I feel like I still consider myself among the ranks of newbie solvers, but this was the 52nd Monday on my streak. In commemoration of my whole year of puzzling, just wanted to say that this puzzle was a joy - and my new fastest solve time.
I had a big goofy smile on my face this entire solve. Definitely not SO LAME … even though we are teetering on the edge of “dad joke”.
Super pleased with this one, what a fun solve in light (dark?) of the eclipse! Tossing in one more song candidate as well… “Black Hole Sun.”
Breezy Tuesday and fastest ever for me at 6:14. I liked ILK showing up after it being in Monday Connections (and after thinking I had no idea what that word was)!
Just found out I didn’t know how to spell GESUNDHEIT. 🤣
@Allison There are 18th century garments that are called stays, typically an entirely different silhouette than what you’re used to seeing in a corset, but relatively similar in the construction method. I wear stays for a 1721 impression and the link between that and an 1860s corset is what most in my circle would refer to as boning (since whalebone was the stiffener of choice - and imitation whalebone just went in the civil war corset I made!) I had BONE sitting in there for quite a while. This was actually the first I’ve heard of the actual stiffening strip being referred to as a STAY, what a fun tidbit to take away!
@Andrew Well said & fully agreed.
