I can understand it. It's "Ask the Wizard" not "Ask the Wizard only questions regarding casino games and probabilities". I bet he gets home and auto repair questions too. Which reminds me, when is the last day I can leave my Christmas lights up? |

| DJTeddyBear Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 105 Posts: 5727 | I was raised Jewish, so I don't really have experience, but I always thought that you leave them up until the 12th day of Christmas. If 12/25 is the first day, then you keep them up until 1/5. Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown.
But how much does it cost to knock on wood? |

| Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 14, 2009 Threads: 313 Posts: 6783 | I don't know why I got the first relationship question, but I answered it. Somehow the search engines picked up on the terms cheating and boyfriend together and people searching on that topic often found their way to me. No, I don't get a lot of questions on auto repair and things like that. Pretty much 97% of gambling interest and 3% cheating boyfriends.
We took ours down on new years day. I think the last day of the holiday season is Jan 1. After that it is back to grindstone, and hit the gym to atone for holiday gluttony. It doesn't bother me if some people take some extra days past new year's day to get around to taking the lights down. The latest I can forgive would be a week after new years. I would defer to whatever my HOA CC&Rs say, but forgive me if I don't look for them and then dig through them for the pertinent rule. Knowing them, they would be less tolerant than I am. It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. |

Funny thing, someoen asked me today, seriously, how Jews celebrate Christmas :) In Mexico there's a holiday on Jan 6th, which is suposed to honor the three Wise Men who brought gifts to Jesus, or something like that (I was also raised Jewish). In any csae children get gifts that day, apart from what they got on Christmas. The tree and lights stay up til at least then. On relationships, does anyone remember an old MGM cartoon about a romance between a dot and a line? I recall a few other math related cartoons, mostly by MGM and Disney, but that was the only one with a mathematical romance. This space is closed for remodeling |

Me, too, and Christmas season was always interesting and pleasant. We'd look at it and say: 1. Look! It's the TREES with THE LIGHTS going up again, vas is diss (what is this), - must that that time of year...music, too! 2. Everybody's drinking buttermilk with Rum and Sugar in it, wearing the red hats with the white fur trim. Tastes good AND has a kick...Maneschevitz don't have shit on this drink... 3. What, is it everyone's birthday? Presents for EVERYONE...love it! ...with little me thinking, "this kicks Hanukkah in the butt." As for Mike hosting relationship questions, why not? I'd have fun with it - in a gambling or book sense, "Chances are 82.7% he is screwing your best friend. Let us know how it turns out, because we are offering odds on it..." Roxbury could have fun with this, along with the late Lefty Rosenthal, "Listen, bubbula, why bet on a loser? Hedge your bets with a date with Mikey, you got nothing to lose if he's playing you like that!" Gambling doesn't build character, it reveals..no character. But a lot of characters. |
