Hey, Hangman Gang!
Our very own
RabidWolff of the Wolf Pack has designed a new Eagle Eye Token
for the folks who play any games in the Hangman Suite and find "misteaks" made by li'l ol' me in compiling the lists. The theory is that you find 'em, I assemble 'em, and I submit the errors to our "tech department". I've assembled lists, but because of the enormous job of reworking the code, they have not been put into effect as yet. So, if you spot an error (in the game - not here!) then go to the { Board: Hangman } DB and let me know! You are allowed to have one of each token.
but be nice please, I'm only human, sort of...
PS - I just love the twinkling eye! Thanks, RW!
* If you have a question about a site tip or helpful tool you would like answered next month, please send GoldToken's Newshound a message before the 25th of this month.

**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**
We would like to say
to
sparkles43 for letting us step into their personal life for a bit.
1. What brought you to GoldToken, and how'd you choose your name for GT?
- I needed to learn to relax
and I thought this was the way to help me sit still for awhile. I chose my name from people telling me I had sparkly eyes 
followed by my age at the time.
2. What interests you most on GT? Do you have a favorite game?
- The variety of games; I never knew so many games existed. My favourite is hard to say, any form of dominoes I guess
3. What state or country do you reside in? What do you think tourists should definitely see?
- I live in the South West of the United Kingdom. Great Britain Tourists should visit Agatha Christie's holiday home where she wrote all of her novels...the grounds and her house are beautiful

- Hobbies are games of course
, embroidery, badminton, racket ball, squash and walking 
5. Children? Grandchildren?

who will be 38 this year and two grandsons, one is 19 
and the other is 9

- Yes I work full time in tourism, I have done this for thirteen years. I work both with the visitors and the businesses, it is very rewarding
7. Any pets?
- I have one cat
called Mitzy. She is ginger and white striped, lovely markings, and she will be 4 in July
8. Are you under 30?___ 30 to 50? ___ or over 50? Male or Female?
- I am female over 50,
it is my birthday (April 24th) belated.
9. What's the farthest you've been from home?
- The furthest I have been away from home is Italy, a skiing trip
when I was just 16
10. If you could be anywhere right now, where would that be?
- If I could be anywhere right now, I would be touring the coast of the UK - the views are amazing, I love being by the sea and hearing the sound of water
11. Favorite season?
- My favourite season is Purple Flower, when all the blossom starts to come out and colour all of the trees etc.
12, Favorite movie? Favorite TV show?
- My favourite movie is Dirty Dancing, I have lost count how many times I have watched it. I don't watch a lot of TV but do love Strictly Come Dancing and Strictly Ice Dancing
13. If you could meet anyone (living or dead) in the world, who would it be?
- If I could meet anyone in the world, I would love to meet my mum & dad again, I miss them both so much.
- (if this has to be someone famous I would love to meet David Essex he is one of my fav artists)
If there are any questions you would like to see asked in future interviews, please let us know.
