Even in these parts, where you are required to like snow in order to live here, we LOVE spring, and eagerly anticipate its arrival!

Some people even get

We should be back at INSTALLER

So do we REINSTALL and reboot?

Not at all. If you go back to post #183519 and select all the text (while selecting make sure you drag down to the bottom of the box) you will see the word INSTALLER appears. Thats where we need to carry on from. smile

No, and it was a good thought, but you need 2 more letters for "marionettes". What you thought you were doing was fine. I only count deliberate rule breaches...you know... like some OTHER people.... who call people "dummy" even after they already admitted being dense... ya know?

The spelling I used is common, like program/programme or colo(u)r. That was something I checked before posting.

Where'd you find that? I googled and all it came up with were a few username matches, and "Did you mean marionette?". I've never seen it another way, either, for whatever that's worth... :0)

...the letters of ATTIREMENT, taken only once each, can be arranged to make RAIMENT. (They also make MEDITERRANEAN.)

Edit: no, they don't. No D.
