It's a short one...have fun!

Here are the rules:

1. You may only guess one letter at a time.

2. After you have guessed a letter, you must wait for another player to guess a letter before you can go again.

3. The host of the game responding to a guess does not count as a turn. Should you choose a letter, then receive a response from the member host, you must wait for the next member to guess a letter.

4. One point will be awarded for each correct letter, 2 points for vowels.

5. Only six misses are allowed in the game.

6. If you wish to guess the phrase, send it to me via Pet Talk personal email. [This is accessible via the 'PM' or 'Profile' buttons on any of my posts.]
DO NOT post it on the forum If you wish to guess a letter, post it on the forum.

7. You must have submitted a correct letter to submit your solution. Unlike letters, if you submit a wrong solution, you are disqualified from continuing in that puzzle.

8. The player who correctly guesses the phrase wins the game. If no one has guessed it correctly after six misses, then the player with the most points wins the game.

And here is what you win...you get to create the next puzzle. (Should you win the game, and do not care to host the next puzzle, you may pass your puzzle play to the member with the next highest points)

Here is the puzzle:

--- ---- -- ------ -- ---- ----- ----- ------- - -----'- ----.

Cincy'sMom

Personally, I think a Dec. birthday is unfortunate...to close to Christmas. People try to cheat and only give one gift...even happens in January! I always thought it would be cool have a birthday in July and really spread the gifts out.

Of course that is no reflection on those with Dec. birthdays! Never meant w/ a Dec. birthday I didn't like !

My dad's b-day is Dec. 28. He hates it! His whole life, everyone has given him a "combination" gift for christmas and his b-day. He gets the shaft on presents.

My oldest step-son's birthday is Dec 24, and my sister has an in-law whose birthday is Dec 25. In both cases, our families really make an effort to seperate the birthday from the holiday. Birthday parties are the main focus and celebrated on the actual date, and holiday celebrations are on some other day.

That's cool.

My friend in college's Bday was the 27th of Dec and she was a twin...she was always complaining about getting the shat on presents..and still not even having a cake of her own!!!
