Well, you kind of ruined the "guesses" by telling us we were wrong on number two and explaining why. That leaves a coin flip. Anyone has a 50-50 shot. That's why you don't reveal until you are satisfied no one is going to guess correctly or unless someone gets it right. I went with the most logical, as always, since I don't guess, I make logical deductions. No way could I see anyone spending that kind of money on magazines. You don't; you are in the busines, something I didn't think of. If you hadn't explained, others might have suggested one of the other two. Try us again!

Just like Algebra?

We lived in Memphis from 74 till 80 or 81...my hubby worked in radio there at WMPS. Ever listen to Rick Dees or Ron Jordon when they were there? It was the #1 station most of the time. Shared #1 with WHBQ.

Sure did listen...wow small world....
actual time there was in 75-76...

OK, Granny Sandy, since I make people think.

1.) I have read & written poetry since childhood, and can recite many poems by heart. However, I find reciting them in a British accent helps me remember them better and I am less apt to make mistakes.

2.) I can and have written some of my best poetry on the first draft and within six or seven minutes, and this includes fairly complicated form poems. When I am “in the grove” words simply flow.

3.) Despite a large vocabulary and even flashes of other languages that appear in my poems, I graduated High School with a low B, due to a touch of dyslexia and some problems with Math, and currently have only an AAS degree which is in General Studies. I was one class short of being able to go for my Bachelor’s and too lazy and sick to go back, realizing it would change nothing about my situation.

Go for it!

Didn't see that before
...I'll go with 3

[Pendragon]

One vote for 3. Anyone else?

Well, since Pixie is one of my favorite people, and she got it in one, I will give her one of the smiles she likes: and explain about these things:

1.) I have read & written poetry since childhood, and can recite many poems by heart. However, I find reciting them in a British accent helps me remember them better and I am less apt to make mistakes.

Un-huh: See, the extra effort of keeping the British accent going helps keep me focused on the poem I am reciting. I used to do Dr. Seuss stories by heart, and breaking down each character into a different accent helped me keep that straight.

2.) I can and have written some of my best poetry on the first draft and within six or seven minutes, and this includes fairly complicated form poems. When I am “in the grove” words simply flow.


Yes. I write the vast majority of my poems on a first draft. I have written poems that people here have given rave reviews in stunningly little time. But I get writers block and can't pull nothing together for weeks.

3.) Despite a large vocabulary and even flashes of other languages that appear in my poems, I graduated High School with a low B, due to a touch of dyslexia and some problems with Math, and currently have only an AAS degree which is in General Studies. I was one class short of being able to go for my Bachelor’s and too lazy and sick to go back, realizing it would change nothing about my situation.

The problem with this is that most of it is true. That could be what confused many of you. I did only graduate High School with a low B. Math is not my strong suit. I have dyslexia to a certain extent. I was one class short of being able to go for my Bachelor's (I needed Speech, but I was sick and it was my Internship year. So I decided against the extra class, planning on coming back in the summer after Graduation [Summa Cum Laude] and taking it, by then I realized it would change nothing. But my degree is IST, Information Systems Tech. Computer Geek. Not General Studies. Gotcha. Except for Pixie, of course...

1) my recycling is stacking up in the basement

2) I can’t find my garden hoe

3) only four of my toenails are painted (black) and the other six are left bare.
