Nice and easy to start the year. Happy New Year.
Being told which letter to delete made it quite simple, but was still enjoyable.
Thank goodness a no brainer, which is about all I could handle today. Thanks.
I do not know why I even came on this sight tonight. Maybe to take my mind off the fact I lost my dear son a week ago and thought this would help, but I can't even try. thanks for listening to me, but I needed to say it and communicate with Braingle people who have been kind to me in the past.
Babe, condolences on the loss of your son. May whatever you believe about "what it all means" sustain you through your period of grief.
God bless you Babe. Accept my condolences for your loss.
I'm so sorry for your loss Babe.
Fun and Entertaining teaser; I got them all but it took awhile. Happy New Year fellow brainglers! My condolences to Babe over the loss of her son.
Fun and entertaining teaser; I got them all again but much quicker this time. Happy New Year to all my fellow Brainglers!

Babe: so sorry, take some time away to grieve; we'll still be here when you are ready to return!
Blessings!
