Hey everybody!
To my dismay, I must say that our beloved care (who started this blog) is not in town and will not be posting for a few days. I am here to fill in though I could never post as well as she does here on carol's corner. Anyway, she will be back so don't cry. I was wondering if any of you liked the card games I posted. Please post a comment saying how you liked them because I just feel like knowing. ;D Well, questions and comments should be posted as a comment (duh) but other than that, keep reading! Abster Out.

Website
There's a really fun website, which I visit often, that tells you how to do many things. How to survive an encounter with an ostrich, how to plant a garden, how to braid your hair... etc. Here's the link if you ever have a question about how to do something: http://www.wikihow.com/Main-Page
Thanks for reading!

Celtic - Carolina Connection
Of the famous "Big Three" (Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen) now playing in the NBA Finals, two of them have South Carolina connections. Garnett was born in Mauldin, South Carolina, and played for the high school team there until his senior year when he transferred to Farragut Career Academy in Chicago. In an interview with The Boston Globe, Garnett said, "I know exactly where I'm from... I've never claimed Chicago as a first home. It's definitely my second home among homes. But I'm from South Carolina, and I'll be a South Carolinian until I die. I rep the South with dignity and integrity" (Spears 2). A teammate of Garnett, Ray Allen, was born into a military family and lived all over the country (and in Germany) while growing up. During his high school years though he played for Hillcrest High while living in Sumter, South Carolina. He led Hillcrest to a state championship his senior year. In The Boston Globe article Allen says that, "A lot of people ask me where I'm from all the time... it's interesting because a lot of people in South Carolina declare me as one of their sons. I have no problem with that, but I have people in California that do the same thing and other states I lived in that feel the same" (Spears 2).
Really, Really Fun Card Game
Hi! I am new here on Carol's Corner, but don't worry, you'll get some good stuff out of me. Anyway, I found a card game that is actually very fun. It tests your memory and is good practice if Alzheimer's runs in your family. Well, the game is called Animals, and don't be fooled, the name sounds childish, and it may seem childish at first but you will see that it may be hard for you to win. Here are the directions:
1. Each player chooses an animal name to play under. The longer the name, the better (think hippopotamus, rhinoceros and so on). The cards are all dealt and placed face down in piles in front of each player. 2. Players go around the table turning over their top card and placing it face up in their own discard pile. When a player turns up a card that matches one on another pile, the two pile owners race to say each other's animal name three times. The first to do so gets the other's discard pile. Play continues until someone has won all the cards. VARIATIONS: Players make the animal's sound instead of calling its name.
Enjoy testing your reflexes and memory in this fun, loud and stressful (sometimes, but not a lot) game!
