Health and Wellness -
A Place To Share & Discuss Health Issues etc. If anyone here at GoldToken have any health issues and would like to share them with others or maybe just to discuss concerns, check out this board. At this time, there are no posts but it could be a valuable asset/comfort to any members who would wish to discuss health concerns or just to ask questions that someone may be able to answer for you.
Photozone - The place for members to post their best original Pics. Have you checked out this board lately? It's so awesome to see some of the original pictures players have posted. So much creative talent and imagination on this board. The host gives a subject each month for players to go out, find and capture on film. The images that you enter for the competition must be taken by you, a friend or family member - not searched for on the Internet. Whether you give it a try or not, it's an awesome experience to see and vote on!
Polls - This month's "best poll" winner is
Callie!
She submitted the
What's your favorite vegetable to eat raw? poll, and we found out that, for players who responded to the poll, cucumbers are the favorite vegetable to eat raw. Do you have an idea for a poll? Send your question, along with a few short answers, to the
Pollmaster for consideration.

May's game of the month is
Muggins! Join us in a fun Round Robin Style Tournament by signing your club up today.
Please notify
PattyMac to join or post in the The
Site Wide Club vs Club Tournament Club. Hope to see you there!
April's winner is:
Zucchini Cake
3 Eggs, beaten
1 C. Vegetable Oil
2 C. Sugar
2 tsp. Vanilla
2 C. Flour
3 tsp. Cinnamon
2 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Salt
½ tsp. Baking Powder
2 C. Zucchini, coarsely ground
Combine eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla. Mix well. Combine dry ingredients and add to oil mixture, mixing well. Stir in grated zucchini. Pour batter into greased and floured 10” Bundt pan, you can also use a 9X13, just adjust your time. Bake at 350 for 55 – 60 minutes if using the Bundt pan. Allow to cool for 20 minutes before removing from pan. Really good by itself, or with a cream cheese icing.
No mixer needed, just a whisk. I have also used a 9 X 13 pan and lessened the time. This is really tasty; lots of cinnamon flavor.

We would like to say
to
* Sassy_Angel * for letting us step into their personal life for a bit.
1. How'd you choose your name for GT?
- I got my GT name from a club I belonged to years ago. Handyman the Rebel club. Sure a lot players remember Andy; he paid for many memberships. I was Rebel Sassy Angel than and then shortened to Sassy_Angel.
2. What interests you most on GT? Do you have a favorite game?
- There were less than 2000 players here when I started GT. and we were all like a big family. Many are still here, but have lost so many dear friends along the way. 2001 in Feb. when I came here from IYT and many others started there as well, we became friends and IYT and all came over here and never left.
- I like all four in a row games,
backgammon, Mau Mau , Mexican train fast. I don't play chess 
or checkers 
.
3. What state or country do you reside in? What do you think tourists should definitely see?
- I live in USA, Indiana and if you come here Indy 500
and must love basketball (Pacers Reggie Miller ) and Colts football Manning 
4. What hobbies do you have?
- I love to read
always have. I need to get some surgery done on eyes so I can read more. I do adult coloring books have about 40 books and over 400 colored pencils. 
5. Children? Grandchildren?
- I have 2 sons
and 2 daughters 
, 17 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren another one due in June. 
6. Do you work? what kind of work do/did you do?
- I do not work. I started work as a carhop at 13 years of age, then at 16 started retail sales, did that 'til I was around 30 and became a CNA
and then took EMT and became a home health aide 'til my health wouldn't let me any longer up in late 2015.
7. Any pets?
- No pets, have had dogs
in the past. But now I guess you can say my house plants are my pets. I have around 40 now, getting 6 more next week.
8. Are you under 30?___ 30 to 50? ___ or over 50? Male or Female?
- Female
76 years of age, birthday New Years Eve. 
9. Favorite food?
- Food, I am picky eater, but can't go wrong with bacon, white fish, chicken or turkey (unknown photo), potatoes and pasta. Oh, don't forget desserts. (unknown photo)
10. What's the farthest you've been from home?
- From Indiana to Florida & Tennessee, I love Tennessee. Been to New York.
11. Favorite season?
- I love Spring
when Earth renews itself and I like Summer (unknown photo)(unknown photo) and Fall. (unknown photo) Hate winter, seen too many cold snowy days in Indiana. 
12. If you could meet anyone (living or dead) in the world, who would it be?
People I would love to meet: John Lewis, JFK, MLK, Mother Thresa. Someday the most important will be Jesus.
I have met so many wonderful people here at GT. and lost several many dear friends during these 24 years I have been here. The people are amazing and I wanted to thank each of you for all the games. 
I lose more than I win but I don't care it's the people who make it worthwhile.
I would like to add August 2024 I found out I have rectal cancer and colon cancer both stage 2. I had radiation and chemo and surgery to remove colon cancer and part of colon. As of two weeks ago found out cancer free at this time. God is great. 
Being able to come to GT everyday and play games helped me a lot during this time and all the prayers and support from members. Thank you again. GT rocks
If there are any questions you would like to see asked in future interviews, please let us know.
