Not to brag or anything (please note that this phrase is always followed by a definite brag), but I used to be really good at trivia. Some might even say I was formidable. Thanks to my obsession with reading, I often could correctly answer questions that stunned my competitors. I got a little cocky about my skills.
But it seems that all good things must come to an end—I’ve been humbled by a game on Facebook called Quiz Planet. Oh, I still get plenty of questions correct, but I’ve lost my mojo. I don’t crush. I don’t dominate. And that’s driving me nuts. Is it my age? Is my writing distracting me? Have I finally lost all of my marbles?
I’m pretty new to the game, though, and I sense that many of the questions are repeated fairly often. So, maybe there’s a chance for me to become great again. I’m not betting money on myself. Not yet, anyway.
Peace, people!
Praying for Eyebrowz 
You should continue giving it a shot without getting distracted. You seem to be going the Trump way in this game Leslie — of becoming great again! 😉

I play a game on FB that had to be reworked because they used to use Flash. I had this idea that after playing for so long I was actually getting good at it. Either my brain and ability to see has taken a complete turn around since they updated or (I think this is really the answer) the creators took the update opportunity to make things much, much harder. I swear at my computer quite often now…

I’m no good at quizzes – far too slow and forget what I read anyway

I listen to a morning show on my 10-minute drive to work, and have it timed perfectly to coincide with their daily trivia contest at 7:45 a.m. It’s an entertaining commute and I usually do fairly well thanks to my vast repertoire of random and useless knowledge.

Lol! That’s awesome. I, too, have a vast repertoire of random and useless knowledge; just have a hard time accessing it nowadays.
