Tornado Alley (PROG)

My rose bushes, have 4, started out as scraggly little boogers too. Thee three red ones are the ones that really blew up. I have a white one too but sadly she doesn't perform like the others. She only blooms in the spring and really doesn't keep up with the rest of the team that constantly reproduce all season . I think in trying to feed her I gave the other ones a bunch of performance enhancement but it's still ok.

There's nothing wrong with gambling as long as it's within your means. If you put off paying your bills to play the pokies, then there's a problem. Sometimes you even might be able to win a bunch but you have to know when to walk away.

Now with the money you have saved, you can put it to better uses like home improvement or whatever. Treat yourself to a good meal from time to time.

I know when I quit drinking, I was astounded at how much extra dough I had and with smoking it got even better. Now, even though being single and living on a moderate wage I can still afford a good night on the town with my dates without having to whip out a credit card.

I'm no stranger to gambling. I pissed away a ton of dough when I was younger on sports bets and finally came to my senses. I still love to play blackjack at the casinos but I try to keep that to only once or twice a year. I usually do well but there are some nights where nothing goes my way and I'm gone in an hour.

Just have to know your limits. Quit when you're ahead is the hardest one. When we were young we had a card game every Friday and sometimes it lasted until Sunday. Until someone won everyone else's paycheck it didn't matter. II walked away from that table many times giving money back to people who I had won it from because I knew their wives and kids would not be happy when they went home broke.
