(bethann) Ummmmmm, well my pard and I won tonight because we were a TEAM; we got the cards; but most of all we were determined to win....We decided that it was time to tie the knot instead of just being bridesmaids the few times we have parded together....lol....:)))) 
 
Do you have any euchre strategies or tips to share? 
(TheTramp1) Let us win more often!!!!!  LOL
EDITOR'S NOTE: VISA or M/C accepted.. bribery will get you everywhere.. LOL  
(KardSharp) When going into a tournement, always bring an extra deck of cards with more Jacks...I do. 
(bethann) Well, just be yourself when you play, have the right partner, take chances, don't wait on a pat hand to call and most importantly, reply on your pard to take his/her trick; and of course, having the right cards always helps....lol 
(bethann) Also as a kid I was taught to be a good loser as well as a good winner and if I couldn't lose with dignity, then I wouldn't play.... 
 
You won . . . it's time to brag . . . anyone you want to brag to or give a hard time? (Or just a general brag . . . LOL!!) 
(TheTramp1) Come one...come all........LOL  
(KardSharp) Yeah..to my Best friend TheBoss1..."Hey boss?  Kiss this ---> (_l_) 
(bethann) I would like to take this time to brag on all of my friends at WW....I think you ALL are the best and I wouldn't trade ANY of YOU for anything in the world.... I have really enjoyed being at WW these past fews years because it is my home away from home via the computer (and God knows how much time I spend here).....
