    When our kids were young we had no problem. We even cut off the tv and still had no problems. We did play cards a lot (usually after homework) and various games when we could not be outside. Now that our kids have grown into adults my wife and still play games, albeit a different style of game... No youngsters allowed.

    We (the kids n I) we're playing hide n seek outside, which turned into pinecone war from opposite sides of the woodpile...I bent down to pick up more ammo and the back of my jeans blew completely out...I mean like a foot long rip...I guess I lost since I sustained damage...:rofl: :lol:

    I would have guessed you were getting hit in the head with something much harder than pine cones when you were a kid!! :cool:

    Adam Corolla said it best in an interview last week. Use the prison mindset. You can do the time, or the time can do you. Find a way to enrich yourself and come away a better person.
    Or, end up with a face tattoo and a toilet filled with homemade wine.

    I hate needles and wine...guess it's enrichment for me...woo hoo!

    Actually, I have been watching lots of informative/ sustainment type vids, have started getting the garden supplies (even though it's early), even searched for groundhog recipes just in case.. Consider me enriched!
