What a frustrating experience that was!

We went to Vegas once. My husband had a grand plan for roulette that turned into a big loss. He even caused lots of other people to lose big, because they got all excited and blew their money, too.

The last bet, I stood there with a $100 chip in my hand. I said "It's going to be 00". Which was 36 to 1. But I just didn't trust myself and didn't put the chip down. I was trying to, but just couldn't bring myself to do it.

It was 00!

Then we went to the slot machines. My grandma told me to play the third one from the elevator. After putting in as many dollar chips as I could stand, I walked away crying and told my husband we're leaving town early, even paying more for a flight home.

The minute I left the machine, someone else jumped on it, put in one coin, and hit the jackpot!

I never gambled again.

And I won't even go into the insanity of the stock market. I have only one word-- eBay!
