Loaded Questions 12/12/22 - Science
Give me some space!
Happy Monday everyone! Today is MD23, and we’ve only got a couple more games this LL season, so if you need some wins, I wish you the best of luck! Also I want to apologize for the last couple weeks. Work has affected me in a way that caused me to focus on me for a little bit, and that caused a few effects, including not updating this as well as I needed to. But I think things are better, and now I’m making sure we will have LQ throughout the end of the year. Want to end the year strong! As a way to make it up, the rest of 2022 will have Monday, Wednesday, and Friday editions free for all, while the other four days will still be subscription based. If you like getting quizzed with very hard questions, I hope you’ll consider subscribing. It’s a fun time. Thanks everyone, and good luck this week!
