    SHAMS - if 1 than S is the last letter as not SHAM from SHAME - 0.
  2. hey DD - believe it or not that's not my answer. a great fit for sure. as you know is often my practice, i kinda cheat by using PoWs to make for a specific answer. no word/letter manipulation this time tho. hey M M - man, too many good answers here. and especially in your previous post. not yet hey LJ - not that, a different kind of sucker.
  3. none of the above. fear too many hints have already steered folks away from the answer. here's a little more info, tho - REREWRITE When it first dawns on you However taxing it may feel A little shot of encouragement Take it from me will help you deal Where all is safe and sound Comfort I afford, complete Shouldn't have to spill the beans For I know you can take the heat Yes, it could be hard to handle But you had better get a grip Or else you might have me to face Hold on, I ain't no drip Just try and contain that anxiousness Sometimes it's best to linger So now it's time you understood And on me you must place your finger

    PROVE - just in case PROBE aint it. EDIT: aannnhh - wont work
  5. hey EDM - still mulling this one over. seems kinda sad but lovely, too. cool.
  6. missed this one earlier, sorry. but not those oh, if only this thing could talk (not meant as a hint). poetic license? sound logic with the above but still looking for something else hey EDM - good guess but, alas, no.
  7. very rarely. would not say I'm a golfer. and no connection to the riddle. can see some potential references ie take the heat, get a grip, maybe an early morning outing. beans? gotta run, okay, play some cards. be back later tonight.
  8. another well thought out response. good fit. and not it. yikes. I do think when the answer comes it will be a wonder why it didnt come earlier. I hope....
  9. none of those C_V - this one is an inanimate tangible object no, not yet, sorry for the confusion. what I meant was the meanings of the it(s) in the riddle have been noticed and even guessed previously. like the first one being morning from the play on words "it first dawns on you". but morning is not the answer to the riddle. I eliminated the 'twill in the rewrite because that it would refer to the answer. The answer is the I or me. nope but get where you're coming from. urr, sorry, no. the last one definitely brought chuckles but then what a mess *picturing gray beans everywhere*.
  10. Edit..add the obvious... hey fabpig, not that, sorry. hello quantum_hole and welcome to the Den - good thoughts both but not the answer am looking for. sad state when it comes down to a process of elimination. you can strike those. hey Molly Mae - just reread with your answer in mind. very cool answer and nice fit. but not what i intended. @all - am afraid this one has become difficult not because the subject is well disguised but because what part of the riddle the subject actually is is poorly defined. from the start, several have hit upon the "it(s)" that are referred to but am wanting the "me/I". sorry for the ambiguity.
  11. aah, you had me going but no and no-O. now am a little leary of an aha moment for this one.

    TRAIL EDIT: looks like I posted the above for several pages back. whoever's up next can take the above as their first guess if they care to.
  13. not that. mulled yet nope, different kind of sucker.
  14. I like the double meaning of the two but not what I meant. mine is perfectly licit if not explicit. and no, too, for the last one.
  15. Okay well maybe not in the spirit of the OP but thinking a little outside of the crate -
  16. Hey C_V - not that but think we're getting close.
  17. hey bonanova - question, is the unequal bit a requirement?
  18. hey LJ - dont know if you checked out my other riddle now just solved but did use that second word in that puzzle. often do get an idea from one puzzle for the next. but that's not my intended answer. not your main guess or the second one. hey, that does fit nicely with alot of the riddle and is also often the answer to just about anything IMO but am still looking for something else.
  19. Thanks to all for sticking with this one. My apologies to the international crowd if the third clue of the final set doesn't translate beyond the American football term. Hope you enjoyed as I sure did. Thanks again.
