I am a little late with my comment, but, this is not a game that should be rated "medium". It is "hard"!
My computer was in repair land for several weeks, so am trying to catch up to my not very high score. Or get down to it, as the case may be.

So so sorry!! Got carried away with so many hearts and spades going straight up. Yes, the 7 comes down as soon as it appears. Must have driven a few of you crazy and humbly apologise. Will be more careful in future.

I finally finished this game at 140. What a workout!!! I'll work on lowering it now, but I'm happy with that after what I just experienced!!!

Thanks Donna, Norm and Robb for your comments. Very stressful time for our family right now.

Well, yeah, if you play the 7 first, it certainly is doable that way. Finally! So . . . Dale, Mom, and Mark -- Did you play the 7 OVER instead of first?? Love to know how you did it. Thanks, Tikki, for steering me to play the 7 first. Lots of wasted time on this one.

Donna..im still trying to get below 150..so feel good where u are! I'm trying to get there.
Donna, thanks for the kind remarks regarding Q and Race's new pic taken yesterday by the BIG GUY aka Howie M Long...my best friend, house guest and neighbor. and how he loves the twins..its really interesting to watch the three of them inter act when no one is around..i hear i may not see them..but the visual of their conversation is fluid.

I am using the King of spades first

I know 8 straight up.

Now I'm outta here.... -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> zzzzzzzz

ok stayed for a few more tries. I'm an addict. I didn't do the black ten switch and played the 8s straight up and got 135. Still one off...but it's better than nothing.
