foque'n A Harry
we are finding pockets of cat pee everywhere.
I'm ready to slaughter him.
do you have a cat?
hah! yes - that would really be something if we didn't
ours does that if her litter box is not pristine enough
could the little guy have a UTI?
I'm going to put litterboxes all around the house
have you had him checked for a urinary infection?
each time this has happened, I take him in and they check for UTI and it's negative.
ends up costing me a fortune, and it turns out he's just doing it cause he's pissed off. no pun.
aw cats
I still haven't found the hairball I heard my cat york up in the middle of the night
lovely.
you will. if it's dried up, put it outside and tell the kids you found an owl pellet :D
for all you who are owned by a cat...I switched litter. we now use a crushed walnut shells instead of clay litter.
24 for later. have a fun day!
we use the dissolvable one, made of corn
it's great

I knew where all of them were going but there were too many combos!
loved the challenge though
yeah, I like that gaem
game
i think i would find it easier if I wrote down my guesses and tried to solve it all before submitting anything....
same
maybe. I usually just highlight 4 and then see if there's another that fits it and then don't submit, but maybe if I planned the big picture out.
good morning everyone :)

No problem. I didn't get the ancient mega-continent clue.
tough little grid. 40 left bbl. doing laundry
Apparently North America and Africa used to be one continent referred to as Pangea. They split about 2 million years ago. There is your history lesson for the day.
hmm, thought that was common knowledge
Oh I am sure it was something I learned once upon a time, but nothing I keep in the forefront of my memory.
I don't have much interest in ancient history.
this interactive map of the world lets you look at continental drift over millions of years and see where your own location would have been on old continents: https://tinyurl.com/ywa59bck
super fun
well made the half way mark
well done!
I'm â…” of the way, and plan to list now, because laze, and evening plans.
May I have a clue for ca6,24 please?
hurshy, that is FABULOUS. Thanks for sharing the link.
Did you get the CA 6,24, JenM?
hurshy, now I want to share this with you. It's an excerpt from a book I'm writing. I think you'll enjoy: But something catastrophic happened around 70,000 years ago that wiped out nearly all humans. One theory posits a giant super volcano in Indonesia erupted. Whatever caused our near-extinction only 1,000 to 30,000 of the hardiest, strongest individuals survived. It was like pushing the reset button on the human race. Those few people lived throughout the African continent until some migrated to other parts of the world, and then adapted to the various climates and conditions by (for example) developing lighter shades of skin. Thus, every person on Earth today is a descendant of that tiny group who survived 70,000 years ago. This explains why most animal DNA has thousands more variations than human DNA. We descended from a tiny gene pool only a millisecond-ago in geologic time. What were we doing those first 65,000 years until recorded history began 5,000 years ago? Who knows? We apparently evolve very, very slowly.
finger food, the ca6
I keep wanting to put in courage
yes, quite the phantom today.
bread on final rise. Looks really promising.
And I had not seen it before ... now I can't NOT see it. lol!
love making bread so satisfying when it rises right
I had an oops and had to run to the store for yeast.
have not baked any since I went gluten free
I see some people making it on line but hesitate due to the no gluten thing
gluten-free baking is a whole other animal, not least for breads.
I have made really nice gluten-free pie crusts.
yep
That's fw for me. Any clues needed?
congrats, ch!
Have fun all! *poof*
oh! firewords.
I'll be around for a while if hints wanted.
