CLOSED-LCB's 12 Days of Christmas Contest - Free No Deposit Chips and $500 Cash!

probably Dough Boy..?

Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.

Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours.

Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.

Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children, John Doug h and Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

you forgot to mention that episode with Mr. Goodbar and his Butterfinger and how Baby Ruth came to be.  lol

I think it was JACK FROST !

Any update from lucky red or club world ??

Ghost of the future because I would see things in the future and will make changes to be a better person I can be while I'm still alive now. 
Ghost in the past or present-  I would see things already happened and if I regret something, there's nothing I can do, I can't turn back the hand of time, hehe. 

I was going to ask the same thing.

We had the delay because some members didn't PM their user names to me at both casinos. I emailed all the user names yesterday and now that the weekend is here and the holiday is on Monday and Tuesday this could take a bit of time.

I did just email the rep again expressing the urgency for our anxious members!

I do apologize and it has not been forgotten.

Who stole Santa's cookies and drank his hot chocolate? Glad you asked. Noone stole the cookies and hot chocolate; Santa finished them off. I mean, look at that belly. I got framed for the crime by that man many times as a child.

Np at all Lips and thx for replying

WHO STOLE THE CHRISTMAS COOKIES?

      My brother Joey and I had just finished hanging our stockings by the fireplace one Christmas Eve, when the most disturbing thought crossed my mind. "Joey!" I shrieked. "Did you know that we forgot something?"  "No we didn't," said Joey crossly. "We've got both our stockings hung up. What could we possibly have forgotten?" "We forgot the cookies," I explained to my seven year old brother, who happened to be older than me and who also happened to be more selfish than me.
"Cookies!" Joey laughed. "Why would you want to have cookies just before you go to bed?" "They aren't for me silly," I declared. "They're for Santa Claus." "Oh my!" Joey suddenly clued in. "Mom! Mom! We forgot to leave a snack for Santa! He'll never leave me the racing car set if we don't leave him a snack. How could we have forgotten something so important?" Mommy came running into the family room. She had flour allover her face and in her hair. She looked very funny.
"Children!" she cried. "What is all this screaming about? I've got to finish my pies. This had better be important." "Oh Mommy," I said very seriously. "We forgot something." "Now Missy," Mommy said, a bit impatiently. "What did we forget?"
"We forgot Santa's snack," Joey and I cried in unison. "Oh my!" sighed Mommy. "Santa's snack! How did we ever forget that? Come on children, let's go into the kitchen." Joey and I followed Mommy into the kitchen. We both sat down at the table while she heated up the hot cocoa and poured Santa a big heaping glass full. Then she went to the pantry to get the cookie jar and she set it on the table. "Now," said Mommy. "You two each pick out a cookie for Santa and put them on the saucer." I let Joey pick out the first cookie. Very carefully, he took the lid off the ceramic jar and set it on the table. He reached deep into the jar and then he let out the loudest scream that we had ever heard. "There are no more cookies left!" he cried. "That's impossible!" Mommy said, as she picked up the cookie jar and examined it. "I just baked a fresh batch this afternoon. Where could they be? Who stole the Christmas cookies?" Just then, Daddy walked into the kitchen. He had a plate full of Christmas cookies in one hand and an empty cup in the other.
"I just came up to get another cup of hot cocoa," he said. "These cookies are really great!" Mommy dropped the cookie jar onto the floor. "No!" she cried. "Don't eat those cookies! We need them for Santa Claus!" Daddy gladly gave up his cookies for such a worthwhile cause when he saw the look of anguish on our faces. Joey and I put the cookies on the table beside cup of hot cocoa and then we went to bed to dream of sugar plums, Santa Claus and those cookies, all night long.

It was Santas Head Elf "Herself". Thats her job. She is in charge of collecting all the cookies left for Santa on Christmas eve. Because what they do with them is the day after Christmas they have a great big cookie party!!!  All 1700 elves and Santa and Mrs. Clause have a great big cookie banquet that lasts all day long.

