Hello there, HollyMerry! I thought I'd drop by with an Account Anniversary review for you.
Well, the gingerbread kids were fortunate not to have run into a hungry woodland creature, but that puppy was almost their undoing! They were also lucky Oberon was there to provide some on-the-spot training for that little westie. Pebbles didn't really mean any harm, but gingerbread is gingerbread and if it's past lunchtime, well... It seems to me the gingerbread girl took her fingers in her hands, giving Pebbles a toothbrushing like she did, but it all worked out, and Pebbles was introduced to a good reason to use the proper toothpaste.
Once again, peer pressure overrides common sense; unfortunately, even the one providing the resistance allowed himself to get caught up in the foolishness - with the expected results.
You chose just the right words to impart the feeling of climbing up someplace high, just to say you did it. My impression was of a vantage point with a height somewhere between the water tower from That '70s Show and the radio tower in Kindergarten Cop, both of which are more than high enough to make me uneasy.
Thanks for sharing this with us, and best of luck in the contest!
Hey there, coldor! I found this Word Search puzzle via the Browse By Type tab and decided to give it a try.
I don't know much about Pokemon, other than the fact that it's very popular and my grandson has some merch. I didn't have a particularly hard time finding the Champions, although the ones with shorter names were a bit more of a challenge. I also don't know just how many Champions there are, but this seems like a nice selection from the overall candidate group.
Thanks for deciding to jump into the puzzle pool and setting this up for us!
Hey there, 🐺Wolfkingdom🏰! I followed the boisterous sound of fun and frolic and found your Word Search!
You've got the basics covered with the terms you chose for this puzzle. Popular locations, iconic treats, and nostalgia-laden activities all make an appearance. 'Memories' is one of the words, and those are exactly what are conjured up by many of the words: barn raising, more beach-themed movies than I can count - some with bonfires, some without - and, of course, tunes to party by!
Hello there, ~Sue~! I'm just dropping by with an Account Anniversary review for you.
I like this poem. I like how it poses simple questions that carry such emotional content. Who wouldn't appreciate a smile or gentle touch? Having received them, who wouldn't want them to continue to the end of their days?
I also like the formatting. To me, it looks like the relationship's beginning is represented by a few syllables, but then grows over time. Very nice.
Comment: When I first read this, I almost expected the 4th line to read 'asking too much', which would have set up a different rhyme with the previous line. However, that would have ruined the 'echo' between the 4th and final lines. So, I'm not suggesting a change of any kind, just saying I noticed the connection between the parts; your poem is just fine as it is.
Thanks for keeping this available for all to read!
Hello, werden! I'm just dropping by with an Account Anniversary review for you.
Poor Harry! Having loved - well, loved as well as a geeky teenager can - and lost, I can certainly feel Harry's pain. This feels like the sort of break-up thing that happens in every high school more times than anyone could guess, although George's solution strikes me as fairly unique. He is being a good friend to Harry, though, trying to get him to get out of his 'woe is me' attitude and get back to living life. From the ending, it looks as if he's succeeded.
Hey there, Jay O'Toole! I thought I'd drop by with an Account Anniversary review for you...
...and, hello right back at you! It's different, but nice, to see your words "at home" versus in the JOTtings that regularly appear in the Newsfeed. I like the rhyme and rhythm you chose for your "howdy", as well as your message that poetry can tell a tale, but there's a place for prose, too.
Famous (almost) last words, indeed! I don't think I ever used an umbrella, or even a sheet or pillowcase, but I'll cop to having gone from rooftop to Ground Zero more than once. Just as in your tale, many stories featuring some similar scenario feature one voice of reason who, more often than not, is ignored. In my case, the other voice was my younger brother, whose only query was, "Who goes first?" At least you let your Mike off easy, with what appears to be a mild injury to only one leg.
Greetings, LdyPhoenix! I thought I would drop by with an Account Anniversary review for you.
Your story of a young man smitten with a young woman, but unable to verbally express himself, certainly struck a chord with me; sharing the same name didn't hurt, either. I was never good at expressing myself with girls, and absolutely wimped out at any number of opportunities to advance the few relationships I attempted... until the last one (thank goodness ).
