Puzzle #631

I'm your host for puzzle number 631 because Karen is currently busy ... so without further ado!

Here's puzzle number 631! - Enjoy!

New players! Read the rules before you join, please, and be prepared to host the next if you win!

These 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. (see also rule #9)

* 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 Private message. (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.

* 9. Only 5 guesses allowed in total until the host updates the puzzle. Any guess after 5, before the next update, won't be counted as a guess. And as always, someone else has to guess a letter before you can guess another letter.

And here is what you win ... you get to create the next puzzle.

(Should you win the game and are unable to host the next puzzle, you may pass it to the member with the next highest points)

Below is the puzzle.

I'll try a number! Is there a 3, Catty1? I'm starting to get a sense of where this puzzle might be going :)

Nope, no 3! But you're getting the idea!:)

I have many of the words figured out, but will have no clue about the numbers ... and a few of the words. So let us try 5 - as in five - please!

This is new - I think one point for a correct number? What do the rest of you think?

Thank you, Karen - I did miss one N and the second letter I missed was a P. I don't have the quote to look at right now, so I spotted other missing bits and corrected the score. I apologize! :(:o

I was sure there should be another K - there is not a third K in the 4th from last word?

Okay, gang - Karen got the quote but not the time! Each number is worth one point. It's kind of a crap shoot, really! :D

And should she choose to be a Mother one day, be my eyes, Lord, that I may see her
lying on a blanket on the floor at -:5- A.M., all-at-once exhausted, bored,
and in love with the little creature whose poop is leaking up its back.
