After a long hiatus we’re back, I won’t bore you with all the details but suffice to say that computer issues and a reading drought were the main causes. My plan to learn to code and create my own Acrostic builder/solver lasted as long as most of my other plans (which means I quit about halfway there). I did find some online resources that simplify the creating process and more importantly will generate an online playable version. The bad news is I can’t get it to work on WordPress, so I’ll link to a page on my blog that will be the playable version, for traditionalists below are images that you can print out and play old-school style. You know the drill – Entertainment purposes only…no gambling please, or not… I’m not your sponsor…etc…etc…

I got three words and gave up.

North Dakota doesn’t exist.
You must be a firster.
I got better!
You must be a guy who pays prostitutes to shit on his chest, because only that sort of person would suggest such a thing.
I got ‘O’. This is my first attempt at one of these but I think I’ve seen that clue before….

Whoa whoa whoa at # U!
Right?! That show is #1
Eggsactly.
We have at least 2 Julia Child shows, the Frugal Gourmet, Justin Wilson, The dude that popularized beer-can chicken and I’m probably missing one, so thats five shows better than “The Nerd Cooks with Puppets Show”
Gun-Totin’ Nerd Teaches Cooking Concepts, Not Just Rote Recipes, With Puppets
It’s nice that the Frug still gets a little respect.
He cooked with puppets too!
no gambling please, or not
Or not. OK. You had me worried there for a moment.
“Bong Water” doesn’t fit in #R
Seriously, is the “2 words” note correct?
Yes, for “R”, and while I’m here let me say that “P” should be 2 words as well but also whatever you call it where one word is initializationised.(the puzzle editors on this site are for shite)
Well, I was up to 8, now I’m down to 6. I might just go smoke a cigar instead.
“V” also?
No “V” is just one rather common word.
Sorry, meant “T”
Yeah, I wasn’t sure what to do with that, “2 words” doesn’t seem right and “one word, one roman numeral” seems a little too much.
*erases ‘R’*
*grumbles*
awesome
will solve on some evening when it’s not NewWife’s birthday

If there’s all this attention when a meager Queen dies, I can only imagine how the world will react to the death of The First Of All Firsters.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and predict that the US flags will not be flown at half mast at all government buildings and US embassies world wide.
But you can dream; you won’t know once you shuffle off this mortal coil anyway.
I do have many enemies inside and outside of the US government.
My sources tell me that the Obamas tried to duplicate my Firsting on three separate occasions with horrific results that will never be made public. It is classified at the top levels of government. I hope it was one of the Trump documents, so the world could know the truth.
Oh so THAT was why they had to seize all Trump’s documents (and some of Melania’s frilly unmentionables).
They had to destroy the records of Firsting attempts of Obama, the Healer (barf).
I’m not going to lie. If I was on that raid, I would have pocketed a pair of her undies.
What is Potent Potables for one thousand
Have any of you irreverent bastards posted this Ode to the Queen yet?
Nobody comes here anymore, it’s too little frequented.
Agreed
Rings Of Power episode 3 brings the wankonry to new heights.
Well, the other side of the county is under an evacuation order, the power companies are turning off power in the name of safety for some and threatening unannounced long term outages for the rest, and the gracious masters have deigned to allow portable generator use as an exception to gas engine ban.
‘gas engine ban’ what?
Gas engine ban? Where do you live again? Imma steer clear I think.
Alex Skarlatos is a political loser and it shows. His current campaign tactic is to run as a left leaning Rino, which apparently is the state party’s approved approach. 🤦♂️ It’s not going to work in November.
Sorry, Alek.
Morning glibs.
I’m going to go back to sleep, but my phone made a noise and I’m trying to figure out if it installed an update without my permission or not.
That can probably wait until morning. Go back to sleep.
Good night.

