My sincere apologies for not being able to post a grid at all last week. This is the first time in the eight years of this site that I have missed a day and not made it up. I wasn’t able to make an extra one either in all the chaos. So here is one today, and I have a special guest grid, which I was going to post last Friday as well, that’s coming tomorrow. I want that one to stand on its own!
Word count: 72
Mean word length: 5.36
Have something you wanna say? Got a question? Wanna do a guest freestyle? Wanna just say hello? Hit me up by email!
Thanks so much to all who’ve left a tip! It’s much appreciated, believe me.
As always, share this link! Pass it around! New puzzle on Friday!
I have internet access in the new house, but not yet hardwired internet access to my computer (which does not have a wireless adapter). That will likely come in the next day. I have a grid ready, so you will see two on Friday. Sorry for the hold-up!
A word of advance warning here. You might remember last year, when we moved out of our old house, and I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to post anything due to lack of access to internet. The awesome Quiara Vasquez came through with a great grid to help me out then. Well, now we are moving into our new house, and I might not have access to the internet for my computer in time to post the grid on Tuesday. That will not stop me from making one, though; if I can post it Tuesday, I will, and if not, I will post two grids the following Friday.

Nothing to do with this grid, so no spoilers here, but I have to get up on my soapbox for a second here. I hate, hate, hate clues that make light of mental illness, and I’ve seen them all the time in mainstream outlets. Clues use lighthearted phrases to describe people who need medical care for an illness they can’t help but to have. You’ll see LOCO clued as “Out of one’s gourd”, BATS as “Off one’s trolley”, INSANE as “Around the bend, so to speak”. You wouldn’t make light of cancer in a crossword, so why would you do this for mental illness? Would you call someone with cancer “silly little tumor-face”? So why would you call someone with a mental illness “loco” or “off their rocker”? It needs to stop.
