Can you make a phrase with 5 words from the following letters :
Wijayawardhanaohlewhite
First word is seven letters
Last word rhymes with Charlie Sheen
Any ideas?

Good grief! Um--you said Last word rhymes with Charlie Sheen. Does that mean the last word has three syllables? And--is it a relatively common phrase, and in what country?
wofa--you're prolly the one most likely to figure this out.

Okay. I had a feeling this might be a trick question of some kind, so I googled Wijayawardhanaohlewhite, and it asked whether I meant Wijayawardhana hole white, so I said yes, and got some interesting results. It appears there is a Duleepa Wijayawardhana (Dups). So I googled her and got this. I'll let you click on it and see what you think. She's got a web site and a blog, apparently. As to the ref. to Mr. Sheen, I can think of a three-letter word that perhaps some people might want to put in between white and hole... [shrug] Mind saying where you saw this riddle?

Are we thinking its another span post? Jackie...I did go to Dups webpage and look around,(she has some great photos and has travelled to some interesting places)but I don't believe she is connected to the original post. Interesting thing about GOOGLE though......we just had it reported in Australia about a high level security officer's background being checked out in google, by someone, only to find that he was wanted by INTEPOL! Interpol fugitive guarding state buildings

A spot is the closest thing to a blank post. I wanted to delete my post, but 'delete' only functions for some seconds after you have made your post. Editing a post into a blank post is not possbible.

Branny, I seem to have the option of deleting your post, if you still want it deleted: the button is there, but of course I didn't try it to see if it actually works. I would have thought anyone would have the option forever of editing or deleting their own posts.
You could always try a dot in white ; then it would appear that nothing was there. Think I'll try making a truly empty post.
Edit: nope, still can't do it.

" but of course I didn't try it to see if it actually works"...
;-) reminds me of salt and sugar ;-)
You can delete a post for a couple of seconds after you posted. Before, we could delete one up to I think 26 hours. It was not real important. But I noticed on the occasion you cannot make an empty post. (somehow this makes sense :-)

You could type any character, word, etc. and color it white. It appears invisible (an oxymoron?), but can be read by hitting the quote button. You see?

Yes...but, if Bran doesn't want her post read, ie wishes to delete it, that wouldn't be so good, would it! You could just replace it with a 'smilie'

Or is totally visible on "active topics".
The problem is Candy, my smileys DO NOT WORK. I'm lost, my toys have been taken away from me and I'm facing the cold cruel world without even the kindest type of weapon. (smmiiiley!!!)

Bran, maybe you have corrupt preferences in your browser. If you can find the folder they're kept in, try moving it to the desktop. The application should generate a new one, and may solve the problem. If it works, delete the old folder. If not, you can remove the new folder and replace the old, or reset your preferences in the new one. Might be worth a try.

Thank you, I will try. I'm all against corruption. ;-)
I see some tiny barriers here (find folder, move to desktop,.. but thanks, you never know, I want my bolds and italics ).

Bran, which browser do you use? you could try using a different browser and see if you have the same problem there. I'll bet you have a cache or cookie problem. : )

I use Google Internet Explorer, but recently I downloaded a more up to date version and this may have caused the little problem. I will see if I will try a different browser but must act carefully so as not to make a serious mess of out of it. :-) thanks!

Let me try...italics. And bold.
Okay--you can get bold, italics, and I'll guess the underlining, by putting the letter for whichever you want (i, b, u) inside these brackets []. To end them put a /i, /b, /u inside another set of []. I will use the wrong brackets to demonstrate:
if you want {i}italics{/i} it will look like this. But you will have to use the straight brackets, and they have to be facing each other: [[ or ]] won't work.
Hmm--lemme try something else: #6600CC color?
Nope-- That will have to be color:#6600CC inside [], and /color inside the second set. Each color has a different code, unfortunately--almost certainly too much bother.
I think I used the S with a horizontal line through it once. I have never used the S with a diagonal line through it, nor the quote-mark button, nor the pound sign button. I have no idea what they do or how they work. Huh--I've not used the media tag, either--I have no idea what to do with that. The button next to it says List, but I've not felt the need for that either. Oh yeah, the two T buttons--I think one of them changes text size; maybe the other is to change your font; I dunno.

Ah, yes of course I can do that, thanks a lot, Jackie. Just imitate the stuff when I open a post at 'quote'. I like it, just move around the problem. :-)

Thats enough to make anyone  smileys can also be exhumed by using :, front and back to do crazy, mad, cry, grin, wink, smirk. like that. but you have to use the right word within the colons, of course. -ron o.

I said yes before Jackie added the edit. Thanks, but never mind, forget it. It's not worth all the attention. As long as the words work, fine!
