We all bet on a huge block of chocolate for the Melbourne Cup.
Those that are not old enough to pick get their birth date.
And if that is over the number of horses in the race we add the numbers together.
We have 3 who have picked Best Solutions so far.

I know Rebel. Damn, Kay said it would be bad news if we swapped but it was bad anyway. I enjoy the Melbourne Cup but I hate it when things like this happen. We went to the Byford country club for their Melbourne Cup lunch event. It was a good day. Muggsy, you owe me $12.50 for the Ubers |

My pick got up! Shame I didn’t put any money on it. My friend did but I’m not sure how much it paid.
I had $200 in my purse when we got to the luncheon venue, had lots of fun with friends, bought plenty of wine, placed lots of bets, and still had $200 in my purse when we got home 😃 Winner!
Terrible news about Cliffsofmoher.

that's pretty cool, kay! my sister is lucky like that too. one time she blew her gambling budget and was headed home emptyhanded, found a nickel on the floor, played it in the slot by the door and won 600 bucks! she sent me 50 bucks because it was a 1961 nickel, lol! *my birth year*

My son will be going in to work a bit late today. I told him he's not driving yet!
His work took over a function room at the Empire bar with all food and drinks laid on with a live band, so he was a bit messy when he got home but he had a good day. I believe it cost his company around $20,000.
