LOL! I thought it was gonna be a "watch the Nuggets" alert.
I assuming that "alert" is some bridge term? I have no interest in learning bridge.

Unfortunately, the only way a Nuggets thread would have 50 posts is if I made 48 of them and Kiki and Christie both made one just to humour me.....
Yes, it's a bridge term. If you bid something that's not standard, you must alert it. You can call out "alert!" or play the little blue Alert card in your bidding box.

I agree about the Nuggets thread, except I'd chip in one post too. :mrgreen:

Eric is still watching with me. LOL I think he's waiting to use the "I watched this so now we're going to watch a marathon of 'How it's made'. "

My kids live for How It's Made!

I can't watch LMP in front of Erin, since I watched the initial episode of Toddlers and Tiaras with her in the room and she started dancing around and wanting all the fancy dresses.

No way, no how, not ever, never. I don't want to crush her self-esteem at the age of four. I tell her she's the prettiest girl ever and no one will tell her she's the fifth prettiest or whatever just because she has the wrong clothes or something.
