I can't believe how much time I've spent on this - it's like a logic puzzle (and I HATE logic puzzles) - If someone says it's great, they DIDN'T write it and LB DIDN'T write anything about drinking BUT each pair was written by the same person. Harper has more pairs than Josh and LB. Solve.<br /><br />Gack.<br /><br />Anyhoo, here is my guess, cause I'm really not confident with No. 2 and No. 7. <br /><br />1. LB<br />2. JL<br />3.

Please God, don’t let me be the only one. <br /><br />Are links allowed around here? I would like to share my secret weapon, an English thesaurus and dictionary software that I cannot write without. We all qualified for the free fully functional version. It’s safe to use, I’d been using it for many years, I guess if I ever get an advance from a publisher some it will go to them and the wiki. Here is the link, feel free to edit it if I broke any rules: http://wordweb.info/<br /><br />Lisabea, don’t be shy about the self-promotion, indeed, you should include a link from the image to a page where someone can use a credit card, honesty, that cover from Smart Ass inspires to do so, I love the smiley tattoo (no guessing this time, I think they both went commando). <br /><br />About rule #9, I have five wonderful CP (we are a group) for my hetero writing. <br /><br />Following rule #4, I better go back to my work (crazy revising two different MS that a couple of editors showed interest in taking a look at).Joanna Terrerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148330199725301929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8012664417591303836.post-86911359626112755962010-06-19T13:14:00.420-07:002010-06-19T13:14:00.420-07:00I was going to call her a cheater-pants.
