Regaining Dignity

With a name like "Words with Friends", you'd think the game should be for a bunch of warm-hearted geeks. But no.

My 4 brothers-in-law, none of whom are geeky in the least, adore it. So I thought I'd join the party and be part of the family togetherness. Try to generate some sister-in-law love.

But believe you me, they are vicious! I'm welcomed with Dave firing "jaded" at me for 51 point while Jacob jabs me with "vertigo" for 59. And what do I have but 5 vowels and 2 useless consonants. People! What black magic are you conjuring? And why am I your victim? I thought this was about friends and words--not inflicting people with "what good was my college degree?" complexes.

So for those of you who need to regain a little dignity, I have a website for you.

It's not exactly cheating. Anyway, it's just a crutch for the first-timer against relentless forces. I finally got 39 points with "kiddo" and 24 points with "vealed". I'm trying my best to make a comeback here. So much for sisterly love!
