Good Morning!

nice to read your message @Historylover I wouldnt have a clue re Rummy .. 2 packs ? after that, forget it..

Never heard of 'How green was my cactus' @TAB looks interesting. Was uber busy from 1986 to 2015, kids, study work and renos. Very little time to listen or keep up with news... maybe thats why I like to post about it a bit nowadays.

I think we had this conversation 4 weeks ago tbh @Appleblossom it used to be on breakfast radio, not sure if wasnt something to do with animation they had every night on ABC current affairs when they had Doyle and clarke or whatever that was

Great to get your post @Historylover

I like cards and board games. Glad you had some fun today.

Yeah tokens probably wiser not real dosh.

My son found a couple who love poker ... but last week we went ... but it was mostly laughing about Wii ... and how bad mum is at any computer games ...lol... but they also like and respect me ... so all good.

It helped airing that scenario ... here and in a text ... am gonna deal with it without involving my son, cos it has already stressed him out enough and really should not have any more negative impact on his life. Its not a bad thing .... just interesting after all these years and all the issues ... huge ... ex took her to supreme court! Protective Services ran a mile. Hmmm. In many ways she is more mature than the ex.

Its been a weird sorting through things day, but good. 2 other scenarios had been challenging but good communication from individuals have smoothed out things. Think this is my learning year about personalities as well as socialising.... and better cooking ... and and and ... always something new to learn.

.. @Clawde saw you 'behind the button' .. hope things not to bad for you atm

@Appleblossom, will have to post later.

Morning @Historylover @TAB @Appleblossom and everyone else.

with 2 weeks left before I move the panics have started, especially after meeting with conveyancers on Friday which has led me to going quiet for few days. In my mind I had worked out a plan which I was comfy with, yesterday somethings changed and this morning head is in a spin

Yesterday conveyancers confirmed settlement for my current home will be 9:30am 3 October. Furniture removalists now coming on 2 October with my furniture to be placed in garage of my new home. Only good thing is I can do last walk through/clean after furniture is moved. So many other things impacted also.

Am hoping can get keys to my new place mid morning on 3 October and handyman can come that same day to install curtain tracks etc so can bring cats home from cattery on 3 october

Sounds like a Plan @Former-Member hope it all goes okay for you

It's a great game, @TAB, played with 2 or 3

, I think. But it's Rummy, not Gin Rummy which I think is a card game. This one requires players to combine tiles in different combinations until one player wins by clearing all their tiles. Perhaps there is an online version to learn by, but it's better socially, of course.

@Former-Member Good luck with it all .. moving ... puts things and heads in a spin.
