I'M BACK!

[Guest guest]

Hello, ALL!

Made it back from my week long company meeting in Tunica, MS. It

just totally amazes me to see what they have done to an old soybean

field in the middle of nowhere. I have been to several gambling

locations and this one was the strangest! I have been to Las Vegas;

Phillidelphia, MS; the MS Gulf Coast and all of them have been in a

major populated area. Not so with Tunica! All the casino's were

widely seperated and there wasn't so much as a gas station any where

near. Oh well, I am not the big gambler. I was up to $60 at one

time, but blew it along with my $40 limit. I had a pretty good time

anyhow!

The thing that really boggles my mind is the attitude change in the

people I delt with! There were about 130 folks there and I have

known the majority of them for the past 10 years. Needless to say,

most were shocked with my loss! Well, the old addage of " Men don't

make passes at girls with glasses " has forever been changed in my

mind. It should be (please don't take offense) " Men don't make

passes at girls with fat asses " ! I had the best time fielding those

passes!!! It was a great feeling! Since I have been married for the

past 26 (almost 27 years) I couldn't return the passes, but it sure

was a boost for my ego! The only trouble I had was with getting my

protien sups in.

Anyhow, I am back and very glad that I don't have to do it every

week. It is still a shock that I was treated like I really

belonged. I was treated like I was one of the professionals there

instead of someone to be avoided. When I spoke up, I was listened to

instead of ignored. Even though this company hired me at 300+ lbs, I

can see where I was at a disadvantage in my career aspirations.

Gotta run now. Very glad to be back!
