‘Hey, can I ask you something?’

‘What? I’m not sure I can take another one of your stupid jokes. They kinda make me numb.’

‘So, if I told you a math joke, would it make you #number?’

Good morning.
Today's word is another from the index of my 60yo Xword solver's book, and I've made up a clue for it.

Clue: Anaesthetic you can count on.

Have you worked it out? You should, being wordsmiths!

Answer: #Number.

‘Wow! What did you do to quiet down the kids?’

‘Well, you remember that old #myth- silence is golden?’

‘Of course.’

‘So, that gave me the idea to use a different color.’

‘I’m not following you.’

‘Duct tape is silver.’

Good morning. Today's word is #myth, like the exhortation to writers that we must keep subbing until agents begin fighting over who should have the privilege of representing us.
Or the Tooth Fairy. Your choice. Have fun!

‘What’s for dinner?’

‘Tacos’

‘We had that last night & the night before.’

‘But we got them from different places, so it’s not like having the same thing.’

‘Are we trying a new place tonight?’

‘Yes. I need to #measure the taco quality.’

‘How?’

‘Using a tacometer, of course.’

Good morning.
#November11th is the day we remember with gratitude the immeasurable numbers of people who died fighting fascism. We vowed it would never happen again - but here it is. I pray it doesn't prevail.
Today's word is #measure

‘This looks like a fun bar. I’m meeting up with friends from my book club.’

‘Cool. I can try out my book jokes.’

‘You’re a comedian & a bartender?’

‘Exactly. Do you know what you get when you mix alcohol with #literature?’

‘What?’

‘Tequila Mockingbird.’

‘Whatcha reading?’

‘A book exploring the theoretical concepts of repulsive forces and how electromagnetism counteracts the basic #law of gravity.’

‘Is it any good?’

‘It’s hard to put down.’

The English #language has some strange words.’

‘Tell me about it.’

‘Take the word - Queue - for instance.’

‘What’s so strange about that.’

‘It’s a word, but like, it’s really just the letter Q, with a bunch of other letters following behind it.’

‘How was school today?’

‘Well, Mom, it was an epic day. I did something that will make me go down in #history.’

‘Like a legacy? That sounds exciting. Tell me more.’

‘Actually, I failed my mid-term exam. My grade will do down from a C to a D.’

Good morning! Today's word is #history. Which I wish I'd studied better at school, because I'd enjoy historical novels more. My first husband knew the dates of all the Kings of England, which was useful.
I look forward to reading your mini historical works.

‘You’re a teacher? What grade?’

‘I teach high school #geography.’

‘I never understood the concept of learning something that may be useful in trivia contests someday. Why is that even taught in schools?’

‘Because #geography is where it’s at.’

‘Good thing you’re not an English teacher.’

Good morning! The next word from my Xword book index is #geography - not one of my better subjects from school, though I enjoyed drawing maps.
I still prefer real maps - if I don't know where I am now, how can GPS tell me where to go next?

‘You’re an author?’

‘Guilty as charged.’

‘So, have you written anything I would know?’

‘Not to humble brag or anything, but I’m on my way to becoming #famous.’

‘’Really?’

‘My books have been downloaded on Amazon by nearly 7 people.’

‘Nearly 7?’

‘One person demanded a refund.’

Morning all!
When I flew from my then home in Tenerife to meet an agent, my kids hoped I'd become rich and famous. Unfortunately he turned out to be a scammer, which is partly why I have self-published my books. At least I can trust me!

Today's word is #famous. Have fun!

‘Why won’t you go out with me?’

‘Umm. Let’s just say we’re probably not compatible because we’ve had different levels of #education.’

‘What? You think I’m not smart? Ask me anything. Go ahead.’

‘What’s the capital of Arizona?’

‘Duh, that one’s easy. It’s A.’

When I went to infant school, we had free milk at playtime & after-lunch naps on tiny camp beds. How things have changed for my grandchildren! Now even 5 year-olds use computers.
