oh dear. i was afraid of that. i'd guessed it a while back after my empire of light fiasco and felt certain after your adjective/adverb hint. i finally decided it wasn't fair not to guess and get you off the hook.

thanks for telling me. excellent, excellent game. you're very good. i'm envious. :)

Hi,
We read a lot of the same books (paranormal stuff). I'm studying to be a librarian too. You're so lucky you can study it at home and at master degree level. I live in Belgium. Here you have to go to a school and it's a graduate level which is bachelor level but without the actual title so if you want to go international you get into trouble.

Have a nice week!

you're welcome and you're doing a great job. librarians are a fine group. my mom was a librarian and so was i, for a year. :)

whole new thing, though, now that we've moved from the joys of card catalogues, which i loved, to e-librarying. librarying? ah well.

nuts. the link won't work. here it is without the html thing:

just scroll down to 'bold' and you'll see how easy it really is to do text in bold, italics, with strikethrough and so forth.

if you don't use the web on crambo! you're the only one who doesn't. especially check out onelook:

a suggestion to make keeping the list of *not* answers easier: make a text document, add your html code (that's the strike not strike part at beginning and end) and then as you eliminate the guesses, all you have to do is list them between the beginning and ending code bits, copy, paste to crambo and keep saving the file. saves a lot of time, stress and consequent hankies, lemon balm, sighing, draping, swooning and lie downs. :)

if you want to grasp html, like how to make italics, enter URL links and the like, try this page. i hope i got that right.

or if that's incomprehensible, you can try searching for what it is you want to do. for example, if you wish to write something in italics, you can search "html code italics" [without the quotation marks]. jj can help you too. he actually knows what he's doing.

i've taken a couple of html courses online and a couple of css courses so although i can't actually do it anymore, i know what they're talking about when i look this stuff up. i'm not sure if it would be comprehensible if i'd not studied it a bit.

oh, please excuse lower case. manual disability makes shifting very hard. not lazy or rude. well, not usually.

i did see. i'm agog. you're very good. 'you've played this game before, haven't you?' she said suspiciously.' ;)

i say, you might like the 'silly book game.' it's probably my favorite even when i'm too tired to play. cracks me up.
