Baby, it’s cold outside!

All right who was messing with Mother Nature and pissed her off so badly. Boy is it cold outside! Minus 31°F. And I have pictures of the thermometer to prove it. Now that is just plain old nasty!

Can you believe that people go out in weather like this? I tell you ~ if I didn’t have to go to work I would not be out. I just can not imagine wanting to go sit in a bar and play bingo when it is this cold.

We did the “throw hot water in the air” thing tonight. I have heard about this before but I have never witnessed it. The water freezes instantly, makes a burst of steam. The bartender threw the water up in the air near a snow pile. When I did it I threw the water toward the dumpster. I could here the ice crystals hitting the dumpster. It’s crazy!

We made the coldest in the nation today. The good thing is that there is very little wind. I could not imagine a wind chill factor.

For bingo tonight I paid 43 winning cards for the same game. All 75 numbers were called before anyone had a blackout bingo. This also happened last Wednesday night on the same colored card, the same game. I am so glad that this is the only game that we play using cards from that company. There has got to be something wrong. I have been running bingo for almost eight years and tonight was the first time that I have ever seen this happen. When I used to play bingo I have never seen it happen that everyone bingos at the same time. The consolation prize for all our games is $25 so everyone got paid $1 for each card that they had.

Two games later one guy asked me if I paid him.

Yes, I paid you.

Then where is my money?

I don’t know. I am not sure what you did with it.

I didn’t get it. You didn’t pay me.

I did pay you. You are first on the list. I remember paying you because the bills that I gave you were really crumpled and I thought that I should have given you straighter bills but having to pay everyone that is playing I did not take the time to exchange them for nicer bills. That is how I know that I paid you. Had it not been for the crumpled bills I would have had to think twice about if I had paid you or not.

All the while his wife is telling him that he got paid and telling me you paid him, everything is okay.

Then he says to her what do you know that I don’t know.

I finally walked away because I have dealt with him before on similar situations and he gets so worked up and ends up making a huge scene.

The bartender heard him call me a liar. That pisses me off!

The Dirty Girl told me that his wife gave her the crumpled bills for bingo cards.

So all the while he is pissed at me all she would have had to do is say “I used that money to buy our bingo cards for the next two games.”

Controversy settled!

The irony of this situation: Three weeks ago she asked me to make a batch of peanut brittle for him for his birthday.

Not a problem! I will do that for you.

Yesterday (Wednesday) I made the peanut brittle. Today (Thursday) I brought the peanut brittle to work with me and gave it to her to give to him for his birthday tomorrow (Friday.)

That is the last favor that I do for either one of them! See how I get treated for being nice to people! She is at fault more than he is! If he had known that she took the money this never would have been an issue in the first place. I know it is not the $2 it is the principle!

The next time you hear the song “I Love This Bar” think about me! It is so fitting.

Tonight I change the “we’ve got suckers” using an F!

It may not be tomorrow but they will be back and he will apologize. I am not accepting his apology until I let him have it. I may let her have it to! I could probably say some things that would make them never come back! Like how he has offered a barmaid $500 to have sex with him because she (his wife) can’t have sex anymore. (Like that old goat could get a hard-on anyway!)

I am just so pissed! He calls me a liar and she lets him think that!

These were taken tonight (this morning) when I got home from work.

I did not even take the glare off the pictures. These are unedited ~ other than I cut the junk around it off.
