In a (12) with the ranger, the importance of (12) was discussed.

After a (4) of tongue lashing from his wife, Try (4) to (4) hammering a (4) with her best (4).

Congratulations, they were far better than I could manage.

[size=7]In a (12) conversation with the ranger, the importance of (12) conservation was discussed.
That was a real corker!


After a SPOT of tongue lashing from his wife, Try OPTS to STOP hammering a POST with her best POTS.

The best ever. Although, I am sure you could have found a spot for TOPS.[/size]

He did not (6) vision in his right eye after the damage to his (6).

BTW; if it is not deemed too delicate a question, are you restored to full health?


Craven used a (4) to wear down the bars in his cell. He hoped to escape in time, as he did not look forward to (4) in prison.

tops: damn - I overlooked that

health: I'm not 100%, but I was back to work all of last week, and I have a squash match scheduled for tomorrow evening. These damned head/chest colds seem to linger...

Unable to (5) the message about local (5), Try (5) his (5) with a (5) (5), then (5) them.

To (4) himself, Try walks (4), has a (4), and (4) leaves from various (4).

It might seem like it takes (4) for (4) (4) to clear.

(4) (4) lord definitely has his (4) together as can be seen by the (4) he is inflicting with his light saber.

"Bring your (4) at (4)", Harry challenged Voldemort.

"These damned head/chest colds seem to linger..."

OMG…You don't keep chickens do you?

If you can play squash, then you are fitter than 99.9% of the rest.




Kick my barn door; you are getting good at these…. Too good. :wink:


[size=7]"Bring your WAND at DAWN", Harry challenged Voldemort.[/size]


That is the only one that came to mind. Remember, this is a Monday. I need time.



Slight change, but not your answer:


It might seem like it takes for an to clear air.

"These damned head/chest colds seem to linger..."

Clever, very clever.


[size=7]It might seem like it takes EONS for ONE'S NOSE to clear.[/size]


[size=7]THIS SITH lord definitely has his **** together as can be seen by the HITS he is inflicting with his light saber.[/size]


Boy, these are tough. A little help - somebody! Pretty please.

It might seem like it takes ? for an ? to ? clear air.

[size=7]No numbers, but since you're partial to four, how about:

The (5) bit Mark when he leaned against the (5) tree, causing slight sniffles.



That man with (4) does not need his (4) to walk; it conceals a weapon.

Try (5) a son who (5) figs and operates (5) at the carnival.

The (5) player let out a (5) when the (5) lamp shattered.

The (5) was (5) by (5) driven through its shell.

Try's (6) daughter attached the (6) flower (6) to the (6) with a (6), and presented them to Try on dinner (6).

Drinking the (6) was not an (6).

Try threw spliced (5) around the (5) who was reciting (5) while rubbing a (5) on his (5).

The diva wore a (5) in the (5).

Mark wrote, "??".

WHAT! I mean, pardon . The National Cattlemen's Beef Association - would probably be aghast. Have you not heard of a Carob tree? Can you not see them on your drive to work?

Carob (Ceratonia siliqua)

FABACEAE, Legume Family
Many residents of southern California have seen carob trees (Ceratonia siliqua) planted around town. Carob is an evergreen tree with pinnately compound leaves (have 2 to 6 pairs of oval leaflets), which can grow to a height of 15 meters and be very handsome. Nevertheless, this species is grown around the world primarily as a food crop, for its sweet and nutritious fruits.

Finding the snake may prove more difficult.

Do you know why Whim has been missing for so long? I do miss her posts.




Re-arrange all the letters in the following words to form an apt description of them.

Example:
Elvis = Lives.
Statue of Liberty = Built to Stay Free

Schoolmaster:
Clint Eastwood:


Good luck with your squash match, I have money riding on this result - no pressure, just thought I would mention it.

[size=7]Dormitory = dirty room[/size]

I don't know what Whim is up to.

Mark, these are very good. You are turning into a master riddle maker. It will not be long before they appear all over the web.

[size=7]Try SIRED a son who DRIES figs and operates RIDES at the carnival.


The SNAIL was SLAIN by NAILS driven through its shell.

Try's PALEST daughter attached the PASTEL flower PETALS to the PLEATS with a STAPLE, and presented them to Try on dinner PLATES.

Drinking the POTION was not an OPTION.

The diva wore a TIARA in the ATRIA. (Atria) When did you last use that word?[/size]


Still outstanding, awaiting a passer-by with brains.
If you do not recognise the description (4) off.

Try threw spliced (5) around the (5) who was reciting (5) while rubbing a (5) on his (5).

The (5) player let out a (5) when the (5) lamp shattered.


Unable to (5) the message about local (5), Try (5) his (5) with a (5) (5), then (5) them.


To 4 himself, Try walks 4, has a 4, and 4 leaves from various 4.

Tiara/atria is not what I had in mind, but it is valid. My pair had a more fitting location for a diva.

"Good luck with your squash match, I have money riding on this result - no pressure, just thought I would mention it."
I hope you bet on me, because I won 10-8, 9-0, 10-8.

"My pair had a more fitting location for a diva."

That might be the subject of conjecture. Time alone will tell. I will look again (again).

"I hope you bet on me, because I won"

Due to your recent medical condition, it was a matter of some speculation as to your likely performance. I however figured that any shortfall in stamina would be more than made up by a beneficial change of tactics. I note my anticipation was well founded.



Mark the hero, removed his (4) and began to (4) back and forth, trying to think of a way to stop the villain.


Mark could hear the (5) playing in the distance as he carried his squash racket across the (5).

[size=7]cape pace
bugle bulge (probably not what you had in mind)[/size]

Spare me the (4) details of your (4) while I'm eating my (4).

As the (6) were plodding along the trail, they heard a (6) from a (6) in a nearby tree.

It (7) her so much to think that the (7) living in the mansion would (7) the numbers in his street address that she became (7) and tossed a (7) through his window.

To gain some more thinking time:

The school newspaper staff did a survey of all 235 students at the school concerning after-school activities. The three activities in the survey were sports, drama, and yearbook. They found that 71 students participated in after-school sports, but of those students also participated in one or both of the other activities (drama and yearbook).

A total of 64 students are involved in drama, but some of those were involved in other after-school activities as well. The yearbook drew a total of 58 students, some of whom were involved in other activities too. Further analysis found that:

• 10 students are involved in all three areas.
• 4 students are involved in drama and yearbook.
• 5 students are involved in drama and sports.
• 7 students are involved in sports and yearbook.

Based on this survey, how many students are involved in at least one after school program
