The wife and I were vacationing in Lake Tahoe in the early 80s, and we decided to check out the nearby casinos and my wife had $10 to gamble and in short order she lost it all. On our way out we stopped at a convenience stand and my wife was lamenting about the loss of $10 and the wisened old lady behind the counter stated authoritatively that's nothing people at times leave here having lost their life's savings, homes, cars and businesses......................so consider yourself lucky.
