I'm In A Weird Mood Today

My phone hasn’t rung one time today, for one thing. I usually hear from someone. I did get one message on Instagram. Well, two. My great grandson messaged me that he liked the photo of the dog I forwarded him, who was sitting in a hole. He thought it was funny.
I often forward cute animal photos to my great grandchildren. They enjoy them. I especially like the BIG CAT photos and videos that I see on the BlackJaguarWhiteTiger site.
My favorite animal is the White Tiger. It is so beautiful, I think. And the little babies of the BIG cats they show are adorable. I just want to hold them in my arms.
I’ve just been going back and forth from room to room today trying to find something different to do to pass the time. I usually play Spades or Hearts on my IPad, when I get bored, but there have been some really RUDE players here lately. Using profanity and calling other players “idiots” and other names.
I don’t know if you play Spades or not, but sometimes if a player gets mad about something that he thinks is a STUPID play, by his online partner, then he will bid 13, and then leave the game, setting his partner. It’s so childish, but it’s been happening a lot lately. I’m about ready to remove that site from my IPad.
Partners in a card game are supposed to support each other. A player doesn’t always have the cards he needs to win his bid. No one playing Spades can expect to win every game. So, why get mad at someone and act stupid?
Do you like to play cards of any kind? If so, what do you play? What’s your favorite game? I like both Spades and Hearts, but Bridge is my favorite card game.

I don't know how to play Spider. I will have to check it out. I sort of do remember a game like called Spider, I think, from a long time ago, but not sure if it's what you are referring to.

I learned spades and hearts after I got married, pinochle too. I like playing them, but haven't done so in years, not since I was married.
Acting childish on a game is inconsiderate and rude. If that is happening a lot, I would quite the game/site.
I've seen pictures of the white tiger - it's very beautiful.

Yes, I reported quite a few of them but they just come back under a different name. Tonight there was another one. In fact, the worst I've seen yet. He was using all kinds of foul language and calling his PARTNER some really ugly names because she didn't play the card he wanted her to play. She didn't leave the game. She just stuck it out and ignored him. He stayed in the game and kept bidding outrageous bids, setting her every hand. They were like 455 in the hole when me and my partner won the game with over 500 points. But I'm GLAD she stayed and rubbed it in his face. I'll bet she reported him too as well as the other player who was MY partner, who he was calling names also when he told him to leave her alone. I think players like him should be banned from these games. I will NEVER play a game with him again if I ever see his name up on the screen.

It's absolutely ridiculous! You would not believe the ugly things that this person was calling his own Partner in the game because she didn't play the card he wanted her to play. I reported him and I hope they do something about it. But, what usually happens is that they just come back under another name. I think that they could, if they wanted to, trace the player back to his email address and not allow him to come back on the site, using that email address. But that might not work either.

Not much of a card player but I play a little Texas Hold Em on Kindle.

Oh, I love Texas Hold Em and any kind of poker really. But, I like to play with LIVE people using Poker Chips.

Yes, Solitaire can be relaxing. It just takes your mind off other things and there is no competition except with yourself.

I like to play Solitaire sometimes but I prefer playing with other players.

@YrNemo OK I can understand. I'm not an extravert but I do enjoy being with people, MOST of the time. Other times, not so much.
