: Absinthe is traditionally measured into a glass, a slotted spoon is set across the rim, a sugar cube is laid across the spoon and ice water is dripped onto the sugar cube and into the absinthe.

The whole mixture turns milky green and is delicious. Never take a shot of Absinthe, it just isn't good that way.

: Texas Hold 'Em is poker. But you get to bet each time a new card is dealt. I love Yatzee. I've not played Monopoly much, is it a game of strategy where you try to get all the money, or go for the kill and wipe everybody out? Uno is like that.

: I wish there was a way we could actually play Texas Hold 'Em online without joining some gambling site.

@ Duane @ Frieda @ FabulousViolet : OK, Weldon says that after the movies, he'll set up a Texas Hold 'Em game in our Yurt. He'll host the 'expert table' and I'll host the 'beginner's table.' Of course, we'll all sit on the beds and/or the floor. I'll provide beer, honey roasted peanuts and black licorice all-sorts.

.. I have pillows that cover the ground in my yurt so no one has to sit on the ground it's a lot more comfortable we can set up a few tables in my yurt so everyone come play

I am all for some games of poker after the movies. Don't care whose yurt it is. Someone will have to help me remember how to play.

if you get any Aces or Kings u pass them to me lol

Will do that. Is it the game that you need the lowest cards to win??

sure bringing up some awesome memories of when my children were young :D makes me feel warm an fuzzy inside we used to have a night set aside once a week when we played a board game ....... no exceptions allowed it was awesome had a blast with kids :D our son always loved monopoly an our daughter loved to do memory games so we bought a game called hamburgers lol < she also loved food> sure would love to visit used to knit an crochet at one time I so suck at playing poker but hey I play a mean game of cribbage lol

In Hebrew we call that one (lowest points to win) Yaniv. Usually under 7 unless pros, such as my sons, they go under 65. That's fun too!

I like Texas Hold Em, though not very good. Yahtzee and Farkel I like also.

People are forgetting the 62 in your username. See above ^

I like these yurts. and fun socializing. Crocheting is fun too. Movie, drinking, popcorn, it's all good!

Thank you. It's an oldie. =) Right back at you. ❤️

I'm sorry I uh.. was I snoring and missed something? I try not to snore! Hmmmm.. more food left? You guys are the best!!

I totally missed you going to the hospital and sending you all the get well wishes I can!

: Absinthe is flavored with fennel, coriander and anise, so you will get the licorice notes, but less pronounced then in ouzo. I like different alcohol, but I know very little about mixed drinks. Though I don’t really drink a lot, I prefer dark nutty brown pub-style ale. If I’m feeling adventurous, I will share a whiskey with Welly. I’m not fond of wine, except fortified wines like port or sherry or mead. So, you see, I like robust tastes, but simple drinks. A gin martini is about as complicated as I get

I'm gonna need some coffee soon if I'm going to stay awake long enough to win a few poker games! That's pretty funny since I stink at poker but a girl can dream :)

- fluffing up a comfy spot for you in this cozy yurt...I'll bring you snacks and beverages and whatever else you need.

I had 3 procedures on my right foot big toe: bunion repair, the metatarsal was displaces so they moved it, fused and nailed it. Will be in cast for 3-4 months not sure. Surgery done this morning and came home this afternoon.

hugs Hope it's not hurting too much!

so far so good with pain meds.
