I've always thought that gambling in general was a tax on those who don't understand probability by those who do understand brain chemistry. I lost $0. Though it was sometimes fun watching other people support the Las Vegas economy. What's lost in "Lost Wages" stays in "Lost Wages". :)

But now I can gamble all I want since on the last day I went to the M&M world-store on the strip and bought a Slot-Machine-Type of M&M dispenser for my kids - it's way cool and I'm sure I'll use it more often than they will ;-)) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Donnerstag, 30.

Oh that reminds me, I forgot to hand mine in. :o) I had to fly out Wed evening and was running around like my shorts were on fire trying to take care of some stuff that was absolutely mandatory prior to trying to get through security at McCarran. I would say that venue would be suitable for next year unless Sydney was an option... You could rent a jumbo jet and fly everyone going to the presession down in it and actually have the presession on the flight, that would certainly make it seem like the flight went faster. My return ticket though would have to be valid for a month as I know a lot of folks down there and would need to go say hi and collect on some beers I am owed. Odd thing is I spent no more than $60 on gambling. $20 of it was spent showing Guido how US slot machines worked in the Belagio. $20 was spent when I was passing a $1 Wheel of Fortune progressive slot on the way to the rest room because it called out to me and said it would make me financially independent for the rest of my natural born life (it lied), and finally $20 was spent while I sat at a bar playing Jacks or Better waiting on Dean and company to go to dinner not realizing that they didn't see me sit down next to them and were waiting on me to get there. I was up $80 bucks on that thing and then gave it all back. joe (The joe of the Dean and joe show, the j in www.jadonex.com) -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gil Kirkpatrick Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 6:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Quiet?
