Thanks for the birthday wishes, gang!

If you have any spare health~ma, I'm taking Mom to her next cancer surgery and chemo session in a couple of hours. The procedures are pretty routine and not terribly taxing at this point, but I'd like to hope against hope that they manage to get it all this time and she doesn't suffer a recurrence.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I accidentally sent it to Teppy! I'm thinking it was a subconscious effort to taunt her to visit Otter Lake.

I will come eat that chili any time!

Good luck Matt!!

Anyone else do connections today? I have a quibble with their vocabulary. I googled and some dictionaries are with me but others don’t see a difference. I think instead of using staunch they should have used stanch

Thanks for that.

Mom is all about the clear whey isolate in popsicle form. There are lots of brands, her favorite is [link]

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good luck, Matt!

I think you are right, meara, although it didn't ping me at all while doing the puzzle. Would have messed me up if it had...

Despite two misses I thought it was not as bad as some. Testing to see if the results share....... eta: and they did once I added returns

Since I am leaving here in a couple of weeks, you will just have to come to FL this winter, and I'll make some.

I see what you mean, meara. According to what I'm seeing, both ways for the verb are right, but what you suggest is the most common.

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

I went to Walgreens this morning and got shot -- twice. Annual 'flu and covid vaccinations. I've never had them both at the same time before, so I'm hoping my immune system copes okay.

Thank you for the birthday wishes. It was very rainy but The Math Greek was here so I was happy to just hang out and watch movies.

I did briefly lament the lack of corn muffins in the house, but I really don't eat chili with carbs anymore.

One of the worst things about the strict lacto-vegetarian nature of my current kitchen.

One of the easier ones I thought. But it leant itself to my new method of identifying the most likely purple "word" first.
