I used to bowl regularly. After an arm injury I can no longer bowl. I was good at. The last I bowled was a few years ago; I tried to use my left hand and arm, but I'd have to practice to hone it.
I used to love bowling when I was younger. But now I can't because of my back and knees.

Yes, I know what you're saying. I don't care for bowling, hurts my small hands. Very difficult to handle the ball, way too heavy. Have a good day. :)

I used to bowl and liked it. I couldn't handle the bowling balls at the alleys either, I have a very unusual grip pattern and I have no control over very heavy ball so I had one made that suited my needs.
Hi tomandray, nice to see you back again.

Haven't go yet, but it has to Cox then to my outlook. Just checked about 1:30PM today!!!
Have been trouble with the phone, think some of it is due the rain, have had way more rainy days than the year in August this year. Will check it again later today. Have been shutting down when we are getting lightening, lots of it the month & lots of wind. At least the cooler than usual too, but will probably get back in the upper 90's soon.
Good to see you are back on again & off in the puzzles.

It's hard to keep things right and still have fun! Just do the best you can. My HS friend that had pancreatic cancer just had the last operation on Tuesday and it's ALL GONE! What good new for all of us. Don't know whether she will have to be on a special diet or not. Haven't heard yet. She has been fighting it for 2 years!

Got it today, sent reply! Hope you have a Great Day!
I formerly was a bowler on leagues and in general play.
My highest game was on November 12, 1981 in league play for 258. I had 7 strikes in a row, followed by a spare, a strike, a spare, and a strike and spare in the 10th frame. Groovy for a 32-year-old!!!!
I haven't bowled for a long time due to osteoarthritis in both of my knees and my wrists. I can't ride my bike, either, after 43 years, since September 2009.
When I worked with disabled kids, we took them to a bowling alley that was set up just for them. Most of the kids enjoyed it but for some it too hard. We helped them roll the ball down a ramp that went to the pin cage. These were kids in grades Pre-k -3rd. I miss working with these kids so much.

That was the age group my son was in when he bowled. It took me a bit to remember, but I remember they put what they called bumper pads in the gutters so no one ever got a gutter ball! Those were fun Saturday mornings watching the kids. I miss them too.
That is one colorful bowling set. I remember when you could find a bowling alley almost anywhere. Bowling was very popular years ago. People could not wait to play the game when they had the time. The bowling balls were not only big, but they were heavy too. That didn't matter though. Everyone had loads of fun.
We have one last bowling alley in the area. But I think it recently closed as there are no longer any cars parked outside. I used to bowl with a group of friends, youth group from my church. I was very good at gutter balls so whenever I actually hit a pin, it was a big surprise. I even managed to clear them all, and that was such a surprise that they were all laughing at my cheering and jumping around! Good memories of that group.

The only bowling alley that was left around where I use to live was in the next county and town. It was just a short drive from the town where I lived and that town that had the bowling alley. I only went there once as a kid with my family and didn't do so great. I used to live on the west coast, but I moved years ago. The Bowling alley where I live now, which is in the Midwest, closed down a long time ago due to too much snow being on the building and caving the roof in. No one ever reopened it.
