I think we are all a little confused Mary Ann...that's why I looked up the registered iris names to be sure I got it right (not that I won't confuse them again!) Sticking tongue out

well the whole thing might go faster if I wasn't distracted by the iris PHOTOS when searching for names... that leads to adding even MORE things to my want list... this is enabling at its finest!

Years ago, The AIS occasionally had these kind of "stories" posted in their bulletin....They did it a little differently, and the "object " was to FIND the "hidden "Iris names.....things to do on cold , winter evenings!!

**Warning - this is just my opinion**

I surrender. Teenybopper started out as a young girl going to a dance, somehow she is now 30. I kept trying to get Dan Laing or anyone to kidnap her, but then she became a super hero ninja of a federal agent (or some such). It IS supposed to be the case of the disappearing Teenybopper, but you all keep making her the hero. She isn't going to go missing now unless she falls down a well. You have made her a bit too self reliant. Poor Don had more to do while fending off the advances of the Honky Tonk Hussy.

I have to agree with you Leslie...I finally gave in to the whims of the group after several attempts to get the story 'on track'. I've noticed a lot of people have 'dropped out'. I think people are focused more on having fun with iris names than with trying to make the story make sense. Perhaps we can just play with this one, then try to be a little more focused on a theme/plot in another one? With a group activity the thing takes on a life of it's own! Sticking tongue out
