And Part 2

Featured Answer

I had 'pair of tennis shoes' for #2, close enough, I think. At least my clue didn't steer anyone wrong!

I was completely stymied by the bonus puzzle, in fact, had given up on it. When I read Patriciae's comment about it being easy, I looked at it again, and it was like it shouted at me, the answer was so clear! Funny how that happens!

I think I have #1, #3 and #6. I'll get more coffee for the rest.

Oh and Part 2? Not a chance.

I had cry all the way to the bank but I didn't think that sounded right. Don't think I like that one. :-))) I agree that high stakes are equally correct as the stakes are high.

I was right on #'s 1, 2 and 3. I thought #6 was 'stand off'. As for #4, it's kind of funny. "Back to the Future' did briefly cross my mind, but then I read Fun2B's hints. Having no idea of what 'McFly' might be, I figured my idea was wrong. No way I'd ever come up with 'midwife' for #5, but it makes perfect sense when you see it. My mind was hung up on something to do with splitting up with the wife, divorce, something along those lines. Rusty

Sometimes I get fixated on a wrong solution and it takes me longer to get it right. Like #1, I kept wanting it to be "split lip" even knowing that that would look different. Took me awhile to get tulips. #4, I had "go into motion", which I think also works.

Sometimes it takes a pretty good stretch of the imagination to get an answer to fit the clue. Or vice versa. And sometimes I think the puzzle creators don't have a very good command of the English language. Or maybe it's just how different areas have different sayings, or speech patterns, or whatever you want to call it. I've always said 'color inside the lines', too, but I'm calling that a correct answer. Roxsol, I had the right answer for D2, but wasn't real confident about it. I was trying to decide if he was hinting at something else, or whether I would stick with what I had or try to come up with something else. I decided to quit fussing with it and just stay with what I had. Wed. was not a real good day for me, and I think it kind of came through in my posts, sorry. Rusty

I didn't even see Part 2 when I first posted, but it doesn't matter because I have no idea what that is.

What? I only get #1, 3, 4 and 6, maybe 5. The rest, no clue.

#2 and #5 took some thought, but I think I have them all now. No clue on the bonus puzzle, looks like a spell check nightmare to me.

I have all of the first part but I have only a guess for the bonus, and it is probably wrong.

I do not have two and five. I thought the bonus was easy. I must be wrong

Clue for #2, count.

Sorry, can't come up with a clue for the bonus, just have to wait for the answer, I guess.

I changed my solution for #2 after Rusty's clue. Mine made sense, but hers is better.

After Rusty’s clue, I get #2 now. Can’t get the bonus though.

Wow, I got close on #4 with my ideas, but nothing hit the target. And the Bonus? No WAY would I ever have gotten that!

Theae puzzles are fun, jasdip. Thanks!

I got them all also, with help from Rusty's clue for #2. The others I got on my own.
