Hmmm…apparently auto-merge happens if you post again right away, never mind if you wanted to separate the comments. Oh well, not important. I would separate this one but….

Good morning! A touch of sadness veils me this morning as I sip my coffee. I liken recent events to a gold rush.

Someone discovers a beautiful nugget and shares the location of that discovery. Old acquaintances flock in to share in the treasure trove. All celebrate the excellent constructed mine and the friendly accommodating folks that inhabit it. It doesn't take long before the trail blazer announces that the old mine, in which many inhabited for years, might reopen with a new portal and be better timbered to avoid frequent cave-ins as the old mine suffered.

Immediately, the trailblazers body guard senses an insurrection by some of the former miners (seniors, not minors) against the proprietor of that mine. A proprietor that didn't even notify the trailblazer or bodyguard of the closing and that is a contentious point for some. The body guard stages a hostile walk out, throwing punches at others as he exits. Many go silent, afraid to go against the trailblazers body guard in case the old mine is reconstructed. The treasure is still in this mine, but requires responsible participation in which some probably can't handle since they lost their supreme status the old mine bestowed on them. Being unable to steal back their old status and not caring to earn it again, they go silent.

This new mine shows promise from the samples I have assayed.

I am starting to feel more cheer. I think getting this out has helped brighten my day. It may have been that second cup of coffee. Going for hot chocolate now. Chocolate always makes me happy.

Faye, just imagine how confusing it all was when you didn’t know the miners or that there were mines. I liken it to crossing the street and getting run over even though you thought you were in the crosswalk. 🤣

Great analogy. I can see where that would be confusing not knowing what was behind all the drama. Sorry this forum had to endure such, but maybe that failed hostile takeover will strengthen this forum. Some seem to think this forum was up for grabs and needed their expertise.

Hey all, what are your plans for today?

Right now getting off the forum and going for my walk, then to the grocery store for a few items. Raining on and off and I hate umbrellas, so careful timing is of the essence. ;)

The word games in the Games threads.

I live in a desert climate, so the spring rains are welcome because we know there will be 90 days in a row of no rain before fall. If I go a hundred miles over the mountains, it is like the UK with lots of rain and overcast.

I like words games, but the ones I have seen on other forums are lame and required no thought. I tried starting one that required some thought, not just an instant reply and it died with the only comment being it was too hard. I have though about starting one with what words can be reversed to make another word. Dog would be gob for example.. What do you think?
 
There was one on SoC. It was too hard. :p Actually, I can only think of a few words that we could use.

OK, scrape it then. If I remember you are a retired librarian. I just noticed in small print in the game section, a mention of my boobs. See my comment on that.
 
Happy Monday!! We are promised a warm sunny day here and I wish the same for you! 🌞
 
Good morning HQ ers! Forecast is for overcast, wind, and sprinkles here, but I am not complaining. I am feeling great this morning and now with my exercise routine complete and one cup of old Joe downed, I await dawn. I live for the dawn, not the sunset. Hope everyone is having a good day.

Good afternoon, have a great day!
 
My dog snores. :) I just heard her go,"Snxxxxxzzzzz". I think she wakes herself up snoring because she only does it once.
