OK, how's this...Don't worry, Be happy - but don't ignore your health! (nt)
>think about all those greens ($100 notes, not chips, the $100 notes are green here)....how many of them have had piss, crap, cocaine or blood on them....
over 95% of the "orginal" American C-notes contain trace amounts of cocaine.
have always liked autralia money compared to the (what i think you still use) white/green paper money...
our notes are all diff colours, slightly diff sizes (to stop people turing $5 notes into $100s etc) , made of plastic and EXTREMELY had to counterfeit, obviously it would cost quite a bit to start replacing the US notes...
maybe im in the wrong business....should move to the use start learning to use printing presses
I know I am getting this thread late, but that is because I haven't posted much lately. I have been quite under whether lately, with an nasty upper respiratory infection (aka "common cold"). It doesn't both me a whole lot unless I try to talk. But it is very difficult for me to get through a class with it.
I started coming down with this last week. It wasn't serious, and I really didn't pay it any heed. I made my scheduled casino visits. This was the big mistake. After all the exposure to the smoke, I was coughing and wheezing for several days.
Don't get me wrong, I don't believe that I caught this at the casino. But I do believe the second-hand smoke (which is casino is practically first-hand smoke) really irritated it and started most of my symptoms.
If I go away for a weekend gambling trip, I try to pack as many shirts as I can. SO says "Why are you taking 4 shirts if your only going to gone one night." Because after each session my shirt reeks so much of cigarettes that I have to change it.
So yes, I think gambling does have it health problems. The smoke is one issue. The whole lifestyle is another. I find it hard to diet on comped food. Have you ever seen anything low-cal at a buffet. Even the vegetables are drenched in fat. And I haven't noticed too many light dishes at the high-end restaurants.
Maintaining an exercise routine is also hard when your on a trip. I have gotten a bit smarter and I now try to stay at places that have treadmills. But even then � if you spent a lot of time and money travelling to lay BJ, it is hard to take time away from it for exercise.
The health issues are one of the reasons that "Being a Professional Gambler" is way down on my list of "What I want to do when I grow up."
reality check....germs are everywhere, theyre all over us, all inside us...most germs wont hurt us
basic hygiene like washing hands etc is enough....
if you touch anything used alot by the public (toilet, chips, money, door handles, your shoes and the ground) you yourself are spreading germs, and also collect them...
when you make physical contact with someone (shake hands, kiss etc) you dont know where they or theyre body has been...
just dont think about it and it wont matter...
learn to deal with it, its a part of life..
that I caught syphillis from dirty red chips on my last trip to Vegas and she didn't believe me! Go figure!
The thing that bothers me most in the casino bathroom is the attendant who always wants to give me paper towels. This bother me partly because it's just another tip hustle, but more because of the germs. The attenadant is often wearing gloves to protect his hands while he washes the toilet, but then he doesn't seem to have a problem handing me a paper towel with that gloved hand, getting those germs all over the paper towel. Yuck!
I have always thought the same thing. But besides that I
have wondered if the attendants hands and gloves were sterile,
what would be a good tip for this service--US half cents are
no longer circulated.
Of course in a place where ploppies give waitresses green chips
for delivering three ounces of cola, an attendant might expect
to earn big bucks for passing two or three germy disposable
towels 16 inches.
Perhaps my devoting time to this indicates I do not have a life,
huh. :->

I suppose I will get flamed by the Pisswaiter's Local 123 for this, but any loose change can readily be placed in the white tip jars on the wall. They are easy to spot, they have a little white soapcake in the bottom. :^X
