Yup especially on parlays, just feels pointless watching the rest then lol & ruins the vibe.

Tbf roulette is the better one to go with for $ when you don’t fully know blackjack yet & all the statistically correct choices to make. Blackjack goes from a slight casino advantage to a MAJOR casino advantage for someone new at the game. Prob why you were struggling extra hard to win in the beginning. Technically you can still get lucky but you put yourself at an even bigger disadvantage when making the wrong choices

You gotta buy the cookies in a big container which I think cost like $16+ maybe even $20 for a ~30 pack which is just absolutely INSANELY pricey You can usually buy a very similar pack for like $6-8 elsewhere but tbf the cookie quality is just incomparable

How was yer birthday then?? Sore head today?

Still home > office, like this would be worse if I was also heading to the office every day & needing to work extra + travel time. Got 10+ hours in already today and was preeetty good about getting the work done / not doing much slacking which helped my progress

Well moreso $50-100 between my immediate family like sister, dad, grandma... other more distant relatives will also normally give me gifts as well tho like $20-40ish and I only give gifts for their kids (split with my sister but still I have so many little cousins now in their childhood to teenage years that the amts of $ spent every year raaaacks up gah Tbh that's the way to do it @ just send cards to each other and avoid the $ spent but yeah I'm fairly close with a bunch of my family and have all kind of visits every year / live with some of them.

You seem just the right amt of drunk lol Your birthday officially being over now, I feel like it flew by </3 hope it was all good tho

Yeah overtime! I'm not too worried about it but I guess it's possible. I'm not awful with it either like most of the time if they're looking they'd see me doing the work to some extent or see that something on the screen at least changed since they last looked as I don't just leave it alone for tooo long It was also more that this stuff is needed for the accountant asap rather than any kind of direct focus that I was behind or any focus on me specifically in the call (also a lot of general discussion about what we're all doing / what we need in order to keep going smoothly / etc. etc.). I think it pretty much was the entire meeting that was switched to over the phone but idk for sure. I know we'll need a follow up very soon and that's what I'm stressed about to get this work done now

Yeah Wegmans might be a US thing (and I think it's even one of the less common supermarkets BUT it's expensive af. Only reason I know about it and have shopped there is because my boss told me about it and there's one pretty close to where I work. When I tried those cookies tho I was AMAZED And yeah still Subway's are SOLID so I shouldn't be shocked at those cookies being a #1 choice for someone

Finna is cringey tbh but I used to love using it for a while (kinda like ironically got into a habit of starting to use it mostly in text) ahhhh not thinking it was a typo

Yeah I get what you mean. For me I don't get too mad about sports betting being "unlucky" because I just see it as like making the wrong choice UNLESS a team I bet on got screwed over by bad officiating or some miracle score/point at the end that made them lose Otherwise mostly ok with it so that's why sports betting is kinda the most chill type of gambling for me & plus I enjoy watching these sports too. But it does still piss me off when I'm losing a bet that I'm watching live on TV

You'll get the hang of it Blackjack is one of the easiest casino games to learn and esp compared to poker - and once you master blackjack there's STILL so much luck involved anyway ugh lol. Tbh you weren't even thaaat bad with the decisions when you FIRST started learning about blackjack, like I was pretty shocked you did seem to know a lot of the straight forward decisions that quickly

Happy birthday!! Hope you’re having a fun day

Gahhh I'm gonna start working OT from home to get a bunch of stuff done. It's kinda all behind (bit awkward but idk if they know/think I've been slacking, it didn't seem that way tho & like what I'm doing is kinda designed / set up where it's a bit behind throughout the year regardless but I'm usually behind at work while also having a lot of other stuff to do but now this is the main work I'm focusing on at home & it's still behind lol ). Anyway, I had a big conference call about everything with two of my co-workers & my boss for like a good 30 mins just a bit ago. I think I won't even have to go to the office for the meetup now tho, at least for a little while, which is the good part. Also OT from home shouldn't be bad tho and getting that $$$$$$ but imma have to lay off / really limit the slacking for sure

Damn straight we do! But I really can’t think of anything rn but there’s def a lot. Oh actually one is “finna” instead of gonna basically & I have no clue how that started but funny to use I’m finna try to remember using it more

Ahh that was expected tbf @ the scratch-off </3 Your mom is ACTUALLY the sweetest like damn that’s SO good! I get like $50-100 from any individual person - but I live with a pretty big family so it can add up although I get plenty of gifts instead of $ as well. The thing is I spend so much more $ on all my little cousins’ / rest of my family’s birthdays combined than I ever receive for sure so birthdays just aren’t fair here & a big - over time lmaooo

Lmaooo yup when winning you don’t even second guess your decisions & it usually starts feeling so easy (this is even more true / important with poker because every decision matters & when you’re confident in the decisions & on your A game with it, you don’t even need much luck just to avoid making the wrong decision or avoid getting really unlucky in spots you’re meant to normally win

Lol but tbf anyone new at the game(s) would def be slow trying to understand it all & make the right choices

NOT Subway being the BEST tho!! I mean they’re solid so tbf not the worst choice for #1?but there are so many AMAZING cookies out there (can’t remember specific names off the top of my head tho but there’s these amazing chocolate chip ones even at this “Wegmans” super market. Their other kinds are prob great too. It’s like bakery fresh (they actually have a bakery within the supermarket but this place is expensive af in general tho so that’s what sucks about it)
