Any Solitaire Addicts Out There?

[Mikey]

My mother-in-law used to play solitaire all the time and my wife plays it all the time on her laptop.  Until about 9 months ago I seldom, if ever, played the game.  Now when I find myself bored I sit down and play a rousing game of spider solitaire on my pc.  In fact, I won't quit until I get a winner..... -Mike

OMG....I do the same thing. How funny!!! I tell myself I 'have' to play until I win.

I've never heard of Snood.  Does one have to be snippy or snappy to play snood?

My dh is so obsessed he has a laptop that he does nothing but play Solitaire on each morning.  And guess where he plays?  Sitting on the toilet!  Yep, he sits there for nearly an hour, playing away.

I am hooked on that Spades Game Teresa linked us to last Halloween.
Play it all the time.

At work all I have is Solitaire...play that when I am waiting for something to print, like a big old 36 x 90" landscape plan that takes about 15 minutes to print on the big color plotter.
 
(can't play spades at work while printing the big plans cuz it uses up too much memory and the printer times out and crashes)

I use to play solitaire on my computer when I got bored but now I play Free Cell. It's more challenging.

I've always liked solitaire!  I'm a member of pogo.com and play world class solitaire, aces up, etc.  Also play spades, canasta, jungle gin and many more to mention.  But those are my favorite.  I met my fiance online almost 7 years ago on the zone playing spades, he moved here (SD) from AL and we are moving back there in a couple months...We both have tatoos on our upper arms of a purple spade with each others names in them.  Anyone else a member of pogo or play there as a guest, if so, let me know, would love to play some games with some great ponding people!

I grew up playing lots and lots of card games . . . we kids (there were 6 of us) weren't allowed to watch any tv at all, so we played lots of cards and board games.  I love spider solitaire - used to like FreeCell, but haven't played it in a long time.

I also LOVE snood . . . they now have several other games and they are all fun too.  I paid for the codes for them all because they have really cool levels you can only get to if you pay.  Way fun.

The girls and I play chess on the computers too . . . . we have a wireless lan here and their chess software will use it and let us play between computers.  It's fun because the software will also analyze the game for us and tell us where we screwed up!

I love SPIDER. I also like to play Double Yukon, Freecell too. There is always a game waiting for you. And I thought it was a rule to play till you win!

I like spider...usually play with only 1 suit sometimes 2...never 4, I can't usually make a single move there.  I enjoy free cell also.  If I play solitaire...it is with real cards.

Enjoy Spider Solitaire as well.

I also grew up without TV Teresa. For political reasons, South Africa did not intoduce it until the mid '70s. (What a different world back then). So, it was lots of card games, Monopoly, Risk, evenings with friends etc. We didn't know any different at the time, and I am rather glad of it now - as I watch way too much these days.

Cheers,

Don't know Double Yukon . . . have to find a copy.  And it IS a rule that you play till you win, even if you are still playing at 4 in the morning.

I always play with 4 suits cuz it just seems like cheating to play with less . . . but that's my wierdness.  I've gotten so addicted to computer solitaire that laying out the cards seems like such a waste of playing time!  But I still do when I don't have a computer around.

Oh Mike!  I just hated Risk, but of course my brothers loved it.  There were 6 kids in my family, so we had to use two monopoly boards.  We'd lay both Go squares over each other and then go around the boards in a figure 8 - one we went around forwards and the other backwards.  If we didn't do that, there wasn't enough property or money or houses or hotels.  Sometimes games would last a week or more.  We also played lots of card games . . . Canasta was a big favorite and Dad had the greatest poker chips. 

My kids don't watch tv either.  It's not that I disallow it, just that they don't have time for it or always have something better to do.  The girls have become very fond of the tv series Charmed.  Since we cannot guarantee that we'll be around when it's on, I've gone and bought the DVD's and we watch it from them now.  That also allows us to watch the shows in order.  It's a good show for girls because the main characters are girls who can pretty much do anything they set their minds to do - kinda like a tv version of the Tatterhood Tales.

I love to play, but with cards--Las Vegas style, turn up one card at a time, you pay 52.00
for the deck and get 5.00 for each card you get on top. I played it like a maniac every night
 in front of the tv while I was quitting smoking, kept my hands busy.

Lurvvve Solitaire! Don't get time to play now though.

Well remember the days when I first got a computer and used to play till the early hours. LOL...just one more game and I'll go to bed.
