People need to quit analyzing my posts and seeing things that they think are there. That gets people into trouble and adds to my slap list.

You have no one on your kiss list? Can I please be on your kiss list? Pretty please?

But just remember, I've very selective about the location I'm kissed! I don't know how tall you are, but you may have to squat down a bit!

I think it is always worth a try. What's to lose?

Slap a ham on Obama, pals.

Slap-dab set-up, Mistress Ann asserts, imputes bad pals.

Will you slap me forwards and backwards, when the need arises?

No worries, I could use one.

Yes, I'm helping out as well as I can. They also think of me as family. My sister and bil wouldn't care if I lived on the street. Here I eat real food, there I just had cup ramen, cheap hot dogs, and cheap bologna sandwiches. Here, people talk to me. There, I got yelled at almost daily. I like it here.

Give him some time to find work...it's not that easy. You'll do it aqualung! Don't you start away uneasy, you poor old salt, you see, it's only me.
Both sister and bil wanted to throw me out onto the street.

No, it isn't salt...

I'm not hating on the guy, I have known him for awhile online. But in here, I finally got to know the real Aqua.
You got to know "me" during the very rough times. I've lost almost everything.

I worry about it all the time. Airics just posted that there are two pages of job openings at the Cosmo, but the competition is so fierce it is not even worth trying unless you have lots of Casino experience (with excellent references), perfect credit, no criminal record, etc. I remember moving in here in December of 2004. I tried applying to tons of casinos hoping for any job. I had zero luck, not even one interview, and that was when the economy was good. Of course, I became flat broke and had to return to Phoenix in March of 2005 as I could not make it in Vegas.
Thanks, my friend. I tried for Cosmo, and didn't qualify. Same with the other Strip hotels applied for, as well as the Palace properties.

I've been losing weight, I'm down to 325lbs.

Here's a comic that a brother of mine up in Canada did for me prior to my surgery...



And no, I don't drink Budweiser.

Hey aqua, when you get a chance check craigslist for russian interpreter jobs. I saw 2 recently and thought of you immediately. 1 under the government heading and 1 under general labor.

I am glad that you are finally starting to feel human again! We all need that. I feel sorry for people, kids and animals who are constantly belittled and yelled at. Doesn't help at all.

That said, I think that what people are trying to tell you is not to wear out your welcome in a place you are comfy and happy at. Don't get too comfortable without realizing that regardless how nice, welcoming, caring and loving people are, there are limits. A responsible adult needs to recognize this on their own and not wait to be told. Even great friendships and families have been torn apart by living together. No one wants to be a parent to a capable adult.

Enough preaching! I am truly happy that you are feeling better, mentally and physically!!! Good things! Figure out what you want and GO GET IT!!! It might not even be located in Las Vegas and that is OK!!! Good luck and it is good to have you back posting!!!

Please, let's not pass up these opportunities now to stimulate the Las Vegas enconomy!

The fleeing Tunisian President and his crooked family, were denied refuge in France, and many other places in the world, and had to settle for exile in Saudi Arabia.

Was Oscar Goodman sleeping through all of this? Why didn't he invite them to live in exile in Las Vegas, meet them at the Airport with real estate agents and some showgirls? What happens in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas!

And now Mubarek and his cronies! Come on, Oscar! Wake up and smell the money!

What a kick in the butt, that would be: they end up in Reno!

Sure, I will let jfk know you are on the kiss list. I pay him $5 an hour and he does all the kissing. As much as you want! and extra too.

That's interesting that it reads the same forwards and backwards. I will also be happy to slap you around if you like. For you, with a feather.
For the rest, a wet noodle.
