Back in the dark ages, when Amy and I became new coworkers in the corporate world, she came up to me one day and was asking me something. I’m not very good at shifting focus, so I was probably being kind of non-responsive as I finished whatever I was working on. Whereupon Amy said, “Am I bugging you?” And at the same time, we both said, “I didn’t mean to bug ya!”
That’s how we found out we both liked U2. Rattle and Hum stayed on rotation in my car for years.
One of my favorite songs by U2 is “One,” and I just did a Wordle with it.
2022 ETA: None of the Wordle links are active these days.
Marika sent these little wind-up bugs to Tim and me, and every time I see them, I not only think of Marika, but I say, “Am I bugging you?” and think of Amy, too.
None of which I guess is relevant to anything, except to say that I’ll be more than delighted to bug you with happiness by finding something in this book if you give me a page number between 1 and 611, and another number between 1 and 25 in comments.
119, 21 please. Danke!
You’re most welcome, and the book says:
“having a dictionary by the bed”
my name is mentioned, and I wait up all night and we aren’t first? UGH!
Dash wants 141 number 12
I want 425 number 11
You have to be ever-vigilant to comment before people in Europe and Australia.
Dash gets: “inglenook = a corner by the fireplace; chimney corner”
You get: “low wood beams”
You know what make me happy? How do i save my wordle to my computer?
Hit your PrtSc (Print Screen) key to copy the Wordle — and then paste it into paint. You’re doing a screen capture but it functions beautifully to save a Wordle.
🙂
(This site describes the process, in full.)

Print Screen is the Internet photo thief’s friend! 😉
And of course, by using the code beneath your Wordle, you can copy it to a LJ or blog.
no 327, 2 please!
And the book gives you “two-for-one sales.”
title=”Wordle: Finally”>
alt=”Wordle: Finally”
style=”padding:4px;border:1px solid #ddd”>
We’ll see if that works here.
The code jumbled up when I pasted it here.
:/
Happy Hump Day, Becky!
Might I adopt numbers two and two, please?
🙂
(The Wordle project was fun. My boys will LOVE doing that with their favorite songs, etc. Thanks for linking us!!)
It worked! And you’re very welcome. From the book, you get “moderation.”
Put a bug in my ear from page 31, #10.
And that bug is “a basket of balloons.”
Page 42 #3 please!
And the book gives you “pieces of willow ware.” So THAT’S what they call those dishes. My mother had what she called a “blue willow platter.” Now I know the broader name.
This is great! I’ve always loved those dishes. I was especially fond of the brown ones.
I see them often when I’m in antique and resale shops. I don’t know how you can tell the old ones from the newer ones, but I like them, too.
Can I bug you for p. 473, #16 please?
I hear a buzzing that says “currant bushes with clusters of berries.”
Can I please have page 66, item # 6?
Sincerely,
Beelzebub (friends call me “Bubba”)
You know that The Rhonda, who’s evil, has been to “toolsheds” before you. So you know who to blame if anything’s missing.
Toolsheds… they did that on purpose. What about the older volume? I bet their 666 is hammocks and lemonade.
(And thank you!)
Oops, that was the older book. The newer one is “smelling sweet roasted corn as you drive.” Happy now? Because I was REALLY wanting you to do a few fix-it jobs around this place.
Before the dogs and I go out amidst the bugs, could I have page 249, number 12 please?
Have fun with the bugs! Keep an eye out for “church lofts.”
Wordle! I’ve never heard of it. But now I know it’s very addictive. 🙂
Page 421, # 7 please.
It is addictive. Someone linked to it in my early days of LJ, and I forgot what it was called. I was happy to find it again. And from the book, you get “sunbeam yellow.” Enjoy it!
pppppppp ppp ppp aaaaalllllllleeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzz
(who framed rodger rabbit)
121 6
(this time they’re song-related. the first one is greenday and the last one is Wierd Al.)
Re: pppppppp ppp ppp aaaaalllllllleeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzz
I like your selection, which is “the book that made a difference.” =)
Re: pppppppp ppp ppp aaaaalllllllleeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzz
Hmmm… the two songs that made the difference to look up in a book and find the book that made a difference:
121 guns – green day
(This Song is Just) Six Words Long – Wierd Al Yankovic
🙂
One book that made a difference is The Feingold Diet.
