Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Wordle in 4 today, haven't tried Connections yet.

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

Wordle I get very worked up about. I got to 138 once. After that I switched to picking a start word from the Mini and have never even broken a hundred again.

Connections I play, but I'm not all that emotionally invested.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

My nails are vermilion with a green to gold shimmer topper. The topper makes the polish beneath look more to orange side of things than the red side of things. I expect that this Bee's Knees lacquer is going to look awfully similar when it arrives next week. [link]

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Was your all-yellow guess the word "___" by any chance?

I had that one as an all yellow before I got the actual answer.

Connections was a beast today.

The Bee dictionary has some noticeable gaps, but they have updated it to include some things that got a lot of pushback.

Wordle I get very worked up about. I got to 138 once.

Wait, what does that mean?

Our wings are not tired.

I managed Wordle in 4 today, but found the letter box challenging. Had to restart.

I blew any streaks on the drive north because I was just too tired to get on a computer after driving all day.

eta: Do you do the Hurdle? It is a WaPo dealio, but I do it on the AARP site.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

found the letter box challenging. Had to restart.

I often have to restart, because sometimes I just can't make words at first. I do all the word games while I have my first cup of coffee, and sometimes I need extra caffeine to get them done.

Do you do the Hurdle? It is a WaPo dealio, but I do it on the AARP site.

I don't, but we are AARP members, so I'll check the site.

Awww yeah, power is back! It was a rough 2 hours, but we made it. #neverforget

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

It was, Tep! I also had the pre-coffee weird choice, I guess (Eta high-five to brenda as well)

I don't think my brain works right for Letterboxed. I've only tried it a couple of times but it does not seem at all fun, just hard.

Pretty nails,, PMM!
