I am a wanderer with no real business here. But I cannot just lurk and read posts from others, so I will shortly begin talking to myself in rather short blurts. There will be typos.
Spouse introduced me to buttered noodles and Mac n tomatoes. Both solidly in my comfort pantry

With a category like "owned", that word should be a hypernym of off the words in the solution. I cannot see "owned" at a hypernym of "bore". "Possessed" would have been the better category, but an easier puzzle

I play Wordle connections and strands daily. All solved today no problem, but connections did one of the things makes me not like it so much. I'll reply to myself to try to obscure the SPOILER

In short, "owned" is neither a hypernym nor a metonym for "bore"

In the yellow on 1/29 the category is "owned". "Bore" & "possessed" are included. I cannot make "bore" entail ownership. Not using any sense of "bore". "Possessed" as category, "owned" and "bore" as members is more coherent, but simplifies the puzzle. I solved it, but it's a poor puzzle for my $

Got ill in Italy. Took a couple of hours and 40€ to get a telehealth visit. Got an email listing 5 meds I should take. Pharmacist shoved 5 boxes across the counter and apologized it was so expensive. It was 60€

What would be the cost of a privatized first class stamp? How long would forever stamps be good? Or are those questions moot because all postage will vary be origin/destination? And how would they figure how to keep junk mail affordable for senders? because they absolutely would.

Nah, I got it was in jest. But Nazi not funny. Probably came off harsher than intended, but I'm standing on no Nazis, even in grammar
