Shit man. Sorry to hear the news
Sending you good vibes **The pokies are SUCKING YOU DRY. Tell them to GET F----ED **
Losing punting money should be enough motivation to stop the pokies
Im one of the fortunate ones who dont get a buzz by spending company with a machine with flashing bright lights
Im sure you are way smarter than me (understand betting logic), so Im sure you know that the betting machine is designed to seduce - bright colours, flashing lights, the taste of small wins but always taking more than they give
I spend enough time with women who take more than they receive, and therefore could never put up with that from a machine
Dated a woman for the first time this week - dont know her from a bar of soap - she suggested this cafe a few floors up from QVB - then during the coffee conveniently suggested we eat at an expensive Chinese restaurant on the same floor
Good for her that the restaurant was pricey, good for her that she ordered seafood, and she expected me to pay the $10 (cafe) and the $75 (restaurant bill). I saw the ruse for what it was, and as a gentleman, I showed her the bill I asked "Do you mind to contribute $20 ?". Ok, Im a newbie at the dating scene, but women have the game all sorted out already
Sorry for the diversion, but its the same thing - spending company with someone/something, and getting far less than you give
