Theistic, Trump Supporting Parent Who Insists on Torturing Me

Actually, I don't remember any of that.  So there!

(I was really young when my mother taught me how to play it.  And for some reason they stopped playing it as I got older.)

You were probably too good!  Since you can't remember, come on over, SGOS and I'll refresh your memory. :)  An evening of dinner and canasta--can't beat that!!

There are a few places to play online with far away friends.

I must confess, that when I was a teen, being a poor sport over losing at Canasta, was one of my least admirable qualities ;-(

Wasn't melding out great when all the others had big hands!

My parents and I split up a loooooooong time ago. I sometimes wonder what it would have been like to have a mothering mother.

Yeah, me too. I haven't seen my mother since I was 3 y.o., now I'm 60. I've often wondered what it's like to have had, as you put it, a mothering mother.

Wonderful.
And I'm not saying that to make you feel bad.
I'm just saying it. It was wonderful. I was lucky.

My sympathies also ... I was adopted at birth ... so I did get the mothering mother second hand.