I like how you set each little scene, showing the passage of time and the sameness of Mikey's response to a chance to say something meaningful to Katie, and I'm glad you finally used his son's wedding speech to give him the courage to take that next step.
Comment: We know that Michael was divorced, but we don't know why Katie and her daughter were alone. Divorced? Widowed? Something else? It's no big deal, but it's a question.
Hey there, two of four! I thought I'd drop by with an Account Anniversary review for you.
Your story reminds me a bit of episodes of that TV series, "The Ghost Whisperer", even though George is talking directly to Alice, rather than through a third party. It's too bad Alice kept interrupting him, so that he could explain why everything would be alright (life insurance, Workman's Comp., whatever), but it's nice you gave him a chance to tell her he loved her one last time.
If such a thing were possible - if a ghost really could interact with the living for a limited time - then this scenario would be completely plausible, expected even, given George's love for his wife.
Thanks for sharing this supernatural love story with us.
Hey there, AliceLvs2Write! I thought I'd drop by with an Account Anniversary review for you.
Your hope that an eventual reader could relate to your tale has been granted! I'm not overly fond of washing my hair, either, mostly because it gets oily enough fast enough to make it a pain. Fortunately, the pain is reduced by the fact that, unlike your tresses, my hair is normally short enough that a few minutes spent bending over the kitchen sink is sufficient to reduce the follicle-based oil slick to a few random patches.
Were I to somehow allow my hair to approach a length capable of being styled, I'd undoubtedly also avail myself of the services of a bona fide salon. At any rate, your approach to hair styling seems eminently workable, and I too have a nice collection of well-used baseball caps.
Hi, Irena Horodynska! I thought I'd drop by for an Account Anniversary Review and I found this poem.
I enjoyed reading this love poem. I like the sensations and feelings you described, and the desire both parties felt to keep the shared moment in memory forever. You paint us a picture of true love, of sharing a life - and it's beautiful.
Hello there, AmyJo-July 2/3s done! Online Merriam-Webster at the ready, I'm prepared to dive into your latest challenge!
There are definitely more than a few words that, even if not unknown to me, are possessed of a meaning of which I am at least uncertain. Of course, that doesn't include that site favorite: defenestrate. That one has appeared more than once in various Newsfeed posts.
Thanks so much for sharing these cool-sounding and -looking words with us!
Hey there, 🐺Wolfkingdom🏰! I saw your Newsfeed post and, being willing to risk getting fur in my mouth, decided to take a look.
Not the biggest Word Search grid we've seen here, but possibly one of the most difficult in terms of correctly identifying a specific word, seeing as how every last one of them begins with the same five letters. You've created an original puzzle, that's for sure; thanks for sharing it with us!
Hey there, Joy! I'm just dropping by with an Account Anniversary Review for you.
I definitely picked up the vibe of the busy and crowded downtown area of a big city. There was the feeling of masses of people being herded between the lines of the various crosswalks, shadows tinged blue by the sky reflected in mirrored windows, the lies being told by all the storefronts - "Buy here! Buy here! You'll be better for it!" - when all they can deliver is a cover-up to what you already are... And then you spot something that reminds you of your mother, and the years roll back for a time.
This is a wonderful poem detailing the reality that can be observed on a daily basis, if we only take the time. Thanks so much for sharing it with us!
Hey there, Krista! I found this Word Search via The Hub's Browse By Type and thought I might venture in.
I wasn't raised in the Catholic faith, but my own upbringing - along with a fair amount of reading and more than a few TV shows - have resulted in many of these terms already being familiar to me. It's nice that many of them are used in everyday Catholic life, and cool that some of them point to a specific season or time of year.
Suggestions: SALVATION appears twice in the listing (fortunately, the system strikes both listings through simultaneously), so you may want to remove one of them. Also, I believe the correct spelling is EUCHARIST.
Thanks for sharing this with us, and best of luck with your learning!

