I guess he don't play bingo... the odds is he is trading... :)
I like the i-pad. So beautiful. I once tried this but when I wanted to use my tissue, my ipad fell inside the toilet bowl 😂😂 i cried dat day😂😂😂
Some reason this story could not all be included in one comment?
I just like writing in parts. If you check my wall, my stories are written in episodes but I am sorry if you don'nt like it. Next time I want to drop a comment. I will do it as a single comment. One love brother
My Mom wanted to blame me at the start, but she later gave up when I cried so much that I stopped eating.
She finally bought another one for me but only after I agreed to allow her deduct it from my pocket money.
But I was not really feeling it since unknown to her, my rich boyfriend was still funding me big
bingoooooooooooooooo
Binga is played alot there right? people here play the lottly 3-4 times a week here :)
lol! Disproportionately funny.
I've got my proportions wrong again?!!?!??
I will never make an artiste :-)
I guess it's Walmart greeter or nothing then.
hahah?? lol
I love bingo ! I remember when I worked at a senior citizen center and they played bingo and I would think to myself, is this what I’ll be doing ?
Well, is it?
Me too
absolutely right,lol.
Why is Bingo so popular in the USA?
I know from movies that there are Bingo parties and something like that.
Aren't there a lot better games that are more exciting?
I never played it, so I'm just curious.
Bingo ist a great game. I find IT amazing!
Mee toooo
I guess it goes well with obesity, political naivety, and willful blindness.
Same can be said for people from my country.
Most of the 50+ year people still live in the 20th century... they just keep voting for the same people that are robbing us for the past 25 years.
We can just agree that something is wrong, and we can hope something changes.
One of the important reasons I want to travel to the US
When I was a teenager I couldn't afford to pay a fine. The community service program sent me to the bingo hall. I had to walk around and sell tickets to people who took their game far too seriously. They hated me and called me slow! I've hated bingo ever since!
So that's where you started to go wrong. For normal teenagers it was a pool hall, not a bingo hall. But who ever said you were normal, eh?
That is a good point. Anyone calling me normal might have a few screws loose of their own.
I concur
Not normal
Is that based on a true story?
I am ready too
@onceuponatime,
Seriously I don't know this game. And I think I just passed my young age also. Did you take this photography. It's pretty awesome!
I hope now they are playing the same game at the heaven!
Have a great day ahead!
Cheers~
Actually, that is a game played in Hell, not in Heaven!
@onceuponatime,
I think I made a mistake somewhere else. Still didn't figure out :/ If something said wrong, sorry for that!
(I think this is your father and mother, am I correct? Once you told about their story)
Cheers~
I just have a pretty jaded opinion of time spent playing bingo. It's me, not you. I'm sure you could appreciate the subtleties of the game much better than I.
Yes bro you can try once and you will experience the game and you know what is that and how is the game...@theguruasia
@onceuponatime,
Oh if I get a free time, I will try this out :D But you addicted me into photography :D Now if I get a free time it's a time for a new photography :D
According to your comment I feel this is a time consuming game and you don't like it :D
Cheers~
Ahh the memories when i was young i played it alot with my friends i really enjoyed it but now i have no time for it😢
No time for Bingo? What is this world coming to?
I think they secretly appeal to the great God of Bingo.
Best to leave them alone. For I once heard it's better not to poke the old men, for they will hurt you.
Fear of the Lord (of Bingo) is the beginning of wisdom LOL
this must be loved by every one , i loke the idea!
I have never played this game. But I think that i'm still young,😂 so what do you think @onceuponatime ? am i in time to play it? ☺
It takes time to make time. Have you got time to make the time, or are you already too busy?
The truth is @onceuponatime that the last couple of years my time is very limited, but I am a person who is capable of doing many things at the same time, so I think I'm able to learn how to play Bingo.
Only to learn quickly, I must have a good teacher. ☺
What do you say @onceuponatime ? Do You want to be my teacher? 😉
Priorities are changing! The main thing in life is to reach its maximum!
There is no maximum!
Bingo became even a common word itself...
Cultural misappropriation!
grandma and grandpa are taking their time to enjoy life.
Congratulations @onceuponatime!
Your post was mentioned in the hit parade in the following category:
Very touching picture. Old people very often resemble small children.
So treat your children well, because some day you will be their child.
У Вас получилось в одном предложении выразить мудрость веков!!!
