Welcome to one of the many board games that "our gang" loves to play.  If you want to get into some more just follow the activity from my profile page.  I usually visit most of the games several times a day.

I'll try to send you a comment with a list of the games that we play regularly.  If you want to hang out with us--come along we love the company ;+)  The more the merrier!  ~Gigi  

1. I was 32 when I married for the first time. I've since sworn off marriage as a bad habit.
2. My back still hurts. d;-)
3. The nerves in my right knee are all messed up from a gunshot wound, and if I touch the bottom of my kneecap it feels like I'm touching it at the top.
4. The last time I attended church (other than weddings or funerals) was August 7th 1977. (My 16th birthday)
5. I've owned 25 guitars/basses, 13 of which I still have.

I'm sorry your back still hurts ;+/  Is it from all that bathroom remodeling you are doing?

Here's wishing you better days.  ~Gigi 

Thanks Gigi. The remodeling is a contributing factor, but I've lived with back pain since '83 (see #5 of my first 5 facts on page 1 of this thread). It comes and goes. Right now it's kinda at the medium pain level and I don't see it diminishing until I'm done with the bathroom. So, when I say "My back hurts" or "My back still hurts" it's kinda like a running gag, joke kinda thing.

Gotcha, well I know you'll be glad when the bathrooms are done. 

Thanks for being such a wonderful contributors to our boardgames.  I love your use of sarcasm.  Although, I must admit that if I were in your presence I would probably be brought to tears 'cause I don't handle sarcasm very well.  But here at Viewpoints I think it is hilarious ;+) 

1. I've had Celiac Disease for 6 years now. Celiac Disease is also known as gluten intolerance. I stay away from foods with wheat, rye, barley, and oats in it.
2. I have partial hearing loss in my right ear due to the flu virus that I had a few years ago.
3. I was injured in the hospital with an IV needle over 2 years ago.
4. I have permanent nerve damage in my left foot from the IV needle (see #3).
5. I have been battling chronic pain since the IV needle incident. I found out a year and half ago that the chronic pain was actually Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.

Five reasons WHY I love Viewpoints:

1. My cyber friends and twins
2. The board games and slumber party
3. Reading your reviews and blogs,  commenting, voting, etc.
4. Reading comments that are sent to me or that others place on your reviews and profile
5. This place is just tons of fun and I am glad to be a part of it all ;+) 

Thanks for the welcome! I am new to viewpoints, but most definitely not new to message boards! I will have to check out some more of the games and such....
(as if I need more of an excuse to be at the computer longer ;-) )

welcome to this board moviebuff--I haven't seen you around.  You did just fine.  Some of our board games have more rigid "rules" to keep the game flowing smoothly but this is "come as you are" and share what you want.  We just keep returning each time we want to post five more facts.  Sometimes we will do a theme: like favorite movies and other times we may just say 5 random statements.

Back to the game:

1. I didn't eat meat for 12 years and when I decided to "try" something the first thing I ate was a hotdog.

3. I have never had a drink (beer, liquor, that sort of stuff), never smoked and never took an illegal drug.
4. Twice engaged (different guys) and I called the wedding off both times.  Not sure if it is going to be: Third time's a charm or three strikes you're out, hmmm...
5.   I have a fear of social gatherings that center around food. 

1. My favorite soda is Pepsi.
2. "Gone with the Wind" is my favorite all time classic movie.
3. My favorite colors are pink, blue, and purple.
4. Janette Oke and Linda Lael Miller are my favorite authors.
5. My favorite country singer is Carrie Underwood.

3. My favorite colors change depending on my mood or the season.  Right now I love red and black--good colors for winter wardrobe.
4. I also love Janette Oke (all the Love Comes Softly books).  I also like Danielle Steel, Jodi Picoult and Beverly Lewis.
5. I prefer to listen to southern gospel music; especially the Gaithers and Homecoming friends but I do have some favorite country music artist: Toby Keith, Kenny Chesney, Faith Hill, Shania Twain and Pam Tillis.
