Ronnee Strickland explains how her family plays Rummikubs

Rummikub   is a  tile-based game  for 2 to 4 players, combining elements of the card game  rummy  and  mahjong . There are 106 tiles in the game, including 104 numbered tiles (valued 1 to 13 in four different colors, two copies of each) and two jokers. Players have 14 or 16 tiles initially and take turns putting down tiles from their racks into sets (groups or runs) of at least three, drawing a tile if they cannot play. In the Sabra version (the most common and popular), the first player to use all their tiles scores a positive score based on the total of the other players' hands, while the losers get negative scores.

Ronnee Strickland - Polymer Clay Artist

  Polymer clay  is a type of hardenable  modeling clay  based on the  polymer polyvinyl chloride  (PVC). It typically contains no  clay   minerals , but like mineral clay a liquid is added to dry particles until it achieves gel-like working properties, and similarly, the part is put into an oven to harden, hence its colloquial designation as clay.  Polymer clay is generally used for making arts and craft items, and is also used in commercial applications to make decorative parts. Art made from polymer clay can now be found in major museums. Ronnee Strickland discovered this marvelous substance a long time ago and never tires learning  about it. Polymer clays contain a basis of PVC resin and a liquid  plasticizer , making it a  plastisol . Polymer clay plastisol is also categorized as a  plastigel  because of its  rheological  properties. [5]  It is a high yield  thixotropic  material: whe...

Ronnee Strickland post re: Passing of Walter Mondale

  I was quite sad today to hear of the psssing of Walter Mondale, was a man of expansive intelligence and never-swerving integrity.  They were both prominently personified, daily, in his long career in public service as a state attorney general, ambassador, U.S. senator and Vice President.  Jimmy Carter and Fritz Mondale should serve as an example of what integrity in politics  should look like.    I remember in college having fevered discussing about this duo.  Rest In Peace!  I’m certain Joan will welcome you into your rightful place in heaven.   https://www.nytimes.com/2021/ 04/19/us/politics/walter- mondale-dead.html? referringSource=articleShare
