that was nice. But whew! $20 for bingo??
