Liked my words for the 19th. Thank you. I really want to play and hope the chance presents itself. Haven't thought about going to the casinos over in Louisiana as they are going to have to spend a lot of money to repair the damage. My thoughts are, let them recover before going and giving them my money. Some of them are now open but jackpots and wins have been far and few between I have heard. Stands to reason they are reopened to make money and not give it away just now. They will have to loosen up or those that go regularly will pick some where else to go. We met a waitress where we eat sometimes and she told us she had hit the Wheel of Fortune a couple of years ago for 1.6 million at Isle of Capri and six months later she was a 2.3 million loser. She is working two jobs to help herself get back on her feet and reopen her business that was her main income. She has never gambled again and said she never would. That was a hard lesson for her to learn, she said. Said she had to sell everything she owned including her home, car, jewelry, stocks and business. She is very pleasant about her situation and has a good outlook on life. She is really an excellent waitress. Started her business as a single woman and made a success out of it. She is so determined and I believe she will come back out of all the misery she put herself in. Said she should be clear within another eight or nine months. At least she is not blaming anyone but herself and is honest about her mistakes and we wished her the best in overcoming all of her misfortune. Said her family and friends have not abandoned her because of her determination and they believe she will overcome it all. Said she has bought nothing since, paying her bills and saving every penny she makes. What a story to hear.
