Been to Vegas twice (that's enough for me, BTW).
My sports bets generally go up in smoke, so I place few of them.
When my mom died in 2013, I took an unpaid leave from work to be there with her and dad as she was in decline from terminal cancer. She passed on Dec. 11 and I thought, I can't leave dad alone this Christmas, so I stayed with him until after the holidays. Let me tell ya, he left the TV on TWC or some news highlights channel that repeated every 15 minutes. The repetition was driving me batty! I tried engaging him in other things to prevent hearing the same news/weather over and over and over again. Never seemed to bother him though.
