Treye's Card #3
Krysten, we are reviewing cards. Tell me your numbers. Toni is here at my house playing.
If need be. We will spin until either you or Toni get the next number on your WINNING card.
I'm a little amused that we could pick our numbers any way we wanted, and 4 people all needed the same number.

Peggy,
What if you go to the view pull down menu in your browser and click on refresh? Does it do it then, too?
Krysten,
If we go that route, the five people (16 cards) sitting in my kitchen will have an unfair advantage.
Thanks for being flexible and rolling with the punches as we figure this out.
