If you're having problems with Zynga's Scramble With Friends...

If anyone out there, like me, loves word games (Boggle in particular) and has had issues with Zynga's Scramble With Friends, I'd give Ruzzle a gander. It's very similar to Scramble With Friends, in that it's just like the game Boggle. Unlike Scramble With Friends, however, which allows players to use power-ups and gives the option of paying money for an extra minute of time in a round, Ruzzle doesn't offer such things. This is a good thing in my mind, because it seemed kind of unfair for some players to use a different number of power-ups than their opponents - especially if they doled out money for an extra minute's time in a round. In Ruzzle, it's comprised of three two-minute rounds, where two opponents, void of power-ups, attempt to find the most words on the grid.

Anyway, as long time readers of mine will know - I love word games - so, given the issues I've reported playing Scramble With Friends, I thought I'd pass this word around. If you have also had problems with the before-mentioned Zynga game, I'd download Ruzzle (free of charge) and give it a try.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
