Actually you need to set it so it remembers where you left off. It is under "settings" link.
My highest is a 39 but I haven't played in months. Shelley L. Rhodes, M.A., VRT And Guinevere: Golden Lady Guide Dog guidinggolden@xxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs for the Blind Alumni Association www.guidedogs.com----- Original Message ----- From: "Cindy" <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx>

The URL is http://freerice.com/The game and explanations and easy start is there. One nice thing about it is, in addition to the fact that you're having fun, learning new words that you'll probably never use in your life (when you get to some of the higher levels), and are donating rice to the food bank (presumably) is that the game remembers where you left off, so you don't have to start over at the beginning every time--unless months pass before you play again.Cindy--- On Sat, 8/9/08, Amy Goldring Tajalli <agoldringtajalli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:From: Amy Goldring Tajalli <agoldringtajalli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: OT: recondite To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Saturday, August 9, 2008, 8:27 PM I am also an autodidact but I did not send you the game so it was either another Amy, of which I have not seen or heard here, or your brother. I should not ask, since I have not the time and am already a solitaire addict but please do send me the game information. Sounds like fun -- It if be now, 'tis not to come, If it be not to come, it will be now, If it be now now, Yet it will come. The readiness is all. Wm. Shakespeare -------------- Original message from Rogerbailey81@xxxxxxx: -------------- By the way, I have described myself several times on this list, even though I may not have used the word, as an autodidactic computer user, but I assure you that what little I have taught myself about how to use a computer is one hell of a lot harder than my studies in history have ever been. In a message dated 8/9/2008 7:23:15 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, popularplace@xxxxxxxxx writes fun and in case you don't already have the information, please note: The Hunger site:http://www.thehungersite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=1&link=ctg_ths_home_from_ths_home_sitenav Here you can click on the rectangle and feed people, then after you get to the sale page look at the top and click on the Breast Cancer site and give free mammograms, free children's vaccinations, books, etc. The sponsors pay. All you have to do is click on the sites and on the rectangles, back and forth. I get a reminder and do this once a day. Thanks for the information and continued good luck with the self education. I am still learning. Amy omsm That sent me there, too. I've seen it and understood it in the context in which I was reading it, but I didn't really know it out of context. There's a wonderful word game someone sent me the URL of: free rice: http://freerice.com/index.php The words start at an easy level and get more difficult as one proceeds, and "For each word you get right, we donate 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program." (Amy, was it you who sent it to me? Or my brother.) It's addictive, so if one wants to get any validating done one must set oneself a limit--time or number of word sets.
