what did the insurance company say? Now that might make a good commercial- yep we covered that!!
Didn't have comp/collision on that one so it's probably a loss. It wasn't worth much really, but it ran good. Feel bad for her as she is now in that catch-22 cycle. We are letting her figure it out though. Giving a small push where needed.

Pardon.

Does anyone gamble with your family or friends? :) Like play cards or darts for money?

I'm asking because a friend of mine asked me if I knew what a Toma todo was and where he could get one.

A Toma todo is a pirinola (spinning top) like this

It's a bit tricky to use this. At first I thought it was unbalanced. But after a couple times playing "Toma todo" it got easier to spin it. We play this game with dimes or quarters. Everyone start off by betting one dime in the jackpot. Take turns spinning it to find out if you can win it all!
Pon 1 (put one)
Pon 2 (put two)
Toma 1 (take one)
Toma 2 (take two)
T. Ponen >todos ponen (everyone puts one)
T. Todo >toma todo (take it all)


I explained all this to him. He was thinking about have people come over where they would play this and asked me if I thought it was a good idea. I told him my family and some friends used to play a long time ago. It was fun and a way to play and hang as long as no one gets cranky losing. If I remember correctly we played for dimes and no one played more than five to ten dollars max.

Does anyone play friends/family games for money?
Hey Sigs! That sounds like fun!

When I was a kid, we'd play poker. My dad had this big Gallo wine jug full of change and we'd pour that out and everyone would divide it up, then we'd play for hours, then we'd see who had the most and put it all back in the jug!;-D We were easily entertained!
