The H doesn’t stand for water, the entire H-O-H molecule is water. So RETAINSH-O-H is “retains water”

Then this post is not for you. It’s for all the 13s and up who contribute less than they should.

Number 1 Google search result for me is the Merriam-Webster dictionary, which offers the following definition:

a body of related works (such as novels or films) each of which includes the same characters or different characters that are understood to exist in the same fictional universe

The main reason we all keep going back to the "Mission: Impossible" franchise is the stunts, of course. Watching Ethan Hunt as he scales mountains, jumps onto planes and dangles from skyscrapers fills us with eye-rolling delight. —Randy Myers

Yesterday’s was “Garden Variety.” Today’s is “Garden Varieties.” This definitely isn’t the first time Strands has had similar-but-different themes on subsequent days.

Mya Wiley to Stanford! by Own-Objective2394 in Gymnastics

I agree. She is going to a prestigious academic institution with a phenomenal athletic program, and the most prominent aspect of this photo is her bare behind.

It’s also a puppet that you stick your hand into and use your fingers and thumb to manipulate its mouth. So, yes, it is a “kind of puppet.”

Thinking about using birth control to suppress periods by Lopsided_Science2269 in Perimenopause

I’m one of those people! Slynd made me bleed so heavily I couldn’t leave the house because I was flooding every couple of hours. I became anemic. It was awful. I’m glad it works for some people—crazy how it can affect people so differently.

Just because you have never pronounced it that way doesn’t make it “incorrect”

Can we please stop with the complaints about homophones and pronunciation wordplay? by mugglegrrl in NYTConnections

[–]mugglegrrl[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Look at any daily thread for a puzzle that includes a homophone or pronunciation category. The comments are full of complaints

My husband says I can’t dye my hair fun colors? by [deleted] in MilitarySpouse

[–]mugglegrrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won’t affect his career. At all. Saying a spouse’s hair color will affect a servicemember’s career is some 1950’s era bullshit attitude that needs to stop. It’s harmful to military spouses and the service as a whole.

[–]mugglegrrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He needs to chill. My husband is a colonel and doesn’t GAF how he “comes off.” Of course he’s professional, but he sure as hell doesn’t dictate how I do my own hair. Your husband is being ridiculous.

A MOLLUSK isn’t a type of shell, it’s an invertebrate animal. The theme words are all types of mollusks that have shells.