My husband always steals the cookies and milk. 

Obviously he has to leave a few crumbs to make it look realistic.

I wish to thank my Daddy for all the wonderful things he has been to me.For giving me life  My Dad gave me  strengh,,a, smile when it seemed there was nothing to smile about. When my mother passed he was there to hold my hand tight. He helped me see the beauty in nature, amd the excitement of watching your favorite football team win.He taught me to enjoy simple things like a icy cold orange plucked from our trees. I got my latin hips and salsa moves from him. He was funny and quirky and I miss him very much. He was 82 when he passed this September . But he is here everyday and I see so much of my Dad in my kids and grandkids eyes . Love you Daddy and will see you someday Gracias Papee

I would to thank my DAD for being everything I needed this year.  Even though he was having a hard time, he was always there to listen to my gripe about little things, be a shoulder to lean on, offer sound advice, share memories and always tell me how proud he is of the person I have become and what I have accomplished.  Words are hard to find to express the love and gratitude I feel.  I love you, daddy.

                                                                DAD
He never looks for praises
He's never one to boast
He just goes on quitely working
For those he loves the most
His dreams are seldom spoken
His wants are very few
And most of the time his worries
Will go unspoken too
He's there.... A firm foundation
Through all our storms of life
A sturdy hand to hold to
In times of stress and strife
A true friend we can turn to
When times are good and bad
One of our greatest blessings,
The man that we call Dad




I would give him the world if I could.......

I want to thank Nutrisystem and the YMCA this year. I have lost 123 lbs since April 1. I eat nutisytem and do water aerobics and water Zumba at the Y. I know I pay for it but they have been only a phone call away and have helped when I stalled for a time. The councelers at the YMCA got my 60 yr old butt moving and groving in the water. I look and feel 100 % better . I have made many new friends in water class and it is quite a inspiration to see 80 yr old woman come to class as well.

Didn't even have to think about this one because it's someone I think about at least once a day. A friend of my son's was killed in a one car accident the end of this summer; he was only 20 years old. My son and him were like brothers and he would affectionately call me mom. After graduating high school they spent less and less time together, but still kept in touch. Unbeknownst to me, sometime during his senior year at high school he started to become "aware of God's presence in his life". In college he joined the Campus Crusade and had recently returned from a summer spent in Myrtle Beach spreading the word of God's love to whoever would listen. I thought "what 20 year old kid does that?". He had only been home about two weeks when he was called home.
I never knew the young man he had become until after his death. I was in awe of the things I heard from others and read on his facebook. Now, I like to think of myself as a good, religious person, but truth is, I have been attending church less and less over the past ten years.
The day of his funeral, something just hit me and I thought  "I want to be like him". And I will say that I have changed; they're little things but it's a start. I wasn't a bad person before, but there were little things I became aware of that I could change to become a better person.
If anyone is curious and you have facebook or twitter accounts, I have provided links to his facebook and twitter. His last tweet was ominous; it was just hours before he fell asleep at the wheel:

Little Angels Taken Too Soon at Sandy Hook

Don't want to chat but..heartwarming posts.  Great idea, LCB... wonderful reading.

Congrats missymoo...great accomplishment!

Very touching posts and courageous to open your hearts like you have and thank you.

My best friend, Shelley, was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year. This news hit me very hard. There is no history of it in her family and she was the picture of health. I've never had anyone that was this close to me get cancer. I was afraid and not sure what to do. I knew that I wanted to be with her and be there for her. After her surgery to remove the mass, I spent a few days with her and learned she would have to have chemotherapy treatments for about six months once her wound healed. We've all heard about how sick chemotherapy makes you. But fortunately, she was one of those rare people who didn't get sick from it. Yes, it depleted her energy, made her tired, made her sleep alot, and everything else, but, thankfully she didn't have to suffer from being ill for days after a treament. She is almost done now with the chemo and has just one more treatment next month. Turns out, she is the strong one out of us all. Although I thought I was being strong for her, she was the one who is strong, She was the one who comforted me and said that she was going to beat this, no question. She has continued to remain strong, physically and mentally. She has inspired me to not take people or things that are important to you for granted. That life is too short and it can be taken away from you in an instant, and to enjoy moment of every day. and to live life to the fullest  That is why she is my inspiration, my hero and I love her very much!!

