Thank you for taking the time to write that polite comment.

You are so welcome.

Thanks for offering that perspective. I feel remiss for not mentioning allergy concerns in the video.

You're most welcome.

I would like to take credit for the 'logical' part but, all I did was contact the trailer manufacturer and asked them how diagnose the problem. I simply made a video from their advice. Glad it has helped as many as it has.

Your welcome. So glad the video helped.

Thank you for the feedback. Jumping is really just an expansion on what you already know. Instead of a single jump over one marble, maybe it would help to think of yourself taking a bigger jump. However many spaces you have on one side of the marble you need to have the same amount on the other side of the marble. Stay it with and maybe watch specific parts of the video to get that concept.

You're so nice to comment like that. Thank you for sharing.

My dad made it out in the garage about 50+ years ago. I don't know what prompted him make it that size. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for watching and thanks for the heart

It's been a lot of fun

Your so nice to take the time to leave a thoughtful comment. I hope you two can enjoy some fun moments together playing the game.

Thanks for the comment. It's a great way to start the new year.

Sounds interesting. Do you have a link to a video showing it?

@@landrytheaveragereasonable6735 No, but if you look at the central 7 spaces(center + ones surrounding it) you can either mentally take note of them or draw a hexagon shape enclosing them on a cheap commercial chinese checkers board(I did on a plain wood peg set). The thought did come to me that "well, people playing like this will just avoid jumping in those spaces" but I believe you're still bound to cross/enter those spaces regardless. Try it and see. Remember marbles jumped in that area have to start back in their home point again.

Your welcome. Thank you for taking the time show your appreciation.

That is precisely why I posted that video...to save someone a service charge if they could do it themselves. Thank you for the feed back.

I was just hoping to make people aware. If it was me, I maybe would've just used one exclamation mark rather than three. I appreciate your enthusiasm though.

Thanks, you made me smile. My excuse/reason for not being more productive with videos is that my wife and I have been full time care takers for her mom who is suffering various medical issues. I want to and hope to make some videos of that because we have learned so much that might be helpful to others. Thanks again for the comment...it's encouraging to me.

My dad made it out in our garage about 50+ years ago. It made for a lot of family entertainment. The other side has a chess/checker board painted on it.

Fair enough. I imagine there are others that feel the same way. The game is fun either way with me. I do appreciate you taking the time to share you thoughts

It has been a bit of a trying day today. Thank you for your upbeat comment. I really needed it today.

@@landrytheaveragereasonable6735 My pleasure, hope the next day goes better for you.

@@Paul_Bond. I showed my wife your comment about using three colors each for you and your son. She thought that was much more impressive than the 'long jump' idea and is anxious to try it.

@@landrytheaveragereasonable6735 Excellent! just try and remember which end your colours are aiming for, we usually use the colours adjacent to our main central one in an attempt to avoid to much confusion and expect to have to go all around the board as you will inevitably get into a big jam in the middle. It does however allow for some really impressive multiple jumps in single moves. Have fun!

Glad I could help. Maybe the time you now save on cancelled sleep doctor appointments can be filled with educating yourself on positive/constructive ways to interact with others.

That's usually the way it works. Glad it all worked out.

One idea - make one. You will be so proud of yourself and the board. I'm not suggesting that you invest in a lot of wood working tools either. Friends and neighbors are usually happy to help out by lending a tool, time, or suggestions. It often makes people feel good when they help out in some way. Then you can invite them to play a game when the project is complete. Maybe make a video of the process and invite us to watch it. $20 for cardboard seems a bit steep but, that's the world today.

All I meant from commentary was my speaking or commenting throughout the video regarding how to play and what the game means to my wife and I. Perhaps I could have chosen a different word but, that is all I meant by 'commentary'.

You're so nice to say thanks. It's great to hear you want to share with family and friends. I think it's a great family game. Sometimes we play with someone that gets behind and sort of gives up and puts a marble in someone's triangle out of spite. It usually makes for an awkward moment but you can give positive encouragement to motivate them to move out. Or you can mention, before the game starts, that camping out for an extended time in someone's triangle that is not their destination is against the 'house' rules.

It's a different feeling. It makes your mind start thinking in so many different ways. Thanks for commenting and enjoy the game.

Thanks for the positive feedback

I don't know the 'official' history of it. I learned it from my wife about 27 years ago. She is from Shanghai. She said her mom taught her.

My dad made this when I was a kid about 50 years ago. The other side is is painted as a chess/checker board.

@@landrytheaveragereasonable6735 wow incredible that makes your board even more special 😁👍

You're welcome, thanks for the feedback.

I found your video that is easy to understand. Thanks!

Hi Chet, I do not have any written directions to share. Yes, to answer your question. It seems like this style of play creates a whole new game from the single jump style of checkers. You can really feel your mind working the alternatives. So happy to hear you two are enjoying it.

We love the comment! So glad you enjoyed watching.

That sounds similar to what my problem was. Do you have two filaments in the light bulb? Maybe one of the filaments is bad. I would welcome any comments from other viewers.

@@landrytheaveragereasonable6735 Thanks for your reply Landry! I switched bulbs, same thing, Im going to check the ground connection in the lamp next.

Thanks for sharing. If you want to mention a brand name or where you got it, that would be great too.

Thanks for the feedback

Sharing life's experiences is a beautiful thing. I'm glad you got some benefit out of this video.

Once I got introduced to this version of play I have not played the traditional way since. Thanks for the nice note.

Thanks so much for sharing that. Environmentally friendly and effective...you can't ask for more.

Love the story...thanks for sharing

You're welcome. You saying 'thanks' makes me feel great about making the video.

Be careful what you wish for. Wish you good luck with whatever you decide.

Tried to teach my girlfriend, but it was hard since I don't have one. Best of luck

@@landrytheaveragereasonable6735 also, research continually refer to how men who are single do not live as long as men who have a spouse ... it reduces suicide risk as well.

@@z0uLess Those are certainly persuasive arguments and there are additional benefits as well. But, just like so many things in life, it's hard to give full and meaningful representation to the institution of marriage by citing research related to narrowly focused aspects of it. Please don't think I am trying to be contentious here (I think I am just in a mood today) when I comment that yes, living a long life is desirable but, you should want to consider the quality of that life as well. For those fortunate enough to be involved in a healthy, productive, and successful marriage (or any sort of partnership) - that's wonderful. Statistics indicate that nearly half of all marriages end in divorce. I am really only doing a disservice to this topic by spouting off a couple of thoughts. It really is imperative to avail yourself of the multitude of books, articles, etc. that are devoted to all aspects of 'relationships'. When you reference 'research' in your comment, that tells me that you are availing yourself of just that. I wish you well. I also recommend you check out my videos relating to 'fair fighting' and communication. Try this link - ruclips.net/video/igRQ_6izCT0/видео.html

I would guess that the approach should be similar. It could be a bad LED (which I don't know how to test for) or there is a bad wiring connection. We would all be grateful if you would follow up on your efforts.

Thanks for watching the video and commenting. This company doesn't mean anything to me one way or the other. But, when we bought two cases of this fogger and they both preformed similarly I thought I should share the results and let other consumers decide if this was a product they wanted to put their hard earned money toward.

You are so nice to say this. I love to hear these types of comments. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
