Perfect in Patience

Kelsey introduced me to an online game called Patience.  It's a rather complicated version of solitaire.  I've spent waaaay too much time in the last month playing this game.  It's as frustrating as it is addicting.  Not even Mr. Packer, the gifted teacher at Irving, has been able to find a pattern.  I finally conquered it this afternoon!  The problem is, I can't even tell you how I did it, it just sorta happened, and that makes the win just slightly less sweet.  You would think that since I won, I'd be able to walk away, but I just can't.  I want need to figure out how I won.  I think I might need an intervention.

Beyond :-)

I've known for awhile that I could ;-) and :-0 when I type (that's wink and gasp for those who may not know), but  I had no idea about the creative lengths people have gone to to create pictures with symbols.  While IMing my neice this afternoon, she shared this with me.  Who knew I could include sharks, robots, penguins and even Pacman in my chats on Facebook?   I also learned how to make a fish and a mansion. 

This has the potential to be a dangerous addiction.
