Great job Meagan!!! I was kind of late getting on board with this one. I did my list but only made it to 93 1/2... 😎
This was a lot of fun, and 2 minutes under. Wtg. 👏
Swiper no swiping! 🤣 So your goose is Golly and one cat is Nusa. What is your other cat named? And do you have names for all your 8 chickens? I enjoyed reading this!
You did a phenomenal job!
Ah, the power of an ADHD brain. It appears that I may or may not have enough ADHD for this challenge. It also appears that the secret to winning this challenge is one liners. Why would people tell You not to get a goose? Does Your goose lay golden eggs? Red horseshoe magnets are pretty goated, ngl. Getting stuck in an elevator may ruin Your day, but not as badly as having the elevator fall. I'm surprised it's not the bear eating all of Your chickens instead of the fox. Sure, foxes eat chickens, but wouldn't the bear just easily break through Your fence? Bears are scary.
This is really entertaining! You’re definitely an artist 🧑🎨
Now that was fun. I'm so glad you did this challenge in my stead. my favorite ones were the no yell bell and it only works half the time and Swiper no swiping, that took me back to when my kids were younger. I think I enjoyed watching those shows more than they did. LOL.
Congratulations, you did it! (At least I'm assuming you did. You didn't actually tell us.) I wonder if I could do 100 comments in 20 minutes? Nope, not even gonna try. Maybe I could 20 comments in 100 minutes. That might work.
This is the most bouncy random free verse ever! I especially love these: "48. I work with a lot of rich people. 49. Their credit cards are heavier." great job on the challenge!
I really want to do this but I get nervous lol
