It's a game of chance and skill. If you have a bad 3rd baseman they can really screw you up, so I usually play 3rd. You can control the cards somewhat but the real skill lies in knowing what's coming. If you know what's coming you know if you should drag or stack your bet. I can honestly say that I was way better back then, when I use to go a lot. I was able to somewhat count cards in double deck pitch, which is EXTREMELY difficult (since you don't see the other cards until they flip them with they bust, double or split). I can still count a pretty good bit of a shoe but I'd get my ass handed to me trying to count DD. I have also learned the hard way to keep my mouth shut when I'm hot. When the dealer has a face showing and you know his bottom card is an 8, you have a 14 and you double down and tell the dealer to give you the 6 and BAM you have a 20 it get's the pit bosses attention. I did that over and over, double on a 12 and pull a 9. Playing third I'd stay on a 12, knowing that under his King was a 6 and the next card up was a face. So on and so on. Damn I need to go to the casino and practice.

One of the guys that I wrote this week is a Blackjack dealer at Harrah's in NOLA.

What they said must not have been good b/c usually when someone knows a little Spanish, it's the bad words.

One of the guys ALWAYS refers to me as Chiquita. It's really all I picked up out of the conversation today, I was busy doing actual work (at least at that time) and overheard it. So while still typing away and never looking up I asked them not to talk about me in Spanish. Both of them got really quiet and started laughing and then swearing that they weren't talking about me. So when I pointed out to Latino1 that he always refers to me as Chiquita and I wasn't stupid they both got the red and hushed.

And yeah, I know the bad words in Spanish too. I'm a bi-lingual foul mouth

Mike-was looking at fleur de lis tattoo flashes (ya know, just in case) and thought you might like......this. It's actually wall art, so not real sure why it came up with tattoo flashes, but it's pretty cool!

That is truly awesome, but look... I was only kidding about the tattoo. Don't get one on account of me, the bet isn't that serious.

Oh, lord, I wouldn't get a tatt just for losing a bet. I want more, and was looking at different flashes, and out of curiosity was looking at the fleur de lis. And I found that. If I were to ever GET a fleur de lis tatt, I'd have them draw that up, though, cause it's cool!

I'm actually looking at flashes for angel wings. But all I can find are really really big ones and I don't want something that covers my entire back (besides, something big wouldn't look good with the tramp stamp). I want small wings and somehow tie in the DOD of my grandparents. My Nannie told me after Pop died that he was my guardian angel now, and now that she's gone too, I want the wings. Just can't find what I'm looking for.

Darlene. Truly sorry that you didn't get the job, and I know they spoke honestly when they said they loved your passion for people but if you're like me I want to hear the exact why I didn't get the job. Sometimes it's just that the other guy had better quals or experience and once I was told that I waved my hands around too much when I was explaining things. Next interview I took a clutch bag and held it tightly all through the interview, didn't get that one either though- it was the experience card that time.
Anyway, there's something out there for you and it may be even better than this one,
