I think that overall casino profit is a reasonable estimation of the wages of sin.
So death equals negative 6.9 billion? IN some board rooms, probably.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

In terms of revenue, a dead gambler and a gambler who doesn't make the trip are functionally equivalent.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
That means I don't need to see a doctor, right?
I'd say you were getting better on your own. But then I've been told I am a bad judge of such things. To those people I remind them that I *did* go to the doctor when I had whooping cough. And a concussion. Eventually.

Okay, that's right up my colour alley. What brand is it?
Zoya.
My fingernails are black and I blame you all. But a) super cheap Walgreens polish (what? it was an impulse buy) and b) likely to fail catastrophically shortly as I am really tough on my nails.
You can touch it up with Sharpie! Not that I do that. Cough. (Much ~ma to the SO, btw.)
Awww. But that makes me feel old - back in my day, if you were gay and in high school, you stayed closeted until college.
In my day you... may have told a friend or two, on the DL, so that those in the life knew the other people in the life, and so on.
Of course, a year or two later, people were all like, open and stuff about it. And I was all, "Where were YOU girls when I needed a prom date? Huh?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Zoya.
Excellent. I will go shopping online when I get home. Thanks.
Oh, god, is it really only 10:30? Today will never end.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
The casinos are now offering people like me (penny slots and the lowest blackjack betting I can find that will still give me free booze, with a very firm limit on what I will spend) free hotel rooms.
I would say they are getting pretty desperate.
(I would also say I'm going to Vegas next week)

Phooey. Heard back from Nubar, no sales out of stores whatsoever. Even in LA. I find that mildly irksome, which will delay my ordering until I can get over my pout and suck up the $12 shipping charges.
phooey I say.
