Living in Arizona, you see a lot of ads for Casinos and Lawyers. All of them seem to be aimed at people who don’t have the brightest of brains. But never in all the ads, have I seen the suggestion that gambling should be used to solve money woes. Apperantly in New Mexico, a local casino did just that and then pulled the ad finally. What type of idiotic person came up with the idea for that ad anyhow? And worse is, what the hell was the advertising department thinking by actually running it. It doesn’t take much intelligence to realize that by putting that ad out there, you were searching for the uneducated and gullable citizens. These are the same people who buy into Get Rich schemes on the internet. At some point they’ll realize that these don’t work but at what cost? I think the casino should be fined or somehow prevented from using such an obscure and dangerous ideal to up their sales.

You are a novice. An experienced one. The road that lies ahead is no less long and winding than what it was, but your sense of direction is better than it was when you started your career as a practitioner of MT-Do.

Very interesting indeed. Actually, I think it fits, being that I’ve only had two tickets thus far. Of course, we always think better of ourselves than we really are, so maybe others should take this test about a particular person. Then we’d get the best results, lol.
Anyway, what type of driver are you?
I spent this weekend away from the computer and not by choice, lol. I was busy helping the roomies work on the backyard since they bought this house officially. We put an above ground pool in yesterday, dug a hole for the pond and started doing the brick patio. The brick patio is sort of an extension on the existing one, but it’s being done by hand with 4 by 4 by 2 brinks. Tons of fun, I tell you!
Today we got up early and headed to Home Dept. We bought a bunch of flowers and I planted them around the pond and in some planters that are staying in the back. It’s really pretty, lots of color going on. Rach, I think you’ll love them when you see them this summer, if the heat doesn’t wilt them to nothing, lol.
And we did more of the patio. I’m going to continue working on the patio this week. We have brick walls and are extending the patio completely around the pool and leaving enough area to have a grill, table and chairs, and maybe a bar. We don’t have nearly enough bricks yet, but we’ll buy them as we go.
