Letter from the Editor
by Matt Stephens full story | top |
|
Welcome to this month's edition of The On Ramp. Spring is nearly upon us, and I'm sure you are all as happy about that as I am - warm weather, sunshine, and being able to get out of the house without freezing. Along with all that, the sun will start taking it's sweet time setting in the evening, inviting you to stay outside longer. But you will still want to get on the internet to visit friends and do all the other fun things. If you have trouble with your internet when you return from playing, remember that Blue Mountain Internet is available more ways than before. We have live telephone support until 8 p.m. Monday through Friday (6 p.m. weekends), email tech support 24 hours a day plus live chat with our techs until 10 p.m. Monday through Friday (6 p.m. weekends). So play happily and know that we'll be here to help you when you need us. One more thing to keep in mind as you see your neighbors and friends more often. Each person you refer to BMI means $5 off your account. You could pile up enough referrals to keep your internet paid for all next winter. | |

Irish Shopping
by Katrina Moran full story | top |
| McQuillan walked into a bar and ordered Martini after Martini, each time removing the olives and placing them in a jar. When the jar was filled with olives and all the drinks consumed, the Irishman started to leave. "S' cuse me", said a customer, who was puzzled over what McQuillan had done, "What was that all about?" "Nothin', said the Irishman, "My wife just sent me out for a jar of olives!" | |

Scrabble Fun
by Carol Hall full story | top |
|
In our monthly newsletters, we provide you with a "Wordfind" puzzle, and also a "Crossword" puzzle. I know that many of you are "Word Gamers" because of the large volume of completed puzzles we receive. I particularly enjoy a good game of Scrabble, but sometimes grow weary of competing with the computer. However, trying to find a convenient time to meet with a Scrabble friend online can be hard as well. I ran across a fun site recently which allows me, and 1, 2 or 3 others to play Scrabble together and at our leisure. The way this works is simple. The scrabble board is emailed from one person to another. As each person takes their turn, it is sent to the next person and so on. The email contains a link that you click on, you log in, and presto your "in process" game is waiting for you to take your turn. You do not have to buy the game, download any programs or even be in a rush. Each player can take up to two days to play so it fits everyone's schedule. While the game is being emailed from person to person, there is also a place for you to send messages to those you are playing with. So, not only do you have fun playing, you get to keep in touch as well. I recently played a game with my sister who lives in another state. We had loads of fun playing scrabble and emailing messages back and forth. If you are interested please visit Scrabble and Enjoy! | |
