Title: I'm either getting senile...
Post by Melissa on Dec 7th, 2007, 11:55am
or been on the puter too much.  I went to teach Eli how to play Go Fish and somehow it morphed into a form of rummy. :-/  I actually had to look up on Wikipedia the rules to Go Fish!!! [smiley=laugh.gif]

I'm losing my mind...

Rosy, what the heck is Continental??  LOL!

With Go Fish you have to keep all the cards in your hand and lay down same numbers in sets of 4.  I was discarding them and picking up from the pile. ::)

I suck!  LOL!

wirh continental you start with 6 cards and you have to make 2 triplets and then you have 7 cards and you have to make a triplet and a set of 4 straight (like 3,4,5,6 of the same figure) and then 8 cards and you have to make 2 sets of 4 straight and so on until you can't keep any more cards in your hand  [smiley=laugh.gif]. I bet it has another name here  ;)

Rosy, I visualized it, and can see it, but don't you end up with a ton of cards in your hand??  Sounds interesting!

well the first game is with 6 cards and the one who makes the 2 triplets first wins, you have to pick and drop cards until you get the 2 sets, then the players who could not make the sets on time have to count the cards they got and write the score, the value is like this JQKA=25 and the rest is the number value in them.
the second game is 7 cards and so on, I think you can follow until 12 cards that would be 4 straights.

Well now...  that explains it then!   ;;D

My wife used to say she was dumb as dirt till the baby was two weeks old.  Then I'd remind her that you're so sleep deprived at that point that you still can't carry on a simple conversation.  ;;D

You're bringing back memories for me Mel!

I don't think you're senile.

I just think you're goofy! ;)

Mellie, dear, it isn't senility, at least I don't think so.  

It is most definitely 3rd trimester.  I'm surprised you can even remember any version of rummy at this time, let alone Go Fish.   ;;D

It's pregnancy dear.

Brew and I have this theory that there is a finite amount of intelligence and energy in each family.  The children suck both right out of you.  By the time THEY reach adulthood you're sitting in a puddle of your own drool . . .

I'm only 2 years away from that fate (at least it'll be peaceful . . . . ).

You are such a great mum Mel, the amount of time and energy you invest in your children are amazing ! I wish I had a mum like you, senile and all  :)

You aren't senilie yet Mel.

The thing is to get a real deck of cards. You get some exercise that way. Remember cards?

Mel - my daughter used to refer to it as "Placenta Brain" when she was pregnant - then she found that each time she nursed Jakob she lost several more brain cells.  Some days it's tough to be a Mom, but you're doing a great job of it!

Hang in there - won't be much longer and all your faculties will return.

Hugs

  And there ya have it.   ::)

 I have 7 kids, so I am loonier than most here and can speak from experience.   Just today I am making cookies right?   I've only made a gazillion cookies in my life-time.

So I mix and chop and stir and roll, put them on a cookie sheet and keep looking into the oven and they're still a gloppy conconction after 30 mins. .  I forgot to turn the oven on..
