This IS fun! Thanks hedi for a lighter moment... beer
hedistuff
...
rob solved No. 7 - David
I believe jazzy knew No. 4 - cowhide , though caroljoyce answered 'to hide cows' which is about as direct an answer as one should expect from any witch...and sorry carol, lesser is incorrect (though I think that you are merely toying with me) that leaves 1,2,3,5,and 6 unsolved...

1, Only if he comes back from the dead....
4. making shoes
5. The word short becomes shorter if you add two letters.....dancing
hedistuff
ah andrew... 1. correct, probably not legal since he's dead...
(4. cowhide is most commonly used as...cowhide)... 5. correct, short, becomes shorter....thanks all for playing along...Only numbers 3, 5, and 7, are yet unsolved...hedi
hedistuff
thanks amahlala...3. correct , Mt Everest 7. yes, David (rob) 5. INCORRECT! and go to your room young lady!...we're left with numbers 2 and 6 ....
caroljoyce
Now come off it, Hedi..there is NOWAY lesser can be incorrect. You just did not expect us to be bright enough to know the answer.
hedistuff
caroljoyce...one would never see the words, caroljoyce, expectation, even remotely used together...taking two letters from smaller leaves us small...not less...er..at least I thought it did. ah, of course, from this moment on, all questions in life shall be answered A. correctly B. incorrectly C. caroljoycedly ....any of which would be acceptable...(whew!)
andrew149
2....None...... cos if you do it isn't empty anymore
hedistuff
andrew...close, you're on to something, but no, none is not quite it...
hedistuff
andrew, now you got me thinkin' that your answer..none..is right also..so there are two answers..
andrew149
thanks Hedi, though I have to say that the one about forward and back really has me foxed....lol

5. short?

omg, friday + thinking never goes well here!

thanks for the distraction, hedi! cheers
caroljoyce
Having reflected, it's obvious Andrew is correct, well I am only a birdbrain, sorry.
The answer to 6. Is : middlewards, is this not entirely correct?

Thanks x
professor
caroljoyce
Answer to 2. is; Nickeless.

Andrew, you did good, credit where due.

He will never admit I got 6, he will mumble lengthily about why it isn't in such I way as I don't understand anyway. But I know the truth.peace
hedistuff
oh golly...first off, middlewards is INCORRECT. Andrew gave one of two correct responses to..nickels in a bank (as was noted earlier and caroljoyce knows the other answer). what in the world is NICKLESS? is this an ebonic spelling of someone's name whom you know? so we are left with questions 2 and 6 .
andrew149
Hmmmm.....maybe it might be easier in pounds and pence, instead of American coinage........confused
amahlala
6. The only thing I can think of for the answer is: time.....
caroljoyce
happy valentines day reindeer happy birthday
Makes as much sense as Middlewards not being the right answer.
hedistuff
answer to question 2. one ...after that, it is no longer empty
