What is funny is I misread the clue the same way. I am hamstrung myself by having been taught to read Look Say hence the misread so it was my last clue to solve. I like to do it top down in turn if I can. It is a sad day when I have to skip around. Oddly enough for me my reading disability can be helpful because this is sort of like chunky anagrams and I am very good at anagrams even though I cant spell for spit. I also don't remember the answer.

Ha! I just copied it and sent it to my friends who know i drink soda all day long....and labeled it the "perfect" mask for me! Loved it.

Dave, the cats are downright nasty. I'm now wearing gloves for all the plant tending. Serious bummer. I wonder if the black widow would eat one? The web says they eat caterpillars. Future science experiment!

Well, I just tried re-posting it on a new thread about the equinox, on Roses Antique Roses, and Other. So far it hasn't shown up. But thank you all most heartily for your solidarity!
