Went and got Bird Seed for the Birds (DuH). Went to Grocery Outlet and found 2 ribeye steaks for $19. They looked aged pretty good. So we had those and a Baked Tater for supper. We had enough steak left over to make another...

Down $25

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 27 Nov

We decided to take a run over to the Casino Queen in East St. Louis and spend an hour or two, just for kicks and grins. It was really dead there, which was great, since there was virtually no competition to get on a machine. I...

TaxiLady @Ghostlady (2359) • United States 14 Nov

Thought I was going to have to take the computer back into the shop this afternoon. When I started it up it didn't want to even load my email. I saw it was trying, so I reached down and took out the WiFi and Bluetooth out of the...

Don't Get too Excited, Democrats—These Victories are Hardly Newsworthy

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 6 Nov

There's all this hype around New York City, Virginia and New Jersey. But folks, hold onto your britches. This isn't the news you were hoping for. Let me explain. New York City hasn't elected a true Republican mayor since Rudy...

You Take Your Wins Where They Come

I told you recently that Amazon delivered the goods, and I wasn't talking about an order that showed up at my door. I was talking about the stock jumping $22 a share on Friday. You have to have rewards. It has to mean something....

The Brewers Advance to the NLCS

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 12 Oct

I am not a sports fan. That's left to my wife. But I do support two teams, one in football and one in baseball. The Green Bay Packers and the Milwaukee Brewers. It's probably a product of my deep ties with Wisconsin...

One Ticket to Paradise

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 4 Sep

$1.7 billion. Just let that number marinate for a second. It's the kind of figure that makes your brain short-circuit and your wallet blush. But here we are—Saturday the 6th marks the next Powerball drawing, and thanks to a...

Rinse and Repeat

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 31 Aug

Much to my surprise, when I checked the status of the Powerball drawing last night, no one won and now the jackpot has advanced to $1.1 billion. I was sure last night would be the night. Of the tickets I bought online, I had no...

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 30 Aug

Tonight, in all likelihood, someone's life will forever be altered by the multi-state, United States Powerball drawing. When jackpot numbers reach $1 billion or more, the anticipation and excitement over that alone drives people...

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 22 Jun

I like to play the bigger lotteries like our state lottery that has a current jackpot of $10,550,000 and the Powerball which has a current jackpot of $128,000,000, but the little twice a day daily draw that starts off at $100,000...

Federal Court emasculates trump by taking away his (fantasy) tariff powers, Elon Musk slinks out of the government with a whimper and Wall Street Journal nicknames trump, "TACO"*

Mark-Paul @MarkPaul (302) 28 May 25

No doubt he and his cronies will spin all this as a big win as he claims to be taking a victory lap, but it's a distinctive sign that all is not lost. As evil as he is and as much in servitude the "Red Hats" and maga-Republicans...

MegaMillions for the Big Win

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 28 Nov 24

It's kind of depressing to some extent when you think about the cash option when it comes to the lottery, that the amount listed is not even close to what you take home if you win the jackpot if you aren't taking the annuity,...

The MegaMillions drawing was last night, and so of course I checked to see if anyone had won the jackpot. We bought tickets in Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida on our travels to Lake Mary which is near...

I used to play the Pick 3 numbers a long time ago and due to the odds of winning a huge prize playing a huge prize was not in my favor, I gave up playing that game. However on Monday in North Carolina around 5,662 lottery players...
