Our Recent trip to Halifax
So yup we went on our weekend away this past weekend we left early Friday morning sadly I didn't take a pic at our usual gas stop reason being I was asleep lol I was up late Thursday night so I was napping on the drive up. So we got there around 10-10:30am I think so we went and had a lil bit to eat being we didn't have breakfast before leaving home after that we went and did a lil bit of looking around before checking into the hotel we didn't stay at the usual spot but somewhere new and different it was owned by the same company tho. It looked a bit shabby on the outside like the building needs some work but when we went in and up the the room the room was really nice! I would have to say I was impressed by it. We stayed in for a lil bit before heading back out and went and visited some friends and spent the evening over with them which ended a really nice Friday
So Saturday we went and did alot of looking around and some shopping and visited all the usual places apparently they are opening a Hot Topic in the Halifax Shopping center later on this month which will be cool We'll have to go in the next time we're there we also go in to the one when we go to Moncton also of course we went to Toys R Us but I made that a separate post and we went to GameStops and pretty much everywhere we did do some pick-ups but not to much being it was still somewhat after Easter some places still seemed a bit picked over. but we did have a great and fun Saturday morning/afternoon. As for supper we of course decided to try to go to the Casino to have the all you can eat buffet I was a bit apprehensive (I think would be a good word) about them being total dicks to me and throwing me out or attempt to throw me out for no real reason and I just didn't want the hassle! but we went to try it, we got dressed up kinda nice and found a great parking space and we went in I stuck extremely close to the person I was with I didn't want them to be out of my sight and vice versa so we go up to a security podium there. and showed our Membership card and… The security guard just waved us through!!
I was like shocked and kinda relieved to the point that once we got past the entrance way and actually on to the Casino floor I was like "We made it, past the the front desk with out any problems!!" and with that we went to the dinning area and got into the Buffet area now we did have an amazing meal I loved it so much and was totally stuffed afterwards but while there I did have an interesting exchange with one of the buffet workers which getting my food one of the workers noticed my green Tomb Raider necklace and he asks me if I was a fan of Tomb Raider? and I was like Yes! and then he asks if I was a fan of the movies or the games? and I of course say Both! Then he asks me a strange question "Have you played the other Tom Clancy Games?" and I give him a strange look and say "No..?" and he has a shocked look on his face and I say "Tomb Raider is not a Tom Clancy Game" and he reassures me that it is and I say "No, no its not" and walk away back to our table. so this kinda bugged me a bit the rest of the night and all the way home so when I got home I wanted to see what the hell he was talking about so I googled "tom clancy tomb raider" as I said Tomb Raider isn't a Tom Clancy IP it was a lil Mission thing in the Ghost Recon Breakpoint games its basically an Easter egg treasure hunt themed after the Tomb Raider franchise in celebration of the franchise's 25th anniversary. So it was a promotional thing no different then what they did in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, Brawlhalla, Fortnite,ect.
So as we do when ever we leave Halifax we got to Costco. We bring our insulated bags with us cause we'll pick up some frozen foods and all kinds of stuff for the house. So we do our shopping and we get to the check out and the woman asks for the Membership card so I give it to her and she looks at the picture on the back and looks at me and says "this is not you" and I look at her kinda strangely I'm like "yeah I know, its them" (the person I'm with,the person behind me) and she tells me "I'm sorry you can't hand me someone else's Membership card" which I think is totally stupid the owner of the card is right there we're obviously there together so I'm like "are you you serious?" and she is like "Yes, So what would you like me to do?" and I'm like "I would like you to ring this stuff in, so we can pay for it and go" and she says "I'm sorry I can't do that its against store policy" and hands me the card back. So the person I'm with and I look at each other kinda dumbfounded being that this has never happened before and I hand them the card and then they hand it back to the woman at the register and she scans it then hands it back to them which in turn they hand it back to me and I put it back in my wallet and while I'm doing that she is ringing in the stuff!! I feel that this was one of the most asinine things ever. When it came time to pay I was surprised she didn't kick up a fuss about store policy when I pulled a debit card out of my wallet to pay for the stuff. I feel like this was just to waist time because like I said this never happened any other time we were in there.
but all in all we had a good time! it was nice to get away for the weekend and there is no doubt we'll be back to Halifax again probably during vacation time this summer if not before.

WGS 카지노검증업체 played at Intertops Classic Casino
The standard deviation for pai gow poker is the lowest out of all common casino games. Card names, colors, emblems, and designs change according to their provenance and the whims of card players themselves. Playing Caribbean Stud with a real dealer offers several benefits. When you play Caribbean Stud Poker with a live dealer in the mix, you do so from the comfort and privacy of your own home. The downside to traditional online Caribbean Stud Poker is the use of random number generators and video simulations, but for players who prefer real people dealing a real hand of cards, that impediment is no longer necessary. Pachinko balls are forbidden to be removed from a parlor to be used elsewhere.
