My father had an old, non-electric typewriter that eventually was relegated to the garage then thrown out. I'd love to have it now. But despite the nostalgia, I think I'll stick to the computer or my handy netbook for writing. I also remember retyping pages of my early work over and over again because it would bad to have too much white out on the page. I remember taking typing classes way back in the 70s.

I just check this stack of losing tickets I recirculated into the 2nd chance lottery and I'm personally shocked at how much $$$ I actually wasted trying to obtain something that just ain't there. Sure I've won $50 $30 $20 here and there, but that's nothing compared to the whole grand sceme of things. That compulsive gambler mentality I have is quite illogical to say the least. Just like they say in Vegas, The house ALWAYS!! wins. Yet it's easier said than done to quit with that ever-looming inner gambler saying "The next one's bound to hit, you're owed at least one good winner" They got the market cornered with fools like me. Since they donate a percentage to education, maybe they'll build a school in my honor LOL.... wishful thinking. Well, Thank you to whomever wasted their time listen to me rant & rave. Maybe I deverted someone from falling in this bottomless trap. Thank you for listening and hopefully I gave someone some insight towards the patheticness of this hopefull (potential!?) winner.
