Just click the wanted sign for a quick link to app!
We truly appreciate all of our tds and staff!!!
Without great players and staff we wouldn't be Foreverspades!
Did you know? You can earn bux by referring new members?
The MyLeague Referral Program is a way for you to earn LadderBux just for bringing new members to your League. Whenever a new member signs up for a League, they have
the option of entering the username of the player who referred them. If they enter your name, then you'll be eligible to earn LadderBux for them joining the League.
After 30 days, if that member is still active on the League, then you will earn 1000 LadderBux Or, if the member decides to upgrade to a premium membership, then
you'll receive your referral LadderBux immediately!
So, if you're sitting in Beetle Spot, and see someone who might be interested in joining our League, be sure to say hi to them, and let them know about Foreverspades.
If you're friendly to them and they end up joining our League, you can earn some LadderBux for it!
Please remember you cannot go into another league lobby and
recruit. Recruiting illegally can be a strong boxing offense; but those in Beetlespot take time and help them, tell them they can put
you down as a referral and welcome to Forevers!!
IS IT YAHOO?
YAHOO is the location we as members of the league gather to play our games of spades. Yahoo is completely separate from
our league
and Cases/MyLeague.
If you have a "Yahoo issue" click yahoo help or ask someone if they have had similar issues. Due to Yahoo issues
and lag we sometimes have to move to the "alternate room" also located in yahoo but sometimes it works better.
Lately, we have had to move often due to yahoo. We appreciate
your patience and moving quickly so games can restart. The procedure for moving
to the alternate room is found in the staff links on the right side of main
league page.
The TD will put it on their messenger and on the tag board on
main league page. The link for the alternate room is on the league page and the
backdoor page.
Games that were in play will restart.
If it was close to being over the losing team can always concede to help the tourney move along but that isn't a requirement.
All games will restart as quickly as possible.
There are specific rules for subs etc just follow the td instruction for less confusion.
Admin worked very hard to be fair when it comes to Yahoo lag/boot policy.
Feel free to read it from the league page.
We all want fast fun games and tournaments.

Enjoying the colors of the autumn leaves?
The changing fall foliage is spectacular! Mother Nature never fails to delight us! Did you ever wonder how and why
a fall leaf changes color? Why a maple leaf turns bright red? Where do the yellows and oranges come from?
The leaves of trees and other plants contain three main pigments: carotene, anthocyanin, and the
photosynthetic pigment, chlorophyll, which captures the sun’s energy
to make food for plants. As the most abundant pigment, chlorophyll is what gives leaves their green hue in spring and summer. Another chemical in leaves, auxin, it
controls a special band of cells at the base of each leaf stem, called the abscission layer. During the growing season, auxin prevents this layer from fully developing
and blocking the tiny, internal tubes that connect each leaf to the rest of the tree’s circulatory system.
In fall, however, cooler and shorter days trigger an end to auxin production, allowing the abscission layer to grow and cut off the circulation of water, nutrients
and sugar to the leaves. When this happens, chlorophyll disintegrates rapidly, letting carotene shine through as the yellow in maple, aspen and birch leaves.
Anthocyanin, meanwhile, provides the oranges and reds of maples, sumacs and oaks. When there’s less sun, anthocyanin is not as chemically active and leaves are more
orange or yellow than red. But in the fall, because of changes in the length of daylight and changes in temperature, the leaves stop their food-making process. The
chlorophyll breaks down, the green color disappears, and the yellow to orange colors become visible and give the leaves part of their fall splendor. Leaf color comes
from pigments. Pigments are natural substances produced by leaf cells. The three pigments that color leaves are: chlorophyll (green) carotenoid( yellow, orange, and
brown) anthocyanin (red).
As the sunlight decreases in autumn and the cool autumn temperature take hold, the veins that carry sap into and out of a leaf gradually close. A layer of cells,
called the separation layer, forms at the base of the leaf stem. When this layer is complete, the leaf is separated from the tissue that connected it to the branch,
and it falls. The Oaks will be red, brown and russet, Hickories will be golden bronze, Dogwoods purple/red, Birch bright yellow, Poplar, golden yellow and the
Maples show a whole range of colors: orange-red glowing yellow and bright scarlet.
So Foreverspaders, as you walk outside in this wonderful Fall Season enjoy this wonderful spectacular color display of Mother Nature as she sheds her Colors!

Dear Andy,
My feelings are so hurt I don't know what
to do. Today a league member quit the league because I was his
partner ... u see Andy
all I play is league and my rating on yahoo is only 1476 .. I know I
play awful sometimes and we were losing badly especially with his 2
misbids ... but I try so hard to enjoy the game. I
feel horrible for losing today and not being able
to make up the 200 points his misbids cost us.
Please tell me what to do Andy as
I don't want other players to quit because of me.
Thank You Andy,
UPSET
Dear Upset:
I have been around this frog pond a long time
and there is one thing I have learned over the years and it's time you
learned it too. You have no control over the actions of others.
If they choose to withdraw from the league over losing a game, then you
shouldn't feel guilty or upset.
I will say this, I am sure this player felt so
bad about their misbids causing you both to lose, that they were
embarrassed and upset. I am sure that you would have a problem finding
anyone in the league that has not misbid, so rest assured, it wasn't
because of you that they withdrew. I am glad that you hung in there and
tried to make up for their misbids, but in this case it wasn't possible
to make up the 200 points.
So, as you can see, you did the best you
could and that is all anyone can expect of us.
ANDY
REMEMBER FOREVERS,
IF YOU HAVE A THOUGHT, CONCERN OR PROBLEM .... MAYBE ANDY CAN HELP ... SEND YOUR QUESTIONS TO
Maggy1035@yahoo.com
SHE WILL BE SURE TO DROP BY MY POND AND PASS THE MESSAGE ON TO ME
TILL NEXT MONTH FOREVERS
