Free rice

a. keeps you occupied
b. is a charity that feeds the poor

it is a win-win situation!

Go ahead, try it!

All those years of studying for the GRE using the olds Baron's Guide came in handy!

I was going great guns till the word "gelt" stopped me dead in my tracks. (I had made one mistake on the way and the system gave me a few tougher words before it let me get back to the same level). I also lucked out once because I had narrowed the answer to one of two choices and I used Jr.'s algorithm,

aka

eenie, meenie, miney mo
catch the tiger by the toe!

Now, you can wake me up at 3:00AM in the morning and ask me "what does gelt mean?" and I will instantly say "Money"!, that is if I am not already awake at 3:00 AM!

Glad I found this site!

ps. We are all doing much better today than yesterday.

Thanks for all your wishes! - Sundar, Sangeetha, Jr., Little one, Washer and Dryer.
