| Testimonial Of The Month |
| Brought to you by: *GoldToken* Players |
I’ve been playing on this site since 2000/2001, that’s when my friend butch/hitman introduced me. My favorite games seem to be any domino game (except Mexican Train, I’d rather play that one in person) and Hit & Miss Salvo. I really do wish I knew how to play chess though. My favorite people to talk to are Shilotte, couchspud, Templater, Angie, I apologize for leaving anyone out. I love the clubs actually. Hoot, you were the first one to tell me to sit on the porch and you were going to get someone to pour me lemonade, I never forgot that. LOL I have a weird sense of humor, so if you can make me laugh, you have made a friend!
