At work we've been holding these bingo games as a means to help create engagement. "Brown Bag Bingo" sessions are held during lunch periods on all 3 shifts and employees can play bingo and eat their lunch at the same time.

I, as the senior manager on the shift I work, am "required" to play so I go to them during the monthly session. We let them select from a basket of "trinkets" when they win too. Problem is they typically have enough time to play about 10 games in the sessions and the two times we've done it so far I have won 8 of the ten sessions. No fix either. Random cards and only 2 cards per person.  :big grin:  (But I let 8 people select a prize each time, instead of taking one myself).

Maybe I ought to take up Bingo instead of the lottery!  :biggrin:

"...I have won 8 of the ten sessions.  No fix either."    No fix either, he says, hoping we all believe him  :wink: :biggrin:    I think you need to go play some bingo and let us know how it turns out.  :yes:

  I finished off some of my garden.  Canned the last of the cucumber, of dill spears, slices, and relish.  Canned the last of the Jalapeno peppers and canned some of my tomatoes.  I have second crop of tomatoes that is large as the first crop.  They will taste good this winter.    :snowball: :cold:

Reading that brings back memories. Although my father was a coal miner, his father was a farmer, so he always had a garden, and since he had 5 girls, no boys, and I was the oldest, he got me up before school to help in the garden. He canned and preserved also (much like you). And planted flowers. I hated hoeing and pulling weeds in the garden, but now I really enjoy planting herbs and other things I can fit in my small yard. Planned to plant some vegetables this year, but other things got in the way.I Maybe next year.

Not been a good week. Nothing terrible, just annoying. Most recent was yesterday. Husband had a Dr appointment with his cardiologist at the Roby building. He was in the building about 30 minutes. When he came out and got in the car the back window shattered. We don't know what caused it. They are coming tomorrow to fix it.