Fuck Californians. Federal water law has been reasonably settled for decades- and now this shit of charging people to pump water they are legally entitled to. It is evil. I don’t understand why these greedy “over 2 acre” farmers don’t band together in a Federal class action suit against the state. It will take several years but the current Nazgul would probably hand them a win.
I think it’s fear of future harassment and retaliation. By joining in on such a suit they become targets for the totalitarian bureaucracy to inflict pain upon as an example to others.
Yeah, and the courts wouldn’t recognize the harassment as a SLAPP action.
Illegal aliens need water, too.
It’s time I write a new will. Things are very different now compared to our original one.
We need a legal will because “step-parent” is not a legally recognized kinship. So I plan to put my husband as sole beneficiary, but is mathematically more likely for me to outlive him. I want to put his 3 kids as equal to my two siblings (who are married with kids). Spouse wants to put his kids as sole beneficiaries if I die first.
I’ve pretty much decided to go to an attorney (solicitor, in the British parlance) by myself to get it done.
I created custodial IRAs for his three grandkids already, so those need no further legal clarification.
The more sticky parts are my 401k, life insurance, and fully paid off house. How to divvy those up is complicated. And as far as I can gather, kids don’t want the hassle of inheriting “stuff”, like furniture, china, jewelry, etc. But husband has thousands of dollars worth of guitars and amps, I have jewelry and firearms, and gold and silver coins!!
Definitely going to need legal help. How do you guys screen lawyers for this sort of thing?
If there’s an existing Glibs article or forum on this, I’d appreciate the link!!
Have you talked with the kids about it? Would that be a touchy discussion?
Requests for info of this kind would probably get more responses if you posted during the early evening on a nonZoom weekday. It can get sparse around here in the early AM and the weekends.
Also, can someone point me to the comments section that went in depth to vaccines, vax schedules, and misreported adverse effects?
I had opened it in a separate tab but had to reboot since then.
I’m afraid I don’t have that infomation at hand.
Morning, Glibs.
I hate this time between when I wrap up my morning routine and the hotel starts serving breakfast. I keep checking the time like I have to commute to work or something. Even though the only real benefit to being there at open is avoiding the crowds.
I’m amazed at how phenominally stupid broadcast news is these days.
The hotel had a TV on just outside the breakfast area and the enpty heads on it were blathering on about the impact of the change in royals on climeate change.
Of course, it was a fact-free ramble that went in circles. I swear it took them less than ten seconds to start repeating themselves.
I am so glad I am away from that noise again.
You could be at a laundromat like I am.
That’s not on the itenery until I’m far enough into the road trip that washing my accumulated dirty laundry will provide enough clean clothes for the remainder of the trip.
I sleep in my sisters basement right now but at least I have laundry facilities here
I have rocks and a river.
And I need more quarters.
River troll demands a toll?

It sure is quiet on a Saturday morning, Hello Glibbies!
Morning, Yusef.
Mornin Yufus.
I’m counting the days til my road trip, 550 miles, camping and hotels. Im playing courses all the way to Honey harvest, and some breweries as well.
I already started my road trip to the HH, Today I advance to Dayton, where I will linger for a few days to visit glibs and the air force museum.
I leave Friday, take the ferry to Manitowoc then make for eau claire, camp and run north.
Fun drive.
Then I will see you there.
Safe travels
Thanks, you as well.
We’ll be ready!

“Everything that is, except remembered hate. That lives on. “Modern language professor Uju Anya wrote: ‘I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating’ … Uju Anya is an ‘anti racist’ teacher and associate professor at the Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.””
We dodged a bullet when the youngest Patzer decided against Carnegie Mellon. That boy has good instincts.
Good morning all.
Looks like the HH will be well attended this year. It’s a incredibly beautiful morning here on Loose ranch. I’ll be hitting the road for some two wheel therapy in a few.
I have visions of a bemonocled man on a veliocipede with a newfangled mechanical bell on the handlebars.
Don’t forget the orphans rolling their hoops with a stick. The do get a few hours of off time per week.

A 14 year old.
Ponder that over your morning ☕.
Thanks for that nut-punch, Sean. I’m really enjoying my coffee now.
Sorry you couldn’t attend the Polishfest. I hope your wife gets better.
Thanks. She’s a bit better now, PT seems to be helping.

What the hell is going on?

Yup.
Nah, it’s just the federal police running a counterinsurgency operation. January 6th shows us we just can’t be too careful.

“My nose is already running and my ears are sweating,” he said. “You know it’s been a rough morning when your ears are sweating.”
Sounds like a hoot. Do you make your own sauce with the fruits.of your labor?
No sauce. I have a dehydrator, and make Sean’s magic pepper powder.
And I keep some peppers in the freezer too.
