Happy Tuesday! In between insults we'll occasionally discuss cigars.  Join in and perhaps learn something along the way. Warning: don't proceed if you have thin skin but don't be afraid to post either... And welcome aboard!

Yesterday it was a triple shot of Lattitudes, today is a triple shot of imitations. I wonder what tomorrow will bring?

Better than the alternative, which is probably triple ACIDs or something (offer void in MA).

No worries, I'd have gotten it anyways. I had 2 greens and a yellow after my second guess, you just probably eliminated a guess or two from the equation.

That's nuts. I never imagined cursive would become obsolete but it's definitely going the way of the dodo.

I get signed forms from the younger crowd, they could definitely use a lesson or two just to get their signatures down.

Even my kids have issues with it, and they did teach them cursive. Unfortunately, they taught them and then never went back to it or used it, so it's like it never happened.

The green was the one I got hung up on. I could also see the potential in the blue, but like any good Connections, there were several entries designed to mislead you into where they belonged. The last 2 guesses were mostly frustration stabs at it. Lol
