Game mod team is down again because _____________________________________
(didn't know the team was down)... but maybe something to do with

the chess jungle laws of survival of the fittest and natural selection.




* ... there are interstate highways in Hawaii ____________




Note: Time for poolside ping pong and my afternoon swim. Later... 🙂

Perhaps to make room for new ones... including yours, Kfen. By the way, last night Mom's manual notebook 'Five Letter Word Chain',

begun a full two weeks after RHP "World's Longest... ", reached nine hundred and twenty seven (927) with 'races'. She's 89 and has

done 98% of it on her own, with a little phone contribution from my brother in TX and yours truly on her nightly calls. Resourceful gal.


Light a candle, Kfen!

That is quite the accomplishment. I was wondering how well along that was going, but 927! Wow. Am leaving to go to a friend's house for dinner now, really close to the beach and salt pond(s). I will need some form of mosquito repelling candle...I am not quite sure how they handle all those bugs down there. I have no idea, but I guess I'm just a little more susceptible to the nasty little critters.

Have fun everybody,

Kfen, please let HandyAndy, et al, know that our new RHP title

* the reason why... brassiere is singular and panties plural __________

GB, due to my lack of sensitivity training, the answer I was hoping for was, " ... because I enjoy it!"

That's in response to the, "I don't suffer from dyslexia ..." precursor, not the bra and panties thing, LOL

The insensitivity may be all mine. Know very little, except that it may

be genetically transmitted. Please describe things I don't yet know.

Because they are built to the Interstate Highway System standards and paid for in part by those funds. Many loops and spurs are part of the Interstate, yet never leave the state they are in (Loop 410 in San Antonio, Loop 610 in Houston).

Wow! You do know stuff, Counselor. You still need to do an edit to pose the next "the reason why...

You enjoy yesterday's mail? Also did you approve of the new 'lampost corner' coat of paint? -gb

So we can concentrate on the task at hand in a quiet environment


Why is it that "monosyllabic" is polysyllabic, but "polysyllabic" is not monosyllabic?

Perhaps 7-ll's plan to close for a day in leap years.

Well, we break eggs to do sunny side up and maybe

Chicken Little was right about the sky falling.

We are probably too busy trying to find another word for synonym.
