Naples has a wonderful Arts Center here. Many of the older singers and performers have homes here so they grace our stage quite often!
Next time tell them you want the gutter guards put up

The actors that retire/live here seem to be a little off-kilter ... Shirley McClain has a 'compound' somewhere and 'The Professor' from Gilligan's Island lives on one of the San Juan Islands
Shirley is a little more than a little off kilter! IMO! 
When I lived in Murfreesboro, Tn., George Jones lived a couple of miles or so from me..he was a LOT off kilter...most of the time! LOL!

Yes
We have legalized gambling here. Started when the various tribes put in casino's ... almost everything except slots (my favorite).I try to save my gambling for Vegas ... I usually win back whatever I've spent so I feel I'm coming out WAY ahead!
Our Mega-Millions Lotto is $177 million! I'm gonna win, I can feel it!!!
We have Indian casinos here too. They have crappy slots! We also have ships, but I am not crazy about being a captive audience for X amount of hours...however, I did win $4000.00 in a $100 slot last year, first pull...and took it home!...I like Vegas and Biloxi.
Hope you do!

I only play the .25 cent ones
But I found a progressive that was paying out pretty good last time I was in Vegas. I hit the smallest payout, then the next up, then the next and the next ... the only one left was the BIG jackpot, which was a beautiful white convertible ... but I had to go to the airport! Durn!I always put what I win aside if it's more than $25. That's why I usually eat and 'entertain' on their dime. $4000 would be nice! My aunt used to live there ... she hit several $10,000 bingo pots - and this woman has the first dollar she ever earned so I know she wasn't spending much
My husband's sisters live in Vegas. When he was well, we went out several times a year.

Time to have one of the kids watch dad while you escape for a week? Surely you deserve a vacation
Just doesn't work well right now. I had a touring engagement(related to my work) and had to cancel and come home. He won't stay with anyone else. I only go on short jaunts or ones I can take him on now. You really have to know how to handle him or he could become very aggressive.
Anyway, who would be here to watch the store? 
Now, back to gambling...the bigger the slot, the better the odds. The reason is that the casino figures the odds of winning against the profit margin. You are better off to play, for example , the dollar machine for a dollar a pull than the quarter for three a pull, etc. So, I wait and watch and when I think someone has fed a machine long enough, I play, but never under fives. However, not in the Indian casinos!
I usually play 3 of the quarter slots in a row, then pick the one that pays first. I stay with it until I win
The dollar slots scare me even though I put 5 quarters in at a time

I promise you that you will win more in them than the quarter slots. IMO, the quarter, dime, and nickel slots are there to entertain the bus loads of seniors!
I wonder if there is a co-relation between A S people and gamblers?

What can I say ... I was hooked by my mother who searched high and low until she could find a nickel slot!
OHHHHHHHHHHHH..say nada! (kidding!)

I think it's his 'Yankified' southern drawl (he never says 'Y'all' or 'Co-Cola'). Accents are always good for getting attention

We could always 'Auction' her for personal appearances at malls or tv ... that'd probably generate enough cash to keep her swimming in pampers
No, no, Tyler is the one swimming in pamper!
I meant clean ones
