Good morning, Munc,
I tend to compartmentalize money, 'mentalize' is the operative part of that word. In my head, I know what money can come out of whatever "compartment," so to speak. And one of those compartments is the "Whatthehellwhogivesa****" compartment.
Cincinnati does not have casinos but Cincinnati is next door to Indiana and there are casinos there. There is a casino fairly close to Cincy. That Indiana casino, officially located in a small town, Lawrenceburg, Indiana, is on a boat in the Ohio River, the river which I have always heard actually belongs to Kentucky. (Geez. What can I say? We Cincinnatians are a multi-faceted people -- or maybe we are just into transporting ourselves across state lines for certain purposes.......but I digress......and I could digress some more.)
Anyway, Munc, casinos just don't call to me. But that's just me. I have been there a couple of times, for dinner, with a group, and a little touch of the casino itself. But I limit myself to twenty bucks, the slots, that's it. (I have heard that there are those who sit at the slots wearing adult diapers so that they do not have to leave those machines. Oh well. I am not judging them. To each his own. I am just glad they have the foresight to wear diapers. Geez. Munc, I am digressing once again. Imagine that.)
So back to the $2500 risk you are willing to take. I have a playmoney compartment. And I think that later I may just have to read those articles about this fund........or should I just "go to the boat" -- as we say here in Cincinnati. Some say, "Hey, let's go throw some money in that river," when they invite you to go with them to the boat.
Munc, I gotta tellya. I like your idea a lot better than the boat. With the money in a brand new fund, the "hope that springs eternal" would sure last a lot longer than the spin of a wheel or a go-round with a one-armed bandit. In my mind, your way is better, Munc. (Gee. I guess they won't let me in for twenty bucks though. But everything is relative. And a percentage is a percentage.........I hearya, Munc.)
