What is your favorite outside summer game ?
Bikini watching
What is your favorite thing to take to the beach or pool ?
Very dark sun glasses so Mrs D doesn't see me playing my favorite summer game
You sound like my DH. When he was younger he loved the mirrored sunglasses because he could check out women and no one would know, lol. That was before me.
Today's Question(s):
Have you ever played
Horseshoes ? yep
Croquette ? yes - love the grass underfoot, the sound the mallet makes when it hits, and watching the ball slowly roll through the little post
Badminton ? birdie! yep
Bonus Question:
What is your favorite outside summer game ? riding bikes or climbing trees
Extra Credit Question:
What is your favorite thing to take to the beach or pool ? sunscreen and my man
Bonus Extra Credit Question: If someone you knew really well was "redolent" in a "not so good way", would you let them know ? oh boy, i've been faced with this predicament before at work. Once with a manager who had horrible breath and once with a co-worker who had strong b.o. We never said anything to the manager but people did tell the woman about her b.o. It caused...a big "stink". Eventually things calmed down but she still smelled bad. I'm glad I wasn't one of the ones to tell her she stunk up the joint. However, I will tell my guy if his breath or b.o. is rough.

Have you ever played
Horseshoes ?
Croquette ?
Badminton ?
Yes to all. I haven't played horseshoes for a long time, but we had a horseshoe pit when I was growing up & played a lot. We still play croquette and badminton. Bonus Question:
What is your favorite outside summer game ? We play hide-n-seek with the kids in the dark. My sister once stood in front of a bush convinced her husband was there. As she was demanding he come out of the bush he had climbed up the side of the house (it's a logcabin) and was looking down on her. Yes, most of us are in our 50s & I think some times we have a better time than the kids. Extra Credit Question:
What is your favorite thing to take to the beach or pool ? I don't know. I don't sit much at the beach, usually walking. I would like to try bocce like Charley mentioned. Oh, and Studedude, why do you think women wear sunglasses?
Bonus Extra Credit Question:
If someone you knew really well was "redolent" in a "not so good way", would you let them know ? Probably not. I grew up on a farm and know what Hdinia is talking about. Oh, and the custodian who worked at the school I first taught in worked on a farm. We could tell when he walked into the building!
I would like to tell some people who smoke that they are redolent smelling. Their kids come to school with jackets smelling of smoke. I don't think they're any more aware of it than the farmers.
Have you ever played Horseshoes ? No I haven't but they will have one set up at the clubhouse today. That and Bocce Croquette ? Had a croquette set when I was younger. Loved it. A lot of fun. Badminton ? yes but couldn't hit the broad side of a barn Bonus Question:
What is your favorite outside summer game ? how about sitting by the pool with a drink in hand to see who can drink the most
Extra Credit Question:
What is your favorite thing to take to the beach or pool ? bathing suit Without that I'm nothing.
Bonus Extra Credit Question:
If someone you knew really well was "redolent" in a "not so good way", would you let them know ? I have to look up redolent and will get back when I know what this means.

1866 - Charles Elmer Hires invents root beer Always like sasperella better. Did he invent that too.
Word of the Day: redolent \RED-uh-luhnt\ , adjective:
1. Having or exuding fragrance; scented; aromatic.
2. Full of fragrance; odorous; smelling (usually used with 'of' or 'with').
Oh I see. That is a tough one. No, it is tough, really tough. I was in this situation with someone who doesn't use deodorant. Oh it was awful. the whole house smelled like underarms pits. We had stayed over night and i brought my febreeze for the sheets but that didn't even make a dent.
Still couldn't say anything so we just don't go anymore. I can't.

What is your favorite outside summer game ?
I used to really love baseball, but croquette is good too
What is your favorite thing to take to the beach or pool ?
My dogs.
But I love to swim, too, so a bathing suit is necessary.
I always take something to read, but end up either vegging out or people-watching or playing with the dogs.
If someone you knew really well was "redolent" in a "not so good way", would you let them know ?
It depends how well "really well" is. If it is someone close, I would indeed probably say something very diplomatic.
