If you know me you know that I'm not a competitive person. And you also know that my husband is very competitive. There have been a few times in my life where I have shown that I like to win.
When I was a child, my mother would take my brother and me to the Putt-Putt golf course. Not to toot my own horn, but I have a knack for putting. On each hole, I had to get a lower score than my brother. I was very ticked if I got a 5 and he got a 4. My brother was also competitive when it came to putting. He wanted to win also. My mother would say that it was a lose-lose situation for her because whoever lost would be crying on the way home. I still like to win at miniature golf but I don't cry anymore if I lose.
I also like to have the highest score in bowling but that usually doesn't happen. My average is somewhere in the 80's or 90's. I did beat my husband the first time we went bowling when we were dating. That was a fluke game. I think I scored over 100.
I enjoy playing cards and board games but it is usually for the enjoyment. It is always nice to win but it doesn't bother me if I don't. I just like the social atmosphere. There is one game that I generally want to win and that is Rack-O. The cards are numbered 1-60 and are dealt to you to put in your rack. By taking turns by drawing a card or taking from the discard pile, you have to get your numbers in chronological order. I also like word games because I am generally a good speller. Dust was saying last night that I should try out for Wheel of Fortune. The only thing is would I have enough strength to spin the wheel and are my arms long enough. : )

So is there an object lesson you are trying to teach me here Golden?
Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing. :)
When it comes to board games and such, I am more for the social interaction too! There are to many people (in-laws)who put their life into winning board games, so it is good to allow them win, if they can beat someone who isn't really paying attention.
I first played Rack-O
Not so very long ago
My but got kicked-O
Did you play rack-o without me? I love rack-0, how could you? :(
I am competitive but not to the point of tears on the way home, just during the game. I think I realized it when I was a teenager and I beat a guy at putt-putt on a first date. Not such a good idea.
Are you the one who cleaned our clocks at Texas hold-em one night?
Dash, your butt didn't get kicked-O mine did. Do you not remember reaching the 500 point mark on the last round?
