  Does your partner or friend just hate you when you are glue to the monitor, no commucation, no love, no work done around the house, your spouse can't play chess ? Not to worry turn the tv off (sent the chidren out heheh)  grab a pack of cards and some nice wine (if it evening) go to my blog  and learn and play a well known card game called Gin Rummy.

Any chance of adding a few illustrations to your blog?

We play Rummikub at home: a form of Gin Rummy using tiles rather than playing cards. It takes up less space.

Try it: you might just like it.

Google Images. Search for "Gin Rummy". Right click. Copy image URL.

Using the Insert an image tool button (the one that resembles a tree), specify the URL.

Incidentally, the actual blue used on the tiles is confusingly similar to black; I'm going to have to paint an extra discriminator on either the blue or black tiles.

It helps to say "uh, huh" and "yeah...OK" every now and then when they are talking.

This is a survival skill that is required in these computerized times!
