Mrs. Hillbilly Mom's Luck Is Non-Transferable

What do you get a guy who has everything? And I DO mean EVERYTHING. Except maybe a kitchen sink, but I'm pretty sure he has one of those somewhere. Farmer H is a hard-to-gift man. I knew his boys wouldn't be getting him anything for Father's Day. That would require some effort on their part. I had casually asked Farmer H if he'd like a $3.00 change purse and two boxes of Sno-Caps, and he said he didn't really want those things. To which I replied, "Neither did I."

"HM. I didn't know what to get you. So that's what I got. I thought you'd like them."

So...for Father's Day, I got Farmer H two packs of cookies (SUGAR FREE chocolate chip, and those long wafer kind with icing in the middle, vanilla flavor). I also got him some SUGAR FREE candies, like turtles, and chocolate covered mint, and strawberry creme. I know he likes those. PLUS...I got him some scratchers.

Farmer H has been buying the occasional scratcher for himself these days, being flush with junk money. He always loses, though.

I'd been having a good couple of days with my own scratchers.

I had a WIN ALL on a $5 ticket, which gave me a $100 winner.

And a $75 winner the next day on a different $5 ticket.

So I was very hopeful for Farmer H to win something good. He never buys $10 tickets for himself, so that's what I got him. Plus a couple of $5s.

Well. The only thing that Farmer H won was this:

Yes, for all that, he only won $10. Which is better than a $3.00 change purse and two boxes of Sno-Caps. But still.

Sometimes, you just can't fix loser.