So many members here at LCB touched me this year after my mom died last Christmas Day. 

I have never met one of you personally but after I posted my loss, the replies of thoughts, prayers and comfort helped me more than I can express.  I have often gone back to that thread and been lifted by your kindness. 

I want to thank you, deeply and sincerely, from the bottom of my heart.  It is amazing how 'strangers' can lift you up and give you strength to get through a very difficult time.

Gabby, that was a great post.....you just touched me.  :'(

i woud like to thank my wife for telling me the best news she coud that we are expecting a baby

Congratualtions!!

I would like to thank my son for pushing me to never give up on my dreams no matter how hard the struggle is.He should really be recognized for his sacrifices as the oldest child who always comes in last so that his siblings can have a great Christmas or nice school clothes.When i got so sick this year i was bed ridden and he ckeaned cooked did hair and took care of me.Hes one awesome kid and i thank God for all of my kids but i thank God my oldest son is who he is.His christmas wish is for me to have a good life and not give up.If i could give him something for xmas it would be the laptop he wants (but doesnt ask for).

I too was extremely touched by the LCB members this year with a situation I had with a bingo CH about bullying.The support, messages and help I received from you was exceptional, and I must THANK YOU  all once again. My oldest son was a teenager when all this happened and he remembers it all to well, so i read the posts to him (he's french) and he was also brought to tears from it all. I am proud to say from our experience, my son Terry, has grown into an exceptional young man, who now speaks out on bullying and it's affects to the kids in his old high school.  And I know that it has made him a better person.  I also would like to thank the Lord for blessing him & his girlfriend, they are expecting in September...I'M GONNA BE A GRANDMOTHER..YAYYY . May the Lord bless each & every LCBer and there families. Enjoy your time with your loved ones and take care of each each other...
P.S  Thank you LCB for everything you do for us!!
                    Bless &  HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
                                            4Grace. x

                                             
                             

After I read Gabby's post about her Dad, I cried. 

My Dad died a few years back.  We had words, in fact it was a bad argument.  So,  I thought it best for me to  just keep my distance and given enough time all would be good.  Well that never happened.  I got a phone call from my sister telling me my Dad had passed.

Words can't express how horrible I feel to this very day, I never got to tell him, Dad I'm sorry.  My Dad won't be able to read this but I'll say it anyway, Dad I'm sorry!

So Gabby, give your Dad the world, but even better, hug him and tell him how much you love him while he is still in this world.  Remember, none of us is guaranteed tomorrow!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

I would like to thank my husband, Bill for being the most wonderful human being I've ever met!

Since we first started dating back in 1995 a day hasn't gone by that I haven't felt adored and cherished!!!  This is a second marriage for both of us and as you might imagine we've had some struggles.  We've been through the death of his father, my mother, my best friend's husband (who was Bill's dear friend), struggles with his two children, struggles with my children, money issues, Bill's 15 month deployment to Iraq just to name a few.  Through it all, he haskept his wonderful sense of humor and his fierce loyalty!

We still laugh every day , never bring our bad days home from work, truly respect each other.  But most of - he makes me feel loved, secure each any every single day  He also makes me laugh until my sides and face hurt!!!  What a spectacular gift he has been in my life!  And after all these years, this beautiful 60 year old man, still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up when he kisses me.........life is good!

I would like to thank my parents and all my friends. It was a very difficult year for me, both in material terms and in personal life. But I've never stayed alone with the problems, I have always been willing to help. Perhaps this was the first time I really realized how important it is to have true friends.

