A 107-year-old Malaysian woman says she is ready to marry for the 23rd time because she fears her current husband might leave her for a younger woman. Wook Kundor made headlines four years ago when she married Muhammad Noor Che Musa, a man 70 years her junior in northern Terengganu state. As Kundor explains, "I am an aged woman. I don't have the body nor am I a young woman who can attract anyone." Read the full story at CNN.com...

Congratulations to Gamesviller Cindyrellie of Stevensville, Michigan, who scored a big DOUBLE jackpot yesterday playing Magic 21. Why a double jackpot you ask? Because she's a card-carrying GV Gold member, her jackpot was instantly bumped from a cool $777, to a hot $1,554 in cash money!

Useless Facts!

Cindyrellie's hometown of Stevensville was quite literally built from the ground up by its founder Thomas L. Stevens. In 1869 Stevens, originally from Tyngsboro, Massachusetts, purchased 160 acres in an area just south of St. Joseph, Michigan. In exchange for having a railroad depot built on part of his land Mr. Stevens sold a portion of his acreage to the Chicago and West Michigan Lake Shore Railroad Company for the sum of $1.00. In 1870, Mr. Stevens laid the village plot now known as Stevensville. Learn more about Stevensville, MI...

Gamesviller Scottiedog_10 from across the pond in Edinburgh, Scotland, recently won $4132 while playing Magic 21, and took a few minutes out of her schedule to talk with us about her big win.

What was her moment of victory like? What are her favorite Gamesville games? Find out below...

Gamesville: Congratulations! What was it like when you realized you won?
I was shaking and so excited! I never dreamt it would be me that won. I was fortunate enough to have some friends from Magic 21 be there to share the big win with me.

What will you spend your winnings on?
First thing on the shopping list is a new computer so I can play more Gamesville games. I'm using my daughter's old laptop at the moment.

What do you do for a living?
I stay home and look after my daughter's three dogs while she works. Love to do it because I love dogs and the free time also lets me play more games during the day.

What three songs could you listen to for the rest of your life?
My favorite songs are: Mandy by Westlife, Nobodys Child by The Alexander Brothers' and I Will Survive by Tina Turner. Three great songs by great artists.

What do you treasure most in the world?
My family, friends and pets.

What does your Gamesville member name mean?
Scottie because I come from Scotland and dog because I love all dogs.

What game would you like to see Gamesville make next?
Not sure, I'm just happiest playing Magic 21 or Hot Streak Solitaire. That is where all my online friends spend their time.

Thanks, Scottiedog_10 - and congratulations again on your win!

Useless Facts!

Njb0204's hometown of Wheeling is referred to in an episode of the sitcom Family Ties, set in Columbus, Ohio, when Michael J. Fox's character Alex P. Keaton says, "let's go down to Wheeling, West Virginia," because the legal drinking age in West Virginia at the time was eighteen, while in Ohio the drinking age had been raised to twenty-one.

Lots of babies will be able to celebrate being born on a date full of nines, but Alexander Robert Orient has a little extra distinction. Alexander was born at 9:09 AM on September 9th, 2009 at Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction, CO, meaning his birth certificate will forever read 09:09 on 09/09/09. Minutes after Alexander was born 2 1/2 weeks premature, hospital workers told a shocked Deana Orient and her husband, Patrick, the exact time of birth.

This week's Best Pet comes to us from Gamesviller Crickettot of Harrison, MI. Meet the muse for her Gamesville member name, Cricket!

Distinguishing Personality Traits

Crickettot says, "This little character is Cricket, our yorkie who basically runs my life. Cricket loves to have her picture taken and you always have to tell her she is beautiful! I have to cook her three meals a day and she never eats dog food--she clearly doesn't know she's a dog! When company comes over Cricket immediately assumes they are there to play with her. I love her to death, but she is very spoiled and I don't know how that happened! Sometimes I think it was easier raising my six kids."
