  1. How on earth did they get to "those who wander are not lost" from that puzzle?
  2. Good point. When they first started with "The world" I hoped it would be "The world is waiting."
  3. Is there any white on them? I've forgotten where you are -- I might be able to help ID them.
  4. That really didn't seem to be that hard of a puzzle.
  5. Even the dog didn't walk or run on the escalator!
  6. How hard could breakdancing be? Oh, Phil. Have you watched this show?
  7. "Not as cute." "Speak for yourself!" Heh.
  8. Paragliding -- cool, but I'd be terrified. Glad the fog cleared up, though. Hooray for the full opening!
  9. Put it outside -- the birds will find it! I'd brush my dogs outside and just leave the fur in the yard. Maybe separate the clumps a little to make it easier to pick up, but the birds will love it. Nestbuilding is just getting started. Some birds have more than one batch of babies during breeding season, so they nest multiple times. And goldfinches tend to nest later in the summer. So, depending on the birds you have, nest building might not end until fall migration starts.
  10. When I had dogs, the birds used the shed fur for their nests -- they'd flock to the yard on shedding day. They'll probably like cat fur, too. But the birds aren't likely to stick around if they're disturbed a lot, so if you want them to stay, you should probably use a different door until their babies have fledged. The birds are probably wrens. One of my friends hung up a shirt to dry outside by buttoning the shirt over the clothesline. When he came back a few hours later, a wren had started building a nest inside the shirt!
  11. Add me to the Mongol Horde. I only got the TS of Lessons In Chemistry and meander. That was a really good game! I loved the lead switching back and forth, but I'm glad Amy won in the end.
  12. THERE WAS AN ANT IN MY BED LAST NIGHT!!!! Well, technically, ON the bed, as it was on the bedspread. It died, but I had to strip and re-make my bed (at bedtime!) to make sure it didn't have any friends.
  13. Instaget FJ for me tonight. And woo hoo for the bon vivant and man about town. I find it hard to believe Colby didn't know FJ. Maybe it's not nerdy enough for him (he competed on that Biggest Nerd show a few years ago). I got the TS of eyes, yoke, and neurodivergent. Yes. Ken, sweetie, stop trying to make JIT happen.
  14. IIRC, the carob-as-chocolate travesty began in the early 80s -- I don't remember it in the 70s, but it might have been in the late 70s. And it was indeed a travesty.
  15. I usually go to SuperCuts, because all I really need is for my hair to be shorter. I want it to look exactly the same, but shorter. The new, just-starting-out stylists have a very hard time understanding that. They want to do more! and show off their newly-minted skills. Most of them listen to me, but I've had to go back later to get my hair fixed on occasion. There was one who couldn't get my (curly) hair even, and just kept cutting. I finally had to tell her to stop, or I'd end up with too short hair, but one side was noticeably shorter than the other. The person the next day fixed it quickly and easily.
  16. That is exactly what happened to me. I couldn't get past xenophobia.
  17. Quoting myself to say I found the same items on Amazon. They might still be scammy, but I somehow feel better (-ish) about purchasing from Amazon. I can at least use an Amazon gift card and not hand out my credit card information to some random website.
  18. Bizzy is the one with the ugly sunglasses that look like ski goggles.
  19. I think it only lasted two weeks in my local theater. I didn't get a chance to see it, and after reading this thread, I'm not too sad about it. It did look intriguing from the trailer -- too bad there was no good follow-through.
  20. Has anyone ever purchased anything from AliExpress? Is it legit or scammy? I'm looking for a lightweight, collapsible folding luggage cart, and they have two that look promising. Assuming, of course, that they're real.
  21. I am moving up -- 3/5 this week.
  22. I actually got FJ! I did first think of Ukraine, but knew it was wrong, and went to the -stans. I came up with the correct -stan in the nick of time. Only two TS, though -- Certs and Quito.
