A NEW ADD ICTION

It's bad enough that many of us are addicted to alcohol, drugs, tobacco, food and the list goes on. Now I have discovered, to my dismay, that there are other, heretofore unexpected habituating things, to wit, BOGGLE.
The old game, is with a boxful of letters which when shaken allows one to select words. It is a fine competitive pastime, lots of fun with any number of players involved. Mildly addictive.
The new game is on the computer. It shakes the computer picture of the box and comes up with the letters. It then selects a competitor and gives one three minutes to select what words one can find. The more games one wins, the harder he competition.
I need help. I cannot stop playing. At night,w hen I should be asleep, I play the game in my mind. I no longer read or even watch TV. It's boggle time, day or night.
I want to thank my dear daughter Margie for starting me on this ruinous path.

I know! I got sucked into a little online Boggle the other day, and it took me over an hour to stop.

Boggle is truly evil. And my scores without the family behind me are nothing to write home about.
