Re: Hi. I'm new here.

LOL. I've got to tell you the truth just because you'll think it's

funny too...hopefully. I picked this name because everyone needs a

semi-intimidating name when they play games on yahoo. When my husband

and I were separated (not in the ways of divorce, business on his end

and finishing college on my end made us live apart for a while) we

would play Literati on Yahoo every couple of nights during the week.

Since I already had that name from a couple of years ago, I just kept

it for this board too.

Wow and lonewolf, your stories are pretty frightening for

me, too! Right now, I don't have the luxury of living away from home.

I've likened my situation to Job. After I left my job (supervisors

hated me - which always sounds like an excuse, but it was the truth

this time), I moved back home. Almost exactly a month later (5 days

before Christmas), I totalled my car - which had been in the family

for the past 9 years...I was so devastated - I felt like I had lost a

family member!

Now, I have to drive my Dad's car (the only one that isn't a stick

shift..), which is an old BMW 750. Don't get me wrong, I'm fortunate -

I could be borrowing an old POS. It's black, beautiful and has a

kickin' sound system! I like to escape every once in a while...but it

eats up so much gas, it's ridiculous! I simply don't have the money

to keep it gassed up - it's on empty right now. And Dad's about to

sell it, too. Now, I actually found out today that I have the

opportunity to get a job, but, of course, I'm worried about this gas

guzzler of a car. My other car was compact and had great gas mileage.

So, I can't " run away from home, " like I did one time...It's just not

possible. And trying to ignore my Mom in this house is a huge sign of

disrespect...I'm glad the two of you have been able to separate

yourselves...right now, my boundary is my room, and Mom breaks that

one constantly, even though I've told her time and again!

I'm sorry that there are others out there who have to pick up the

pieces when someone is upset and is having suicidal thoughts...I've

been in that situation way too many times over the past couple of

months...

That is funny! What's Literati about??

Oh, mind if I jump in here - I love Literati...it's like an online

version of Scrabble...I think what's frustrating is that just about

anything qualifies as a word, even though it says they use a

dictionary. My fave game is pool. It's pretty fun...right here on

Yahoo! (Ha! I'm making a plug for Yahoo! Games.) These make for

definite stress relievers.

Literati is just like Scrabble basically. A few changes here and

there, but basically a word game. I love words and learning new words

and if it weren't for my love of language, writing and talking I don't

think I would've ever made it this far. But then again, my brother is

dysgraphic (brain has problems making it from thought to paper and his

handwriting's pretty bad) and he's doing pretty good now days too.

Kere- had a typo before

W-

I like Mah Jongg too but it takes a while to catch on- kind of like

Rummy or something. Gotta click on the English version though. We've

got the game here at home and play sometimes.

I will give it a whirl. I have another friend who also likes to play

it. I just started the daily crossword in the post again (need to

challenge the gray cells :-)) Looking forward to giving it a mental

shot.
