<br />
Must Pop Words is a clever game involving bouncy balls with letters on them along with a challenging penguin. But if you let 50 balls drop, it's all over! <br />

Who could ask for anything more? Give it a go ... and put your dictionary face on!<br />

Maybe I've wondered one too many times what my husband is thinking (which is almost never what I <i>think</i> he's thinking!). I've been at work and felt some one's eyes on me and am afraid they're thinking the worst when they're really thinking about the last episode of <i>America's Got Talent </i>and how they're going to get that stain out of their favorite shirt<i>.</i><br />
<br />
Sometimes people tell me things and I doubt what they say. Sometimes I want to know more than they are willing to say. Sometimes I'm just plain nosy - and please, God, forgive me for that!<br />
<br />
<b>So here's the question of the day:</b> <i>If you could have total access to some one's mind for 15 minutes, who would it be and why?</i><br />
<br />
Tell me what you're thinking and I won't need to pick you! As for me, I have to go with President Obama. Who wouldn't want to be a fly in the Oval Office?Rosiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13093409914601324423noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240784779836095990.post-87336615780174331162010-08-07T19:06:00.001-04:002010-08-19T13:45:50.077-04:00Okay, Gamers ...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjCmn8ezfJ9YyvxoD9M2W3MRL8HP9JZTtB3C-L0BRRgDgEMrF2CewM6dIABaR60mgveeqbEo52ydi_9ZpADH7O5B_T4EAzHrWTfyLjCc_YT6aGg27K0JqHMIjgQkjYLDAv9UaE-U0Yiwn1/s1600/hueshift-456.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjCmn8ezfJ9YyvxoD9M2W3MRL8HP9JZTtB3C-L0BRRgDgEMrF2CewM6dIABaR60mgveeqbEo52ydi_9ZpADH7O5B_T4EAzHrWTfyLjCc_YT6aGg27K0JqHMIjgQkjYLDAv9UaE-U0Yiwn1/s320/hueshift-456.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: right;">Put down your Wii-motes, pack up your Xbox, stop practicing fake guitar, and forget about your PS3 slim.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">For the record, I'm not a pirate ...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I thought <em>Uno</em> was a clever name for my first post. Still do. But it didn't end there. It lead to a mad Google search, which is part of what life's all about (albeit a minuscule part) - to find out the exact definition of uno.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Well, blow me down! Here's a sampling of what I found (with a thankful nod to Wikipedia). It turns out uno is more than just a number.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Uno may refer to:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">1. A card game</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">2. A political organization in Ecuador: <em><strong>U</strong>na <strong>N</strong>ueva <strong>O</strong>pcion</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">3. A bus company in the United Kingdom</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">4. A restaurant franchise (pizza anyone?)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">5. A small town in Kentucky</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">6. A song by Muse</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">7. A Swedish sports car - the <strong>UNO</strong> 001</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Just a few more ...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">8. <em><strong>U</strong>niversal <strong>N</strong>etwork <strong>O</strong>bjects</em> - the software component model used in OpenOffice.org</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">9. A cosmetic brand by Shiseido</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">10. A person's name, either first or last ("Yo, Uno! C'mere ...")</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I feel like David Letterman. "The Top Ten Uses for the Word Uno."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Enlightening ... and you heard it here first!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Uno ... and I'm out!</span>Rosiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13093409914601324423noreply@blogger.com0
