Tara ,'First Date'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It was sweet. Her nephew lived in SF, and when he visited, he brought us tons of cheap stuff from Chinatown that we adored -- little silk coin purses, fans, dolls, paper garlands.
Her cat was this huge pampered white calico, very soft and fluffy and haughty. Her name was Sweetie.
Liese, it's all yours!
I kinda want to get chutes and ladders for mac. the pictures would be a good visual for him of actions....consequences. I am so very glad that we have the old versions of many board games, like clue and milles bornes (which yes, we called mills borns) and mastermind. We will be starting a game night once a week in Texas with the grandparents. I am VERY excited.
We just cleared out a bunch of games. I know we still have Backgammon, Mancala, chess, checkers...
I was wondering if there is any way possible that Helen Thomas was just being old and crotchety
"I introduced Agnew to the ways of love, dammit! I can say what I want!"
Awesome.
I used to play Life with kids I babysat for. I always lost spectacularly. I always ended with billions of children and no money
We had this marvellous game in England which was British Rail, and you had to work out how to get from place A to place B most efficiently, and we were all up on the entire rail system plus tourist destinations.
Oh my gosh, I would LOVE that game!!
I think it's still available. If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's part of a whole series of rail games. The original was Empire Builder; Eurorails is in the series too.
Backgammon was a game my sister and I got into in high school. Euchre was the hot card game in our high school before I started, but I learned to play so I could partner with my older siblings and cousins. By the time I started high school, though, it was a dying fad, and after freshman year, I didn't play again until a few decades later.
