The Cappucino Corral

[Luddly Neddite]

Good Morning, All. I don't have to go out this morning so lounging around in my robe and drinking coffee. I'll leave the cold outside for now.

Sounds perfect and that's what it looks like at my house too.

The pelicans have left the lake but yesterday, I saw a flock of Snow geese and a couple of eagles.

Nice.

And really nice that the weather has warmed up a bit.

Looks like 53 and steady rain on Suinday for Buffalo, NY. When all that melts, there is going to be some serious flooding. Those poor people. The Bills are going to be sad too playing in the rain and leftover snow.

Good morning everyone! Happy Friday! Does anybody have any fun plans for the weekend? I am going to a board game tourny at best friend's house tomorrow. It starts at 10am. Mimosas and games! I am hoping to walking away with the most wins but I expect stiff competition.

Gotta say - you really know how to live.

What board games do you play?

Thanks mate. My friends and I know how to have a good time.

We play all sorts of games from easy and carefree to difficult and immersive. My new favorites are Galaxy Trucker, Risk Legacy, Small World, and Lords of Water Deep. I kid you not, we have about 5k worth of board games in this house. If included PC and console games that number would skyrocket. lol.

Saturday is our Christmas Bunco Party. I play Bunco every month with 11 gals from my neighborhood. We take turns hosting it and the hostess prepares dinner for everyone. At Christmas we invite the husbands, and everyone brings a dish. We usually have the Xmas one in early December but this year the hostess couldn't fit it in her calendar. We usually skip November due to Thanksgiving. We also each bring a gift to do a Chinese Gift exchange....which turns out to be hilarious, sometimes.

Who has started Christmas shopping? I bought one of those Cobra JumPacks for Mom. I'm going to buy her a new wireless doorbell that can add motion detectors, window and door alerts and even a camera. Those two gifts should make her feel safer.

My Brother and Sister-in-law tore up their wall to wall carpeting and exposed beautiful hardwood floor. They are getting a new area rug. My girlfriend likes homemade stuff, so I'll make her some Reindeer noses (little square pretzels topped with a Rollo (chocolate and caramel) with a roasted pecan on top. Assemble them, put them in a 325 oven for five minutes until the chocolate is soft and apply pressure to the pecan so everything mushes down into the pretzel. She also gets some pieces of World Famous Fiestaware china from the factory outlet store (it's right here in my hometown).

My dog Daisy the Mutt will get a 'stocking' full of dog toys because the number of dog toys she has now is still insufficient even though she has dozens of toys.

But Black Friday is a week from tomorrow. My intention is to be finished with Christmas shopping before that.

You get all the nice stuff for your GF and Daisy but your dear old Mom has to make do with utilitarian tools, doorbells and a security system?

Wouldn't surprise me if she hijacks your GF's candies and tells you to give her the Cobra JumPack instead!

We're talking about an 81 year old widow still living inthe Big House all alone. If Hand Wringing in anxiety were an Olympic sport, Mom would be the Michael Phelps of that event (without the bong action of course!)

I think you just solved your problem of what to get your Mom for Christmas!

A different one for every room in the Big House!

Mom would have to know if these bongs are dishwasher safe, made without PVC and if they are breakable, and if so do they shatter into shards or safe, wee pieces.

And only organically grown mary-jane?

I thought I read/saw on TV that they had rescheduled the game at another site?

The only game our family plays when we get together is cards against humanity.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

An old favorite game of mine is Pictionary but haven't played any games in years.

I used to love playing Uno with my grand daughters. Much hooting and hollering and giggling.

Both are fun games

She would not be so concerned about organically grown as much as the nation of origin. If it's Northern California Sensimillia harvested from the East Slope of the mountains just before the rainy season, she might accept it. But any imports from Mexico? Fuggedaboudit!

That sounds super fun! I absolutely love Bunco, we used to play all the time several years ago and as kids. I completely forgot it to be honest and I think you just inspired me to play tomorrow. You have no idea how excited you just made me. Cheers!

I'll never forget one of the times we played Pictionary, my husband, poor guy, can't draw anything was on my team.....we were so upset cause he was having such a hard time with it, he kept starting to draw something, then he would erase it, till finally he ran out of time.....we almost clobbered him when we found out the object he had to draw was a "fish"! On the other team, one of my sons, who is a graphic artist, would take up too much time because he would try to include too much detail! One of our favorite games is Balderdash and Mexican Train.

That is not a game for the weak of heart or the easily offended. It is a riot. The first time we played we were laughing so hard our neighbors came by to see what the fuss was all about and ended up playing with us for the rest of the night. Good times.

It's really popular here in Texas. I've lived in several other states and nobody ever mentioned Bunco. I was one of the original players in this club I'm in now, then left it for a while, and came back to it about 4 years ago....only two of the original players are still members....and of course, now me. I very seldom win....but last month I won most Buncos...that's the biggest prize, $20 bucks.

I am usually the quiet introvert and so when we played it, it was especially funny because everyone kept picking my answers which were.....well you know.....offensive

Uno is a packaged game based on a card game called "Blackjack" (which is completely unrelated to casino "21" Blackjack). I learned it in England about 35 years ago, stayed up all night playing it with some newfound friends, and when I came back to the States started passing it around to older friends. Not long after that, Uno came out as a package.

"Blackjack" is the same game except the original has a very interesting twist -- when one particular card is thrown (I think it was a red Jack but pick one), everybody has to pass their entire hand to the next player. This can completely upset strategies and positioning, especially if somebody was down to one or two cards -- plus you now know what the next player has in his hand, as does the previous player know what's in yours. Gives a whole new surprise factor.

another blustery day @ here but I can't complain given what Buffalo is going through!!!

 

[Mertex]

It is pouring down rain here. We have been awaiting it, it was forecast....but more rain is in the forecast for tomorrow, too. Hope this will help our aquifers.....especially the one that feeds my well......

Hope it does too.

I just got done cleaning and decking the halls. It looks pretty actually. Now for the shopping part...

 

[Derideo_Te]

Wow! That is pretty long.........and I don't believe you! - maybe the rock and roll, and the sex.......

There is a picture of me when I was still growing my hair and it was longer than yours in that picture.

I already did in the thread for pictures of yourself.
