I've written before about my various addictions, including drinking good coffee, buying bras, traveling repeatedly to Australia, and working crossword puzzles. To name just a few. What I really love is when technology meets my social circle in such a way that others are inspired to feed my addictions. Win win.
That's just what happened when a friend texted me and told me to install Words with Friends, an app that let's you play Scrabble with friends near and far. This weekend I had four games going at once. It wasn't nearly enough. It only whet my appetite for more.
More. More. MORE.
I now live for the little "ping" sound notifying me that it's my move. It has been known to rouse me from a deep sleep. A sleep in which I had been dreaming of covering a triple-word tile with the word 'oxyphenbutazone'.
So I'm hearby issuing a call to anyone with this app to search for the username 'kbxmas' and initiate a game. Friendship makes all things better, including addictions.
Come on. Ping me, baby.

It is so very addictive isn't it! I have just pinged you, lol (as Pen wins)
ReplyDeleteNow that sounds like another great way for me waste an incredible amount of time!! I'll send you a request as soon as I get it set up :-)

Yay, another person to play with! :)
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo!!! Thanks guys! And @Photographer Mum, I was wondering who 'Pen Wins' was, lol.
ReplyDeleteI have had to turn the 'ping' off. My husband was going crazy when it kept going off!!

ReplyDeleteI love Words With Friends, although I do get terribly annoyed with it when it sometimes won't accept words that are in the dictionary, and yet it let my playing partner spell Piranha without an 'h' which isn't a word at all
ReplyDeleteWell I have pinged you too - but for another addictive and fun word game try "hanging with friends" I love it.
ReplyDeletei will try to join the group later. . .

ReplyDeleteOxyphenbutazone? Whoa baby. You're way out of my league.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a ping for a very, long time. TMI?
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Words with Friends, which is probably a good thing. I like Scrabble, but I'm not that clever at it.
ReplyDeleteI am putting my social media foot down WL..........
ReplyDelete@no-one - it let me spell 'sext' last night. Didn't take long for that word to enter the lexicon!
ReplyDelete@Recycled Relix - oh no, you're trying to create a new addiction for me? Naughty. But thanks for 'pinging' me! Love the idea of playing a game with someone in Taz.
@Maid in Austalia - yeah, I know baby. I have to get my pings from word games. Sad.
ReplyDelete@Woog - too late, I've got 9 games going now. Behold the power of blogging!
It spells disaster? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI've had to step away from Words With Friends because of it's addictive properties... it was taking valuable time away from Twitter.
ReplyDeleteI'm limiting myself to playing a few moves in bed at night... that's not a euphemism, by the way.
@Glowless - lol! S'ok, I'm up to 10 simultaneous games now, after posting this last night!
ReplyDeleteI've never once made any woman go ping - and I'm not about to start now...
ReplyDeleteI've had to wean myself off. Was taking up every waking moment for a while there :)
ReplyDeleteUp to 12 games now. I may have to quit my job to keep up...
ReplyDeleteA few days late but thought I'd join in on the fun to see if you are cured of your addiction yet.
ReplyDelete@Amanda - now have 15 or 16 games going at the same time. I think I'm satiated (tho not cured)!
