What 5 letter word can be rearranged 3 times to get 3 different words each containing 1 more syllable?

Hidden in each of the sentences below are the numbers 1 to 10 in words.

For example, "My parents told me to never cross the road without looking." This sentence contains the number 1: "My parents told me tO NEver cross the road without looking."

A number might appear in more than one sentence, and the numbers aren't necessarily in order! A number also might be hidden in a larger word.


1. The robins love hiding amongst the smooth reeds.
2. It's always worth looking after your friends, even if they've upset you.
3. Even heavyweight boxers like using soft tissues when they have a cold.
4. To avoid the calf, I veered sharply to the left.
5. The eggs were boxed thirteen instead of a dozen in each baker's delivery box.
6. Having salmon every day for lunch gets a little boring after a while.
7. The attendance at the local football match exceeded last weeks by many thousands.
8. We need to waterproof our boots to make sure we don't get wet.
9. Meeting friends after work allows executives to network effectively.
10. The orchestra sounded magnificent with the many virtuosi xylophonists.

Somehow that sounds like a mixture of the movies The Matrix and Inception.

To be honest I can't wrap my head around an altered state of thinking like that. Present day reality is frightening enough as it is.

I would continue to go. Habits are very hard to break and AA will continue to benefit you. Talk it out, your struggles that is. AA is about the support it gives. You need them to rally behind you.

The hypersensitive feelings of social justice snowflakes always abound - you can explain it like you would to a child but it won't make a damm. I'm generally unapologetic anymore.

i need to learn how to do this too.
