    No, not right now.  I’m on it, but I have a ton of stuff do, like cleaning the tub.

    Nice dodge. Not only you and I, but others already know you deleted what you had posted, and therefore know you earned this:

    I still don’t have time for this.  I’m just out of step today.  My pets got into the kitchen, so now I have to stop what I’m doing and put all of the tops back on the pots that they knocked over.   Oh God, I also have to clean up the spot the dog left on the carpet.  This post was edited by Livvie at June 16, 2022 8:39 PM MDT

      I doubt he meant palindromes because they do not form a different word.
