My mom would dip across the street to the bar and stay there til like 2am but at least we were home and it was across the street, my dad would leave me somewhere without telling me he’s headed to Delaware for the weekend

I’ve seen those signs at Rivers as well.

The house wins either way

The same reason they give out free hotel rooms, because then people can come gamble with more ease.

Id have to see a detailed implementation policy before I back said mayor. 😂

I think an important note is that there were 2 of us. So not “alone”, and car seats were not at all like they are now. They were 2 pieces of wood with a hook to go over the bench seating and they were very easy to get out of. Back then they were designed to stop us from sliding around on those benches, and had no chance at protecting us in the event of a crash.

Being strapped into a modern car seat completely alone for more than a few minutes is not right. If he was running in to cash a lottery ticket or something and was coming right back, I may think differently. If he was chilling at a craps table…

Well that is nice to hear! Chocolate sauce is not for sale unfortunately but if it isn't busy feel free to ask the baristas for the recipe - it is super simple to make, just cocoa powder, sugar, and water.

It’s all good, I’m a much better dad than he was and that makes me proud

My mom would regularly do this any time we came back from anywhere and we could pass by a casino. I'll be right back always meant 4hours later.

Back when we were kids, AC used to have this indoor amusement park called Tivoli Pier. I think it was at what is now Tropicana. We'd get dropped off and go to town on the games and indoor roller coaster while my parents gambled 🤣

Wow wtf dude. You prob would have been happy if he went out for milk and hadn’t come back. Sorry man.

This is just impressive at this point. I'm not even sure I'm mad anymore.

Other day I walked past my car and someone had parked their POS not only touching mine but physically pushing my bumper in. On what fucking planet is that acceptable. I get that theres going to be a bit of contact every once in a while in tight spaces but that's just next level selfish behavior

Many providers understand ALS well at penn so it’s hard not to find a good one. This one I put down runs an ALS clinic. Here is the clinic as well and all these physicians specialize in ALS and similar disorders. https://www.pennmedicine.org/for-patients-and-visitors/find-a-program-or-service/neurology/neuromuscular-disorders/penn-comprehensive-als-center

We knew he was a degenerate as kids, well I did the others were oblivious. I can’t even say my dads name without Italian dudes following me after. Seriously that’s not a joke, I was in college and someone asked what my dads name was because my last name is kinda prominent around here and the next day some dude named Liuzi or whatever was waiting outside my school asking where he was and I gave him his exact location because fuck him. He messed with the bikers, the IRA, the unions, we had dudes snorting coke off dollar store monkey placemats at our kids table for dinner. I’m getting riled up because I hated my dad and the day he died is coming up fast so I’m kinda rambling. He charged his friends to rape my 4 year old sister, tried drowning me in a toilet then a pool knowing I couldn’t swim, tried stabbing my brother, tried electrocuting my mom. God I wish I coulda been what killed him.

I don’t think it’s legal. I don’t believe you can have a casino within a certain distance of schools, churches, daycares and stuff like that.

The next Mayor should run on a platform of freedom for Casino Car Kids

It took me 15 mins to extract my car from it’s spot the other day due to a narrow street with bollards on both sides surrounded by close parkers.

No lie I got out of my car 3 times to check to make sure I wasn’t going to scrape the car in front of me. I swear it should be an Olympic event at this point lol.

My dad used to take me into the Moose club with him and if I was too rowdy they would spike my Shirley Temple.

Good times.

and the local officials get a few key neighborhood people on board who then convince the local mouthbreathers that the casinos will bring MoAr JoBs! to the area. The shit that old school Towners and that stupid fucking FACT Org were pushing when they were pushing to build Sugarhouse was appalling. What an absolute waste of prime riverfront space to build a palace of degeneracy.

Born in ‘82. Mom left me and next oldest brother (‘80) in the car as far back as I can remember. 2 hours in the grand union parking lot as she got some of her own alone time. It was a blast. He and I are best friends to this day. She left the older 3 (‘78, ‘76, ‘75) home, very much alone as well. 🤷🏻. A different time, with different kids.

We could make toast, cook eggs, clean up and do our laundry before we turned 8 years old. There are 6 year olds at my kids school that can’t dress themselves. 8 year olds that can’t tie their shoes. It’s really strange to see.
