just wondering...

Here I sit at the dining table playing a game on Facebook. Yes, I like to play games on Facebook. Mindless, time killing games. In my defense, I do play scrabble with several people and would love to challenge my over seas friends, but scrabble won't share.. They have a separate game for North Americans and another one for Europe.  Haven't a clue why?!! Do you Europeans have strange words that it won't accept on our board game?  We have the word "Zen" that it rejects all the time and, for future reference, no matter how many time you yell at your computer saying "it's a word..hello..anyone there?", it still won't accept it.  Anyway, I am playing a mindless, highly addicting, game (candy crush) and I am running out of moves. Suddenly a notice will come on informing me that for my real $, it will give me 5 extra moves.  My question is, just how desperate do you have to be to pay real money for face money or turns or points. What would drive you to actually pull out your credit card and say "hey, what a great deal I have going here."  If you have a spouse that goes over the bills, what would be your reasoning as to why you just had to purchase 5 more moves for 99Cents.  I can just imagine the blank stare I would get from my husband. Hmm almost tempting to give it a try. Almost..not quite.  Hey time has passed, maybe I have earned more lives while doing other computer things. Yipee!!  Game on people!
