Title: 11/11/11
Post by: DonaCatalina on November 10, 2011, 10:43:07 AM
What do you have planned?
Several casinos (http://casinoconnectionac.com/issue/vol-8-no-10-november-2011/article/atlantic-city-s-11-11-11-promotion) have planned special events and half price deals to capitalize on the belief that it might be a lucky day.

I have to work; but his Lordship is taking me out to lunch.
Neither one of us have any living relatives who are veterans.

Have to work that night. Weighing out how much trouble I may get in for letting all ID carded vets in free, though. ;)

I think DC was commenting on the numerology of the date, rather that the significance of the date to the U.S. Military.

Well yes, but hey, the significance of the date matters as well. It was more of a will 11/11/11 or Remembrance day affect your plans more.

Apologies of a sort, but....

Marines never forget. ;)


As for the numerology though, I just never been into it that much. However should luck come along and drop a truckload upon my doorstep tomorrow, I shall be ever so grateful and will certainly share with all my friends.  :)

I have already missed two rapture dates so far as well. Same old story, day late gazillion dollars short..... :P

With respect to the date, always keep in mind:
There are 10 kinds of people who understand binary: those who do, and those who don't.
