Games People Play.


I enjoy games. Scrabble. Dominoes. Strike-a-Match, to name a few. But Yatzee, by far, is one of my absolute favorite games. I have a hand held Yatzee that I got for a Christmas present maybe 10 years ago. I play one game on it every single day. Just one game.
Here is photographic evidence of today's game.


{OK, yeah. So I didn't date the photo when I took it. Not because I didn't want to do so but rather because I haven't a clue how to make my camera do that. I could RTFM but seriously people. They don't write those for blondes. I just want someone to SHOW me how to put the date on a photo. That is how I roll. But I digress.}

The year after I got my hand held Yatzee game I bought one for my Momma for Christmas. She loved mine and I knew she would love having her own. I can remember the fun she and I would have racing on our hand held yatzee games to see who could finish the game first and who would have the highest score. Good times. Fabulous memories.

Feeling blue?

Today - January 19, 2009 - is the most depressing day in HISTORY, say experts
By Daily Mail Reporter


If you woke up feeling blue today then the chances are you are not alone. For Monday, January 19, 2009 is going to be the most depressing day in history, according to experts.

Cold weather, fading Christmas memories and broken New Year resolutions mean this period is usually miserable, but the effects of the economic downturn makes this year worse than ever.

Millions will feel so glum they will decide to stay in bed and up to a quarter of workers are expected to call in sick, research suggests. Psychologist Dr Cliff Arnall has devised a mathematical formula that pinpoints today as Blue Monday.

He says there are six depressive factors which will come together including the winter weather, Christmas credit card bills and abandoned New Year's resolutions. Fears over job security, mounting debt and the house price collapse make this year the toughest yet.

Monday is regarded as the worst day of the week with many dreading the prospect of returning to work. Dr Arnall, 43, said: 'The credit crunch means today is potentially the most depressing Blue Monday we have had.'

The former academic at Cardiff University said the best way to overcome the Monday blues was to do something fun, adding: 'People feeling depressed could put on a fun DVD, get some friends over for something to eat or call someone they've put off calling for months or years.'

Separate research by staff absence specialist FirstCare claims 22 per cent of workers are likely to call in sick today as seasonal illness hits a peak.

A spokesman said: 'Colds and flu like symptoms are often a pre-cursor to stress and depression and it is no coincidence that as the economic climate deteriorates we continue to see people with fatigue and anxiety.'

Meanwhile, William Hartson, a psychologist at Cambridge University, has devised a mathematical formula which marks today as the most likely for accidents.
