I'm so-so at board games and the like, but have been banned for life from playing Pictionary by my HS circle of friends. Who would have guessed that drawing illustrations and symbolic icons for children's textbooks since 1987 would give you a leg up at that game? t /smartass

My university just started taking on-line payments this year. And I think they stopped taking mastercard and only take visa. And they charge a pretty hefty fee to use a credit card. It is very strange, but the objective is to discourage people from paying with credit cards. They can do a direct transfer from a bank account, though.
We still can't take them for the classes I process- I have to send them an email to tell them to call me and give me their card number. I could totally be running a scam!

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
The universities here still take cheques (although not credit cards, as of this year).
What a cutie, sucking his thumb(s) like that!It was initially a problem nursing, as he would stuff his fist in his mouth instead of latching on. However, he caught on quite rapidly and seems to know which one to go for when offered the choice between his fist and a nipple.

We were so bored in the summers growing up that Nutty and I taught ourselves to play canasta, which is a total old-lady card game.
Oh, I did that with a high school friend one summer! We came across the rules in Hoyle or some such and decided to start playing. 'Twas pretty fun, as I recall, though I would have to start from scratch to learn how to play again, now.

Yeah, they were also charging an extra fee for credit card payments and obviously preferred online checks instead.

I learned to play euchre and bridge in college. Made for a lot of dirty-monded puns, somehow.

msbelle, I do miss games with you (except for Balderdash, where we had gotten to the point that we could spot everyone's definition habits).
I was just telling people the other day how we mistakingly let you and your brother pair up for Taboo and how we were crushed because you could give clues like "What you gave grandma for Christmas last year" etc.

The sibling mind-meld in games like that is nearly unstoppable. My sister and I crushed at Pictionary, because she'd make a squibble, and I totally knew what she was thinking.
Edit: spousal mind-melds are much rarer, in my experience. Hence the argument between mr. flea and me about whether his supposed drawing of a ham actually looked more like a can of coke.

No one will let my brother and I be on the same Pictionary team. Ever.
