TCF Hangman II
And I was just looking at the corpse...shouldn't there be 2 body parts on it, not just the head?
Mod
I'm certain I changed that picture. O well. I'll fix it here in a moment.
Mod
Trea, there are 2 Ss.

The body walked away!
I finished Witches' Bane by Susan Wittig Albert
last night. I am really enjoying this series.I will guess A
Is someone desperate to see a hanging?!?!?! lol
Mod
Denise, there are 4 Ls.
Catherine wrote: "Is someone desperate to see a hanging?!?!?! lol"LOL, just helping Lanelle...I know how much she enjoys hanging body parts!
Lanelle...I think I have it figured out...but if I am correct...you are missing a Y..
Mod
Sorry. I fixed the Y. Thanks.
OH I love this quote but once again waiting for Catherine - lol actually I'm not sure of one word.
well, I have been waiting over an hour so I'm going for it cuz I have to take my hubby to chemo, though I'm not sure of one word.Is it
Maybe heaven will be a library and then I might get to finish my "to-read" list.
Catherine wrote: "Lanelle...I think I have it figured out...but if I am correct...you are missing a Y.."Catherine, since I am unable to PM you, I'll have to mention this in the thread.
Please don't call out that you know the puzzle and then not solve it! By calling out that you have it, but don't solve it, you keep others waiting on you when they might also solve the puzzle! I do believe that this is the third time you've done this, and the second time I've mentioned it.
I know that this game is just for fun, but it can also be frustrating for some of the others, myself included, when you call out that you have it, and don't come back to solve it. We don't want to be rude and solve it out from under you, like Denise had to when you never came back and solved it.
If Lanelle has missed a letter in the puzzle, please PM her with it directly, that way the puzzle can continue to be worked if needed. Thank you for understanding.
Mod
I'm currently down in Tucson visiting my mother-in-law who is in an assisted living facility, recuperating from surgery. I'll post another quote late this afternoon. There is a strong possibility that the next quote will be about libraries, too ;)

Um...SORRY!!!!! I was called into a job interview...and as I recently LOST my job! I kind of thought that it was important! I didn't mean to be gone for so long...if you'll notice...I thought that there might have been a lettre missing...so I wanted to be sure about it first...Excuse me!! Yes...it is for fun.... I never stopped you from solving that other one....

Yes, a job interview is important, but this is not the first time you've had others waiting on you. I could understand it if it was the first time, but it wasn't.
Thing is, you could always say in the thread that you'll be away from the computer for an extended period of time if something like this happens again, and let the others know it would be ok to solve it. I know I would feel bad if I solved a puzzle out from under you, so I don't do it, but can't you put yourself in our shoes when we have to wait on you to post? Wouldn't it frustrate you if, say, I called out in the thread and said I had it, but then never came back and solved it, and you were stuck waiting 6, 8, 10 hours for me to solve it? I know I have constraints on my time as well, as I am sure the others do as well, so we shouldn't have to keep refreshing the page every 30 minutes or so to see if you've come back to solve it. It's just a matter of being fair and courteous to your fellow players, and I'm just asking that you think of others too.
Feel free to PM me if you wish to discuss this further, as I don't think having a fight any further in the thread would be constructive. You are also welcome to PM Lanelle and complain about me, should you wish, and ask her to bar me from the game. That, too, is your right. However, I will say that this game doesn't have many regular players, so I would rather not see anyone leave it by force.

Thanks Lanelle! I hope your mother-in-law does fine and you don't have to be run off your feet.
That is a great quote - it fits most of us here - where is it from?
Mod
I didn't expect you to know the book. It's Magic in the Backyard.
A new quote has been posted.
Remember that your book must have been finished after this point.
Mod
I finished The Jewel of the Nile by Catherine Lanigan/Joan Wilder last night before bed, so I'd like to guess C.
Mod
While I was out at my son's ninjitsu class, I finished Hard to Let Go by Laura Kaye, so I'm going to guess H.
Mod
There are 5 Hs, Trea.
Lanelle wrote: "Must have been a loooong ninjitsu class :)There are 5 Hs, Trea."
Yeah, it was. Graduation day, so he wasn't released until everyone had gotten their new belts, even though it was only his second class there and wasn't graduating!
Mod
awwww now you're all happy and everything:)
Mod
*chuckles embarrassingly* Um, yeah. Kind of.
Finished The Lost Duke of Wyndham instead of sleeping (because I'm really stupid that way).Is there an L?
And this time, I checked first. ^_^

LOL, I about had done the same thing you had, Amber, so it got me in the habit of checking first!

The thing is, when I'm not so extra sleep deprived, I almost always check, too. I'm fully allowed to place all the blame on insomnia, right?
Mod
Absolutely! And there are 6 Ls.

I agree, you totally are!
Mod
By the way, welcome to Hangman!

Well dang, I just finishedDeadly Gamble by Connie Shelton
. All 3 of my letters have been used, but I just wanted to brag...this is book number 50 for the year. I hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

Almost doesn't seem fair that Debbie can't participate, just because we've already guessed all the letters that she'd use traditionally.
Mod
Debbie doesn't sound too disappointed that her book wouldn't work towards solving the puzzle. She just wanted to share her accomplishment.
By the way, wtg Debbie!
I'm fine with the rules as they stand. I enjoy playing and watching both. I'm half way through my next book, so depending on my day I'll be able to guess later today or tomorrow.
Mod
Thank you, Debbie.
