      "Sweety" got back to her lazy ways this evening visiting only two different persons. She waited until game three when "Bad Betty" Morehouse called for her. She was content there until game seven when John "Rotten" Reed playing "Bad Betty" Morehouse calmly reached across the table to secure her and held on to her for the rest of the night to collect the $14.00 from the last 24 Hand Pot.
