Hypothetical Questions - There's a new board in GoldToken town you might want to check out, hosted by PattyMac! A hypothetical question is a question based on an opinion or personal belief, rather than facts. First question on the board is: "If you were a transformer, what vehicle would you turn into?" All kinds of possibilities with this question that players can come up with! Give it a try or stop by to see all the answers players give. Might be serious or give you a chuckle!
Warning Labels - Warning Labels - "A statement or event that indicates a possible or impending danger, problem, or other unpleasant situation: OR It can be silly, funny,
even ridiculous." Wow! Another new discussion board for GoldToken. We've all seen those labels on products, some even causing eye rolls. 
I mean, really?! Check out this board for some warnings that will tickle your funny bone or post your own that you remember or find online. Maybe even post an image of one you've found online.
Polls - Congrats goes out to Lil Red, for her poll, My choice for May's monthly poll is...! With more than HALF the votes, it was a landslide. Way to go!! You, too, could win prestige and a fancy Profile Token! Send your poll suggestion (a question and several possible answer choices) to Pollmaster for consideration.

My player name is Mignon. I am from Massachusetts, I joined Gold Token on June 22nd, 2002.
My favorite games are 121 pt. cribbage and backgammon and its variants. I also like a variety of card games, Ludo and variants, and word games. One of the things I like best about this game site is the wide variety of games offered.
I have not personally met many of the people from GoldToken, but I have made a lot of friends. Many years ago though, I did meet my friends sallyp and her husband Jim Specialsteel from England, when they visited Boston for Jim's work.I met them at the subway station and took them to Plymouth to see the Mayflower II, Plymouth Rock, and some of the other interesting sights that tourists enjoy in "America's Hometown". We are still friends to this day. I also belong to The Sallyp and Friends Club here on Gold Token.
I am also an animal lover, especially dogs. I have raised and shown Weimaraners for nearly 50 years in dog shows, obedience competitions, hunt tests, and also have done volunteer work with my dogs as registered therapy dogs.
Have a lovely day!
Mignon

| Testimonial Of The Month |
| Brought to you by: *GoldToken* Players |
My player name is Mignon. I am from Massachusetts, I joined Gold Token on June 22nd, 2002.
My favorite games are 121 pt. cribbage and backgammon and its variants. I also like a variety of card games, Ludo and variants, and word games. One of the things I like best about this game site is the wide variety of games offered.
I have not personally met many of the people from GoldToken, but I have made a lot of friends. Many years ago though, I did meet my friends sallyp and her husband Jim Specialsteel from England, when they visited Boston for Jim's work.I met them at the subway station and took them to Plymouth to see the Mayflower II, Plymouth Rock, and some of the other interesting sights that tourists enjoy in "America's Hometown". We are still friends to this day. I also belong to The Sallyp and Friends Club here on Gold Token.
I am also an animal lover, especially dogs. I have raised and shown Weimaraners for nearly 50 years in dog shows, obedience competitions, hunt tests, and also have done volunteer work with my dogs as registered therapy dogs.
Have a lovely day!
Mignon