I would like to thank my children's for making me smile everyday even the days haven't been so good i never waited christmas so much before i didn't hav them now i can giv som of the smile back to them

I've moved for the third time in three years so my BF could go back to school and get his degree then later to do his job placement for school, then ultimately his job, this time furthest from all my friends and family. I've had to shelf my life and stay home with the dogs so he could have the luxury to pursue his dreams. It's been a REAL strain relationship wise and a lot of ugly moments throughout. But I'm slightly older, I've had the chance to pursue my goals, and he deserves the chance to pursue his.
It's worked well; he's this month now working in a group home for disadvantaged/disenfranchised troubled youth, be it 'bad kids' or kids with some pretty awful parents. It's still hard. He's on call, erratic hours and even has to sleep at work overnights, and is often doing three continuous shifts (ie 16-24 hour stretches).
But it's been worth it. He's happy, successful and he's a real solid impact reaching the kids where others have failed.
So, thank you to Derek, for pushing through, making the Dean's list every semester, a shoo-in for valedictorian, and having the highest G.P.A in the history of the college. WTG babe

If i decorated the palm tree i would spray snow all over it and also under it.  I would hang garland, icicles, and shiny bulgs, all over it, and I would put the tiny little blinking multi color lights all over it as well.  This way the people who live in that climate could get a feel of a snowy Colorado Christmas!

That contest is over please scroll back a page for this contest's details.

The most special person in my life.
Sorry for the bad english , i used google translate!

Dear mother,

I write this letter at all that day would have to talk to you.

I want to thank you now for all that you did for me and I have received and I asked as I would be due.

Thank you, dear mother, that you know to be near me when I was away from your soul, that you loved me in moments you do not deserve and because you did not love simplicity never displayed.

Thank you for your hand on your forehead the night I had a bad dream for tea in the evening when I had a fever for the first Christmas tree because you've opened the door Santa every year, for the first bag and the first trip to mountain.

Thanks for showing me what pure love, and time has shown me that only you can love me this way.

I appreciate you, dear mother, for all your sacrifices that only now I understand and I confess that still remained angel of my childhood. You angel who brightened my path in life has taught me courage as the first lesson and gave me the theme of my entire existence.

You held my hand and stayed with me as long as I needed to learn to do things in the future.

Forgive me, dear mother, I realized so late that I hurt you and sometimes you have moments when you suffer for my happiness.

I'm sorry, mom, for moments when I heeded your advice and for when you've left the word.

I wish to be ideal child can not turn back time, but I'll try that in the future, to be proud of me.

Happy Birthday, Mom! It's your birthday ... Please forgive me for not writing you this letter 365 a year!

With all my love,
Your child

Thanks to my brother and LCB! Happy Holydays and Merry Christmas!

I would sincerely like to thank the cast and crew of LCB for these thought provoking contests.I have really enjoyed participating in the contest with so many of our fine members. Particularly the ones were we share thoughts , feelings, and imagination. The moderators have  put time and dedication into these contests. Thank you for a Stellar job! Also Thank you to the members that have opened their hearts to share so many stories and memories.It has really given me insight into our members My brain has run rampant this season from Halloween to Christmas thinking about my 4 kids and 9 Grandchildren and my grazy holiday stories . You guys opened a door
Merry Christmas and God Bless Us Everyone!

Beyond beautiful gifts for special moments of spontaneity, smiles, I drew a line. I do not make plans for tomorrow, not for yesterday reproach. I just know that, at present, are aware more than ever of the importance of people as honest, beautiful, and are close. Because I started the 26-th year of life with the feeling that when you want to enjoy and live beautifully, you have to fight a bit. With their mists, the mists of others.

Merry Christmas LCB

Would just like to take the time to thank all of you. Thank you LCB for all the work you do for us. Thank you members for all the support. This last contest has been heartwarming and I now feel you are more than just a name on a page. It's nice to win, but I actually had fun just participating; I liked the snowball fight the best.

