Andrea and I wish to say  to the 1st and 2nd place holders in Mahjong.
We've had alternate shifts playing the game with much wine and think it's roughly 5 hours in total.  We cleared all the tiles and got 1648. "You're glass is empty again" I said "Top up?" "Yes". No 'please.' was uttered at all.
Minusmetoo, your avatar was nearly defaced upon our screen this evening but I had to hold back the marker pen and explain why that would be silly.
Andrea has since gone to bed looking glum and feel she might be addicted. "More wine ? " I pleaded. "No thanks, early rise." she said. I think she wants to get up early to deface your troll thingy.  |

LOL...
minusmetoo is sleeping but she will get a kick out of your post.
She's been playing mahjong for a LONG time. It's her favorite game. It's amazing to watch her play. She moves so fast I can't even tell how the game is played. It's kind of like the movie 'rain man' if you've ever seen it.
Good luck. She needs the competition!!!!!

I have the feeling competition will be ruthless Ron. I can now sit back, watch and laugh and maybe learn a thing or 2.
After 16 years of marriage, I've never seen her in this light. I'm scared.
Happy new year. |

BTW... I should clear something up.
The second place score doesn't actually belong to me. Minusmetoo forgot to log me out of her computer before she won that score. She was so pissed she logged in as herself and played until she beat it... LOL
Let the games begin!!!!

I will deface minusmetoo's avatar myself LOL
We bought the set of tiles while away, which was not inexpensive. Read the rules and wish I hadn't.    |

LOL..... me too!
aarrggghhh ! that name keeps popping up 
Our youngest daughter Shannon is her name !who is 5 yrs old loves a certain book read to her every night about a little girl who makes her big brother share every thing he has and does with her by muttering 2 words and ends up driving him crazy.
The books title is..."Me Too"
Please tell me it's just coincidence. |

I like playing this, but find the tiles are hard to read, and the "orange" highlight is not enough to see the available tiles. Maybe a different color like blue or green would be easier to see.

Hi quanquan,
That is so awesome!! I've always been a fan of mahjong. It's one of my all time favorite games. I've played it since I was very small. I've always wondered what some of the symbols meant. I'll have to look it up sometime.
Shannon :-) |
