A few people came over and gave me little impromptu gifts of snacks wrapped up in napkins, etc which was nice...
After the games were over, I again was congratulated by a few of the people during the clean-up, leaving stage, etc and I was almost to the door when I heard about 15 or so people singing the Happy Birthday song... I had never heard it done before at this venue...
I turned around and took off my hat and when done, thanked them all for the honor... Made me feel special, y'know...
PS
I dodn't win any of the games...sigh
lol
That sounds really cool husky. no wonder that you felt special. there is hardly any person who would not feel that way , and considering the polite person you are, there is no wonder they greeted you that way as you are a regular customer[considering that each time you mentioned bingo you went to the same place] there.

Thank you very much, fen...
@saviour... We meet in the activity room/stage/hall in a gated community, but by state law, when there is a bingo game played for profit (by the operators) then it must be open to the public. I am not a resident of the community, but I am now friends with a few pwople there. I have been going for about 2-1/2 years now and have cut back to only every other week and sometimes less than that. I'm known because of my noise makers...
For example... When the number I22 is called, some people have little plastic or plush ducks and quack them. Me? I went and bought a duck call that is heard for quite a ways around me. When N44 is called, people call out "Dolly's dollies", in reference to Dolly Parton. The first time that number is called I say something like "Hello, Dolly" or Dolly is in the House", just to be a little different. With O75, because most of the people are retired folks, any one 75 and older knock a few times on their tables... (I can't do that one, sigh, I'm not old enough yet.... lol). There are other active numbers as well.
Anyway, when I come back after being gone for a week, people comment to be on how quiet it was while I was gone. Now understand this, I did not start the noise making, this had been going on long before I started there, just that I took it to a different level... Some players hate it, but most get a chuckle out of it. The one downside of it for me is that when I make the noises, etc, I get behind on my cards and have to hurry to catch up...
I have met a lot of new friends while there and even have strangers come up and say 'hi' to me. Of course, some of the women smack me on the shoulder as they go by sometimes, but good-naturedly, because of my teasing. And I tease their husbands, too, if they are married... And with the ones who don't like my noisemaking, it is a kind of "love-hate" thing, lol...
The other bingo hall I go to, we usually only get about 30-40 ppl, because the winning pots are so low, but that is because it is for charitable purposes. I volunteer to call the games sometimes and had to be licensed by the city... I do the noisemaking there as well, but some of the numbers are different.
Yes, it is fun to play and even funner (?) to win, but it is like I tell people, I play mainly for the fun of it. Meeting others and getting out of the house... I'm recognized on the street and in stores and restaurants more often, too.

Highlight of yesterday: moved into a new place with friends. The flat is a little odd, but we're happy with it.
Lowlight: I have a lot of work to do for the first week of classes, and we won't have internet until Friday...

My apartment building was built in the 1940s. lol
LL: People my age are buying their first houses, and I'm wondering how to even afford to feed myself and keep my apartment (which I'm almost barely in, because of studying/hiding from my roommate).
Or how to afford a down payment for my next apartment..
I wish I'd gone to school in or near a city somewhere. There's few employment opportunities here so it's starting to depress me since I have no funds to sustain me through the year or after I graduate.. Or even enough for my textbooks.

Sorry to hear about that. I heard textbooks are uber expensive. Aren't there any schools in your area with a trainee opening?
LL: Really tired and sleepy today. Woke up a lot earlier than I should this morning, probably because I ran a little later than usual last night.

What is a trainee opening? D: I can do job shadowing, but I don't know any of the high school teachers, plus it would be unpaid.
Yeah, I had to buy a new textbook for 60$ today, which is reasonable but it's a feminist research textbook. Gender studies textbooks are constantly printed since new information is added regularly (unlike science textbooks, where you can get away with older editions most of the time). My English courses are pretty standard and it's always easier to find the books used. My boyfriend's close friend runs the local used bookstore. She's even lending me her own personal book for one of my courses since she sold the copy she had. I try to find people in the same classes as me and see if they want to share since books are so expensive, but I don't know many people in my field. Most of my friends are in the science department or social sciences.
HL: I like my field, but I generally feel disconnected from my classmates. Yet I'm fairly happy. I like studying Canadian literature since that's something I hope to one day be a part of myself. It's too bad we don't have a creative writing degree at my school. I'd be much happier with that.
