Could be any one of 'em, far as I know. I'll guess at the first and the

Great word. I'll go with the related #7 and #8. 8 sounds like what you might see after you take 7.

1 and 14, please.
I don't know why, but I didn't receive the new word message
this time, though I did see Bill's reply; unfortunately
that came too late for me to visit the group site and see
the message. Did anyone else miss it?
Best wishes,

see food.

Looks like my 8:58 a.m. votes didn't make it. I guess I should have
voted directly from the website (from which I am writing right now). I
voted for 9 and 13 . . . if anyone cares. <sigh>
