Welcome, Jacki
pat:
Welcome to the forum, Jacki. I see you’ve already made your first post so don’t be a stranger!
Alan W:
Yes, welcome Jacki. It's good to hear from you.
Jacki:
Hello Pat and Alan. Thanks for the welcome. My sister-in-law is Doxsydaisy and she got me hooked on Chi when she came to visit in September 2016. It took me a while to get the hang of the plurals - other word games I'd played hadn't included them.
Can I say how very much I enjoy this pastime? I've learned a lot. My mother sadly passed away later in that same September and the game has helped me to keep my mind occupied.
My dad is a retired teacher and we often talk about different words - for example recently the main word was tragedian and is one I hadn't really thought would be a common word, and he often gives me word ideas from a boating perspective (keen fisherman in earlier years) but alas these often aren't common words!
Anyway thanks again. Cheers Jacki

Hello Jacki,
I would also like to extend a belated welcome to you.
I still struggle with the " bloody plurals " but am improving ever so slightly.
We all love playing Chi for a variety of different reasons, not the least being as you say " to keep your mind occupied ".
And of course there is the added bonus that after you have played all the day's games you can find a lot of further distraction by reading the forum particularly if you engage in the " More or Les " thread.
My sincere condolences on the passing your mother, i lost mine just over 12months ago.

Jacki:
Thank you Les, and my sincere condolences regarding your mother. It's funny, my mum was so competitive that we couldn't play Scrabble together - she would complain about the "funny" words I knew! We settled on Yahtzee - the rules are pretty black and white! But I've inherited the competitive streak and Chi helps me to satisfy that some days!
