Yep...yer getting up there I reckon. When I had my first job away from home I couldn't afford much for fun so I went to the old folks bingo places and for really cheap had a ball. The old folks liked having a young'un there...well the ladies did anyway
 
Good for you!

I'm a bingo fan since grandma used to take us, her three eldest granddaughters with her when we were kids. I've not been for years, but still have a bag of bingo acutraments ready to go if the mood strikes.
There is a big tribal bingo game that's been tempting me, down the block from the Harrah's casino in Cherokee NC.

Hey,,,Hey let's watch out here! :eek:
I started playing shuffleboard on the hardwood table kind down at the firehouse! :cool: Still get the ache to do it when I find one! ;)
And we either played for beer or an ice tea! :D
Now Bingo is another story,,, back in the day we ran those games to raise money for the hose house and a lot of different aged people played... We weren't old farts back then! :D

Old Firefighters never die, they just end up helping to run Firefighter Museums! ;)

My late wife wanted to start playing Bingo. Took me to the Casino, got us all set up. It was very boring at first, but after a while I had a great time. I noticed that some people used lots of cards and that when someone started getting close to a Bingo there would be whispering. Soon I had a spare card and every number I would bang away on it with my ink dauber Then start whispering to my wife after a few numbers. Then, I became an India type Indian using the ink dauber on my forehead, then the end of my nose. My wife must not have had as much fun as I did as she never took me to Bingo again.

This was to raise money for the Humane Society of West Virginia. Same place we got Sandy and Sarah. They're sisters and spent 14 months there before we adopted them.
 
Oh now that's different.....

No,the kind with the long poles on a deck!

I have good, I mean really good memories of playing table shuffleboard. Boy do I. :D:D:D

OK, I have to tell the story. At the beach there was this girl who was dressed in all of this netty kind of stuff, she looked like an ANGEL....

You can fill in the rest.:)

The last time I played BINGO, Ike was starting his second term, and the Beatles were still 5 years in the future.
I was invited to a BINGO nite by a friend whose mother was a regular. I didn't know about all of the variations of the game, just the basic five in a row. After what seemed to be a long time for a BINGO game to last, I had my five in a line, and shouted the magic words; BINGO! Other players groaned and dumped their beans. It was discovered that I was in error, and the game continued. Without the players who had acted in hast. I wasn't a very popular 12 year old!

Best,
Rick
