Thank you

I used to play a lot of games like madlibs, scattegories, noteability (sort of a name that tune, with a tiny little battery-operated grand piano), and what's the name of that one where you draw a picture and your teammate has to guess what it is before the other team does? Other ones, too.

My late husband and I had a group of other couples we'd have dinner with, then play games.

He was great to play with at games like that, but I never played a card game with him because he was cutthroat with those and I didn't like it.

I hate cribbage with an intense passion.

But the one I absolutely loved that we played when we were out, were trivia games. We had a favorite restaurant that played them. You'd get a controller or box or something, and answer questions on a screen.

I'd play that with someone on a date in a heartbeat. Any others, though, like board games, I'd want to wait 'til we'd dated a bit more.

It is a good way to see how someone handles themselves, though.

Needs, not need.


And there should be no 'in', just 'between'.


The original sentence should be 'have', but it makes it sound even more awkward.

Oh, and no apostrophe in 'yours' It's already possessive, it doesn't need to be more possessive.


lol...did I cover all the posts? It's the grammar OCD (it could be my grade school nuns' rulers raising their ugly heads) coming out in me. I usually try desperately to keep it in check.

What is the full sentence?

Neither 'sounds' right because it's an awkward sentence structure. I'd reword it, like the other poster suggested.

Try either of these.

It is required that you have three meters between you and your neighbor'��s camping devices.

It is required you have three meters between yours and your neighbor'��s camping devices.

Required or necessary, whichever word works for you.

lol...I found out I wasn't good enough to be able to compete for the few jobs for costume designers.

But I'm guessing you were!

Oh, I thought there was more. I came in to it late and thought he said to her "is that what you want?"

I assumed they talked divorce or something.

Lake of the Isles. It's one of a chain of lakes in the city of Minneapolis. It's not one you can swim in, though you can in the others in the chain. It's a peaceful lake that promotes contemplation.

And my dad used to tell me stories about the islands.

"don't worry, nothing's wrong" Was that in reply to your asking if there was something wrong, or did he just say it?

If you didn't ask him that, I'd say--well, even with you asking--there is something wrong, and it's him probably wanting to fade away.

I think you're not compatible. You want more interaction and he is either unable or unwilling to meet that desire. He, evidently, does not need that kind or that much interaction as you do and I'm guessing you're not comfortable with as little as he is.

You can watch them online.

I do have some problem keeping which English soldier is which.

It's fascinating, it's about American spies during the Revolutionary War. I also love how bawdy it is. If you happen to watch it again, notice the English soldiers' uniforms emphasis on the crotch.

When I was first in college, I wanted to be a costume designer--so now I pay attention to costuming.


But speaking of Madmen, I missed the phone conversation between Don and his wife. What did they say to each other?

He's got a restaurant now here in Vegas. I keep meaning to try it.

You know he's got cake mixes, etc., for sale, too?

It's shortened version of a name I use on another site. Originally it referred to my favorite lake back home in MN, and the number is my late husband's birthdate.

Well, yeah.

Who doesn't love an alfredo seafood pizza?

We rented The Book Thief last night and it brought out conversation with my 12 yr old daughter. In school, they're touching on WWII and Nazis, etc., so the movie was a catalyst for conversation. It's an excellent movie.

But our consensus, after the movie and my telling her a few stories about her grandparents and great aunts, uncles, etc., was that we are proud and lucky to be Americans.

So, yes. We thank our military for their service and their lives.


On another note--sort of--is anyone watching Turn on AMC?

I love it when a man titters....

It is that. It is more colorful.

I agree! That's how I make them, too. They are so much better than boiled and nasty. I think it would nor work well with frozen, either.

I also think the word you were looking for, Q, was 'meld', not 'fester'.

how 'bout green beans (or wax beans, but they're not green.)

I've been thinking about doing chicken with an apricot glaze, myself.



Soylent Green was on the other night--it really doesn't stand the test of time.

Speaking of which, I watched Purple Rain last night. It doesn't either. It's hard for me to diss a hometown boy, but dang. He can't act and it's a stupid movie. At least I got to see some scenery from home.

But lord, we wore some dumb clothes, hairstyles and make up in the 80's.

well, ye-es

When I was a teenager, I worked for KFC. They gave us all t-shirts that said "finger licking good" My dad wouldn't let me wear it.

Yes, but they wear little diaper bags thingies, so you won't slip on anything.
