No worries, Rachel. :)

Updated to here

Hooray for all our finished books today, team! I'll update the ss, then going to get some reading time in myself.

Ha! Just like Wiley Coyote!

Rephrasing what I said above for clarity. Karen, if yours works then you take it since you're already done reading. Mine can go in reserve. Thanks for the definition, Cecily.

Oh good. Hmmm, wait, that didn't sound right did it? Glad someone had a nervous breakdown. Not so much, but hope it works for the task. :)

Sounds like we might have yours and mine in reserve if needed. Laura will need to make the call.

I'm currently reading Ruby by Cynthia Bond. In the beginning of the book one of the MC mother has a nervous breakdown and is shipped off to the State Mental Hospital. It's only mentioned in a paragraph, but has a big impact on the MC. Would that be enough to qualify?

Thanks Mary Ellen. Hopefully it will come in at the library soon. At least I've now listened to about 1/3 of it, so there's probably only about 300 pages left to read. The language and much of the subject matter is not appropriate for when I have my grandkids in the car, so that's been holding me up too. Lots of adult humor. Typical John Irving style.

Ha! I think that dress is just for looking good! No movement possible! At least the color can't be debated. Definitely yellow.

Looks like orange with fusia colored fronds.

Yes! And I felt a sort of pride doing it! hahaha"

Me too!

When is the date we're trying to finish the game? Listening to the book on CD is taking too long. I am waiting for my book to come in at the library and don't want to hold up the team.

That one was the easiest, do you agree, Cecily?

I just solved it! Sending it to you now.

I see the puzzle on mine too, that I just sent to you. I also saw the picture on the one I sent to the mods. Glad you got Maritza's to work too.

Trying to recall, does the word "the" count for titles? If so, I can read The Girls for "book that's title starts with T".

Bonus Labor 17 hooray! I'm guessing this means my puzzle solution went through to the mods correctly. Relief!

Hockey game is on, I'm up for a bit to tonight! Go Team Canada!!"

Laura I just sent the email to the mods and you with the puzzle html solution. Hope it worked! I was at my RL bookgroup tonight, so just getting in.

No problem.

Laura,
Before you posted message 4617, I went to Bonus Labor 15 and completed the puzzle. I was just now trying to figure out how to send it to the mods, when I saw your last two posts. Should I wait to send it to the mods? If not, can you help explain to me how to upload the image into my message to the mods?
Thanks!
