Please no group buy in. I hate lotteries. But when there’s a group buy in I feel compelled to buy in because I’d feel so shitty if I lost and all of piggingtonia were gloating of their windfall. But I definitely don’t ever want to buy a lottery ticket or any portion thereof. I hate all gambling but esp lotteries. If I were a betting man which I’m not I’d bet on me.
Incidentally saw the hustler 1961 on netflix w Paul newman. Awesome flick. On the dangers of gambling, in part vis a vis your soul.
Even though I’m pro drug legalization I’ve always been too cheap to actually use them. Be the same way if they legalized pot. I can get a not bad fifth of bourbon, some vermouth and bitters all for under 20 bucks and get way more fucked up than 20 dollars of pot. Screw legalized drugs. They’re going to have to get prices way down, Walmart level, before I’m interested.
i was just discussing with my kid how every time you acquire a possession it’s kind of got a n accompanying maintenance/insurance/care factor. there is nothing you can get that is not a pain in some way to keep. he kind of got it, although i suppose he is thinking more along the line of consumables which aren’t really keeping things.
what is there one can get that is not a chore to keep?
good health? not a “thing”…
we did yesteday buy some very old industrial style styeel and wood pallets from an old envelope factory, heavy and very beat up, for a coffee table, which ianticipate will have a very low maintenance factor.
kind of the opposite of the fancy new european car my wife acquired.
even a rental home just seem s like a pain in the ass
