Playing Slots at Facebook Casinos

joyceshookery @joyceshookery (2057) • United States 18 Jan 13

I've played at several casinos via Facebook. My favorite is Cleo's VIP Lounge (aka Virtual Spree). It's the most realistic, as far as playing goes. I play pennies or nickels. No other online casino lets you bet as you might in a...

Sweet and salty

joyceshookery @joyceshookery (2057) • United States 25 Nov 12

Pringles has a new chip called Pumpkin Pie Spice. I like them. I like sweet/salty. I used to dip my McDonald's fries into McD's sundaes. Don't do that anymore, but these chips remind me of those days. Pringles also has a...

What did we do before computers?

joyceshookery @joyceshookery (2057) • United States 25 Nov 12

Take a walk? Read a good book? Clean up the house? Socialize more (in person)? Nowadays I sit at the computer several hours a day. It seems to be my lifeline and it’s really my great escape. I play games a LOT. I live alone, so...

Bought a flatscreen monitor at a yard sale...

joyceshookery @joyceshookery (2057) • United States 19 Sep 12

Yep...I was using a 15-inch box-type monitor. It worked so even though I wanted a flatscreen, it wasn't important enough to pay $100. I was at a yard sale and they had a 15-inch flatscreen monitor for $20 and I bought it. It...

I love looking at clouds because of the pictures I see in the fluff. Today I saw Mt. Rushmore with two of the heads. I see ducks, birds, Snoopy, rabbits with really long feet…all kinds of things…even tropical islands. Tile...

Ashamed of my Impulsive Spending

joyceshookery @joyceshookery (2057) • United States 11 Jul 10

Who goes first?

joyceshookery @joyceshookery (2057) • United States 3 Jul 10

I wonder if this driving rule is universal. When there’s a 4-way stop, who goes first when you all get there at the same time, or at least more than one? In California, the person on my right goes first, so if I’m driving west,...
