Nevada-Las Vegas

ouch that hurts....

So i'm just over 2 months to the wedding....and what happens? Plumbing problems!! $3500!!!! Have to replace pipes that have collapsed - it has been a crappy week (literally crappy lol) with the sewer drain backing up in the basement. 

On a more entertaining note from the weekend - we went to a casino in Niagara Falls, and we sat down at an empty slot machine, and it had a ticket still in it for $100!! we looked around but no one came, so after a few minutes, we left - and we were excited for the found money! Fast forward a few hours, we were coming out of a show and a security guard approached me, asked for me by name and asked me if i had found $100 earlier in the evening!! The girl that left it there I guess reported that she lost it, and they used face recognition software to locate me in the casino! They said they decided to let me watch the show instead of calling me out of it!! I was totally freaked out by it - and that's kharma! If you find money leave it where it is!!! lol

  • That sucks, all the way around.

    And creepy about the face recognition software...

  • Eek!  You are right that totally hurts, what a big chunk :(

    Double Eek @ the security... well, for all they know, you wanted to make your show and then were going to turn it in after! LOL  That girl should have let you keep it for not spending it straight away - HAA HAAA

  • Wow, reminds me of the TV shows called Las Vegas. They would use that kind of software to spot cheaters. Crazy!

    My thoughts are with you so things get better :)

  • Crazy! Hopefully it'll be smooth sailing from here on out!
  • the bright side is, if this had happened in 2 months while we were away our poor housesitter would have been freaking out or even worse, I just started taking the courses for my real estate license, and planned on completing it and registering by the end of the year. If this happened then, we wouldn't have the money up front to pay for it, so real estate is slightly on hold - just wrote the first exam on Saturday. 

    And even brighter, did my first alteration appt with the seamstress today and the crinoline looks AMAZING and she's like, wow, you've lost a lot of weight since you ordered the dress! Yes, ma'am, yes I have :) August 17th is our next appt to see it shortened, with the crinoline attached and the top / sides taken in yay!

  • Most big casinos have the facial recognition stuff so they can catch cheats who have been blacklisted, etc.

    I think they should have eaten the $100 in this case and just paid the other person out if the data and video backed up her story.

    Oh my gosh, I just went to my first casino a couple of weeks ago and would have done the same as you- I mean it doesn't make sense that the casino would even reimburse her for her leaving her money laying around so why couldn't you keep it? Gosh guess that sounds bad but hey if I'm in a casino, I want money! lol
