Took Linda to the podiatrist yesterday. But, of course, I’m going to have to foot the bill. I asked her to toe the line from here on out. Linda thinks the doc nailed it, but I don’t know — does this X-ray look normal to you?
Alissa S. on our neighborhood site asked that men please stop asking her for photos of herself: This is a community site, not a dating app!
Rick G.: Pay attention guys. Randomly DMing women has a 99.9% failure rate. The only end result is that you’re going to make yourself look bad.
Brian V.: So you’re saying there’s a chance. . .
Esther S. had a different query: “First time on a plane,” she asked. “Where did you go?”
My comment: I went to my assigned seat. I’m not looking for trouble.
Jess Griffiths of the Dull Men’s Club (UK) shared the following news item with the membership, adding: This should liven things up in the south!
John Scotland made the obvious comment: What could possibly go wrong?
Also from the DMC (UK), Paul Clark posts: If you don’t hear from me for a while I’m just resetting the clock in the car.
Graham Wenman: I just put a strip of masking tape over mine until they go forward again.
Paul: Do you write the time on it?
Graham: Nope, just “clock.”
Dudley Jacomb: I’ve managed to find a ten-year-old to do mine.
Alan Kemp: You could just leave it as it is but it won’t tell the correct time for the next six months. If you disconnect it at least it will be correct twice a day.
Nigel Parsons: Roughly 5 months actually, and then there’s roughly 7 months of BST. People always seem to assume its a 6/6 breakdown.
Ian Murdoch: It’s easier to just remember it’s an hour fast.
[OC note: Wow! — I’m one of those who assumed it was 6/6. ]
In the NYTXW today, “‘Laughing’ birds from Down Under” were KOOKABURRAS. Needless to say, I needed much help from the crosses to land it. What are they? Glad you asked.
Egs was on the top of his game. For GO ROGUE, he noted: GOROGUE looks like it ought to be where a Frenchman parks the car.
For SAVETHEDATE, he offered:
Trigger warning! Don’t read this joke if you find that mind-numbing tastelessness causes rage or depression.
Advice ignored at Chappaquiddick: SAVETHEDATE
My own “work” was pretty pedestrian today. I was using LOCH, INKWELL, ELBA (as in Idris ELBA), and GNU, clued with “White-bearded animal in the Serengeti.”
Lomond: LOCH of the Irish?
No, it’s of the Scottish.
Accommodations for Idris: ELBA room.
Tattoo artist’s adjuration to his son who is following in his footsteps: “INKWELL, my boy.”
It disproves the adage: White-bearded animal in the Serengeti working on his tan: GNU under the sun.
Okay. No prob.
Welcome Romeo! Hope you have a good ride. Love you!
One response to “Save the Date”
Congratulations!!!!
