Talking

I have this in my favorites...it's rather addictive...I keep thinking that I gotta STOP and end up with thousands of rice grains!

Of course, some of those rice grains were lucky guesses!

THIS game I can do...just don't let me fly a helicopter!!

ROFL!!!! Been there, done that...

Go fly a helicopter!

OR, there's a "Hangman" game that changes for the holidays: Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas...

BUT, that Rice Grain is the worst of the lot for stopping...for some, there may have to be "rehab!"

P.S. DON'T FORGET to BLINK when using the computer!!!

Renee, Shi probably has that link. I checked but I think I have already deleted it. It drove me crazy.

For the past many days I can't stop it. If you noticed I haven't even been on PT all that much te past few days. This is so addictive but I've donated some tens of thousands of grains of rice.

Ohhhhhhh - NOW you tell me!! Where were you earlier today huh? I've been going back to this game every time I get a 5 min break from work and it's making me nutty.

Of course, let me know if you find other equally addictive games (from the Obsessive Compulsive side of moi )

Very addictive and now in my favourites!

I told myself that I was going to have an early night tonight as I'm tired but found this link half an hour ago and earned 520 grains before making myself quit to go to bed......and I'm just as late as ever!!

Goodnight,

Lindi

Thanks for the helicopter link Nona - now I'll have to try the darn thing again. It is really hard.


Night-night Lindi....and Jax and Paddy!

Cool!! What's everyone's best score? After figuring out how to make it go up and down, I got to 230........that's the best so far.

Just got 464!!
Just got 542!!

This is FUN!!!!

679!!

I think the hard part is learning that you don't have to move the mouse with the copter.......just hold the mouse still and click (or not) the left button.........you'll sail right along.........
