yonuh Member Registered: 06/14/06 Posts: 2447 Loc: Arizona	Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I just came across this site: http://www.freerice.com/ It's a vocabulary game (and very addictive, if you're into words as I am!) but with a twist: the sponsors donate free rice through the United Nations for every word you get right.

Eagle Heart Member Registered: 03/22/05 Posts: 4876 Loc: Canada	Thanks Yonuh! What a great idea! And you're right, it's very addictive - hard to quit when you know that every word gives more free rice. _________________________ When you don't like a thing, change it.

Eagle Heart Member Registered: 03/22/05 Posts: 4876 Loc: Canada	5500??? Way to go!!! I made it to 1500 and was mentally exhausted! But still felt guilty stopping. Do you think that's part of the obsessiveness, knowing that the longer you go the more people get fed? I put that link on my desktop, along with that site where you click for free mammograms and other charities ( http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/clickToGive ). It's good to know that I'm putting some of my computer playtime to good use! _________________________ When you don't like a thing, change it.
