HI All I am back from San Diego & wow what a trip it was!! On my way to San Diego I forgot about the hour time change and arrived at the airport in Las Vegas 3 hrs. early. Well the only thing to do when you have 3 hrs to wait is play slot machines. So, I put a $20 bill in this nickle machine & was going to cash out at $200 dollars ( I was happy with that win) & hit the wrong button on the machine. Hit the max bet button instead and hit a jackpot for $2700 Dollars. Big Surprise & by accident no less. I said Thank You God & had a wonderful stay with my Mother. I was able to pay for dinners, give her some money, paid off bills yesterday & getting my Van fixed that has had a broken window for over a year. Yippee!! I so needed this money, you cannot even beleive how much.!! It also turns out that I WILL be moving back to San Diego to help out my Mom. She is not as healthy as I thought (not bad) just needs to stop working ( she is 84) and won't if she does not get some help with her finances. She is all I have & feel that it is time to give back just some of what she has done for me over the years. Arizona has not been the best place for me & just maybe San Diego, which is home for me is where I need to be to get my life back to a happy life. It sure isn't here in Arizona. I will still be here on this board. The computer goes with me as I paid it off yesterday & IT"S MINE!!!!! MERRY CHRSITMAS EVERYONE!!! Love You Marilyn, the Bearlady

Thanks Pam & Connie I think God has been trying to get me to get this into my plans for awhile, I was just to wrapped up in garbage to realize it, until now. The only drawback is the Califonia & big city traffic, but, I will get use to it, just like everything else. Thanks for the wishes!! It will help Mom, as long as Me. I guess we never get over needing our Mom's!!It's my turn to give back some of what she has given me!!Amen Marilyn, the Bearlady

Wow! What a blessing! I'm so happy for you! It sounds like the money freed you to do some level-headed thinking too. I wish you the best in starting your life in CA! I'm glad you are taking us with you! Joy
