Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Anyone play card games (real not PC)? I grew up playing cards with my grandmother and family. I think I was in third grade when I advanced from crazy 8 to rummie. I love but haven’t played much in my adult years. After a small kitchen remodel, removing the bar and adding a table, hubby and I have started playing when he’s off. It’s great quality time together. I’m getting like my grandmother when I can’t sleep I play solitaire at the table. It’s so different than playing on my phone. It’s time consuming because you don’t have the speed of digital games. Hopefully I don’t start playing gin rummy with myself like she did🤣
Sounds like a fun grandma. Might be an option later to play with friends. My parents used to get together with friends to play cards. I believe old ways like this would great if they made a comeback. We have become secluded individuals. My husband isn’t available much at home. He’s here but goes to bed between 6-7 because he gets up at 2:30 to go to work. Cards or other games are good time for us together. He’s teaching me to play poker. I told him I wanted to learn but it’s boring. Might be better with more people. We play games and cards with my daughter and son in law when time allows.
Definitely better with more people. Youll figure it out.
Smart bridge club grandmas would be more awake to the awakening then most realize I reckon.
Yes!
A deck of cards can lead to many wonderful games, together or solo.
