Today we kick off our shoes and ready ourselves for some fun. If you love playing or watching games, then today will be fun. If you don't like playing games, then join us for some silliness. Please share your favorite video, card, board, or computer games on the thread. We'd love to read about it. As always, enjoy yourself. Don't forget to click on the links on the right hand side for our weekly threads and sports links. Also, links will be provided throughout the thread. Thank you!
If you are wondering why we are doing this, please keep in mind the troops around the world that visit us. Sometimes mindless fun for a few minutes can provide that extra release from the often thankless job of defending our freedom. For our troops, their families, and friends; it is important to create a place where they can get a moment of silliness and fun. Well, that's what we are here for. We hope you keep that in mind. Not all games will be to everyone's liking. However, we do feel that we've provided games for everyone to enjoy. |

FANTASY SPORTS GAMES ONLINE
Do you like football? If you are ready for football season, why not try your skill as a Coach or manager of your own team. The following links will allow you to set up your own teams and leagues. So? If you have any friends you know you can beat, definitely invite them to join you! Oh! You can pay for some leagues, but we are just interested in the FREE games. Don't forget to read the rules. You will also need to register in order to begin playing. If you don't want email to your account, set up a yahoo or hotmail account for free. Using these games for gambling purposes is prohibited. Also, all games we searched for are free. Prizes are given out, but no purchase is necessary to play. (Why pay to play games that are offered for free?)
 
*Sporting News has two free Fantasy Football Leagues one for the NFL and the other for NCAA football. The basic premise of this game is the player (that's you!) is given 35 million dollars. You then create your ultimate team. Each week, depending upon the players performance from the week before, they will either increase or decrease in value. Don't forget that you start with 35 million dollars and you want to have an increase each week with the players available on your roster. (Don't forget to click on the footballs to transport to their site!)
*ESPN.com offers their free Fantasy Pro and College games. These games are usually very fun. There's not too much stress with these games. You basically just pick the teams each week that you believe is going to win. One of the college games deals with the point spread. Will the team win by the spread or lose by it. It's not very complicated. (Don't forget to click on the footballs to transport!)
*Yahoo's Fantasy Football League is for all of those fans that love to participate in a Live NFL Draft. You first begin by ranking the players that you really like. After you've set up or joined a league, an actual Draft date will be set. After the Draft has taken place, you can begin looking at your team. You will be able to do trades and act like a general manager and coach. What a wonderful way to play the game without the drama or egos. Enjoy this game. Sign Ups are still available now. (Don't forget to click on the football to transport!)
These are just a few of the Free Fantasy Football games. We are sure there are others out there, but they are hard to come by these days. When Fantasy Football games first began online, they were virtually all free. However, the popularity of these games has created a need (in the opinions of the website gurus) for more interactive and paid services. Which is fine, but we remain cheapskates and free is good for us.

Hey there, Kid, I'm doing fine. Just got home from Sam's Club buying swim suits and t-shirts for our guys on the way to Qatar for R&R. The R&R Center is hosting the 3rd Infantry Division, 10th Mountain Division, and soldiers from both Iraq and Afghanistan. Aloha Ronnie put up a thread. It was fun shopping. LOL!

Yes, and I'd like to point out that, considerate person that I am, you'll be receiving pre-approved purchase orders, so you don't even have to bother with those as they cross your desk. Just pay the invoices when they arrive. (No thanks necessary, Tonk; I was only thinking of you!)

That's a BIG kitchen -- plus the pantry, breakfast nook, dining room, and outdoor grilling and wood-fired oven (for artisan breads) area. OH! and probably an atrium, too. Must have a room for that indoor herb garden. Then there's the greenhouses, surrounding the enclosed pool, which not only is a place for joint-friendly exercise for the weary cook, but is also a practical addition to add humidity to the greenhouses....
You realize that this is all still in the planning stages, so this picture doesn't reflect the actual colors I plan to have in place, but here's something from my ideas notebook:
I lean towards blues and a country-modern look, so I'm not yet sure if the design will encorporate stainless steel or not, but I like the practicality of this steam oven with its own water reservoir and plate-warming drawer:
Then, of course, there are the decisions regarding everyday stainless flatware and the design of the sterling for formal occasions. Just thinking about china patterns has me feeling like a new bride! ;)
So many design plans decisions and purchase orders to prepare; so little time!
