I know it's a genus.

Good morning!

Two pangrams and just above 200 points so far. That's probably it for today. Last words yesterday were acacia and acai.

The oxymoronic jailbreak/klutzy ...

Happy solving!

ciao_yall

QBw2LL, could have done it ABM but I got impatient. Last word vivid. LB jailbreak-klutzy.

Happy solving!

Good morning!

Got to genius with the pangrams so far.  Yesterday my final ones were acai, audit.  Husband needed help with his final word (also acai) but almost got there.  He had a long day on site and didn't have as much time as I did, by a long shot.

No luck on LB again! I did have jailbait, which left turkey and Z.  Oh well.  Congrats on your 2fers, Langue_doc and ciao_yall!!

Cathwen, I hope your HVAC work is going well and you are staying cool!

Happy solving!

Good afternoon!

Yesterday I had QBABM for the third day in a row.  That won't happen today, though.  I'm at Beta, but absolutely stuck.  I foresee letter hints at least.  My last word yesterday was tutti.

LB:  I also had jailbreak-klutzy.  No 2fer yet today, though!

The HVAC unit is fixed and it's much more comfortable now.  They also replaced our thermostat with one that has giant blue digits that you can actually read (the last one was dark brown on light brown).  Let's hope there are no more bank account-emptying incidents for a good while!

Happy puzzling!

Good moring!

Two pangrams and genius. It's a slow one today, and I'm out of ideas for more words.

Last word yesterday was denim. Didn't think dizzied was a word, but it was accepted all the same.

megachurch/hominy

Happy solving!

ciao_yall

QBw2LL, needed the nudge for demimonde, nominee. LB megachurch-hominy.

Happy solving!

Good morning!

QBw2LL hints yesterday.  Last words were demimonde and denim.  Today I'm at Beta and, like Langue_doc, out of ideas. 

LB:  No 2fer yesterday!  Congratulations, Langue_doc and ciao_yall!  I do have a 2fer today, though.

Happy puzzling!

Good morning!

Haven't gotten too far on the puzzles today, but I do have the pangrams.  I'm trying to keep puzzles available for what will apparently be a very long appt with the retina specialist to find out what's going on with my eye.  Yesterday we each got down to 2 words and had team QB.  I needed diode, doozie.

Congrats on your solutions yesterday, Langue_doc and ciao_yall! That seemed like a tough one.  I tried and tried but didn't get anywhere.  Congrats on your 2fer today, cathwen!

Happy solving!

Langue_doc

ab_grp, hope your eye problems get the correct diagnosis and treatment.

ab_grp

Thanks, Langue_doc! So far, no real news.  They did a bunch more tests and scans and injected me with dye and took more scans and don't really see anything going on.   The only thing the doctor could see was that the bad eye still has some slight attachment to a membrane, so there might be some tugging going on, whereas the good eye is fully detached.  I have to go back in September since he had no real baseline to work with in order to see if there is any change. Or if I have a shower of floaters before then, go back sooner.   They did check all the structures again, pressure, blood flow, and all looked totally normal.  He said the partial attachment stuff is often symptom-free and that if I hadn't had symptoms he wouldn't even have thought to have mentioned it or that anything was awry.  I am still not clear if I will get the vision back when the detachment is complete? But I guess since the eyes work together, stuff affecting one eye can really throw vision off.  It's kind of bewildering to me, but good news, I guess!

Bad news: I could not load the bee while I was there!! I did get the crossword done, but for some reason the bee part wouldn't load.  So I guess I better get to that as my dilation stuff wears off.  I am definitely looking forward to destressing.

I did get a 2fer! Still not even to genius on the bee, yet.

Parasaurolophus

Blah, two pangrams, no genius.
I know it's a genus.

Langue_doc

Good morning!

Pangram and above genius so far. Missed appetitive, epee, and ipecac--tried all kinds of spelling variants for the last one, but just couldn't come up with the correct one.

curing/galumphs

Happy solving!

ab_grp, hope you get your vision back--must be quite frustrating not to be able to use both eyes.
