 		RedHatty, you amaze me! You're everywhere, Smile

I am frustrated. I figured out

Tried looking for a blogspot...no luck.

I don't have as much trouble with the puzzles as finding the stuff.

Refer to the hint above for #5

Okay - too many things at once!!!!

Let me fix this - #6 - brings great joy

#5 - I thought I didn't have a snowball's chance in H*** of getting right
*anagram helper will not help on this one*

SO SORRY to confuse you - I confused myself!
