So last night I was enjoying dinner with my wife. We cleaned up after supper and sat down to watch the snowboarding event at the Olympics when I flet a little tickle in my head. I went upstairs to blow my nose. Went into the bathroom, grabbed a tissue and blew. Within a second I realised that I was holding a handful of blood. I pinched like you are supposed to, and it would not stop. Almost 2 hours later, I decided to go to the hospital. They pushed a 7inch balloon in my nose to stop the bleeding. I went home at 2am. It is noon now and I still have this thing in my nose. I think this is serious.

We recently discovered what it is like to have an ill child. It sucks. So $80 later and the little shit is on to getting better. He has conjunctivitis, and sinusitis. He must have gotten it from another dog at some point. Poor little fella. He seems to be doing better after we began antibiotics. His little immune system was to delicate for him to get well on his own.

Free drinks

I just got back from Las Vegas and I have to say that I am pretty much convinced that gambling is not my thing. I did learn that if you go to any casino and sit in the Race and Book room (of course I was forced to watch someone bet horses all day:() you can get all the free drinks you could ever imagine. Here is how you do it. First, enter the room and head directly to the station where they keep the racing forms. Grab one and pick a race that you are planning to bet on. Find a used ticket that is a losing race and place it on the table where you are going to sit. Open the race book and pretend that you are going to bet on horses. Within 5 minutes a cocktail waitress will stop by and take your order. When she returns, take note, this is very important. Stand up at that moment and yell at any race that is currently being simulcast with a loud “Come ON ___(insert your favorite color)__!!” Notice the waitress and take your beverage. I then hand a nice tip because I used to bartend and serve and they do not make good money unless tipped well. Now here is the best part. In that same room, they play almost every live sporting event on huge TVs. Amazing, free beers, and free hockey. I sat in there for 2 hours watching Vancouver play Phoenix and drank for free! Was a perfect ending for losing $45 in slot machines the day before. I almost got my money back. Ahem.
