I wish, I wish it were just one word - no flow.
It´s those last ten, twenty, forty words  :-[

yes i agree jaja - it is humiliating to be 20 words  short - and even more irritating whn you look up the solution the next day and realise that you did know all those words  ??? ??? ???

Well obviously, I don't know what you've got, but I thought that, for once, all the common words were common. In my case, it was a "How could I possibly have overlooked that?"  !     :D

Oh I do hate those things up above the message box.....I only meant "were" to be in italics....I was sure I turned the italics off ! Anyone want to give me a quick tutorial? I can't seem to make big letters, either, despite changing font size, etc     ???

Oh Threeb...now it's my turn to plead for help!  I can't for the life of me find the last common word in the Standard.....grrrrrrr! I know you can't give me a hint, since you know what I've got. I suppose it's horribly obvious as usual!  :-\

This seems to be the story of my life......or at least, my Chi life. Always one more word to find! I really wonder if someone out there decides to move the goalposts when they see that we're getting close..... ???
I dunno.......I'm all worded out, having gone from the probable to the possible and then the downright bizarre1
That's my lot, folks...have a great day/evening/night.

 :-P :-Y :-Z

You too T....whenever it's your bedtime......getting chilly here, btw, since winter has arrived with a vengeance....only 8C tonight. I KNOW you think that's positively mild, but for us Queenslanders, it verges on the Arctic! On with the flanelette PJ's, woolly bedsocks and furry nightcap. (Oooh I don't 'alf look sexy!)

Yeah Binkie - my friend invited me up to Brisbane to escape the Canberra cold for a few days and it was cold! So much for great one day - perfect the next.  The rain was a delight though I must admit - just love the sound of it.

I know just what you mean, Gaye......unfortunately we don't hear it very often!  I'm off to the back garden now, to stamp and chant and do my never-fail rain dance. (Well, it never fails to entertain the neighbours, anyhow!}   :D

Binks -

I'll say that the common words you didn't get in the standard, are pretty much fairly common (no Indian or Martian words on the list). Which is what you told me about the one I'm still missing in the challenge. I'm STILL STUMPED.

I'm going out and do a WORD DANCE! That's how desperate I've gotten.

Our rain finally stopped its training up and down from the Gulf of Mexico a few days ago. I've been holding my breath, trying to send it your way. I'll also try to send a few extra degrees there too, as things have started heating up into the 90s already. Summer has landed here!

Cheers,
3-B
