Sorry, I avoid those things!! I know from playing Pinochle that I'd lose my shirt and then some!!! Don't know when to say when!! Great post, though!!
If I had one in my home I would never get anything done. They are addicting. And they are a great selection you showed. Super blog
Now Curio, you know we had more fun on the Keno machines! ;)
I do like those keno machines, too... unfortunately I can never get on one here unless I go before 8 am or after 11 pm... I think people just camp out on 'em with their water bottles, snacks, and Depends!
