I think this is what it is all about (besides finding the med) but getting together and putting faces to names. I didn't meet a lot of you last night but I hope to someday and when this whole thing is over one of us wins it and have one great big ReHash Bash.

lilslim: I know. You missed some joes back
there so I didn't know you were still here.
I don't know how to disable my picture.

DDY-

go to preferences, then scroll down to picture. Check the box that says "remove image without uploading a new one"

But then if I want a picture again, will I have
to upload it again or will it still be there?

Just back from crosby a bit ago. Seen some folks there. I like the path around the small lake. It reminds me a lot of AW's hunt. If the clue fits tomorrow I'm raking the lawn by the pavallion.

Ok- Here I go:
Clue 1- "it" is the "loot"
Clue 2- "it" is the "park"
Clue 3- what is "it"? The hunt? the cliff? the water? the pledge?
"it would refer to the subject of the sentence, right? So to what subject does "it" refer in #3?
This clue is making my hair fall out.

I'm caught up!!!  And it's only a few minutes past 7.  Wow!

My list of favored parks:  Hidden Falls, Crosby, Cherokee, Mounds, Battle Creek.  No particular order.

Clue 4 might shove all of them to a place where the sun don't shine.

well, you notice how "White Christmas" has capital letters, ie: a song title. Normally in a regular sentence, and the rest of the clue words, it would be "white Christmas". if it was meant not to be a title, then only Christmas would be capitalized.

Ohhh, I had printed out Allisonwonderland's online clues....thanks.

How about "it was there before we moved in" could it be Resurection Cemetary nearby?

Not in the official clues in the PP either.

"in high dudgeon" is actually in the dictionary, that whole word.

in high dudgeon

Furiously, resentfully, as in He stormed out in high dudgeon. This term is the only surviving use of the word dudgeon, whose origin has been lost. [c. 1600]

Yes- but he wasn't... Heh.

Does anyone have a clue why 'Christmas' has it's own line?

The avatar-less- ness seems to be working.
You go for it MM!
Someday I will be in the Dudley Riggs comedy Troupe.
