Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Add me to the ranks of the Not-Wronged-By-Nilly. And to those who appreciate the yearly Yom Kippur post. It's both informative and encouraging of personal introspection, so thanks for not offending me in any way and for providing this yearly insight.

And on a separate note: Job~ma, Dylan!

There are too many possible words in today’s spelling bee. Who has time for that many words??

Also I have no more meetings today and while I should get things done I don’t wanna.

Our wings are not tired.

There are too many possible words in today’s spelling bee. Who has time for that many words??

Life only allows me so much time to do all my daily games, so I always do 10 words and move on. They need to have an archive for Pips! I want to go back to the beginning when I wasn't doing them.

Also, on yesterday's Spelling Bee, I took longer than usual, so I looked today to see what other words were on the list. For all the words they disallow, yesterday had fanfic and antifa.

In awesome news today, I stopped by the farm market and they had beautiful bi-color corn and absolutely gorgeous tomatoes. Also lots of pumpkins and mums, but I wasn't in the market for those.

Omg are you kidding Laura?? I put in “fanfiction” yesterday and it said no, so I assumed “fanfic” wouldn’t be allowed! Bananas.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

They keep taking games away from me. I have a frikkin' NYT subscription from my office, I'm not paying for my own just to pay fifty cents more to get games.

They took the Mini, Tiles... if they mess with WORDLE its going to be war.

Completely illogical!

I have a running grudge against them for not allowing "mana" when they include many a less familiar word. I always try just before entering "manna" just in case they've changed their mind.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

What odds would you give that "manna" is on their list?

I like to get a pangram before I give up on the Bee but I haven’t been able to yet today

Bob and I separately get to genius ( most days) and then try to finish it up together.
