infernogirl Aug 03, 2005	I got this one. It made me think and also gave me a little headache from all the staring at the words. Thanks for a great teaser.
karenokupniak Aug 03, 2005	Haven't played one like this before -- it's fun.
claramarie Aug 03, 2005	I had fun with this proverb - lol - having single letter in first sentence did help alot! Thanks, it was great
Tracey2209 Aug 03, 2005	This was very easy. I got it from the instructions! Kinda fun, tho!
alleycat08822 Aug 03, 2005	Really fun but I didn't think that the directions were very clear!
Skoolkid Aug 03, 2005	I never heard of that saying before heh. Oh well it was cool.
me-me Aug 03, 2005	you ppl are really smart because this is wat i got so as to air no end and it doesnt even make sense!! oh well great teaser P.S im never good at those kind of tesers
koalamom Aug 03, 2005	I have been doing these teasers for about a month(off & on) and this is only the third one I have solved , but I am catching on. Good One, I figured it out when I seen moss in the last sentence.
bagogirl Aug 03, 2005	I have never heard of that poverb so I didnt get it-it was a good one though
pawz73 Aug 03, 2005	These teasers are fun because I can actually figure them out...once in awhile. Thanks for the fun.
BrenBeadSP Aug 03, 2005	Excellent, it's like two, two, two teasers in one! Thanks for the fun.
greendayrocks52 Aug 03, 2005	great
ErIn_RuLeS Aug 03, 2005	this is a good one
baby4034 Aug 03, 2005	clever
(user deleted) Aug 03, 2005	A had a quick read through them and saw nothing obvious. Then I saw the name Amos which is a bit too unusual, so I got MOSS straight away and the rest became very simple. Nice and easy.
MTK_90 Aug 03, 2005	THIS WAS KINDA HARD!
poison_ivy Aug 03, 2005	What I have to say is exactly the same as Vernando. Amos is not too common, so naturally I looked around that and found MOSS. Then it was so easy because the saying just popped into my mind. Very good! It's going on favorites!
jabdr Aug 03, 2005	I enjoyed this one. Got 'a rolling' right away and knew the answer, but still great fun.
dddlite Aug 03, 2005	Good teaser, I got it but it took me a minute. Once I got "stone rolling" - it got me rolling (so to speak) on the proverb. Good one!
brain_dead Aug 03, 2005	good one
gotabody Aug 03, 2005	i thought each line wud hv been a clue. i didnt like it
karma48 Aug 04, 2005	Instructions vague; Should be 1thru6 not 1thru5 shouldn't it ? Anyway enjoyed it a lot! Fairly easy but enjoyable. Thanks and GOOD JOB!
iblondhaha Aug 04, 2005	i really dont get it
rennebelle Aug 04, 2005	quite nice-- I saw something like this about the books of the Bible once-- very clever job-- way to go!
crazystac0608 Aug 05, 2005	that was good! i got rolling
metallicman Aug 19, 2005	Thanks everyone for commenting and voting
zonarita Mar 15, 2006	Tin, this was done quite well. Great job. Hope you do some more.
PunnettSwears Jun 09, 2006	I got it! Very fun.
zxyggrhyn Aug 03, 2008	Jeieieie. Nice one! When I saw 'rolling stone', I thought of the band and magazine.
mosca Aug 03, 2008	A great teaser! Putting "gathers" togther was brilliant!
doehead Aug 03, 2008	Didn't look for it. Didn't find it. Didn't like it.
jcann Aug 03, 2008	Good work! How did you ever come up with those clever sentences to conceal the words? That must have been a lot harder than solving the puzzle! The clue and the first sentence gave it away for me. I don't know if I could have solved it otherwise. Thanks for the fun!
bradon182001 Aug 03, 2008	Nice teaser. I found it quite difficult, but not impossible. Thanks for posting.
avonma Aug 03, 2008	That was fun! Do some more, please!
jennsingergirl Aug 04, 2008	Too easy. But it was cute!
auntiesis Aug 04, 2008	Very easy, but very clever. Really enjoyed it, but rolling gave the whole thing away..... so it was a piece of cake.
Ladyluck129 Aug 04, 2008	Funny, the first time I heard this proverb was a few weeks ago, and now you have a teaser for it! ^_^ After I got "rolling" I figured out what it was. Great teaser!
gaylewolf Aug 03, 2011	I agree with auntie sis a few years ago - I thought the idea was clever too, but the word "rolling" made it very easy! Thanks for a good one! I'd like to try another one of these! A special hello to KiPA
doehead Aug 03, 2011	AROB. Still didn't like it. Not my thing. Oh well, I'll hope for better tomorrow. I'm glad GiMi liked it, because she is a special friend.
gaylewolf Aug 03, 2011	Doehead, I'm rather surprised you didn't try to solve it. You seem like the type of person who enjoys a challenge! Have a wonderful day, anyway!
teri12265 Aug 03, 2011	I thought it was cleverly put together. I was lost until I saw 'gather'. Added that to 'no' and worked backwards. Here's a happy visual - I just saw a hummingbird then a cardinal in the same rose of sharon. Hope you all have a beautiful day.
rockstar1009 Aug 03, 2011	Fairly simple - I got stuck on a few irrelevant words like "oaf" in 6 and "air" in 4 during the first minute, but during the second minute "gathers" jumped at me, and from there it was simple. Well done.
bestgirl Aug 03, 2011	On this one, I'm with Doehead.
Bajanator Aug 03, 2011	This is super cool, except I didn't know about this kind of puzzle so it was harder for me,
dsjt Aug 03, 2011	I have been rolling this one around in my head for so long it is starting to grow lichen.
Babe Aug 03, 2011	I got it right after stone!! FUn Thanks!

westbrook1 Aug 03, 2011	It was very clever and even more fun, although I got it quickly!