There is also a side story about the history of the analysis of the game. Through the years, players and casinos have asked for an analysis of the game. http://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=카지노검증업체 Playing-card manufacturers produced decks meant for other uses beyond simple card playing, including instruction, propaganda, and advertising. The place bets and buy bets differ from the pass line and come line, in that place bets and buy bets can be removed at any time, since, while they are multi-roll bets, their odds of winning do not change from roll to roll, whereas pass line bets and come line bets are a combination of different odds on their first roll and subsequent rolls. Members are issued credit-card-sized plastic cards, usually with an encoded magnetic strip on the back.
It often seems as if authors of such articles and books do not even understand the sources they are copying. 1885: The first Bicycle® Brand cards are produced by Russell, Morgan, & Co. In 2012, Nova Scotia began to mandate that users enroll in an account card system known as My-Play in order to use VLTs. 8 Suits Playing Cards,conceived in the late 1970s and manufactured through BrienmarK Products Inc., adds red Moons, black Stars, red four-leaf Clovers and black Tears.
Some additional points about Caribbean stud poker to keep in mind are as follows:In order for the game to proceed, the dealer’s hand must be Ace-King or better. This is known as “opening” the dealer’s hand. Among Italian regional patterns, significant similarities with the Belgian and French styles, can also be found in the traditional cards used in Piedmont region (picture below), actually located just north of Genoa. In this case, though, some further differences widen the gap discussed above: not only indices are missing, but courts are doubled horizontally (not diagonally), and decorative girdles appear around three aces, or all four of them, according to the edition. The exact percentage of casino patrons who have a gambling “problem” is not known.The maximum bet is based on the maximum allowed win from a single roll. The lowest single-roll bet can be a minimum one unit bet.
In a traditional French-suited deck of cards, there are four suits. There are the spades, the hearts, the diamonds, and the clubs. This betting system relies on the gambler's fallacy—that the player is more likely to lose following a win, and more likely to win following a loss. The percentages of blue-collar workers are higher at newer gambling areas.Casino games redirects here. For the video game, see Casino Games.
Tumblr media
Winning tactics in Blackjack require that the player play each hand in the optimum way, and such strategy always takes into account what the dealer's upcard is. If a player's first two cards are an ace and a "ten-card" (a picture card or 10), giving a count of 21 in two cards, this is a natural or "blackjack." When craps is played in a casino, all bets have a house advantage.An Arboretum and rose garden (Michaut Park - 7 hectares) behind the Hotel de Ville.
Like the Don't Pass each player may only make one Don't Come bet per roll, this does not exclude a player from laying odds on an already established Don't Come points. Players may bet both the Don't Come and Come on the same roll if desired. This reduces the maximum payout percentage to 95.00% for players betting five coins per hand to receive the Royal Flush bonus. Five is frequently called "no field five" in casinos in which five is not one of the field rolls and thus not paid in the field bets. Other names for a five are "fever" and "little Phoebe". 카지노검증업체 From when to take your turn in any given game to what to wear to what’s acceptable and what’s not, casino etiquette is an art in itself, and there’s a casino subculture with its own set of rules.
At odds of 1 to 1, 2 to 1 and 3 to 1 respectively for each of these types of outcome, the expected loss as a percentage of the stake wagered is: After all players make their wagers, 20 numbers (some variants draw fewer numbers) are drawn at random, either with a ball machine similar to ones used for lotteries and bingo, or with a random number generator. Games of partial skill like blackjack and poker.In this case, the player would request the bet be working in which the dealer will place an "On" button on the specified chips.

Our Moncton Trip
Finally we get a chance to post about the Moncton trip! I couldn't do it soon being I had to pretty much work all week to make up for the time I took off to go out there. Our drive and everything was great it is a bit of a drive to go out there we arrived in the afternoon just in time for check it. Also when we got there I found $10 in the parking lot so who says Friday the 13th is unlucky also we weren't staying at the usual place being we weren't paying for the room it was being paid for by the company the person I live with works for it was a nice spot a lil out of the way but still nice the only strange thing I thought was the sink in the bathroom didn't do cold water it only did scalding hot water I actually had to run the tub to get a drink of cold water which was kinda strange but other then that we had a nice stay. Friday night We went to Casino New Brunswick to enjoy the Buffet for supper which was amazing! seriously it was so good and the one thing I love about Casino New Brunswick is they don't hassle me like Casino Nova Scotia does when I went in there in. When we went for supper Friday night at the Casino the person I went with and I got kinda dressed up I had a nice dress on and we went into the Casino the New Brunswick security doesn't give me a second look and we went down to the back to the restaurant and they were so polite when they scanned our membership cards and got us seated its a completely different experience to Casino NS but all in all it was a great lil trip.

