Smile Any suggestions for brain exercises?
What do you do to keep your brain busy? I find that it really does seem to help sharpen my sometimes dull thinking process (or maybe I just think it does). Do you know of good websites for puzzles and such? I like crossword puzzles and word games, and I'm not very good at number puzzles like Sodoku.

Thanks!

I COULD USE SOME BRAIN EXERCISES.............

I SWEAR THAT I CAN HEAR MY BRAIN RUSTING AT TIMES AND THE CELLS PLOTTING AGAINST ME.
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN THOUGH...............

I WRITE THE STATES AND CAPITALS FOR THE FUN OF IT.
IT ALWAYS MAKES ME WORK THE BRAIN MUSCLES.

Curious,
You picked a perfect site for me to work out my brain. Math is a challenge to me big-time. So I will have some really great looking head muscles from this site. Any math challenges my brain to the max. I will print some things out to take to Mayo. I am sure that there will be a lot of down time. Math has always teased my brain.
Thanks friend,
Jude

This site - http://www.addictinggames.com/

Has a TON of games that are all free. There are several catagories (including a puzzle catagory).

My other favorite online games site is pogo.com They also have several free games in several catagories, and I like them better than the Yqhoo games because the graphics and options are much better in my opinion.

Hope that helps

Liz
