Great2BThin 5 Posted January 6, 2010 thanks apples, will give those candy websites to DD. We thought of ordering Jelly Bellies. Used to love to go to their factory when we lived in CA. At the end we'd buy bunches of 'belly flops', which were deformed jelly Beans. Tasted just as good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlene K 1 Posted January 6, 2010 Great.......oops......I read the post wrong. Yeah, I like the candy bar too. All my kids got married before the candy bar was "in". I guess my daughter may have one, but I kinda think this wedding is country. She is getting married at some ranch in a small town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apples2 19 Posted January 6, 2010 OK Apples any hints on working crosswords? You're talking to the QUEEN of crosswords! Hear's another "forgot to add". When I odered for the wedding last year, I got a lot of the candies at Amazon.com. I just typed in the color of the candy I was looking for and gobs of it popped up. I would do one color at a time. Got some really good deals from Amazon also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apples2 19 Posted January 6, 2010 OK, Great...start in the middle of the crossword first to see if you can get at least 2 of the words and work off of them to spread out to the others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Impressive - you are right - that's the answer I found when I googled it !!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apples2 19 Posted January 6, 2010 Impressive - you are right - that's the answer I found when I googled it !!!! Darn Girl....I sat at the kitchen table with my crossword dictionary and the empty crossword for a half an hour or more to figure that one out. I googled the clue and printed the empty crossword. Figured out the words around that clue but kept coming up with "hail" and it didn't fit. Thing with crosswords is that they throw a key word into the answer (Banshee=wail).