What is the most delicious thing you've had to eat in recent memory?
So there's this little restaurant in Windsor, Ontario, right? It's a hole-in-the-wall kinda place that's been there for decades solely because it's one of the few places Italian people trust to taste about as good as what they themselves cook. My mom and I were only in the area by happenstance. My sister was going to a concert in Detroit, and rather than drive all the way home only to come back a few hours later, we decided to take the tunnel across the border and grab something to eat.
As we drive there she's pointing out all the places she used to go, telling me the stories that that make up who she was in her teens and twenties and I'm just soaking it in, y'know? I love these kinds of conversations. They sit heavy in your gut like guilt and ache your bones like the cold sea breeze. It's like the memory of your grandma's cookies--full of warmth but so overshadowed by loss it's almost not worth thinking about--because it was great while it lasted but now it's gone.
Because, see, the area my mom grew up in isn't what it used to be. When the casino came in it brought all kinds of crime with it. The nice shops downtown are mostly gone; either they died during covid or the owners couldn't pay the rent when the casino's presence jacked up rent prices. But this one little restaurant is still around.
And look, this isn't just any restaurant. My parents got engaged here, we ate here after visiting my grandparents as a kid, it's who catered my grandfather's funeral (my grandfather, a poor kid from Nova Scotia who only learned to appreciate his Italian heritage when he was in his 60s and 70s, who loved his family but wasn't always good at showing it). This place is important to us.
So we get there and we settle down to eat. The waiter puts on that fake charm that Italian people use when they think you aren't Italian to get you to buy more in the name of hospitality. No judgement, I've done it myself.
(And I have another identity crisis. Because I'm not in the club again. Because other Italian people never see that I'm Italian. Because as the generations go on, we get less Italian and become more American and Canadian and because we don't know the language anymore--because that was the language the adults used to talk in secret, because they wanted to "fit in" with the Americans, because there was a time where just having a vowel at the end of your last name was enough of a reason to not give you a job and now I have a made up anglicized last name and no traditions and nothing cultural that isn't food).
And we talk more about all the things that are different. How the area that was Little Italy around here is becoming more and more other things, and how that's not BAD and how it's just a sign of changing immigration patterns but how the places and spaces that were familiar and comfortable are still GONE and there's still a loss there.
So when the bread comes and it's warm and there's these bits of roasted garlic on top that I spread all over mine it's miraculous and precious but I still feel like I'm choking a little while I eat it.
And look, I ordered the veal scallopini with fresh pasta and mushrooms, okay? I never order veal. I like meat but veal has always been one of those things that made me a little squeamish. But...it's different here. It's not a regular restaurant. It smells like my great-aunt's old house, which means it smells like visits and Christmas and being so little and uncomplicated and warm and loved still. And it's like this: for a moment, I can pretend I'm still that way. Unblemished and precious. No one is gone, nothing is gone, I'm not defining life by loss. So I order the veal. And it's delicious.
I mean, we're talking melt-in-your-mouth think about it for weeks delicious. Something's been sauted in butter, someone made this pasta by hand, someone cussed someone out to get the best, freshest mushrooms and all of it has contributed to this dish that is so delicious but so foreign all the same.
Because for me veal is a memory. We ate it more when I was a kid before it got too expensive and my grandmother switched to cooking with more chicken because it's better for you, anyway.
(She was a force of nature before the dementia. When a priest told her how bad the superstition of the evil eye was she stood up to all the men in the family and had them hand over their cornicelli, crushed them up, set them on fire, and buried the ashes in a coffee can somewhere to never be found. I hate superstition but sometimes it feels like all the last bits of Italian in us died with those little horns.)
We didn't linger after dinner like we used to over coffee and dessert. The restaurant was getting closer to closing and we didn't want to be those insufferable customers that delayed closing. Instead we walk around a little. She shows me the store her grandparents used to live above, the dress store where she bought her wedding dress, the bakery where her parents bought bread. It's nice.
But.
It still feels like it's all coming apart in my hands. Like I was supposed to hold the line and tow it for the next generation but it's all dirty and greasy and frayed and we need to repair it if we're going to continue to hold on but no one wants to slow down long enough to mend anything and at this point I'm wondering if it's worth it to try to find anything. Can we even hold on anymore? How far back did the tear start?
Later, when we've crossed the border again, it feels like leaving something behind. Like so long as we toured old haunts the ghosts of the past got to live again and by leaving we've condemned them back to the shadows. I feel like a murderer.
