B I N G O

Michelle is a Bingo fanatic. She loves it. If you are looking for her on a Friday night, go to the Bingo hall. Breezy calls her a Bingo dork and she is right. She has her bingo bag with here ink thingy's and her good luck charms. She has made friends with a group of women and they all sit together every week and now one of them emails with Michelle too. I make fun of her about her bingo the same way she makes fun of me about the computer. She has bingo nerd friends and I have computer geek friends. I'm glad that Michelle has found a hobby. I do wish that it didn't consume every Friday night though.
So I giggle and point my finger at her and call her a bingo dork all the time. There would be no occasion that could get me to go to bingo. I hate it. HATE IT. 4 hours of sitting in an uncomfortable chair just waiting to lose all of my money. Me? not so lucky. So it is not fun for me.
Michelle? oh so lucky. In the last 6 weeks she has won a total of about $3000. Yes I said 3 grand. Last night she won over $1200. Can you believe that there is such money in an old lady's game? The best part of this for me is that she tips me when she wins. Last night she gave me $200. I made $200 just sitting home. What on earth would motivate me to go if I can sit home and make money.
I do appreciate that she gives me cash though. She doesn't have to do that and she is being very generous with me with her winnings. I think I'll not complain about her Friday night outings without me. *grin*

P.S. I just might get her to post in my blog. When I told her about it and how she could get to know my friends better and interact with them without it being instantaneous, she seemed sort of interested. Stay tuned, Michelle may make her debut into my computer world just yet.

Hmm. Can I borrow $50? (In order to understand the funniness that is this comment, you must read someone else's blog. I'm not going to tell you who's blog. It'll be like a SCAVENGER HUNT!!)

Michelle!! Come play with us!!
*smooches for you both*

PS- Mich, I don't know how you put up with her. *grin*

Don't let her fool you. I'm a walk in the park.

Do you guys actually yell "BINGO" when you win? I also heard if you yell "bingo" when you don't really have bingo, the bingo thuds can put you away for a long, long, long time. Can you confirm this please, Michelle?

Also Carey, can you get your blog to "thread"? I want to be able to post under certain people. Maybe the $200.00 that your generous GF gave to you can go toward creating a better, more efficient playground for us. Thanks.

Wow! Michelle is lucky! And generous too.
I've only been to Bingo once, but I had fun. I was only 20 and this guy I was dating used to take his Gramma and her friends, so I went along. I thought that was so nice of him.
I know when you have friends to play with it's funner.
Winning probably makes it fun too!
Nice to see you Michelle!
And remember, Ladybugs are lucky!

Monsty?
You are supposed to nest in your own space. Did you run out of things to organize?

She's taking over, Carey!

Monsty, Yes, you do yell bingo and yes the old biddies hiss and yell at you if you don't have Bingo. The old blue hairs even get mad when you do win. It's very scary. Last night I ran to my car afterwards just to be safe.

Monsty,
Absolutely NOT. I will not have threads. If I did that you people would start serious discussions about how 1 in 5 kids in China do not have Hot Wheels and how every 3 seconds a butterfly dies in Africa because it doesn't have sufficient smog. This will not become your personal, political and religious message board.

Buggy,
Unfortunately Monsty has been my own shrink, free of charge for the past year and half. I almost have to let her take over. I realize this is most frightening but soon she will pop that bun out of the oven and then she won't have time to boss us around.

Michelle: Just what I figured. I envision a lot of Pattys and Selmas there. (that was a Simpson reference) Oh well. At least your hobby involves real people, you win money and it sharpens your mental skills. (Well ok, that last one was a stretch) Conversely, we OTers hang out with invisible people, win no money...and well, let's just say the intellect is not honed.

I am going to try to post my blog as my webpage b/c Carey is getting all the love and all the attention and I just cannot have that happen.

LMAO.
I'm not used to all of this attention. Of course, looking back, half of the attention is from myself. *snort*

Well as much as I want to stay and play, I need to scrub the kitchen floor, take a shower and empty the cat box before our company comes. It would be helpful if Carey would get off of the computer and go shopping.

I already vacuumed and showered and now she expects me to shop. What a tyrant. But a tyrant who won money so I guess I can do as she tells me.

Maybe next time you give her the $200.00 *AFTER* she completes her chores.

OMG, she is rolling her eyes and asking "what chores"
did I forget to mention that I also dusted my 49er room too. How quickly she forgets. Now I am going to wait to go shopping until she can go with me.

So, this is where everyone has been today.

Hi Michelle! I want you to know Carey is mean to me sometimes and says I am old. She also makes fun of my love for office supplies. If I were you I wouldn't give her any more of your winnings. *grin*

Also, do you have a lucky BINGO seat? And if someone sits in your lucky seat do you whack them with your BINGO bag to make them move?

*smooch* to Michelle

*noogie* to Carey

I don't wanna clean anymore. I just want you all to know that. I've only gotten my kitchen done so far and I've been cleaning for an hour. *sigh*

Carry on.

I don't like Charmin. It's too fuzzy.

Sorry. Charmin's all I got. You'll get tp'd in it and you'll like it, dammit. :P

Okay, so I figure if you guys can have a blog, I can too, right? Off to figure this crap out.

Hi Michelle,

I am Wheeze, soon to be your new roommate!

That's right, Carey invited me to live with you. Isn't she nice?

I am not good at cleaning, but I am so good at bingo, really. You can have all my winnings as rent money. And then we? three? can go buy one of those fun, round, musical beds and just roll around all day.

Lisa,
You lost me at "I'm not good at cleaning" after that, I heard nothing. *shakes head*

Wheezy? she makes the bed when I get out to pee in the middle of the night. That is no lie. When she is around I will have her confirm this.
She is a freak

hospital corners are going to be a real bitch for her, aren't they?
*snort*
I say why make the bed when it's just going to get messed up again.
