Thanks for mentioning this app! I’ve been looking for a way to pass time on my phone and love crosswords! 🙂

If you like word games, 7 Little Words is a fun one. It has daily puzzles also.

I hate Wordle and also play every day. 😹 If I’m awake at midnight, I play Wordle, Connections, and Strands…and then I am allowed to look at the Best Buy deals of the day as though that’s a treat even though they are always garbage and I never buy anything. 🤷‍♀️

I also love Connections and Strands! Of the three, Connections is actually my favorite. I’m a puzzle junkie. Every day, I also do Spelling Bee, Tiles, Letter Boxed and the Crossword in the NYT, and the Crossword, Jumble, Cryptoquote and 7 Little Words in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Can you tell I’m retired, lol?

I have a love/hate relationship with Connections but enjoy Strands. I will have to check out the other games you mentioned! Thanks!

Thank you for telling me about Strands! I wasn’t aware of it. Just played today’s game. I think I’m hooked.

I’ve never heard of the pink drink from Starbucks.  
First of all I go there maybe once a year. I found this recipe on Aldi instagram page. If you like a refreshing drink this is for you.  
The original recipe calls for cran-strawberry juice but I couldn’t find it.  
To a cup fill 1/3 with ice, add equal parts cranberry/raspberry juice and coconut milk. For sweetness add a squirt of agave. Top with fresh strawberries, I added strawberry whip cream.  
All ingredients are from Aldi, but I’m sure any market has these ingredients. My sons Instagram type UCLA fine arts major girlfriend loved it, you know that’s a legitimate seal of approval when a teenage girl likes what you make.

@ParadeofRoses Did you put the main ingredients in a blender?  
Anything kitchen/ cooking related doesn’t come naturally to me but I’d like to try this. It looks delicious!

@Tuxedo no blender necessary! Just your straw to mix it up. You’d think coconut milk mixed with a juice sounds gross but it’s really good! I hope you like it!!🥤

I have bought so many Kim Gravel clothes on E-bay, on Poshmark too. Never pay more than $20 for it and Postmoda always has free shipping. I do like Gravel’s ponte pants, good quality and they fit well. Would ner pay $65+ for them though. Susan Graver, Logo, D&C are all on E-Bay.

I bought from them twice, and received damaged items both times. One was a top that had a hole through the front and back. The other was a vest that arrived with one of the pockets ripped and just hanging with a hole in the fabric. To the seller’s credit, I was given a full refund each time, and didn’t have to return the items.

Agreed. She was a good-looking woman but the work she had done really did her in, especially at such a young age. If she had a medical condition like a skin issue or something, I can understand getting work done and having the bad luck of it being a botch-job. However, if it was done for vanity, and if she can’t accept herself for the way she is, why should we?

First of all, Strawberry Whipped Cream? Lordy!! I’m going to get it. I bet I could squirt the entire can in my mouth :). This recipe looks delicious!
