I am guessing that playing a PC Game would be classified as a Hobby because of all the hours & enjoyment I get out of it. I got "Hooked" on THE SIMS PC Game a few years ago & just LOVE how Maxis ADDS Expansion Packs to it each year. I have all but one now, totaling 7(Disks). My Favorite thing to do in the Game is Building Houses for my Sims to live in.
Than you can create a Family & move them into the new house and Help them thru their day by clicking on things to do. (I guess I'm kind of a "Control-Freak", LOL)
I tried the On-Line Version but didn't like some of the MEAN people I met. So I'm back to the Reg. version on my PC. Sometimes I play for 10 hours straight, so Be Warned, It's Addictive !!! LOL [Big Grin]
You can check them out on www.thesims.com Let me know IF you like playing, I can give you some Tips, ok ? Happy Simming !!! [Smile]

I'm currently playing at least 8 scrabble games online. For a while I was into JT's Blocks a lot, but that passed. I did like the geometric progressions though.

Danita, send me your email and I'll set the game up! You also need to tell me beforehand if we're playing honor system or dictionary (which is right next to the scrabble board.)

How do you play Scrabble on line? Last month I got into a Scrabble obsession with both my son and daughter, but they live out of state.

Danita, I'll set a game up Sunday night or Monday (long work weekend.) I've played literati -- different letter scores and smaller board than scrabble. I didn't like it for 2 reasons: 1. often I'd start a game and my opponent would disappear halfway through. Really annoying! and 2. I'd get suckered into these games where points were deducted if I didn't put a word down in 30 seconds, or some other hokum like that. The worst part is, no one would ever tell me the rules until I got blown away.

Hmmmmm,

Let's shoot for monday night - and you tell me where to go. (ha)

I will be up in the mountains on Sunday, don't know when (or if) I'll be coming down!

Is our time difference just one hour? (I'm on mountain time).

I lovvveee to play! I miss taking the time out to do it!

I agree about playing with strangers on Litterati. I hate when people bail out. It gives my internet rage! ha!

Send me the particulars!

Danita

You are so mod. I still dig out the board and tiles.

The only game I've ever played online is Solitaire.

Lady, I loved your comment about being a control freak. Explain how you play that with other people?!
