IF YOU LIKE WORD GAMES YOU'LL LOVE THIS

Advantages: Four games on one disk, will not date and therefore you can still enjoy playing it in years to come - assuming that the system requirements allow you too
Disadvantages: I haven't come across any

At work I don't have access to the Internet so I decided to dig out some of my old PC games and install them at work to play when I have 5 minutes spare to laze about. One of the games I dug out was a word games disk that I used to play a lot before we got the Internet at home, since having the Internet I don't think it has seen the light of day, until this week when I dug it out. The game is simply called Word Games For Windows, it is Manufactured by Guildhall Leisure Services Limited and is sold in CD ROM Format.

Review of Words of Devotion - Keiko Konno

Searching for words and finding peace.

Advantages: n/a
Disadvantages: n/a

Searching for words, and finding peace? These are poems I wrote during quite a difficult time in my life, touched on already in my afterlife review. I have never shared them before, but felt somehow compelled to put them up here. I would love to hear your thoughts on them, and thank you for reading them. Kate x Blue Songs Conversation. The man who lives across the road from us steals cars. Sells drugs to teenage boys. Beats his wife and children black and blue. But that's okay because my father is dying and it gives us all something else to talk about. ********** Mother Returning I find everything much the same. The window sills are still yellow bright as the face of the sun. The kitchen too - mother needs its glow to hold a smile. The geranium slips in the babysham bottle have ...
