It's said that we only utilize a small portion of our brain potential. Do you have any favorite "activities" to help keep you "sharp" & clear minded? I enjoy Sudoki, find the difference or find the item type pictures, non-violent video games, doing puzzles online and boxed, I am not very good with riddles (they give me headaches :) tooooo much thinking I quess. So what are your favorite mind/brain strengthing activities?

I really don't have any exercise. But, I do read a lot. And, sometimes my husband and I will play scrabble. That makes you think. Even MyLot is good, as we have to think of good responses and posts. That's exercise, right?

I agree totally, I am finding mylot to be very intellectually stimulating on so many levels. And scrabble is a great game, my husband and I like dominoes and he helps me along alot with my video games, he sits next to me and tells me what I should do next -- it doesn't really like to actually play, just likes to give advice. :)

CRYPTIC crosswords! Some people say you need a twisted mind to do cryptic crosswords, but I LOVE them. Does that mean I have a twisted mind?

I don't know, I've done some cryptic crosswords in my time, but I have found that the twist my already twisted mind and I just wind up with a knot of a brain :)

Yes I do many things to exercise my brain. I do puzzles, play games, read, learn new things on the computer and write. I am very hyper and must be doing something at all times to utilize my brain. There are days I make my brain hurt and just have to veg for a few hours. I think it is very important to keep the brain cells stimulated, so I plan to always do something mental.

I enjoy reading, a gift to me from my Mom and learning is great, I try to learn one new thing each day (keeps me young and humble lol) -- Have you found any really good puzzle sites online?

You know, I play chess - but it must be the "little kid" in me I get so very upset after all my planning and thinking and I still lose (I know I'm just not real good at it) -- My mom and stepdad played chess faithfully each day for gosh I think almost 36 years. It has been eons, since I was programming, actually -- but you are certainly correct in their similarity to puzzles. Thanks, and best wishes :)
