Hello - another new poster here

[CPT]

For @CPT and other young ones Barbara Ann was a song from long ago recorded by The Beach Boys, Who and others.

I know of it, but for the longest time I didn't know what they were saying. Barbarbaba who what? HHH Welcome to the forum!

Yup, I grew up in the same town as the Beach Boys, although they were a few years ahead of me.

Thanks Wynnvegas (Billy), The guy looked so deflated but did congratulate me. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading about your journey to move to the U.S. I wish you both great luck.

I know this may sound creepy, but whenever I go to my locals I do look to see if I recognize anyone from this forum. Everyone seems so nice that if i did see someone I would probably approach them, or maybe walk by and say rather loudly Jokers Wild to see if I get a reaction.

I met Serenasea that way.!

Hi everyone, I'm Annie from SoCal and had to join in so I can continue to read the best forum ever. You guys have so much fun I love reading every morning with my coffee.

I chose my screen name because I'm old fashioned and still love to play the old fashioned reel slots, Double Diamond being my favorite (maybe because 8 of my 10 handpays have been on Double Diamond machines). The other 2 was the one and only time playing a 10X dollar, and a long awaited Quick Hits (hit 8 quick hits) on a max bet $3.00 for just over $5,700.

Hi barbarbar welcome to the forum .sounds like some nice wins . where are you scoring these at

Welcome Annie, so glad you introduced yourself. I thought my husband was the only person on the planet with a phone as old as the dinosaurs! Feel free to comment whenever the urge strikes you. We love meeting new people!

TAB, the other thing I do is look for people taking pics or video's. Oddly I don't recall ever seeing that but offhand I'm not sure what our local NA policies are.

Funny story though about approaching someone. Several years ago I was at Pala Casino in SoCal and thought I saw an ex boyfriend sit down at a machine nearby. His looks, mannerisms, everything was exact. So I finished playing, went up behind him, put my arm over his shoulders and asked him if he was having any luck. He turned towards me and I realized it wasn't him. Then I saw a lady come barrelling towards me with a mean look - oh crap I think it was his wife. I must of turned 10 shades of red, apologized and said i thought he was someone else. The guy laughed - the woman not so much. So I think yelling "Jokers Wild" is the better option.

Thanks BBB,

Glad we're at the back end of it now. Not that we would have balked at the process had we known what we know now but it's been a bit of a roller coaster. Thankfully nothing too bad along the road.

It's that much easier joining in the forums and, in particular, making a trip report a few days before you go. That way, if people know where and when you're going, it's easy to arrange to meet up for a bit of a chat, a wee bit of co-op slot bashing or a meal. I'd bet that there isn't a week in Vegas where at least one of us isn't in town!

Cheers,

Billy

Hi Charlie, my 10 handpays took 20 years to get. Half at Soboba (east of Los Angeles towards Palm Springs - which never gets mentioned on forums I've read) and the others at Pala Casino, south of Los Angeles towards San Diego). Pala is my go to casino because I get free rooms there, but the last 3 years its been pretty bad. My last handpay was 2011 at Pala.

Thanks for the welcome. I get laughed at constantly when I whip out my flip phone, but for now until I get a job, I mainly just have it for emergencies. I love your avatar - I golf weekly with my sis and bil at a local par 3 course and hit the clubhouse afterwards.

You may be able to get pictures out of a flip phone with a cord into a USB port on a computer...I think I could when I had one.....Welcome by the way.
