0 plainglazed Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 diary or checkbook yeah, more rare answering machine with cassette tape nice read. but that particular line of that rhyme is meant to be literal. a safe or maybe God? hey vee's brain - think you may be picking up on a key reference. dont want to say too much for fear of throwing you off maybe a prayer room and those old telephones does sound reasonable, and those are not what I'm looking for either. cork? umm - nice fit Shakee - not it though - still think there's a definitive answer helped by the last line.

0 plainglazed Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) Flypaper? not it Wilson but do see where you're coming from. hey, can I ask if you are by chance an expat? fear I may once again not have been sensitive enough to the international crowd. A panic room, Bomb Shelter, or Vanity (odd I know)? none of those Framm and certainly wouldnt say odd re that last one (not a hint) Weather vains? The littel taismans that they used to have on door frames? Silver mirror? Skeleton Key? hey Scudo - good to see you. none of those but please give it another shot.