Because that's the thing, right? It's dead. It's all dead. The thriving immigrant cultures my parents and their parents would wax nostalgic for don't exist anymore. Sometimes, like when my cousin sends us pictures of him making and curing his own sausages and salami or canning sauce it seems like it could come back, but the thing about community is it can never be just one person. Once he gives up that last flickering lantern will be snuffed out and we'll be as American and Canadian as they wanted us to be when we first started coming over here. Or maybe not.
Maybe, the fact that people remember what's gone is a sign that things aren't too far gone.
See, I grew up near Detroit. I know what it looks like when something beautiful decays. I also know that what sticks around after massive decay are the most stubborn creatures around. Not that anyone cares, but Detroit is working really hard to come back, actually, and the organic beauty that's poked up through the rock like seedlings after a volcano will snatch your breath from you.
You'll say it's a coincidence--and cynically I'd say you're right--but not long after I got my updated 23andme results. Things mostly stayed the same. Well, except this time my mom couldn't tear her eyes away from it. Since then she's spent every spare minute researching for and adding to the family tree I have on Ancestry. There's talk of making foods from the old country for Thanksgiving and Christmas long ago abandoned as too complicated. And me, I've started learning Italian. Io sono Lilac.
That meal didn't so much touch something in us as it grabbed us by the guts and led us around with them like a leash until we faced up to the fact that we didn't know who we were anymore. But darn it all if we aren't trying to get back. Maybe it'll start something, maybe it won't. But maybe it will. That's enough for now, I think.
If nothing else I ate well.
I hope you do, too.

@ramblesanddragons Absolutely!
—————
“Hey, go easy on those chips,” says Ford, shooting an admonishing look at his brother, who is currently standing at the wheel of the Stan o’ War II. “Our food has to last us until we get to Yarmouth.”
Stan glares up at his twin, perched on the roof of the boat, adjusting the mounted VHF antenna. “We’d have a lot more money for food if we hadn’t gotten thrown out of that casino in Halifax,” he points out, his fist crammed into a box of Chipackerz. “Bunch of snooty Canadians.”
“And whose fault was that?” Ford retorts, cursing under his breath as he wrestles with the equipment. “I was just minding my own business, and collecting intel on local monster legends. You’re the one who got caught counting cards.”
“I blame modern technology,” says Stan, his mouth spraying crumbs all over the deck. “Damn security cameras are taking jobs from hard-working pit bosses.”
Ford simply rolls his eyes. There’d be no use in mentioning that they had no need of money. Stan’s always on the lookout for an opportunity to rake in some dough.
He climbs down from the roof and lands lightly on his feet. “Not to worry, we’ll be at the next port soon enough,” he says. “But not until we find this Cape Sable serpent I’ve been reading so much about. Where are we, anyway?”
Stan consults the GPS on his phone. “Nearly there. The island should be just on the other side of this… peninsula thingy.”
Sure enough, off in the distance, Ford can just make out the hazy outline of Cape Sable Island, off the southwest coast of Nova Scotia. He’s been excited to investigate this little island since he first heard about it in an unassuming bar in a seaside town. In 1976, there were three separate sightings of a fearsome beast in the waters surrounding the island, all within a week of each other. At first Ford dismissed the accounts as exaggeration — drunk fishermen embellishing each other’s stories for notoriety. Until he heard that a creature matching their descriptions was spotted in the same waters last week.
As Stan brings the boat close to the shore and begins trawling, Ford dons his custom gloves, lifts the lid from one of the storage lockers, and retrieves the fish chum he got from a local bait shop and proceeds to spread it over the surface of the water, hoping the scent will coax the creature to them.
He hears a snort, and looks over to find Stan chuckling to himself. “Imagine if Pa could see us now,” he says. “Throwing fish guts in the water to attract sea monsters on the ass end of Nova Scotia.”
Ford grins. “We’re independently wealthy. We can do whatever the hell we want.”
“Correction: you’re independently wealthy. I’m just a scam artist and a freeloader.”
“Don’t say that,” Ford snaps, his voice unintentionally sharp. “Your contributions have been vitally helpful, Stanley. If it wasn’t for your nautical expertise, we never would have made it this far. Besides,” he adds as his twin opens his mouth to protest, “your worth is not contingent on any knowledge or abilities you may or may not possess.”
He claps his hand on his shoulder. “Forget whatever Pa told you. You’re my brother. That alone makes you invaluable.”
A slow, hesitant smile spreads over Stan’s face. “Thanks, Sixer,” he says, swiping a finger under his glasses. “You know you got chum all over my jacket.”
The smell on the deck of the Stan o’ War is absolutely revolting, but it’s all worth it when the water behind the boat begins to ripple, and a wide head on a long neck rises from the surface to watch them curiously. As Ford and Stan take turns tossing bits of fish to the hungry sea serpent, they laugh and trade friendly barbs with each other.
To hell with Filbrick Pines.
