    I've cleared the table before. Never said a word either

    I never discuss actual results with the wife. We speak in code. The code changes as times go on. It's pretty simple now.

    Bonuses are usually directed to her secret stash. Occasionally, she uses the bonus on herself. No bonus paid means I either lost money, or the return was poor, not justifying a bonus. Minimum bonus paid is $500. A kiss or 2, after a good trip, can easily mean an extra $200-$500.

    Last night, I shelled out $500. Though in theory, I should have popped out more, I took into account that the prior trip was a loser, and it is important to, at least restore equity.

    Note -Secret Stash
    That side stash of money, of which I am apparently unaware, which goes to diapers, kids pampers and clothes, and little presents for the kids, daughters in law, and of course the grandchildren. Since I would not necessarily aporive if all this - what I don't know can't hurt me.

    If you're going to make comments like that, the least you can do is attach a link. Must I do everything

    Freightman, after all these years, you are still being subjected to mob payoffs? Could this be a possible bestseller titled Playing Blackjack to pay for my freedom, or,There really is a house edge.No disrespect intended, although, this explains a lot, we now know who wears the pants in the house.

    Just like Don Fanucci from the classic Godfather 2. She needs to wet her beak, a taste. Further, my plans are firm for this weekend, and I'll let you know what they are, once she tells me.

    All I can tell you on that point - her stuff overflows into the closet of a spare bedroom.

    Its like her secret stash. Even if I vocally objected - do you really think she's going to stop

    You must be under tremendous pressure not to have a prolonged losing streak. Otherwise, without notice, you could end up temporarily sleeping alone in that spare bedroom, with only half a closet.

    Freightman, no wonder you learned a level three count, not everyone has to deal with a real house "hold". Perhaps a new meaning for Webster's New World Dictionary.

    I had one a few years back, which was ugly. Other than illness, the first time we slept apart was at the Excelsior hotel at London Heathrow. Air Canada firgot about us, and put us up in this fleabag hotel. Think that was 1977, or 1978.
