I wonder if this helped push through aid for Ukraine.

“Walk this way”

Prior to last year I had presumed I'd read it at some point, but now I'm certain I had not. I was surprised how much of the story I was unaware of considering Dracula stories/folklore were a part of my youth. 'Creature Feature' Friday night movies were staples of sleepovers.

This. Agreed.

What a horrible waste, in every sense of the word.

Dave, I find Connections fun.. or terribly baffling! Although I believe I've become better at playing it. Inanna, yes, I think that would add to the difficulty.

Still working on Strands...

Are HIPPA like laws needed for jurors? Sheesh. People are mental.

Greene also wanted money for the Hawaii/Maui fires because there are conspiracy theories, which she must buy into, which claim the Maui fires were caused by a 'Direct Energy Weapon'.

“Sew what?”

Trump has been making (false/twisted) comments regarding things he claims the judge has said which has caused media outrage. I'm sure he'll kee...

Nice V!

“The long run”



Maria, that reminds me a little of the Letter Garden game I play.

She adds that more than a skewed politics, "the core editorial problem at NPR" has been "an abundance of caution that often crossed the border to cowardice. NPR culture encouraged an editorial fixation on finding the exact middle point of the elite political and social thought, plant...

I was wondering what your opinion of this would be.

I am discouraged (and disturbed) when people feel that someone like Trump 'speaks their mind' when so much of what he has to say isn't based on facts.

That's OK Inanna, we don't issue penalties.

N.E. that's crazy! Sunny, I don't know if I'd trust statistics coming from some of those countries. Or I'd question if there is a world wide standard for what is considered 'literacy'. The U.S. uses different levels, most adults having at least level 1, but perhaps the standards are higher? MY searc...

Nice job V.!

I thought this one was fairly easy, but I'm glad I had a heads up Dave.
