Don't be a nut meg... I mean... Michael. There are lots more, as I was telling my friend Eric the other day. (He's a sage when it comes to puns.) After I zinged him with a particularly good one, I said, "It's your turmeric."

(Am I just being a jerk seasoning all my posts with puns?)

Nah, it keeps the thread from being too vanilla. That's my op-onion anyway. I say keep going, but hyssop to you. Either way, DrTom will cumin later and gingerly curry us across the finish lime. If he can't do it, no one cayenne.

It's amazing how you can pepper your posts with puns.

Oh my gosh! I thought that I surely picked a more unique name!

DrTom wrote: ↑Sat Jun 11, 2022 9:37 am I'm in my favorite grocery store the other day and there was this lovely display of herbs; "Nothing beats herbs fresh cut for your cooking" the sign proclaimed. "Put in a sunny place and water every few days for a continual supply of cooking goodness"

So, I buy them, select a sunny place on the porch away from grazing cats, water and wait for the promised bounty.....5 days later:

A complete waste of thyme! There was also a dillemma that soured me, but there was not even anything to photograph. I'm obviously going to have to talk to my gardener, Basil although it is parsley my fault for not adjusting for Florida sun.

Now I feel like Scarlet O'Hara who, when she learned finally that her ancestral home was sold, said TARA GONE?

Hidden in 3D wrote: ↑Sat Jun 11, 2022 1:23 pm I haven’t been posting on my favorite forum too much these last couple of weeks – just too much going on. School has ended for the year (except for our system’s one year-round elementary school). Our education foundation will soon be able to see testing results that will hopefully show that our reading/mentoring program has made an impact on our striving-reader mentees. As May ended, four of our board members (including yours truly) were anxiously awaiting delayed shipments of thousands of books. They finally arrived and we went straight to work labeling them with colored stickers that denoted reading grade-levels. We delivered them to our two pilot schools on June 3rd and 6th where students who met their reading goals were able to choose books. (This part of our reading program is open to all students at the schools, not just the mentees – and thus the reason for ordering thousands of books). My back may never be the same after toting so many heavy book boxes, but it was all worth it to see the delighted looks and hear the heartfelt gratitude from so many children!

P.S. @Bob cruise director : If you are still keeping record, I didn’t work on last week’s meta until Monday afternoon, so mark me LAS. (But I was happy to ee-say e-thay eta-may echinism-may not too long after I finished the grid. A couple of years ago, I would NEVER have gotten that one. Baby steps…)

I bay leaf that would be Hunter X! When he gets going I cannot hold a cannelle to him (sorry had to go to France for that pun!)
