Thank you :)


Yes, and making sure there is no objectionable content in videos is also a must... I like posting ones that are interesting but even one exposed breast or one piece of profanity is enough for me to opt for the very boring vid of a still picture instead LOLOLOLOLOLOL

I as a former Admin over moderators understand completely.
And it's difficult to explain all the "why's" to someone not from America all the taboos of a Christian forum. (We have so many in our society)

The closer someone lives to the equator the more difficult it gets..."no that much leg showing is inappropriate"...."you can't say that because it's offensive to those from the UK, Japan, Koreans or Phillipino "

The list is extensive and usually aimed to those from OZ who feel like they can't say anything. LoL...

Oh well....past life I really don't want to return to.

Actually, I don't always find time for both :confused: sometimes I neglect/avoid doing things and "escape"....... ;)
but now that we're homeschooling, my "escape" time will be less come fall.....

I tried homeschooling...and when the easy way didn't work I tried using a more manual method of putting the contents of a book into my son's head....(he is hard headed though)

But it was decided that professional teaching was a gift and I let them do it instead. My son decided that he liked school more than having dad teach him....the choice of him trying not learning never came up again.

awww... no ones tossing stones to ya over it. (and I'm sorry if anyone, myself included, made you feel that way)

Some of us tease about it, but there are enough threads that are about all the world issues, I think the current "regulars" here just like a place of escape (this is just GG's observations and opinions........ I think it kinda started once when a site newbie came in here trying to get a traditional BDF "fight" started)

Euchre is a card game that we were not allowed to play in my family of origin until we became teenagers, so it is a bit of a serious game that requires some skill and strategy. I am not familiar with the card game Patience... Euchre is played in two teams of two, with a 24 card deck, nines to aces only. Each person is dealt five cards and the dealer turns up the top card of the four left over (this is the kitty) and in turn each gets to vote on whether they want that suit trump. If someone orders it up, or if the dealer calls that suit trump, the dealer picks that card up and puts it in their hand, then discards another card face down into the kitty, at which point the game commences with the first to the left of the dealer playing a card which everyone has to follow suit if they have that suit, otherwise, you sluff or trump. Trump nine will beat an ace of any other suit.

If nobody calls trump on that first card/suit turned up, it is turned down and then once again everyone gets a chance to call trump... haha that is, you will get another chance if everyone else before you passes. Sometimes you will have a killer hand if only you can call trump, but someone else makes something else trump before you get a chance, and then your cards are maybe rendered useless unless you have an ace or happen to have a very high or even the top trump card. Even an ace is no guarantee of being able to take a trick because it could be trumped. Each team, if one of them calls trump, must win 3/5 of the tricks to win the hand, worth one point. If you get all five tricks you win 2 points. The person calling trump has the option to play alone and in that case if you win all five tricks, you gain 4 points. The games are about 15 minutes long if played to the standard ten points, but the site allows for variations on this.

There is something else that has a tendency to trip people up when learning this game because Aces are not the high cards in trump! If a red suit is made trump, the two red Jacks are the top two cards, and the same for black if a black suit is made trump. They are called Bowers, right and left. The right bower is the suit called trump, and the other red or black Jack is the left bower. So if you have both of those and a third trump you are guaranteed two and probably three tricks, three especially if you get the lead early and can "call out" the trump in your opponent's hands. But you can call and win a hand with no bowers in your hand, because three trumps is more than anyone else is likely to have, and then it becomes a matter of how the cards are split, and who has the bowers. In the case of having neither bower when you call trump. it is of course very helpful if your partner has one and/or can take a trick some other way, but it also helps if you have an off-suit ace in your hand (again, no guarantee of a trick if it gets trumped before you can snag the lead), OR if you have only one other suit in your hand, as this may give you more opportunity to trump the opponents' lead.

TMI? :LOL: Haha, yes, it is a nice respite once in a while throughout the day :D

I played Euchre briefly many years ago. Only thing I seem to remember is that you don't use the entire deck and the jacks are called left or right bowers. I think that the right bower is a jack of the trump suit or something like that. Played some Hearts while in the army but don't remember anything about that card game.

I am seeing a great increase of Spirit being poured out on His Own recently, yet among them are wolves. A private forum cleans up a lot of that. CC is as welcoming as Jesus from what I see, and quite gracious in governing. Granted we have gotten a share of un-peace filled people and will continue to strength His Own in these last of the last days.
bless you
