I always come in last! But I chalk it up to my writerly mind not being visual, ie I can't look at random letters and make them into words, people! No, what writers do is take words and make them into art! If you want, you may use this excuse the next time you play Scrabble. :)Carleen Bricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01433203126527081458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084311190804567808.post-60081320439904552222008-01-01T16:22:00.000-05:002008-01-01T16:22:00.000-05:00Happy New Year, Ello!All the best to you and your ...Happy New Year, Ello!<BR/>All the best to you and your loved ones!Vesperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417602625059442986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084311190804567808.post-4407027921256348362008-01-01T14:49:00.000-05:002008-01-01T14:49:00.000-05:00Ello,Secretly buy a Scrabble dictionary and study ...Ello,<BR/>Secretly buy a Scrabble dictionary and study the weird words.Danette Haworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13220718895967380788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084311190804567808.post-17744202668647085682008-01-01T11:01:00.000-05:002008-01-01T11:01:00.000-05:00happy new year girl!happy new year girl!Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05716215892504806470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084311190804567808.post-80270697194134310202008-01-01T09:36:00.000-05:002008-01-01T09:36:00.000-05:00As a once "addicted to Scrabble" girl, I found thi...As a once "addicted to Scrabble" girl, I found this absolutely hilarious.

I feel odd putting those words together in a sentence, but there you go.<BR/><BR/>I cheat all the time with my husband, though I'm actually throwing the game. He gets very irked if I win too many matches and very babyish about it. I hardly ever play cards with him anymore because it's no fun to throw and he's no fun to beat, either. The worst though, was shooting pool. To this day, he thinks I can't play. Actually, I was a very good player in my early twenties enough so that people would ask me to play on their team if there was money on a game... When hubby and I were first dating, he was so competitive about it that I threw the game miserabley... I mean, seriously, a blind amputee with a spastic colon could have shot better stick than I was doing that night. I've never played with him since...<BR/><BR/>Come to think of it, I'd rather need to win than feel obligated to lose...

One day he caught her cheating at cribbage, at which point she knew he was an adult and began to treat him accordingly. She told him that learning how to cheat well was very important. The fact that he'd finally caught her showed how mature he was becoming -- a real rite of passage.<BR/><BR/>Why is it so many men have trouble with subtitles?
