I dont do poker but have done 21 at home, or at a casino. Of course Im nt good at it.
Payphones? Im not sure there are any around here but the nearest one, if we have one nearby, would be probably a half mile away at the convenience store.
Depending on what channel Im watching, our highs today are supposed to hit 49 degrees.
Have a good Tuesday everyone!

I would guess it was sometime in the late 80's, BCP (Before Cell Phones)

I can't remember.

How far from your house is the nearest pay phone ? No idea. Maybe a gas station would have one. In that case, the nearest one would be 7 miles away.
When was the last time you used a pay phone? The last time I remember was in the late '80s. I had taken my class to Boston & the bus driver got lost on the way home. We stopped so I could call a parent to let the rest know we'd be over an hour late getting home.

Off to my Tuesday 8AM staff meeting. Have a great day!
Have you been to the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican?
No, but if I still flew it might be a place I'd like to visit.
Have you ever attended a concert at the Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco?
Never been to San Francisco although I've been to California a number of times.
Extra Credit Question:
Do you play poker ?
Sort of.
If yes, where do you usually play ?
I play Bejeweled 3 poker on my PC (no opponent). It's not played with cards. I have played poker in the past, though, with friends.
How confident are you that you do (or could) keep a poker face if you have a great hand of cards?
My non-poker uncontrolled expression is rolling my eyes when someone is saying something inane...or so I've been told. Other than that one, I'm pretty sure I could keep a poker face in a card game.
Bonus Question:
How far from your house is the nearest pay phone ?
No idea. I don't believe I've ever seen one in this town I live in.
When was the last time you used a pay phone?
Has to be more than 10 years ago.
