Word-pox
Mancklin:
Greetings all!
I've been playing for a while but it took me months to figure out how to post here.
Am I the only conflicted Chihuahua player on the board? You all seem content to be spending hours--perhaps only minutes for some--with letters flying around inside your heads--when a part of me feels that more constructive things ought to be going on in my head, at least. (The other part is very happy not to be making any further efforts at creativity or engagement with the world or earning a living.)
Also, although I love the new format with the little rosettes for finding all the "common" (ha bloody ha) words--(nong? give a break!)--this entails a further mild torture when one simply cannot find the last elusive word or two--or three, today.
What oh what can they be? I have shuffled and shuffled until my index finger is sore. I will fix myovertaxed brain on the letters as I ride the train to the dentist. I can cut the agony short by looking at the solution--or worse, and a sign of utter moral corruption, by going to a word unscrambler--but then I will know that I could have tried harder, that I was a quitter.
The name I hereby give to this affliction is word-pox.

Welcome, Mancklin. I notice that you did make new word suggestions in the past, so you are quite a capable player.
Why was it hard for you to get into the posts? I'm wondering how many other players have had the same problem.
As for conflict, I'm sure that to some degree, we are ALL conflicted about being here, yet, in the big scheme of things, it's really better than robbing banks, and I don't know how many of us have a cure for cancer or the Next Big Thing at the tip of our tongues.
It's also a compelling website because Alan really works hard to improve the game for our enjoyment, and actually interacts with the players. That's a refreshing note compared to others where there's just you and your game.
Cheers, and feel free to keep posting.

Wel B-B-B, if I may be so bold--
I do hope my whingeing little post didn't come across as ungrateful to the creator of the puzzle, which I obviously find totally compelling; moreover, the fact that one can glean information about other players in these posts is quite delightful. No, if it wasn't so much fun, and getting funner all the time, there would be no conflict.
As for the posting difficulty--I don't know, I guess I didn't try very hard. You have to look quite hard for the "New topic" button. When I finally decided to post I went to the help button and found out how to do it. I mean it's not an orange flashing button with silhouettes of people taking off their clothes or anything like that.

Hi Mancklin
I'm just back from London,
Didn't bother saying hello to the kids, unpacking, making a cup of tea or checking my post...just came right here...Am i a wicked mother? do i care?.....
And found a new Poster....you...
What really caught my eye was the sentence about people taking their clothes off.... :-[
I am getting sadder...[more frustrated] by the day.....
A BIG welcome from me too...now you have found us hopefully we will hear from often.
Welcome aboard.
T ;)
Mancklin:
Oh Technomc I knew someone would understand.
See here are my poor whippets, whining to be taken out; the ferret hasn't been cleaned out in days and as for the hermit crab--luckily the little flies that come out of its aquarium get eaten by the iguana, which more or less takes care of itself.
