Immediately the clanker goes off in my head--oh, good, I thought. I can deliver my daughter a little late.

Sassy: Crapzees is what I usually play.
Kim: my teenagers actually like it, I think.
Rich: And peace be to you.
Anonymous: thanks. I'm sorry I told you you were going to hell.

#1: I didn't know. But thanks for telling me. Knowing that allowed me to make her reply personal.
I LOOOOOOOOOOVE LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOVE Yahtz-face...that's what my fave (of the 8 that I've had) brother-in-law and I used to call it! LOL! We'd play (not alone, that's incest isn't it? DIVE, you go right ahead...unless LYNN'S joining you and if so, we want PICTURES!)...anywaye we'd play for HOURS...
I even have a Texas Hold-Em version now, anyone seen that one?!
Go ahead Knuddie, knock yourself out with THAT one!

If Dive and i ever play Yahtzee i'm sure pictures will be taken and posted. lol. Maybe it won't happen because i have a mobile phone AND boobs of a womanly proportion. There may be a sign at the door prohibiting my entry.
And Lynn, I have a cell phone too, and am none too skinny, so we would both be shut out at athe door, I'm afraid. His loss, isn't it, the snob.
