Get ready for a ten or 15 minute commercial while they beg for money.
Pretty good bargain in my book.
OK good for you. For me there seems to be something very odd about public tv , government funded that is supposed to be commercial free when right in the F****** middle of the program there is long boring a beg-a-thon.

I've never read the contract that said it was supposed to be commercial free. Of course they beg. Seems the same as a car ad to me. Sure they are annoying and irritating. I'm with you. I just don't see the problem.

No there's no contract but PBS has bragged about their commercial free TV for as long as I can remember. Now they are going to ad REAL genuine commercials because they say no one watches what they air between shows.
Sure I could watch antique road show with very few breaks of any kind. But as soon as they have something GOOD on , like a concert then right when you really get in to it here comes the boring ass local Beggars blabbing for at least ten minutes on how great PBS is WHAT??? It's the ONLY program on all of television that has these LONNNNNG beg a thons right in the middle of the show.
PBS can kiss my ASS
and you said.... " I'm with you. I just don't see the problem." Who the hell are you talking too?

First time I've ever been to a Casino EVER was in Mills Creek, 3 years ago. So, curiosity piqued, I stopped at Seven feathers on the way home. I think I liked Mills Creek better. Never had an urge to go back to either. But, if I ever did, I guess I'd go if the opportunity came up...(I won the Mills Creek trip, the only reason I went. It would probably have to be something of similar nature to go again) Does it still smell like cigarette smoke?

But they now have a smoke free game area and bar.

Whatever that drink is It looks good. The last time I went to any Casino was in Sparks Nevada. It was with my union buddies and our wives. WE took a bus and drank all the way there and all the way back.
Sunday morning at about 11:00 am I put three nickels in a progressive slot machine and won $4438.40 cents.
They rounded it up and gave me 44 one hundred dollar bills. I've never been to a casino since

Wow! That would be awesome!Yesterday we didn't have any luck with the gambling.
The show was pretty good... Well, it was 3 women singing a mixture of Christmas/Holiday tunes with some other stuff mixed in. The blonde was the one that carried the show. She had some pipes! She was really awesome!
We had the buffet dinner. It was just "okay". I would have rather paid up and had the buffet at Spirit Mountain. They're buffet is the best!
Today is a new day! We'll see what it brings!

Amazingly, the very Superman episode(s) Clete and I discussed the other day, Little Men from the center
of the earth, is on as we speak. Later, haters.

I hate it when the pin falls out of my eyeglasses, disconnecting the stem. I'm too blind to repair it without the eye glasses, but I can't wear the glasses and fix them either! I'm just kind of balancing them on my nose right now.
