   Oooohh...Mouse Trap, I'd forgotten about that game! I also liked Monopoly, but always lost. Which explains my financial situation as an adult,
   
   But I think my favourite was Sorry. Anyone remember that? I guess you can really tell people's ages by their answers! LOL No computer games in my childhood.

   If you mean games, in general, we played a LOT of softball. I lived in a development full of kids my age, and you always seemed to have instant teams.
   
   During the winter we played a lot of Monopoly, Scrabble and Old Maid.

    Wow,
    I remember my grand kids playing some of the games mentioned but in the early 30's we used to listen to GE radio crystal set, in evening with big ear phones. played a lot of cards and chess. I was only male child on my end of town, not any rough sports, when they put down sidewalks it did not take long to learn hop-scotch,
    I think someone on street got monopoly board about 1938 so used to play that for hours.

       It's true if you got a lousy profession, it just made everything go badly.
       
       I remember being annoyed that the profession closest to what I wanted to be-- a journalist-- was one of the lousiest paying jobs...

    Monopoly is always fun, but I take it too serious and everyone gets bored before the game is over.
    
    Battleship is always fun.
    
    Loved Nintendo and all that fun video game stuff.
    
    Street Fighter, Double Dragon, Super Mario Brothers.
    
    Sega with Sonic The Hedgehog and Mortal Kombat.
    
    Ahhh! Those were the days.

    that one were you made a circle with your thumb and forefinger(below waist height) if you got someone to look at it you could punch them inthe arm. Funny then, not so funny last week, some people just take too much offence at getting a punch in the arm.

       Trade punches! That's how my best friend got me to stop nail biting. I used to admire her nails and every time she caught me biting she punched me. I had brusies too. My mom though something was wrong with me.

       I stopped nail biting. I use nail clippers now if I need to. Usually I get comments like should be a hand model. In the beginning of my relationship w/ my fiance he thought I had fake nails.

       Only if Shirley ever goes for a manicure, the manicurist has to wear full body armor. Reflex action, donchaknow.

       I don't go to a manicurist. I know how to give my self french manicures. When I was younger I used to pirece my nails and put in nail jewlery. I can do decals the whole bit. Reminds me I volunteered once at an elderly home did nails all day. Who'da thunk nail polish would make you high? I left awful giggly.

       I really was just kidding you anyway, Shirley. I just had visions of a manicurist coming at you with clippers and you not able to stop yourself from hauling off on her with a right hook.

       Lol! I went in one day w/ a friend and the manicurist looked at my nails like she was about to drool. Asked me if I was getting my nails done. I said no she asked why not. I said I've outgrown funky designs I'm happy w/ a french she kept staring at my hands it was creepy.

       I avoid it like the plague.
       
       Those fumes can't be good for your brain. lol
       
       When I walk past the nail salon in the mall, I walk "A-Round".
       
       I walk on the opposite side of the wall and cover my face. lol
