I've recovered some of my Stock and investment losses by winning a couple local poker events...poker is pretty easy, it's all math in the long term.

Instead of blowing the new found riches on either whores, or useless gifts for people who have everything already, I made a donation to Shriner's Hospital, and to a local pet shelter that recently rescued a bunch of tropical snakes from some idiot in Vermont who had the slithery creatures in a near coma because the temp in his glass environment was 8-1/2 degrees too cold. Apparently snakes from the amazon need their heat. So i felt compelled to help the shelter until they find a home for the snakes or pay to have them sent back to whereverthefuck. whys hould dogs and cats get all the help, snakes are cool.
