it's a great past time. You learn a lot and it keeps your brain active!

Every once in awhile I'll go through and delete the ones that may not be active, and look for new ones. If anyone has an suggestions, let me know!

@GuardianAngel When the word games first became popular, I sent one of the mods a complete listing of word games from another site. It is several pages of topics and I remember there were some really good ones. I think it was Linds911. I can PM you with the list if you want.

I am going to Toronto in June for a week. Anyone lives there? Can you please PM me so I can ask some questions. Thanks!

Happy Mothers Day to all mothers!

What's been happening in my state is just awful. The shootings and wildfires, and now the air quality is just unbearable.

My friend just moved into her house about a month ago in the small town of Magalia near Paradise, CA. She called to say there was a fire and she was evacuating. I told her she could come stay with me, I'm in the Bay Area. As we have watched on the news, both towns were decimated. Very few structures remain standing. We (mostly me because she couldn't bear to look) have been watching the CalFire website that lists the status house by house (with photos) of which ones were destroyed, which ones were damaged and which ones had no damage. Its seemed like her street and the surrounding streets were some of the last to be updated. Yesterday, the houses behind her were posted along with the photo (all of them destroyed). I then had the thought that if I could see the photo of the house behind her, where their backyards butted up against each other, I could see if her house was there or not. I had very little hope because there really aren't any houses left standing. I clicked on the picture and enlarged and started to see through the smoke and trees a little patio and love seat. Then I could see some windows and parts of a roof. I compared the picture on the CalFire website with some of the pictures of the house she sent me when she moved in. I showed her the CalFire picture this morning pointing out the house in the background and she started crying saying it has to be hers. Today she got confirmation that her house was still standing. She was so happy, and thanked me for showing her the picture. She called me a Super Sleuth! I told her that it was all my years in "Bachelor Sleuth Training" and this awesome board that led me to enlarging and comparing photos!
