(It seems these games are very popular. I searched to make sure this one hadn't been around already)
DOUBLE LETTER GAME
We'll start with a word that has a double letter. The next person has to come up with a word that also has a double letter, but the word must start with the letter that was doubled in the first word..for example:
LeTTer - the next player would use the letter T, and make ToPPle, the next player would use the letter P and so on...sound good?
Let's give it a try. NO REPEATING WORDS! After about 20 posts no one wants to go back and see if a word is being repeated. Just try your best not to repeat and if you repeat something within the last 20 posts it will be disqualified** and you are not eligible to win the Gold Star, and the previous word will still be in play. **I have no idea who the heck will monitor this. Not me, I've got to get ready for a trip.
Here we go: LeTTer

An oolite is a sedimentary rock formed from ooids, spherical grains composed of concentric layers. The name derives from the Greek word oon meaning egg.
Ooids are most commonly composed of calcium carbonate (calcite or aragonite), but can be composed of phosphate, chert, dolomite or iron minerals, including hematite. Dolomitic and chert ooids are most likely the result of the replacement of the original texture in limestone. Oolitic hematite occurs at Red Mountain near Birmingham, Alabama along with oolitic limestone.
Some example Oolitic limestone, a common term for an oolite, was formed in the United Kingdom during the Jurassic period, and forms the Cotswold Hills and part of the North Yorkshire Moors. A particular type, Bath Stone, gives the buildings of the World Heritage City of Bath, England its distinctive appearance.
This type of limestone is also found in Indiana, USA. The town of Oolitic, Indiana was founded for the trade of limestone and bears its name. Quarries in Bedford, Oolitic and Bloomington Indiana contributed the materials for such iconic United States landmarks as the Empire State Building and the Pentagon. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument (Indianapolis) in downtown Indianapolis is built almost solely of grey oolitic limestone.
The famous movie Breaking Away centers around the sons of quarry workers in Bloomington Indiana, the home of Indiana University. Almost all of Indiana University is built with native oolitic limestone material.
