Christine, lucky guess on the word "Canasta". I know I couldn't make anyone believe it now, but correct spelling and usage really wasn't that much of a problem way back when. I used to have this perfectionist attitude towards everything; used to drive one of my past employers nuts. "Oh, don't worry about what it looks like, people come here to eat, not look at a fancy looking plate." Took me a long time not to care so much about many things, although, . . . no, maybe I better not go there. Seeings how grammer and spelling weren't really important in the jobs I've done in the past, I just sort of lost all the rules to forgetfulness and laziness. But then again, I never was much of a reader either. I don't know if the 1rst or 2nd edition Risk game is valuable or not, but considering I haven't seen one in a flea market or antique shop, they've either got to be rare, or nobody thinks they are worth anything. Gee, wouldn't it be nice if someone who knew something about antiques would comment on this. I mean, its not like I . . . well if someone knows, please speak up. So did you make any New Year's resolutions? I gave up on trying to quit smoking a long time ago. Guess I'll just let all those upper crust taxpayers pay for my eventual healthcare seeings how they are determined to tax my habit all to hell!! Just blow'in smoke. <ggg>
