We played Skip-Bo a couple of times, dad won both somehow. I played many 1-on-1 games of Phase 10 with my mom. My family is certainly one that likes UNO.Spades....I think I've played that & that's like Hearts & Eucher too.....
I played Poker once. Came in 2nd, tho I only half knew what I was doing.
Oh yes, UNO is a must. Phase 10 & Skip-Bo too.
I'm surprised you don't know Bridge. I should ask my grandma to teach me. She knows it.
No idea. I've also thought of piano. I figured since I can type, piano would just be the next level.
Cool.
Miss a lot of what?
I don't think I ever saw hockey in-person till I was in high school, tho I loved it growing up. My family used to have a horse, so they like horse racing, tho I never got into it.
Maybe I should learn to ride? I was too young when we had it, but that could be fun.
That makes sense. I bet he goes on lots of dates. He's content w/ that, partly b/c he has faith the one (you) will come.
It was kinda like that for my family, except I don’t think it took nearly that long. Now we play by the actual rules. We used to stack draws 2’s and draw 4’s, and we would draw until we could play something.My family enjoys UNO too! We've had games go on for several hours before...
Wow, that sounds similar to what we do! We've always drawn until we could play something. Makes the game more challenging but then...it takes longer. And you might end up with so many cards that they look like a book.It was kinda like that for my family, except I don’t think it took nearly that long. Now we play by the actual rules.

One family gathering that I wasn’t attending, one of my cousin’s friends was on the receiving end of a draw 4 chain. It gets pretty competitive.Wow, that sounds similar to what we do!

Yes, of course@DragonFox91
Since this came up in another thread I thought I’d ask.
Pics and posts on social media with a significant other?
I limit media to a spouse or fiancé. I hope he’s photogenic.
Ugh, I'm horrible at that.Spicy UNO, now there’s a game that challenges your reflexes.
Okay!I was busy doing other things. You should learn. I’ve heard its fun!
Hmm......What instrument resonates when you hear classical or jazz? That may give you insight.
I love watching sports, but golf is basically the only one I don't watch that I play.Yes. That’s the one activity I want to share with my partner along with horses.
If you attend a live golf tournament you miss a lot of play. You sit at the hole and watch the groups come through or follow your favorite. You see more on television.
A dude ranch? What's that?I’ve wanted a horse since childhood. It perplexed my parents. They didn’t understand my fascination. Having a pair will do.
My father loved horse racing. I got into it by watching The Derby. One time was all it took. I saw The Preakness and Belmont Stakes and never looked back. I’ve wanted to get into polo. It looks interesting and a little dangerous.
Yes! Then you can visit a dude ranch.
No, he is.Perhaps.
I went to a very secular college. Culture in general is very secular. If I wasn't a believer, I'm not gonna say it'd be easier, but there'd be a tad more options. At least we know what we're looking for, so that's good, or I at least have an idea of what I think I'm looking for, & you're more confident in what you're looking for.Sometimes it seems like I’m giving up a lot to have a believer. My life doesn’t revolve around church, end times, and so on. Many are focused on tomorrow and they’ve forgotten how to enjoy their lives.
Ugh, I really, really need to go to the gym but twas a blizzard last night & this morning. Really, really need to go after work today!!
Yes, of courseWhy not?
I like doing weights at gym. Cardio, I don't do at gym. I like doing that outside. It's something to enjoy outside. On trails. Biking & running. If bad weather, I'll just wait for that to be over. Lucky we've had a warm winter.Have you considered an indoor bike for bad weather days?
I'm not as shy as I used to be.Some like it. Some don’t.
Are you sure you’re shy?
Sampa how u been?Such a good song I heard on the radio coming home from work by Jordan Feliz, next to me. The lyrics resonate with me.
I've been empty
When I'm low, you fill the cup, yeah
But my ego fights back telling me that
I'm ready to grab the wheel and take control
But I'll crash if I don't let myself let go
You put the "X" on my faded map
Draw me a line back to where you're at
Patient when I try to move too fast
I get this feeling
I get this feeling
I get this feeling in my spirit when I'm low
I hear it calling like a compass to my soul
Saying, child, come on back now
You've been gone too long
Let me lead you back where you belong
Right next to me (me, me-me, me)
Right next to me (me, me-me, me)
I've been captive by the plans I tried to make, yeah
I've been selfish
'Cause callous heart they die hard like habits
That I know I gotta break
Ain't it good to know that help is on the way? (Help is on the way)
You put the "X"on my faded map
Draw me a line back to where you're at
Patient when I try to move too fast
I get this feeling
I get this feeling
I get this feeling in my spirit when I'm low
I hear it calling like a compass to my soul
Saying, child, come on back now
You've been gone too long
Let me lead you back where you belong
Right next to me, oh, oh-oh
You know I tried to do it on my own (on my own)
Oh, oh-oh
You say it's time for me to come back home
Right next to me (me, me-me, me)
I get this feeling in my spirit when I'm low
I hear it calling like a compass to my soul
Saying, child, come on back now
You've been gone too long
Let me lead you back where you belong
I get this feeling in my spirit when I'm low
I hear it calling like a compass to my soul
Saying, child, come on back now
You've been gone too long (back where you belong now)
Let me lead you back where you belong
Right next to me (me, me-me, me)
Right next to me (me, me-me, me)

