Joe

Too many proper names. I had to Google to finish. Not a fan of this one.

That was a chore. I am glad it is over.

Didn't understand the theme until I read the column. Pronouncing Paras as Pair o's doesn't come naturally to me so missed this one.

TIL there are 60 billion nematodes per human in the Earth's topsoil. No wonder my tomatoes get attacked by nematodes! It's a losing battle!

Congrats on constructing this but not my cup of joe.

I was sleepy and it's hot today so I fell asleep a few times while working this. So probably my all-time slowest solve. However, I did enjoy the theme today.

I found this puzzle to be nearly impossible. Congrats to those who found it doable.

I was hoping for an easy one for my birthday. But I guess not. Didn't really care for this one honestly.

One of the harder Fridays. For me at least.

This was fun. Figured out the trick very early. I was stuck on the SW corner at the end. Not sure why. Thanks!

Came here for the complaints. I was not disappointed. Personally, I liked this puzzle.

I enjoyed that theme. I solve on my phone so I had to Google a picture of a keyboard.

Nice theme. Most Mondays I don't pay attention to the theme. This one was clever.

I'm dancing a JIG after solving this one. That has appeared quite a bit recently, hasn't it? Loved this puzzle.

I grow Brown Turkey and Celeste figs which do not require wasps for pollination. No bugs for me!

I recognized the font for the numbers and their arrangement right away so I knew this was going to be an enjoyable puzzle. Loved it! Especially 26D

Love the QQs. I caught right on. A good Thursday for me for once.

I really enjoyed this one. Clever theme answers. Thanks!

Golf clap for this one. Some days I just don't/want need the struggle.

The puzzle is not finishing for me. I have everything filled in. I switched to list mode and I can see i must typed the wrong letter for one of the pics but I can't correct it. Im in limbo. Boooooo

I zipped through that one. The long across entries were intimidating but then I started rolling. Nice puzzle!

I finished the puzzle in record time. Once I saw the trick it was easy to fill in the long themers. But I still don't see how they pull together. Ive read many of the comments. We add row to make grow, sorrow and tomorrow. But so what?

I found today's puzzle much easier than yesterday's. Not bragging. I'll be struggling tomorrow. Is it just me? Enjoyed them both.
