I'm in 4.
I'm seeking 14 which might come from a cup of 10 made from 16 though I
suspect 15 or even 3 could be just as effective. I may need to sustain
myself with 8 or 12, preferably made without the icky 5, 7 or 9. I'll stay
out of the way of 1 even if it has 13. I feel I'm stuck in 2 - like being
on 6 or 11.


So I guess I'll just follow Paul and his paregorics, and cast my votes for
9 & 16.

Jim

5 sounds disgusting and 11 sounds lovely unless you have to go somewhere.

I love the Hartian reasoning here (reminds me of following a legend with
numbered outlines for an obscure old group photo or a large candy
assortment) - but i will foolishly not follow Our Favourite Hartian or his
own following of the present Keatinging. (<-Double-gerund'd!)

11 & 16 are my votes!
Thanks!

Vox pop says 9, but what use would a cathartic be to a corpse? Granted, those could be two separate uses, but still ...

So, I'll try the plants: 15 and the other vox pop. 16.

Maybe, but probably not:

8. a Middle Eastern dessert made with honey, rosewater, and pistachios.

OR

13. in some marsupials, a pair of coiled tubules in which fertilised eggs
may be carried and stored.