I want to Thank my Grandchildren for keeping me 60 years young. My oldest is 18, 6'5 honor student football player. He loves to hug me as I am less than 5 feet tall . my two grandsons in Michigan are so polite and are kind and wonderful hockry players . My 2 15 and 13 are funny, respectful and very good conversationalist. My 14 yr old grandson is intelligent and helps Grandma keep up on the latest Technology and a super artist. My 2 granddaughters 8 and 10 are beautiful, charming princesses. My 3 and a half yr old is the child I have cared for since he was born. He sleeps with me and calls me Mama . My daughter is a nurse and works quirky hours so I live with her , and my son in law and my 2 grandchildren, I find i have so much more patience with them then I did with theyre parents and of course Grandma has alot of time to play or just to listen . Several sad little hearts over the horrible tragedy in Conn. this year . But our Holiday Hearts go on . I LOVE them more than life and tehy make life worth living for me  Thank you letting me share 

The person that most touched me this year  was a homeless man named " William ".  About back in may I started  walking  my little dog down to the corner store. On the side of the building there was an old dirty looking man. Every day this old man would say hello to me and pet my dog . I really didn't like it  at first but than after  a couple of weeks of making small talk I began to know him. He had a family at one time and held a job. He lost his family in a car accident about 10 years ago. He slowly began to lose every thing he owned but didn't care. He said it was easier to live and cope with his lose being homeless. They have shelters and give the homeless a hot dinner every night here so I wasn't real worried about him. I would take him food so he would have something at night if he was hungry. Well about 2 months ago I found out that he had past away. He's now with his family. After meeting William I realize how lucky I am to have what I have and my family. now when things don't go right I don't let it bother me. like they say " don't sweat the small shit." I  value my family more now. before I would hold a grude and be mad for a couple of days but no more. I don't  even want to think about not having my family around no matter how mad they make me. I feel bad that no one will remember William besides me and I would hate for that to happen to me.

am not very good at writing sorry. thanks LCB for letting me tell you guys about William. There are so many homeless people in the world and it is just sad weather they chose to be homeless or not.

My best friend Alex
Friendship - however most people are found guilty of two sins: hatred and weakness, or when they go well despise their friends, or when friends are in trouble, they leave. So the one who will appear in both circumstances earnest, steadfast, firm in friendship to cherish it because im such people are rare and almost divine.

There are a lot of people who impressed me this year.

First of all "The Fastest man on no legs" Oscar Pistorius for showing me that you can reach everything, even if you have a big handicap.
At second: Ron Paul! It's a shame that he never had a real chance against Romney. Even though it does not affect me directly as I'm not from the US, in my opinion he would have been a great president.  You gave back my faith that there are trustworthy politicians in this world - Thank you!
Then I have to give a big thanks to my auntie, for holding on our family traditions and keep us together after my beloved grandma passed away this year.
And last but not least the staff and members here at LCB. You are always helpful, sometimes made me laugh with your funny posts and sometimes I'm really stunned by your compassion when someone write a sad/horror story of their life/s.

Merry Christmas!

This story very much touched my life. It happened about a week ago near where I live.


