A News Magazine in the 90's or early 2000s did a report on a Woman who's grocery bill came up to $6.66. She was a devout Christian and freaked out about 666 as 666 is the Devil's number. She bought a $1 lottery ticket to make her total go to $7.66(Ironically gambling is also against Christianity 💡) and WON MILLIONS. 😀

Remarkable if true.

Even in the 1990's, I seem to recall groceries generally costing more than that.
May the cards fall in your favor.

It depends on the groceries. In the 90s, I could buy a six-pack and a bag of chips( traditional Irish breakfast) for about $6.66.
The beauty of stories like that isn't if they are true or not, it's that they might be true.
The older I get, the better I recall things that never happened

They didn't specify what she bought. 💡 Over the years I have rung up hundreds of Customers whose bill turned out to be $6.66.💡

One time I was registering a car at DMV and they gave me a plate with 666 on it. I handed it right back and told them where to shove it.

Not because I am especially sensitive about that, but there are people walking around with serious disorders who believe they are being tormented by the devil and seeing me driving around with that could lead such a person to believe I have something to do with their torment and make me their target. I'm talking about the kind of people who hear voices that never seem to tell them to do anything good.

I also don't like anything that draws attention to my car or makes it memorable. Unless you're doing some kind of showmanship, when is a stranger noticing or remembering your car ever good?

Sure, so have I. Back when, that might have gotten me a pack of smokes, a bag of mini crunch donuts, and a 6 pack of Jolt cola, but I wouldn't classify that as "groceries".

Then again, I'm also unlikely to worry myself over a bit of numerological superstition or win a million bucks off a scratcher, so...

A Poster said something like, "Inflation is truly disgusting. I was already an Adult in 1977(I was born in 1950) and in 1977 I bought a full Chinese Dinner and a movie ticket with a large popcorn and a large Coke for $5. Today a full Chinese Dinner, a movie ticket with a large popcorn and a large Coke costs around $55, a whopping $50 more for the same meal 48 years ago! Inflation is truly disgusting.😡🤬

I don't necessarily agree with these comments, but will fight to defend their right to state them.

To answer my original post, I found out that Zoroastrianism is very opposed to gambling.

In the morning I will write about how “chance rituals” led to the development of written language in Eastern Asia

As to the 24-hour adoration chapel in Las Vegas, it is at the St. Bridget Roman Catholic Church at 220 N 14th St.

Interesting. I took a look at it on the maps. Looks like a shrine is in the parking lot out in the open. I don't think I've been to that part of town before.

I was picturing a different church in that area, St. Joan of Arc, which is a very small church you pass on the walk from the bus station to the Downtown stores. Like the cathedral on the Strip it also has a very attractive tiled front. It's on a block with a couple of Vegas-style wedding chapels so I guess it must also be used for solemnizing marriages, also that seems inauspicious, to be married in a church named after a woman known for giving a lot of orders and for celibacy.

It's also across the street from a jail. I walk quickly down that block, two distinct ways a man can lose his freedom! All it needs is a military recruiting office and a timeshare sales office for the complete set.
