My system was I would decide on a specific amount say like $100. I would play until I either spent it all and stopped at that point or as soon as my winnings exceeded my original $100. I would put the original $100 in my pocket and continue to play on their money. If I lost that, I was done for the day, if not I'd just play until I got bored, which for me doesn't take long, but no matter what I would either lose my original $100. go home downtrodden or if I had a lucky streak early I might play for hour but I went home with my $100 ready for another day. I probably lost the original $100 and went home grouchy or counting my winnings. Don't remember that last part happening often.
You wild and crazy woman you! Hope you didn't spend it all in one place.One time, I played a $1.00 scratch ticket. Scratched off the box, and it said that I won $1.00. Showed it to the guy in the convenience store and he asked me if I wanted to turn it in for another ticket to try again. I said no, "I would like my winning dollar, please."
, Carolyn dropped off an old mixing bowl to Megan that her grandmother wanted her to have, and brought me back one of the vegan carrot cake muffins that Emmy and Audrey had just baked…more deliciousness for ol’ Pappy (my apologies for the missing bite 
)…!!!!! 
I had the same system … only with a twenty.
Ditto here. $20 for each of us. We were on one of our yearly trips to the Wisconsin Dells and it was pouring outside and appeared it was going to be for a few hours. We decided to go and give our donation to the local Indians (casino). We just played penny slots, but I swear to you every time one of us would get down near a dollar we would hit. Never anything big, but always putting us back up. We made back our twenties and started playing on house money. After about 4 hours we gave up trying to lose or "win big". The rain had stopped and one of us made $13 and the other won $7. I have never tried so hard to lose money!
80° is perfect!
Sending oodles of prayers and pixie dust up to youUpdate:
The swelling was indeed excessive. So much so that it blew out some of the stitches.
Also, definitely allergic to Coban (3M brand of self-adherent bandaging).
Put me on antibiotics (6! a day) for a week due to the open-ness of one of the incisions, and an antihistamine for the blistery rash.
Continue to elevate. Continue to ice. He gave me 7 or 8 packages of 3” x 3” gauze, tape, and 4 old-fashioned tensor bandages for compression as tolerated.
Hoping to see improvement over the next few days.
Per your update: I hope this all passes by quickly for you. (That was interesting about the reaction to the Coban self-adherent bandaging -- will remember that for the future.)Update:

Just to the right of the moon will soon become the next Alien conspiracy instead of the reflection of those headlights in your window. The mystery has been solved.