Hey there, staiNed! I found this Word Search via The Hub's Browse By Type and thought I'd venture into the world of manga.
What I know about manga would easily fit into a two-page chapbook. However - that doesn't keep me from appreciating the time you took to assemble this cast of characters and incorporating them into a fine puzzle! You also used compound nouns to good effect, creating a good-sized puzzle for your fellow word searchers.
Hello, Steve M! I'm responding to your Review request.
What a tale of duty, bravery and tragedy! Like the jumper claimed by the Mississippi, I was swept along in the current of your story. Every paragraph added to the story, building the suspense up to the fateful moments of the jumper's arrival and the Seaman's unfortunate trip overboard. The descriptions of the various actions taken by the characters really carried the story along to its bittersweet ending.
Suggestion(s): Formatting-wise, I would suggest three fairly minor things: add two blank lines between the title and the text, add a blank line between paragraphs, and increase the font size to at least 3.5. Each of these tweaks would make your writing more accessible to readers with vision issues, or anyone trying to check out your writing on their phone's little screen.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us, and write on!

Hey there, Amethyst Angel 🌼! I found your latest work via The Hub's Browse By Type and thought I'd check to see if my name made the list.
No surprise - I didn't. However, the list of personages who did make the list represent some truly amazing people. They occupy honored places in history, and not just local history in time and space, but around the world and going back hundreds of years. You've created a truly inspirational Word Search and - to my delight - used compound nouns to have the system create a very large grid. Thanks!
Hey there, Dave Ryan! An analysis of available arrangements argued in favor of attempting this.
Rumor has it you can construct entire sentences in Czech without encountering any vowel, let alone the first one in the alphabet. Most of these are undoubtedly familiar to many of us, but there are a few surprises (e.g. Akasaka, Kanakanak, Wassamassaw). A cool idea, well executed - thanks!
Hey there, Nadnerb! I came across this Word Search via The Hub's Browse By Type tab, so I thought I'd take a chance on it.
While I appreciate your tip in the Brief Description field, diving into the 'Net deep enough to become even barely conversant with the world that's the source of these interesting words, would take more time than I have available. Fortunately, it's not an actual prerequisite for locating their various hiding places within the larger-than-usual grid (my preferred kind). There are more than enough spare letters in the grid to allow a searcher to get lost down many a false trail - well done.
Hey there, G. B. Williams! I thought I'd drop by with an Account Anniversary Review for you.
It's sure a good thing you were on your toes, and that your gut was on guard! Those rascals will try anything to get someone's account information, but you outsmarted them. I could be wrong but I think the last 3 digits of that bogus code may have tipped off your gut. Even if I were positive I was speaking to my actual bank / company, I would have requested a new one just on general principle (not a fan of 'triple 6').
Your phone number list is interesting. Amazing, isn't it, how many 'real' numbers are associated with scam calls? Thanks for sharing this with us!
Hey there, Dave Ryan! I found this puzzle via The Hub's Browse By Type and just had to take a trip up north.
Out of the seemingly endless possibilities, you certainly chose twenty-five great town names! They're long, which leads to a search grid of impressive size. Also, the names are chock full of vowels, which means that finding them in the grid is a serious undertaking - great job!
So many things recommended this puzzle to me: the names are interesting, Scotland is home to both the westernmost and northernmost points in the UK and, of course, it's the ancestral home of one Commander / Captain Montgomery Scott, Chief Engineering Officer [] of the U.S.S. Enterprise.
Thanks for sharing this with us! Live long and prosper!
Hello there, C.E. Thieroff! I'm just dropping by with an Account Anniversary review for you.
I like how you contrast the difference between nighttime in the city and out in nature (or, at least, away from the hustle and bustle and skyscrapers). Seeing stars at night is a completely different experience in the city versus away from it, and I like how you bring out the different way feelings are affected.
Favorite line(s): "I am a man alone, bathing in nights beauty." That's my favorite line, but the whole verse creates a very lovely mental image.
Suggestion(s): In the last verse, I believe it should be Man's vs Mans'.
