Pardon me if I continue to rail against the false promises of large sums of money from mobile game apps. I begin with this image: They give you $3000 just to sign up? That sounds great!

I Won the Lottery!
What would you do if you won the lottery? Okay, maybe that should read, “I have won the lottery.” Maybe twice. But I have no idea what happened to that $10.

Risk? Tsk Tsk
When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out? I decided about a month ago to respond to these daily prompts so that I would be writing at least a little each day. Some of the prompts have been great, but another one about risks? As a non-gambler and aContinue reading “Risk? Tsk Tsk”
