I went shopping and it really sucked. Everything was either out of stock or too expensive or you couldn't get to it because they had immense piles of stuff wrapped in plastic for Friday. It was quite busy, even at our little local pharmacy. I almost wish i never went but i did manage to buy the rest of the stuff i needed for my solar water heater! So hopefully i can finish that tomorrow.

Haha, right. @Alaskan @N F C

Game played on a table with a board as shown. Either 2 players or 4 in teams.

"Crokinole (/ˈkroʊkɪnoʊl/ KROH-ki-nohl) is a dexterity board game similar in various ways to pitchnut, carrom, marbles, and shove ha'penny, with elements of shuffleboard and curling reduced to table-top size. Players take turns shooting discs across the circular playing surface, trying to have their discs land in the higher-scoring regions of the board, while also attempting to knock away opposing discs."

I am not from where you are from.

Lovely @FridayYet

I dislike busy shopping too @CapricornFarm , and it's only getting worse now that I'm rural!

Well, that's the Wikipedia explanation. I have no idea what those are either!

But actually @Alaskan you're right! It's more of a regional game; which is nice. It was always a favorite tradition of mine. I have a board myself but haven't played in years. Maybe I'll get it out this weekend...



Oh ya, I forgot I was half American so I suppose I could celebrate Thanksgiving too. But I think once is enough!

I grew up playing dominoes. double twelves, and most domino players play with double sixes. Makes we wonder where people play double twelve.

That's big in our family too, we've got a set of double 15s