I’ve been listening to violin a lot lately. When lockdowns are over, maybe I can take some lessons?
I love watching sports, but golf is basically the only one I don't watch that I play.
I'd love to join a league, but I don't think I'm quite good enough yet. I want to get just a bit more consistent first.
A dude ranch? What's that?
Then I can be a cowboy.I want to ride down trails. That's what my dad did. My sister participated in horse shows. My dad always thought she'd get one as an adult, but she never did, or hasn't yet. Maybe in a twist, I'll be the one to.
I went to a very secular college. Culture in general is very secular. If I wasn't a believer, I'm not gonna say it'd be easier, but there'd be a tad more options.
At least we know what we're looking for, so that's good, or I at least have an idea of what I think I'm looking for, & you're more confident in what you're looking for.

I was annoyed at the blizzard b/c not sure how safe the roads were. Usually driving in bad weather doesn't bother me, but this snowfall looked particularly nasty
I'm not as shy as I used to be.
I'd like to post a pic on here sometime, as a profile pic. Haven't felt 'compelled' to, I guess, yet, tho. But I was looking on the profile page to see if you can post pictures to an album, but I didn't see any.
I have my picture everywhere else I frequent online.
Not as much as I used to. I used to run a lot more than I do now. All thru-out high school & college. But I didn't exercise other parts of my body, so I've lessened the running a lot, & focus on the rest. I'm bad, I don't run as much as the experts advise, but the rest was neglected for so long.You run too? Nice. Walking was ruining my feet so I switched to cycling. Plus it cut down my time outside.
I'm confused. I thought you were on East Coast? They get snow there! Maybe you're in NC or SC?We haven’t had snow like this in ages. I don’t miss it! Driving in bad weather is difficult. So I’ve heard.
Aww, thank you. That's very nice.It comes through your writing. You seem likable and laid back. I don’t get a nerdy or geeky vibe either.
There's really no reason I can't put it in album right now.Do it when you’re ready. You can create an album and share the contents publicly or privately.
I do in some places. Mainly work related. Sometimes I prefer anonymity to test ideas or get a read on certain subjects.
Good idea. The violin is soothing. The Suzuki method is easy. They have schools in most places.
I grew up watching my dad and grandfather. I saw Jack, Arnold, and Tiger in his early days.
I've been golfing a long time. I seem to be stuck at the level I'm at. I go w/ my brother. We try to go once a week during the summer. I'll see if he's interested in joining a league. He's at the same level I'm at. I tell him I'd like to join a league but want to get more consistent.There are leagues for every level and you’ll progress swiftly. I think you should try it.
I want to be a cowboy!A cowboy getaway.
It is. I know it is. It's just sitting dormant or isn't very strong in me like my sister, parents, their parents, their parents parents.Maybe its in your blood.
That, & I don't think I could have a horse in my backyard!Sweet! What did she do? They’re a lot of work. You need to board them or hire someone to look after them if you can’t. Mucking out stalls is meant to be delegated!
That's what going to a secular college did to me. I had wanted to go to a Christian college. There are a few in my city. But I guess God had other plans for me.So did I. My parents didn’t segregate us. I didn’t go to bible study, vacation bible school, or youth groups. I grew up around people with different beliefs. It made me adaptable and able to navigate different settings.
I know you would.If I wasn’t a believer I’d be settled now. No doubt.
True. But I’m looking for more than agape. I don’t need to marry to have that. There must be eros too. Love and romance are important and I don’t agree with the notion that it fades over time. Maybe it isn’t a priority for some or they didn’t connect with a partner who desires the same.
But we’ve gotta be head over heels and committed to stoking the flame throughout the union.
