Live trapped an eight inch dust bunny in my house. Decided to release it into the wild. Neutered it first so no worries.
So this was a thing I guess

It's called...getting older.
I thought most toasters had ONLY these two settings...nothing in-between.
Euchre was the game on my mom's side of the family (North central Indiana), gin rummy on my dad's side. They tried to teach me Euchre when I was old enough to learn...I just wasn't interested. It wasn't until a college trip in a 15-person van at the age of 20 that I decided to learn. Wish I had learned sooner. (I still need refreshers every time I play)
Talked to son tonight; the in house candidate got the job. 
He's philosophical about it; they had just posted the back to school pics last week and the girls all looked so happy. I commented on that and he said yeah, they were kind of "intrigued" by the new town, but also sad about leaving the only school they've known.

My dad's side plays it, but I've never learned; it seems super complicated. But I'll probably try to learn again next time we play it.So come back after my Sconnie weekend (it was five stars, for sure!) to find that I, like @BCClone, am getting CNE's alerts.
After lunch I finally logged in and am back to normal. Well, as normal as RTT gets, anyway.
Had a fabulous fish fry Friday night, great retirement party for my brother on Saturday, even got to play some sheepshead. (Wondering if @WooClone15 or @cowgirl836 or @stormchaser2014 know how to play it.)
Also, thank you so much for bringing it up, because we don't call it sheep's head in my family; we call it Schopskopp and my dad and his siblings (and I think my Grandpa) always heard the name means sheepshead in German. The problem is it doesn't; "sheepshead" in German is "Schafkopf," and I could never figure why there's that difference. It wasn't until you posted this that it hit me: my ancestors probably spoke low German, and "sheepshead" in low German is Schopskopp.
TLDR: thank you for helping to solve a family mystery
Now that I'm thinking about it, depending on the situation, it might actually be close to a deal breaker for me. It would be different if I got married to someone and they later developed allergies, but if I was on a first date and learned my date never wanted pets and they weren't amazing in every other way I'd probably consider looking for someone else.
I absolutely love Euchre and we play it a lot on my dad's side. Do you guys play to 15 or 12? Because we always played to 15 and I like that better, but a lot of people I've met play to 12
Damnit, if RTT ever has a get-together, we're doing a refresher course on just what bowers are and then WE ARE PLAYING SOME EUCHRE!
95% in my first MBA class! Now to remember what hobbies are like for the next 10 weeks.
Go ahead. I’ll just sit here with beverage in hand and post on CF. If I’m invited, that is. Not really a card player except for solitaire. Yep, that’s pretty much it. Had a grandpa and grandma who tried to teach us kids how to play pitch. I sucked at it and they got frustrated.

IndyCar at Pocono is just stupid. Cars are way too fast and the wrecks are insanely dangerous, shown in this crash and Justin Wilson’s fatal crash
Remembe playing euchre once. Is it like 500?used to play 500 in a couples card club thingy, no keys involved. People hated the way I played because I don’t like to conform so everything is unorthodox with me.
Ding ding. Grandma/Mom/aunt were all fluent in low German at one point so that they were able to speak to my great-grandparents. My mom, and probably my aunt, have lost a lot since I'd only hear them speak it with my grandmother when they didn't want the grandchildren to hear/understand what they were saying.
If you didn't know...
Low German - spoke in northern Germany
High German - spoke in southern Germany, and what is taught as German here in the US
I remember liking 500, but I can't for the life of me remember how to play it.
Cool! Think it's Mackenzie. She was a really good player. Had an injury Sr year.
