Thanks for your address! And congratulations! We'll be mailing CRANIOKLEPTY to you soon.

And thanks for the note about looking for an email address (cranioklepty@gmail.com). It is on the site, but not in an obvious-enough spot, so I've added it to the winning entries page.

Cheers,

Embrace the mystery of life. You don't need to know everything in your head. You don't need to figure everything out. You don't need an instruction sheet or a set of rules. You don't need all the answers. Let yourself experience life. Hang on to the handlebars when you must, but as much as possible put your hands in the air and enjoy the ride. Feel everything you need to feel along the way. Feel the fear, the joy, the exhilaration. Feel the wind in your hair and the sun on your shoulders. Feel the vitality of life surge through you. See vitality and life in all that's around you. Watch the magical journey of your life unfold with all it's ups and downs. Feel the awareness surge up from deep within. Grasp the insights that come. Grab the brass ring whenever you can.

Embrace the mystery in life. Embrace the mystery and magic of you.

Hi. You're up on Crambo! I know you said that you were away for the long weekend, but I wasn't sure if you knew that you won the last game.

congratulations on your win and welcome to the crambo! madhouse. when i started a month or so ago and picked my first word, i found some suggestions helpful.

first of all, because there are people in different countries and time zones and we're all a bit hooked on the game, it's considered courteous to give a general indication of times when you'll be checking the game, times when you have to be away for an extended period, e.g. to sleep or if you have to be gone for hours or a day or two.

if you can, choose a word with an ending that hasn't been used recently by going to the crambo! page and looking at words used in previous games. it's getting harder so don't worry about that too much.

feel free to pick a simple word. folks often do after a long and difficult game.

don't worry about not being able to figure out guesses. happens to all of us.

it's customary to show words that have been guessed and are incorrect by using HTML coding to put a strike through on the word 'not' then the list of words then another strike through 'not' [see the last game, for example]. the html code is easy. you just put this code not both before and after the list of words. all you'll see when you post is the word 'not' with a line through it. i don't think this comment page recognizes html, if it does, i'll get you the info another way.

to make it easy, i just create a crambo text doc, type in not not and then i can insert incorrect guesses in the text doc, adding as i go along and i don't have to keep retyping it and risk an HTML error.

if you can't understand a guess, don't be afraid to ask for a hint.

go for it! have fun. congratulations. :)

oh, holler if you've got questions. i'm for bed as it's 4 am here and i'm knackered.

I'll be on my way to work when you add the slow cooker books to your inventory but if you wouldn't mind reserving them for me, I'd really love to mooch Everything Slow Cooker Cookbook and Fix it and Forget it Recipes for Entertaining. I'm in Canada and my BM ID is sunnylola.
Thanks!