I played it once in my childhood, it was a very intense match where everyone tried their best to lead their team to victory. It was fascinating and so fun. Then we almost died from boredom and I lost.
Perhaps losing was, in this case, a long term win?
A very boring long term win))
Always wanted to play bingo, here in Romania is not that popular. I have some friends who used to play Bingo on Saturdays and had a lot of fun! I should definitely try asap!
Your friends play bingo on a Saturday night? Do you have the most boring friends in the world?
Hahahah I guess so
Used to play several years before, when we were in our early twenties :))
That explains it then. Youthful folly :-)
(I am only teasing. I'm sure your friends are paragons of virtue, and played bingo at the church hall after Bible study and before going out to help the poor and needy)
Hahah
You're kinda right, at least one of them was approximately in the situation you described! I wish you a wonderful day!
The bingo or the lingo lets play some game
I like your style!
Time to enjoy each moment of the life
Oh? The sun is finally over the yardarm?
Hahaha Bingo game is just boring, I enjoy to play Subway Surfers on my phone, I think it's better than Bingo :D
Subway Surfers, eh? Is that even more cut throat than Bingo?
Hi, i think i am a girl that's why my thinking is different than boys. Because girls likes game that boys don't like hehe may be.
Why i have not played this game damm need to find out soon
Maybe you are not ready for that depth of self knowledge just yet :-)
Hi, as strange as it maybe seem to you, I did not know this game.. now i read and learn it.. and I admit that I like it..and I seem to buy it.. 😀😀😀 how often you play bingo?
I never play bingo. But then, again, until recently I didn't think that I would be taking selfies either :-)
Why? Why do not you like selfies? It has fun..😀😀😀.
Lots of things that are "fun" aren't necessarily good for you. Take eating sugar as an example :-)
You are right..have a nice day...
Nah, it's over my head too!
Oh, that makes us like-minded. :) Ain't it @onceuponatime?
You like my mind?
OK, you like my mind, I like your mind. Like upvoting, is it?
True but difference in SP differentiates us. But we're going off topic so I would rather stop here. May be you could take a look at my recent post and give your honest feedback. Peace
No matter our biological age, our spirit remains young and playful! And that's a beautiful thing. However, I must note that a 90's kid like me would never play Bingo. I can picture myself and my bestie in 45 years from now being like:
PS. Are these your parents, Lord Vader? :)
"No matter our biological age, our spirit remains young and playful!"
Not so sure about that. My spirit is starting to feel pretty old and cynical :-)
Yes, my parents.
I deny to believe that a man who helps selfishly newbies and minnows rise and show their work has an old spirit. You could just enjoy your success and don't give a damn, but instead you participate, interact and help. That's a young spirit right there ;)
PS. As for the cynical part...Other than ouzo, I guess that's another reason you picked Greece to live. After all, Greece's the motherland of Diogenes and Cynic philosophy. I think every move of Lord Vader has been well-considered and blessed by the Force ;)
Actually, I have been known to think a couple of moves ahead :-)
He He, I think it's pretty obvious that you're many moves ahead! On the other hand, I am known to think more naively than my 4-year-old son (I am a single father among other things, but my little man comes FIRST, regardless!).
However, you have to admit that I win the "Battle of Cups." If you come up with a more impressive collection, I may cry. Please show mercy Lord Vader LOL!
Even though it's boring. At least old ones have a company and something to do. Much better than sitting all alone in the wheelchair)
Drinking coffee is an option too:
Or celebrate Christmas :d
The only time I played this game it was at my 6 if I recall. My timing is bad at almost everything.
I'm sure that Life will give you a second chance :-)
Hopefully yes!
Hey good morning to you 😀!
I don't know about you but speaking for myself, it always puts a big smile on my face when I come across a picture like this one!
A couple that have lived a long lifetime full of happy times as well as sad ones. Laughter followed by tears, break ups and make ups. Joy and pain and I am sure spending endless hours on bingo and similar games lol !
And still at that age they manage to.....play the "game", literally and metaphorically. By not only having fun but entertaining us as well as, teaching us valuable lessons in life! Now that's sth not only admirable to look at but makes me wonna laugh and dance too lol
Careful. Dancing is contagious. You wouldn't want anyone to catch it from you :-)
Dancing is always a good thing and no one should be afraid to be contaminated by it ☺
What about the Tarantella? (said to have originated from the bite of a tarantula spider)
And Leonard Cohen has a slightly jaded opinion of dance as well:
dance me to the end of love
Yes that is true Tarantella dance is connected with the Tarantula spider. It is said though, that Tarantella was performed as a therapy against the bite of the spider ☺!!
