Went to bet horses at Pocono Downs and played slots for an hour. After 30 minutes I decide to play 26 cent Wheel of Fortune. I played at one machine then moved to the next. After that machine I moved over. After going through $60 without anything I hit for $31,000. The funny thing is it didn't faze me. A lot of people were excited but I was cool as a cucumber. The funny thing is I'm going to pay off a lot of bills then I'll have enough to pay my truck off and get a flat screen. I want to get the money out so I'm not tempted to blow it. I want to make it seem like I never won yet get some burdens off my back.


What burns my ass is I tipped two slot attendants $100 EACH and a security guard $20 since they walked me out to my truck. Call me cheap but I could have used that for better reasons.



what are the tax's due ...?

state and or local

yyz, I concur 100 percent, religion, followed closely by education.

Saint, I went to a small ivy in the middle 80' s, got a bs in engineering. My brother (8 years younger) went to Harvard which by then was nearly double what I would have paid had I chosen to go there. His wife is a Harvard & Oxford educated Dr., he has his MBA from Boston University.

You think freshmen English, calculus and some required elective is worth 60 Grand a year? It's a fuking scam. How do you think they pay the football coach 6 million a year?

WOW. That has to be the first time I've heard an Ivy League grad refer to higher education as a scam. I'm curious as to which "small" Ivy you attended. My daughter is enrolled at Cornell, the largest undergraduate enrollment of all ivies at roughy 13,000. The remaining 7 all have undergrad enrollments under 10,000. So they are all "small" . Incidentaly, no Ivy League fotball coach(1AA) has a salary over $200.000 yearly . For that matter, I dont believe any division 1 coach has a salary that even approaches that six million figure.

Just sayin.
