> It?s that time of the month again, time to have fun playing a game where you answer thought-provoking questions that Bonnie found on Bookshare. Participants can also bring a few questions to throw out to the group. These are feeling or opinion questions with no wrong answers, and we play in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. If you?d like to join us, we?re playing again this wednesday at 9pm eastern time and 6pm pacific time. Just call 605-475-6777 and enter 3864263 when asked for an access code. That spells out fun game. You can come with or without questions, but come on and join the fun. You never know what you?ll learn about your fellow listers.
