So mysoginistic.
Hey, he was the one who insulted my mother. If you want to throw the M word around, it certainly is more applicable to Viv. But you bring up a good point. I can't be having meltdowns to potential trolls. I have a huge bulls-eye on my back and I need to remember this at all times.

If this is simply a semantics issue, I apologize. I'm also sorry for calling you a bad word. I edited my post since the mods will certainly give me an infraction for this.
Most people don't see gambling the same as a financial investment, I guess. With gambling, you are guaranteed to lose at some point. It's more about the thrill / experience than it is about actually making sustainable income. By the way, I appreciate the apology.

That shot was supposed to be a joke to silly things up and lighten the mood. I mean, seriously, how could you read that and not laugh at how obscenely retarded it was?

Yes, that's why it can be difficult to communicate on message boards. Tone of voice goes a very long way in these situations. I understand you were joking and harbor no ill regard towards you.

Gambling included - $11k + $50 bar tab

No gambling included (but date included) - Something in the $900 range for dinner + event tickets + flowers + drinks

Only spent on myself - Probably $700ish if you include paying for a hotel room ($500 without room)

Does an expensive hooker count if you didn't pay her?
