Free Cell is the only computer game I play and I wouldn't even play that one if my husband hadn't pointed out my win average. Since he pointed this out I have become totally addicted having to keep it at a certain level. Sudoku is equally addictive for me and I limit myself to playing it only on vacations. Jigsaw puzzles have been my life-long passion and are the most relaxing for me. It has been proven that even putting two pieces together produces Seratonin in the brain which helps with learning and memory issues. Maybe this is why I can remember phone numbers so well.