When San Francisco police Officers Steve Gritsch and Matt Cloud were handed a bloody baby wrapped in a jacket last week, it only took one look for Cloud to know that the blue baby was in trouble.
"Having two young children, I know what a baby should look like when it's first born," 30-year-old Cloud said Monday in recounting the events. "This baby showed no signs. There was no movement, no screaming, no crying, no puffiness of the chest as if he was breathing."
Gritsch, 27, took the baby out of the rain and began doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a nearby Muni platform, pumping the baby's tiny chest as he recalled medical training from his time as an emergency medical technician and firefighter.
Gritsch and Cloud won praise Monday from Police Chief Greg Suhr and other officials, who told a news conference that the officers' quick thinking saved the baby boy who had just been born and apparently abandoned early Wednesday.
A man holding the newborn flagged down police around 2 a.m. at Third Street and McKinnon Avenue. Several police units were dispatched in response to reports of a bleeding woman - Nneka Nash, the boy's mother - but Cloud and Gritsch turned their attention to the baby.
As he watched Gritsch start CPR, Cloud realized an ambulance was probably 10 to 15 minutes away and that time was not on their side, he said.
Gritsch put the baby on his lap in the passenger seat of their squad car while Cloud drove to San Francisco General Hospital, telling dispatch along the way to alert the hospital of their arrival.
Gritsch said he'd never done successful CPR on anyone and had never attempted CPR on a baby.
"I was pretty thrilled about that," he said.The drive was tense for both officers, who each have children younger than 5.
"While I was driving, out of my peripheral I could see (Gritsch) doing the CPR and hear him crying and talking to the baby, telling the baby to come back and breathe," Cloud said. "That's something I'll never forget."
Nash, 39, the mother, was arrested and has been charged with one felony count of willful cruelty to a child and one misdemeanor count of failure to provide care for a child. She remains in custody and is set to be arraigned Tuesday morning. The baby, who has not been named, remains at San Francisco General.

A Christmas MIRACLE!

I would like to thank everyone who supported a charity.I have seen some very great stories of people helping not only for Christmas but thru out the year.I would like to thank our troops who fought and continue to fight for our country.I would like to thank my parents for teaching us to be who we are and for giving us the strength to keep going even when we want to give up.I give a very special thank you to my brother who was murdered at 21 just trying to do what we were always taught and that's to be kind to those less fortunate then us.I miss you Richard with all my heart its been 18 years and my heart still weeps for u.You are my hero and even though i couldn't forgive the young men that committed this act then,i can now.I never got the chance to say good bye,that i love you.You were the oldest and the wisest person i knew always keeping us in line and giving even the coat off your back to the homeless.
I wanted to share one story that i remember to this day and will never forget.My brother and i were on our way to do some last minute Christmas shopping when we saw a pregnant women standing at the bus stop in the cold.It was Sunday and no buses ran that day where i live.My brother pulled up and asked the lady if she needed a ride.She said no.Then my brother took the expensive leather coat from his back and gave it to the lady.He also gave her money to buy food.When he got back in the car i told him,moms going to kill you first of all about that coat and we needed that money for a gift.I also said shes probably going to buy crack with that money.My brother looked at me and said if God says move im going to move.I didnt understand then but i do now.My brother committed this act of kindness because his heart told him to.My brother got killed the next year giving someone a ride home from work who he barely knew.The guy from work set my brother up to be robbed.
          Hug your family love your family be kind to each other because you never know when its time to leave this place.

I want to thank God, Spirit , Mother Goddess or what ever name you use to call the spiritual force you pray to . It has been a trying year , so much violence in the world. unemployment , my son lost his job with Wonderbread after 16 years when they closed . But still we can see the beauty in the sunrise , a babys smile , , happiness of a gentle squeeze. I was very thankful the world didnt end Dec 21 2012 ,. Thankful for another lovely day . I look forward to Christmas with my family and pray each and everyone of you have the most magical of Holidays and spirt moves in your life this coming year and you all prosper .

I would would like to thank the internet ( computer ). I don't even want to think what I would do without the internet. ( trying to remember what I did before I got the internet..lol ). I have the hole world at my finger tips. I can video chat , chat , play games , look up information , shop , pay bills , meet people from all over the world , watch videos and so much more. My life would be so boring without it. I have meet some really sweet people online. I call them my internet family. I feel really blessed to have the internet in my life without it I would not be here  ( LCB ) today. Some days I don't even leave my house cause every thing I want to do or know is right here. thank you internet ( computer ).

thanks

Like Missymoo, I would like to thank God for my 5 children and the 4 grandchildren he has given me. I have been divorced for almost 10 years now and my children and grandchildren are my life. They have and still are giving me the best memories of my life. The Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy just wrenches my heart; what if they were my grandchildren. Little lives who will never experience the earthly joys I have experienced. RIP little angels.
