Old String Game

I vaguely remember playing this string game over and over when I was a kid, do you?



If I liked beer I'm sure I'd like this new butter tart beer created in a town just outside of Toronto, in Ontario.

And it looks like they have found an obesity gene. There is obviously a lot more to understand about how it works.

One of my sisters is in town, visiting from Florida.  She says they were about to land in Toronto yesterday, the plane touched down, then suddenly swooped back up into the air.  The pilot later announced that he saw another plane taking off on the same runway just as they were about to land so he had to do that.  It was a very scary experience.

This string game makes me to remember my younger days. It should be a scary experience for the people in the plane. Need to thank the pilot he had saved all the lives in the plane...

Oh gosh! That is a scary airplane experience! And yes! I do remember playing that string game. I don't think I can remember how to play it though.

I loved to do those string games too :)
Thanks for the reminder :))
Boy, that was some experience for
your sister. But eventually they landed
safely, thanks to the pilot.

Have a beautiful day Christine!

Where was air traffic control? On a tea break?

That sounds like a very scary experience. I'm glad everyone's okay! I'm not a big beer fan either, I tend to like sweets more...

Oh yes, yes, yes! I remember this string game very well! I loved to play it when I was a child. I did it as you did it over and over again :) It's great to hear that the pilot reacted such quick to avoid a bad accident!
