It's awful and it makes life difficult, but it is what it is I guess. Perhaps some day I will stop it with that mind game and do more crossword puzzles ;) That said, I used to play a game called Text Twist where you had to come up with as many words as possible from a set of 5 or 6 letters in a certain time frame. Now I just make up words. It's more fun ;)Carolina M.

Don't know why. Maybe I'm afraid I'll fail. Only recently did I start trying to do jigsaw puzzles. The 25-200 piece kind. In otherwords, my kids'. Baby steps. It's all about those baby steps. <br /><br />Great post!Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-13868146892269178102010-04-13T09:29:40.634-05:002010-04-13T09:29:40.634-05:00Whenever I've begun any kind of puzzle, mind, ...Whenever I've begun any kind of puzzle, mind, crossword, word search, 20 piece, I find that I lack one thing that'll get me through it- patience.

Sure it's been done -- everything has been done. But it can never be done the same way twice because situations keep evolving and every writer will have a slightly different take on things. I'm arrogant enough to assume that my own interpretation will be different enough to be deemed a fresh take. <br /><br />If puzzles and dictionaries keep you from getting Alzheimer's, I'm in good shape. I fear genetics might trump mental exercises, but I'd love to be wrong about that.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.com
