    Don't know if FB could read my Blogger comments but it throwed up a joke on which side of bed in my FB
    The husband said: my wife let's me sleep on the side closer to door because if I have to go to bathroom in the night, it is easier.
    Wife:nonsense. He would be the first to be attacked if someone breaks in!
    Soulmate! Tu... Tu

      Good one AJ. Was a fan of MBB at the time the show debuted and her essaying of that role at least in the initial seasons then it petered out a bit

    2Dn Categories = Orders. Anno as C(ATEGOR)IES : 'two Gates are 'gate' and 'OR' one broken - meaning 'gate' is jumbled giving ATEGOR which is inserted (into) anagrammed (scattered) 'PIECES' with PE removed (PlacE cleared out)' giving CIES. Hence C(ategor)IES.

      Adding that there is a minus sign (-) indicting removal of PE from PIECES as well

    3. CPC30 September 2022 at 11:35

      You mean 'P(lac)E' cleared gives PE and 'out' is the removal indicator with '-' having no role other than the usual placeholder? I don't know...
