I'm in a nursing home for a little while. Ran into a guy who liked to play cribbage

[captain queeg]

Which seems a little less common nowadays. I’d never heard of it till I moved out west then it seemed like everyone I met played. Anyways I haven’t played much in years so it’s been a nice break in the boredom.

1. I'm so sorry you need to be in a nursing home for a while. But it's good that you found someone

to play cribbage with.

Hope you'll be back home soon.

2. I love cribbage! I have a cribbage board in my car in case

I ever come across someone who plays.

3. Read a prior post of yours. But didn't reply. Now I do.

You're in my heart.

Believing for your wellness and wholeness in whatever form that takes. Quickly and completely.

4. We play it

Especially when our young adult sons come into town. It’s a game we all enjoy.

Hope you get better soon!

Still play a game of Swiveller's Cribbage against the computer most every day.

12. Thank you for mentioning on-line cribbage!

I just took time out to find it and added it to my game list. Call me a happy camper!

6. My grandfather used to play it.

He taught us when we were kids, and then gave us a handmade cribbage board. (He was a carpenter.) But we were too young, and didn't remember the rules.

I wonder where that board got to.

7. it used to be really big awhile back. my oldest sis was heavy into it . tried to

teach me it but no joy.

8. He wasn't a submarine sailor in the Navy, by any chance?

Cribbage is a tradition in the submarine service.

13. That's where I learned the game

In addition to cribbage, there were some devotees of bridge, but I preferred plain old spades. I never found anyone interested in cribbage after my discharge.

14. That hasn't come up but I've worked with ex nukes which I think all sins are nowadays)

And they seeem to be a higher caliber than your run of the mill dallor. Just my opininion. At any rate I doubt this guy was a nuke he’s no. Dummy but seemslike a regular who just worked-to feed his familiy.

9. Hope your stay isn't permanent.

My now deceased wife told me to let her Mom win the first time we played cribbage with her parents.
Guess I wasn't a good listener because her mom picked the board up and threw it across the room.

15. I play chess online.

@ Chess.com. Never played competitively but I do play the bots there and occasionally my son will send me a challenge.

16. I almost ended up in nursing home myself

almost two years ago. I couldn’t go home from the hospital by myself but my ex swooped in and rescued me for a few months.

Not a cribbage player though. I found some other on line card games like spades, poker, etc. to get me through while I was in the hospital rehab.

Hope your stay is short and sweet.

17. First, I hope you are doing better and better each day

Second, I played cribbage with my Mom from the time I was a little kid. I have a few beautiful boards, including a hand-hewn one with a live tree edge.
A neighboring exhibitor at a recent artisan show had a bunch of handmade boards in different shapes, including a guitar and different animals. Pretty cool.

Enjoy this portable game!

18. In the past few months we taught our grandson how to play cribbage and backgammon.

Now we feel we have done our duty as grandparents and prepared him for the world.

Hope you are able to go home soon. Glad you found a time filler and a gamer friend.
