Today's Question(s): Are you fond of games? Yes! If so, what do you play most often: Online - City Data and Lumosity Board games? Sometimes Card games? Sometimes Dice/domino games? Sometimes/Not in ages Role-playing games? No Tabletop games (takes a whole tabletop to play it; Magic: The Gathering, Carcassone, etc.) No, don't think so.
What is your favorite? C-D games thread and games to improve memory and coordination in Lumosity. Have enjoyed some board games like Trivia Pursuit and Clue and Monopoly (though I hardly ever win but have fun trying).
Just for Fun: When you go to the movies, your favorite restaurant, ride public transporation, etc., do you try to sit in the same seat, or do you change it up every time you go? If it's a good seat location for special occasions maybe. On public transit, it depends whether it's the last stop or how I'm feeling at the time. One of the trains has upper deck and single seats, which is nice because then you can get up out of your seat at any time.
Bonus Question: How many times have you seen "The Wizard of Oz?" several Or have you never seen it?

Today's Question(s): Are you fond of games?....Yes, with the shorties. If so, what do you play most often:....UNO. Board games?.....Not yet. Card games?....Kings in the corner with the kids. I used to be a good poker player and I went down to Florida to visit my friends new house. I was trying to teach her and her husband how to play. I never laughed so much in my life. Her son and nephews came down and we played into the wee hours. The shorties will keep me up until 3am playing UNO as well. I want to get UNO attack. Dice/domino games?....Dominos once upon a time. Mahjong is fun and my friends from Florida taught me how to play. Role-playing games?...Only behind closed and locked doors Tabletop games (takes a whole tabletop to play it; Magic: The Gathering, Carcassone, etc.)
What is your favorite?.....Behind closed doors. No just kidding. Probably UNO with the shorties. Sometimes John plays.
Just for Fun: When you go to the movies, your favorite restaurant, ride public transporation, etc., do you try to sit in the same seat, or do you change it up every time you go?....Change seats every time. We're taking Howie to the drive in tonight.
Bonus Question: How many times have you seen "The Wizard of Oz?".....To many to remember. We saw it on the big screen at a gorgeous old movie theater. We have it on DVD. OH those flying monkeys. Or have you never seen it?

Have a great day everyone! Thanks you too. I just finished my last 6 day stretch. I'm done being a workaholic, my sanity is more important. Pray for me everyone. Changing this behavior is going to be as hard as giving up sugar!!!!

Jigsaw puzzles and casual computer games such as hidden objects, word games, adventure, match-3, mahjongg, etc. But not time-management games. The whole point is to relax and those things make me sweat!
What is your favorite?
Just for Fun: When you go to the movies, your favorite restaurant, ride public transporation, etc., do you try to sit in the same seat, or do you change it up every time you go?
I try to sit in the same general area of a theater, plane, or train. At restaurants, I try to avoid screaming children.
Bonus Question: How many times have you seen "The Wizard of Oz?" Or have you never seen it? I've seen it, but I'm not sure how many times. I used to watch it every year as a child until I got to be about 10. Since then, I've seen bits and pieces of it, especially the part where the munchkin allegedly hangs himself, which was a hoax. Because I'm morbid like that.

Just for Fun: When you go to the movies, your favorite restaurant, ride public transporation, etc., do you try to sit in the same seat, or do you change it up every time you go?I haven't been to the movies in years...although, I do usually sit in the same spot at church...and I will sit just about anyplace in a restaurant if it's away from the big booths in the corners, as they usually fill up with either noisy adults or families with kids...nothing against kids as I came from a large family, and I had 3 of my own...and I have 10 grandchildren...I just like a quieter atmosphere when I go out to eat!
Bonus Question: How many times have you seen "The Wizard of Oz?" Countless...

Have a great day everyone! And a great day to you also!
I like board and card games but haven't played either in a long, long time! My favorite board game was Monopoly. Cards would be spades (I was a mean spades player in college) and rummy. Wait -- I've played spades on the computer but it's not quite the same thing. My mother and I played a lot of board games, often on Sunday night, when I was growing up. She really liked Parcheesi and Scrabble. Ah, the pre computer days!
I use different seats. I don't go to the movies often enough to have a favorite seat and when I use public transportation I just get whatever is available. (I use a free shuttle that both tourists and locals use downtown sometimes).
