TGIFF.....Drama Queen Style!

Well, Peeps, it's another "Fun Friday" and what could be more useful (or amusing) in these stressful times with the amount of drama going on just about everywhere you turn?

Why, your very own Drama Button, of course!

P.S. I think this would make a great ringtone, don't you?

Let's Generate Some Hearts!

Ok, Peeps! Just in time for Valentine's Day !

The Candy Heart Generator

This fun little app is from the folks at Despair, Inc.who evidently have a slightly different (yet
amusingly twisted) view of things. You can save your hearts on your computer or email them to friends. Get creative! Enjoy!

Dangerously Addictive Word Game Alert!!!

If you like word games (and what bibliophile doesn't?) you might want to skip over this post if managing your time is a personal issue.

Over the weekend I found Babble which is an online version of the game known as Boggle. Babble, however, is played against the entire Net in 24 hour rounds. You must register to play but it is free. FYI: You can upgrade to Pro for a minimal price if you really get hooked.

With each grid you are given the number of words possible plus how many 4 letter (the minimum) & up words there are plus how many times each letter in the grid is used to start a word.

Sounds fairly simple? Wrong! This is a very challenging game that will make time literally fly by . . . so be warned.

Another very nice aspect of this game is the chat box on the right. Folks from around the globe play this game and are great at giving clues & encouragement.

Are you ready to give it a try? Go Babble!

Kind of gives one pause, yes?