Another thing that a lot of people do not kow is that both the dance and the spider took their names from Taranto (Taras) a city in Southern Italy, which was created by the Spartans.
So I guess dancing is a good thing after all 🙂!
P.s.: The song you posted is a legendary one by beloved Leonard Cohen, which is beautiful to dance to!!!
I guess the debate will go on for eternity as to whether dance originates from, or cures, the bite of the lady spider.
Do tarantulas make webs? or are they hunting spiders like my beloved Wolf spider pets in the Himalayas?
Oops I do not know the answer to this. But would love to know 😉
I guess it doesn't have to do with dancing lol
I hope we will have a crypto bingo when we are older....
Put in your request here:
https://www.peerplays.com
Never had a look on the PPY; seems very stable. But sure need some more invest. Thanks for letting me know.
Pure madness! lol
Pandemonium!
looks an incredible game to play i got the game to play in my old age
Even you are going to get old? Then there is absolutely no hope for the rest of us :-)
Or it's probably even more cut throat because that's the only thing you are good at haha
Good point.
Ahh, good old bingo...
@onceuponatime....yeah really i like this bingo game ... i used to play in my teen age i spent more time to play this game..my mom always shout me when i spent a too much time in it and leave the all works ...very nice game and most popular game in us....thank you for sharing with us bro..
Well, you will be able to shout back at your Mom when she starts playing. Or just let her play. It will keep her off the streets and out of the bars :-)
Ha ha ...
Excellent. I love the online version. I love playing online bingo because of the social environment. Some of my best friends I met while playing online. The chat games are great and make the game so much fun and I have won some great additional prizes.
Another great aspect is that online bingo halls will have special promos such as 21 days of car giveaways, cruises, trips, TV, ipads to name a few. They often hold draws for depositing players for above prizes as well. The bonuses are never ending and this allows your money to go so much further.
There are endless free bingo rooms if you are low on funds. These free rooms also give away prizes and bonus points. There are also penny, 5c, 10c all the way up to $5 rooms. There are rooms for every budget.
Sounds like an entertaining way to pass the time. How much money does it cost for, say, a typical two-day 48-hour non-stop bingo binge? Do I get toilet breaks or should I wear my incontinence underwear?
I advise you to stay away from them my friend @swissclive
You can addictive them hahaha
I am following you can you see blog if you want
How many hours a day do you spend in training? Are you on a high protein diet? Is it the mental or the physical strain that's the worst?
Lol. I guess i am used to it. It is more mental than physical and i am not on any diet:)
That's right, you're right ... Meaningful Photo
I am His, you are His, you are me, and we are altogether.
I am the Walrus
great post sir i love this game
thanks for sharing with us
Please see my question above @hassanben. Also, do you have to an adult, bearing in mind this: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@swissclive/hi-steemians-i-am-swissclive-the-youngest-ever-poster-on-steemit
welcome youngest member of steemit
those were good times
We thought they'd never end..........
Very good post my Friend! Never too old to party! Just think about all the People who lost because they couldn't hear or see the number! Wishing everyone the VERY best of health and happiness! Positive Energy! Great Karma! Blessed 2018 my Friends! :)
Strange thing is, the old man there could never hear me, but he could hear the bingo caller call the numbers.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THAT'S HILARIOUS MY FRIEND! PLEASE KEEP IN TOUCH! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR! AND I HEAR WHAT YOUR SAYING! HAHAHAHAHAHA! :) :)
Nice pic of old age life , thank you
Yes our friends should remember our old age. It's a great post.
Who's got friends?
Old people are usually very slow but .....look at them when they are in their way to play bingo...
Don't ever get in the way!
It is more fun when your in 5th grade, playing science vocabulary bingo, when everyone takes the game to seriously...like if they lose they will die suddenly...lol
How about those old Central American ball games where the loser dies (or the gladiator fights in the Roman Coliseum)?
well....I think its a game of lazy people......
But if aged people are playing it, then its good.
Thank you @onceuponatime and Have a great day.
Don't be so judgmental LOL
Bingo will bang on when we grow older.
Reason :- We have limited option.
There are two roads you can go by. There's still time to cross over.
Oh I dont know, some of those old timers take their bingo pretty seriously lol!!
Bingo IS serious!!!!
