Wordle: 6/6. Didn't think I was going to get it today.

I don’t really consider it an English word though we have adopted it.

Four!

This article has been around a while (since last fall) but if you haven't seen it before, and know the Jardiance commercial, it's fun.

"Stephen Sondheim Dissects the Jardiance Jingle"

That was fun, except that he sabotage his own premise by "rhyming" rips with scrip.

Sondheim would not have approved.

This is the suggested lyric:

Quote

“The math is simple, I’m no Archimedes
A type A gal with type 2 diabetes
One little pill
Well, that’s my fill
So says the good Dr. Rosen
Each time he rips
An illegible scrip
Of once-daily empagliflozin”

I'd suggest:

Each time he'd rip
An illegible scrip

Seemed pretty darned obvious to me.

Sad to report but Evie the cat has crossed the rainbow bridge. She was sick for only a couple of days, so that was a blessing.

If this were The Notebook, scrip would be “rhymed” with something like Flipper or shibboleth.

Off to dance for a while.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #106 on:** July 31, 2024, 06:19:10 PM »

Rehearsal was fine....Something Rotten was moving its costumes from the Costume Loft/Shop to the dressing rooms.

Chaos ensued.

Chaos is my friend. Must be. I seem to court it

John G. · « **Reply #110 on:** July 31, 2024, 06:29:52 PM »

Back from dancing.

John G. · « **Reply #111 on:** July 31, 2024, 06:30:18 PM »

I'm tired.

John G. · « **Reply #112 on:** July 31, 2024, 06:30:50 PM »

I can't wait until Saturday's competition is over.

singdaw · « **Reply #113 on:** July 31, 2024, 06:35:46 PM »

We're all amazed that you can dance through your pain, DR John G.

singdaw · « **Reply #114 on:** July 31, 2024, 06:52:19 PM »

I know we need more posts.

singdaw · « **Reply #115 on:** July 31, 2024, 06:52:30 PM »

But I am just exhausted.

singdaw · « **Reply #116 on:** July 31, 2024, 06:52:44 PM »

A trying day at work, and hours of overtime.

singdaw · « **Reply #117 on:** July 31, 2024, 06:53:02 PM »

We just are not staffed up for the volume we are handling.

singdaw · « **Reply #118 on:** July 31, 2024, 06:53:18 PM »

We just got approved to add 3 more people to our department.

singdaw · « **Reply #119 on:** July 31, 2024, 06:53:34 PM »

But it will be months before they are hired and trained.
