Just pick the right letter and it'll all come together.

Come on... give me a guess!

It's up to you all - I just blew my guess!!

Karen sent a guess and it was correct. Congratulations! Karen doesn't want to host the next, so... Pinot's mom, even though you blew your guess, you have the highest points. Will you host the next? Looks you can, according to the rules. You deserve it, you were SO close!

This is the Puzzle:

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work, driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to the job that you need so you can pay for the clothes, car and the house that you leave empty all day in order to afford to live in it.

Kokopup will host the next puzzle. Thanks! I asked Pinot's Mom and LVPets, but they also didn't want to host the next.

Perhaps it's time for a puzzle break - or more participants.
