And yes, there are problems with the puzzle.

I’m trying relly hard to NOT post my solution as a spoiler, but WP is foiling me!

A problem with using the spoiler tag?

Forgive me for repeating, especially if you already know, but …

Here’s a refresher…
Just highlight the words you want to hide…
and click the [+] at the end of the little black toolbar below.

When a little window pops up, type the words in it that you want people to click on…

in this case, I will use “Here’s a refresher” … but it’s often “Click here”.

And click “Post comment.”

That’s it.

Direct in-the-comment-box spoilers are another way to go.
If you copy the below neutered coding into any word processor and delete the spaces I placed between all the”[” and “]” brackets [spoiler … /spoiler] (I hope my attachment makes that clearer) you can then copy and paste your now active coding into an open comment box .
Again, I hope my attachment is clear on that part of the process.
I tried every which way to post the coding as code you could directly copy, but alas, WordPress.

 
[ spoiler title=” ” ] [ /spoiler ]
 

Of course you’re….

“I’m trying relly hard to NOT post my solution as a spoiler”

So my advice would be don’t use a spoiler box. 🙂

P.S.
If you watched the game how did Hamilton play so well, play so awfully, play well again, then awfully again. I had both sides covered so I can’t complain really, my mother was born in Winnipeg and I was born in Manitoba, but I’ve been a Hamilton fan for years.

Thanks, but I think Susan’s method is simpler.

(And I haven’t watch the game since I lost my cheering partner in 1992 [RIP, Dad.] Besides, I still haven’t forgiven Hamilton for taking out Willie Flemming in 1963!

Yeah, we did this before.

Posting this before I look at Alexi’s.

My solution
I’m going, again, with #8.

I drew a red line where the reflection is cut off… as if the paper or the painting is too shallow to show the whole sky.

comment image

#6 and #9 are also not reflected, but lie beyond the edge of the picture (ie, past the red line,) so nothing in their part of the sky is shown.

I can’t figure out why it says to count the points… first, every star in the picture has five…

and second, most people don’t need to count to recognise a 5-pointed star, and would immediately recognise the difference if there were a four or six-pointed one.

I think that the “number of points” is a red herring.

SusanSunshine

Reply to  Greyhame

Yeah, I’m sure it is… .

But not a good one.

A red herring is usually something you’re tempted to try, a false clue, that would lead you astray.

You can just look at this puzzle image and say… “Uh, but they’re all five pointed.”

Mmmm … herring.

I wonder if RED herring is bad or something.

I was planning to ask that tonight, too…

But I checked her GoComics profile, and she was on several of Sunday’s strips there (I never know whether to say “today’s” or “yesterdays” at this point.).

I think I’ll email her, anyway, and ask whether there’s a problem.

Sorry. I’m here. We got new internet and I lost Cleo for several days ~ among other things. Now Cleo logged me out and my password book ~also my address book ~ is on the kitchen table where I’m doing Christmas cards and I always forget to bring it in here to sign on. So right now I’m a mean purple face.

I never had anything really help me with my depression except a child’s dosage of Nefazodone, which is no longer made. Surprisingly, and adult dosage brought on worse anxiety. I’ve thought about contacting someone about the psilocybin treatment.

Have you ever tried asking a pharmacist to mix you up a child’s dose?

SusanSunshine

Reply to  Tigressy

Dunno what it’s like in Germany, but very few US pharmacists do any drug compounding or mixing any more… They’re “dispensing pharmacists”.

And they can’t change a doctor’s prescription, even to give you a smaller dose.

I tried a couple of times…once when no lower dosage of a prescribed medication was even, manufactured, and I couldn’t split it because it was in capsules.

Another time the pills were very small, and I didn’t trust splitting them.

Both times I was told I needed a prescription for that exact amount, and then that it was unavailable.

Nefazodone is no longer made along with several other antidepressants because of causing liver damage.

Poor Christmas tree… and what a waste, considering what people pay for fresh ones around here.

I’ve meant to ask whether they’re that expensive in the Midwest these days… when I came to California… at 18(!!)… I was shocked… absolutely shocked!

I’d volunteered at a Girl Scout tree lot in Wisconsin, where we sold trees for 50 cents a foot… in California they were a dollar!
A six foot tree would cost $6 that way.

I don’t know the price in dollars per foot now, but I see trees advertised as on sale for “only” 60 dollars each. Yikes!

Anyhow, Cleo, like a small child, sees no connection between what she did and being good, or between greed and naughtiness.

Give Santa more room; he’ll bring more presents.

It reminds me of a now 40-ish niece, who is… let’s say strong willed… like Cleo, and whose parents were almost as indulgent as the Cliffords, except for a few more financial restraints.

The children’s Christmas stockings and Easter baskets seemed to get bigger every year, and at the same time, their taste in candy grew more sophisticated, running to expensive chocolate instead of cheap bunnies.

….

One year our parents were visiting, and brought some pretty baskets for them to put out for the Easter bunny later that year…. they’d thought it would be a cute idea.

As soon as they left, my niece, then around 7, pitched a howling fit. The baskets were normal size, therefore too small to hold what she wanted.

I would have said “Oh well…” but no… she got taken someplace to choose a better basket.

The one she got would have held a 35 pound turkey, say, or maybe a peck of apples… with room to spare.

On Easter Sunday, when she saw that they didn’t fill it up, she cried again.

Really weird… I figured it was Lawrence of Arabia, so searched this picture to see whether it was Peter O’Toole, which I think it is, but it doesn’t quite look like him… Or the real Lawrence.

I found the exact same picture, but with Robert Pattinson’s face, crediting him with playing Lawrence in a movie.

That one looks Photoshopped, but there are enough citations that I think it’s the above one that has been altered.

But why? There are a zillion real pictures of Peter O’Toole as Lawrence.

And the disgusting part is that some corporate insurance company bean counter is spending $10.00 to find ways to deny this penny or that penny on each of the company’s insured’s claims.
Never mind those claims must be made on top of the loss of those insured’s homes, livelihoods, and, most importantly, loved ones.

Going back to yesterday…

Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall were also excellent radio actors.
The link below leads to 57 episodes of their radio series “Bold Venture,” which ran from 1951 to 1952.
At the time of recording, they were already parents to Stephen Humphrey, who was named after Bogart’s character in “To Have and Have Not” (their daughter, Leslie Howard, born 1952, was named after the actor).

Wikepedia lists Dolly Parton’s height as 4 Feet 11 and an nth under 27/32 inches tall (and having had a sister, I’d bet her family knows not to leave that nth out when stating her height in her hearing) .
