My original comment containing the rules was deleted, so I wouldn't blame anyone completely for not knowing that they have to ask a question. On the other hand, instead of letting them know politely what they should be doing, I wouldn't say it was rather pleasing to see that you just asked them to not play and finally refused to ask a question just because someone else did not. Mistakes happen, but it is not going to hurt you to correct them kindly. I understand you told them once, but that is not the way you treat a game.


message 35: by Carrie (new)

Carrie Lynn Bacon (clhayton55) | 100 comments I follow James Patterson and Jack Patterson. I've been reading James Patterson books since 2002 and Jack Patterson books since 2015. I believe I have all there books. If someone suggests a book and it sounds good to me then I'll borrow it from my local library. Read all the Harry Potter series and currently reading the new one called Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Borrowed that from the library. It's a really great book and I'm at 77� right now. This is my fourth day reading. But I've read a few Dean Koontz books but I usually stick to James Patterson and Jack Patterson.


message 36: by Carrie (new)

Carrie Lynn Bacon (clhayton55) | 100 comments Also I read periodically throughout the day. My best time is in the morning and night and if I get time in the afternoon.


message 37: by Carrie (new)

Carrie Lynn Bacon (clhayton55) | 100 comments I'm can also be a quick reader, since I've been reading since I was 13 and I'm 34 now.
