KarmaCruisers

Also, yes I’m definitely enjoying this cruise! I feel good exercising in the mornings and it almost make me have a more positive self-image. (I’m still not close to the weight I want to be to have a “positive” self-image..but making “smart” choices helps)

Thanks! no; I didn’t see her…but then again there was almost no one in the casino that early. i have to go back at 1 for another $20 slot pull, and also wash out my freeplay. So, we’ll see

Yeah, PURE rack for a balcony is $784 (I just looked); so..realistically I don’t think the “juice is worth the squeeze” and in the future will just wash the gift cards to collect the profit of $1000 and just use THAT to actually PAY for whatever a balcony costs. It was a fun math experiment though

EDIT: I forgot about my $200 freeplay that I have coming later today (I expect on video poker I can wash that out to $150) I also earned a $60 emerils Comp; so that adds in

To add, now I need to see if $758 actual cost is potentially worth a “free” cruise. (I don’t think so; unless they continue to give me free balconies..which JUUUST might swing it over to “worth it”)

So out of $10,000 coin-in, my return was $8242; which makes actual return percentage really easy, 82.42%. However it only cost me $9000, so my actual loss is only $758. Im debating buying another $2000 worth just to “suck out” for the free $200 boost. ahh; however then I think I may get weird looks as I’d be over $10,000 carrying limit (without declaring and *****) through TSA. My next action is lunch at ChiBang in an hour

Yeah that was actual class. most people have never even been to Reno; let alone ventured down to the river area (back in the day) Only us dregs of society. Haha

Wrong Cal Neva..not the one on north shore Lake Tahoe that Frankie once owned. im talking the poop hole in downtown Reno. (MOST people never even heard of it haha) it’s the only casino that I know of; where you could die at a slot machine and no one would notice for a week!

WHAT!? When did my old broad close!??!

No luck. $1745 today im REALLY inclined to think they have these machines EV set to 80%. (Which is like bottttttom of the absolute lowest return these games can go)

Final $2000 worth of gift cards loaded..let’s go see if we can get lucky!

She wasn’t in to fancy things (and neither am I, tbh) We(I) live(d) super plain.

Boring me..ordered the same as the other SeaDay Brunch…Veggie Omelette with no cheese, Brunch Potatoes and the Fruit Cup. On another note; I think I feel better being on this cruise that I would feel at home, because almost everything at home reminds of me the “wife”. (Even though I’ve moved everything she left into one room and keep the door closed)…it’s still tough because we actually designed the home from the ground up. Which I’ve thought about moving, but the interest rates are pure trash right now (we’ve got 4% fixed). A lot of is too is the damn swimming pool..personally I wouldn’t have bought it but she wanted it..and I had the cash and of course I can’t say no. Ciest La Vie

Haha my Lead Server has got it maaaaaade.

Good morning! Look at the sun! (from Willy Wonka, lol) So I got up early, put in my 20 minute mile. Came back to the cabin and got cleaned up and I’m heading out for Sea Day Brunch (those brunch potatoes were gooood) Obligatory shirt of the day (I had this one custom screen printed because Club Cal-Neva is honestly the dumpiest/sketchiest casino in the world, haha..at least it was when I was going in the 00’s)

Most likely just tomfoolery. I’m sure my brain is playing tricks on me and she was just an NPC picking a different machine.

You pay your nickle; you take your chances.

??

As an aside earlier in the casino; I think a lady might have been following me/trying to talk to me. I THINK she was with a guy; but i swear, the first dragon link I was playing on one side of the casino; she sat down next to me, and I could almost feel her watching me play (I really don’t pay attention to the machine because I’m just mindlessly pressing the button until I get to 800 points for the day) so I get up and go to a complete different part of the casino, to play a different bank of dragon link’s..sure enough; this lady comes and sits next to me. This time though she asks if I had just played her machine (I did for a minute before she came over there) and then we made general chat about slots not paying out, etc. I don’t think I saw a ring on any finger, and she’s not UGLY, so I mean…if she exhibits the same behavior again tommorow (my last slot play day) [and I can confirm she’s not with a guy] I may just impregnate her.

I wonder how cheap this cruise actually was; with as many blue cards as I’m seeing?

LOL whaaat the? happy Cole’s show JUST LET OUT and the next show in 30 minutes the line is alresdy mobbed deep. forrrrrget that, ain’t NO comedian on CARNIVAL that funny (but I mean, lolz at the line) SO, to bed I go..at least to watch TV/youtubez for an hour

So here’s my other plates at Emeril’s (there was no way I could touch my phone while eating those saucy crab claws, haha) I ate all the claws and all the BBQ shrimp. I’d say I ate a quarter of the Jambalaya and a quarter of the red beans & rice (really didn’t expect the portions to be so big!) still gotta put in the steps again in the morning..but to help; I’ve been walking the stairs up and down. (Just walked five flights up after this feast; had to come back and brush my teeth and wash my hands real good) Heading out in just a few; to go see Happy Cole do an 18+ comedy show at 9:45. After that, it’s bedtime!

It was GOOD!

First course.. they SMELL amazing!
