LOL, that's great. I wouldn't get taken by a friend across the street even, whether I would need to save up enough for it or not. You are one lucky lady.

You are one lucky lady. oh yes, and that's just a start of what my friends are like....I have one friend who went on vacation last summer, but called me every week to help me with some online tests& also she edited my school papers before I submitted them... . She has spent 3 hrs at my home helping me with my assignment! Don't know what I'd do without her! I say what goes around .... comes around!

I saw Elvis in Vegas, near the end of his prime, 1972. Trippy. The second he finished a song, as a unit, everyone would jump to their feet, applaud, whistle, stomp, then as one, whoosh to be seated. It finally occurred to me why. No one wanted to miss a second of such a performance. Breathtaking. CircusCircus used to have an overhead acrobatic show going on all the time, that was interesting, except people would bump into you as they craned their necks upward to watch. Will you see some shows?

I've never been. I don't plan on ever going because I wouldn't make it out.

When I went thru Vegas they had slot machines at the end of the grocery check-out lane. And a gas station I had to stop at had them on the stall wall so you could play while doing your business! Good thing I don't care to gamble...

I am a bit... different. My friends don't like me that much, and some, not at all. You see, I can go around as much as I like, but they never come around.
