I really liked Dieter's idea of using dreams, but I've not had a one this week that I remember. I've have to start working on that...

10) a song about writing a song - sounds very trite, and I've even done it before, but there you are...

9) Marrakech morning

8) "sudden death over time"  (what's a list from me without a play on words?)

7) who on earth are you talking to on a cell phone (on the bus) at four thirty in the morning?

6) "once more with feeling" - would make a great country song, no?

5) writing a song lyric in the style of a "for sale" ad, maybe about a car that has too many memories attached to it

4) "imagine your message here"

3) "it's not adding up"

2) I stole this idea from someone I knew in  high school. He wrote a short story about it and I've always thought it'd be a great song: a guy (person, couple or family) gets forced into the median strip of a busy highway (think Los Angeles) and can't get back on. There's too much traffic. So he/they has to try to live there or (as happened in the story) perish in a desperate attempt to run to the other side.

1) "that's not what you're wearing?"

Have fun and see you next week!

Peace

Very clever.

How much time did you take for that?

I just want to know so I have some idea of how much time I have for the next one.

Somehow things on top of other things is percolating into an SSG.

I think that the moderators are going to get us for gong waaaay off topic, but here goes:

appreciated  
-----------  
Writer  
---------  
insurance                                             himself with guilt  
----------  
burdened  
----------
whelmed

I can't really say how much time this all takes. I've seen so many of those "word puzzle" games that I think they've become a permanent part of my thinking...

Hope you're having a good weekend and looking forward to week 47 tomorrow.

Peace

Thank goodness because I had no idea what I'd do if you upped the ante!

Well played, good sir!

Well I tried to add

_____________
paid

to the bottom of the list, but after 15 minutes of trying and still not getting everything lined up, I concede defeat.  Prithee have mercy on the vanquished.

Dear bogglers,

Please enlighten me because I don't get any further than under- or over-

okay, but remember this isn't an exact science!

"Inside a bad company, there's an overwhelmed, underappreciated, overburdened insurance underwriter who's beside himself with guilt by association."

Maxwell - "paid" would have been great!

Peace
