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 was awake from about 230am until about 6am. When I finally fell back asleep for 30 minutes before my alarm. Boo. Fingers crossed for a slow work day.
