There is a new spy/clue game they are doing, and that is the map logo. I only know how to go there thro an email they sent to play the trial game.

I used to play this for hours and hours a few years ago...then one day I got this message and haven't been able to play since! I loved it too! Unable to Connect to Server Explanation: In order to play, the Java applet must open a network connection to our servers. The applet was unable to open this connection. This could occur if you are trying to connect through your company's firewall. Other things that might cause this error are that our servers may be temporarily down or that one of our other systems is currently unavailable. This problem might also be caused by Internet connectivity problems. How to Fix the Problem: There may be the possibility that one or more of our servers are not running. We typically try to keep the server downtime for maintenance and upgrades to under 15 minutes, and we apologize for the inconvenience. If you don't think that it's a server issue, then there are several things that could have gone wrong: The server just started up and is still initializing. Try playing the game again to see if you are able to connect. There is a network problem that is preventing you from reaching the game server. If you know how to use traceroute, you can try to find where the problem in the network is. Otherwise, you should try to play again later. Sometimes, major routing points have glitches in their systems that cause intermittent outages. If the problem persists for 24 hours, you should contact your network administrator or ISP for support. You are located behind a firewall or proxy server. If you are located behind a firewall or proxy server, you will not be able to play the game. The firewall/proxy is preventing the applet from connecting with the server (that is what the firewall is designed to do). This is typically what happens if you try to play from work. All you can do in this case is to play the game from an account that is not behind the firewall (for example, a home account instead of a work account).

A couple of things. I usually don't notice what someone else has in their carts. I have a 10 year old that talks non-stop so I cannot get easily distracted. Now, I have been miffed at friends that could not pay phone bills, electric bills, etc and were going out to eat every night. One family has 4 children and none of them like the same places so they drive around and pick up from different fast food places. At one time, I needed WIC and did not have the heart to abuse it even though some friends even encouraged it. I do get frustrated to hear someone complain that they are barely able to buy groceries, but they buy prepackaged hamburgers, etc, don't care what's on sale. I guess they are not too bad off. Someone mentioned thinking people were idiots because the assumption was that if they were driving nice vehicles that had on average $7k cc debt. I do drive a Tahoe, which is nice. I do use a cc, but it is paid off every month. We pay for everything we can with it and write one check. I hate owing people money. To me, it puts me at their mercy. I guess I figure I save in check costs anyway. I make extra principal payments on the mortgage. Other than the vehicle, I am fairly frugal. I never was a big spender, but going through several years as a single mom without child support and low wages has made me have a fear of being in that position again. Those days, stew and biscuits was a fancy dinner for DD & I. Now that DH & I do pretty darn well, I still cannot get past that. Besides, I just don't want to pay any more than I have to. I actually get excited by great deals. Weird, I know. I heard a preacher say one time-If you have a pantry or a freezer, you have more food than you can eat today. You are not poor. That stayed with me.

What exactly are you trying to download? Play OK supposedly is "free online games" you would play while online. I've never played there...Googled it when multi-player games were mentioned in the old games thread. Maybe Pogo would be better? I'm sorry you're having problems but don't think I can help.
