I think I have them all. Not sure about my answer for the bonus. 🤔 It works, but there could be a better answer.

I was feeling all confident because i finished the cryptic crossword, but then i get to this. my brain does feel scrambled now since i can’t get #1, #6, or the bonus. More coffee!

I’ve got unconvincing answers for 4 and bonus and nothing yet for 6.

My brain feels like #1 (That is NOT a hint) :)

I think I have #2, 3 and 5 and the bonus.

I'm surprised you're having trouble with #6. It jumped right out at me.

So far I have only #3 & #4. This one's a bigger challenge than last time!

Maybe I have something for #6.

ETA - And maybe #4 as well.

Lots of maybes for this puzzle.

I'm having trouble with #6, too. And I'm wondering if I'm trying to over complicate it. Haven't been able to figure out the bonus yet, either.

I’m stumped on #1 and #5 as well as the bonus

I got them all but 5.

Might have something for 6. As I’m reviewing I’m less confident with a bunch. Like blfenton, lots of maybes. Only highly confident of 2,3 and 5.

I’m feeling pretty good about all of my answers. I’m relaxing in the shade, moving as little as possible because of the heat. All my energy has been directed to my brain.

#1 - #4 is all I have so far.

I think I have everything, but could be wrong in my answer for the bonus, and actually my answer for 5 may be a stretch too.

Got #5 now - the last 2 escape me.

#1, 6, and Bonus, still eluding me. aargh!

@bpath -- First, I wanted to say hello and try to give you a couple of hints. As usual, I'm right there with you in thinking that 6 was a tough one. As to the bonus, it actually just now came to me - although it was close to what I was thinking before, the actual answer is (I think) more sentimental.

I have everything except for #1.

"hi" @blfenton!

(by the way, if my answer to #1 is correct, it might be a little more obvious to those who aren't seeing it if the box were a bit wider. If I'm not correct, I probably look a little silly saying hi to everyone...)

I have them all except #5, although my answer for the bonus may be all wrong. Like many times before, i am probably over-thinking 5.

For #5 I think the key is the function symbol.

Anybody got any more clues for #6 and the bonus?

For the bonus think of what an emergency crew gets to do to their job.

Lol, think of Jasdip and her neighbour and how quickly she sprang into action.😀

Gosh, I hope that’s correct. I have another answer for the bonus,too but I like this one better.

eta Ignore^^^^^ nope, I don’t like this one better. I’m going back to my original answer.

5 still eludes me even with a clue.

The only thing that jumps out at me for the bonus really doesn't 'fit' how these puzzles usually go, and the clues given make no sense to me at all. So I give up, will just wait for the solution.

Rusty

Well Rox I think I kbow what you’re hinting at for bonus and I had that for a bit but I think it’s something different. Neither are great.

I won’t give a hint for #6 as I’m not convinced of my answer.

As for #1, I’m pretty confident but have no idea why letters is saying hi.

For #6 my hint would be what John Lennon would say about Yoko. At least it seemed that way.

Lol, most of you should ignore my hints as they’re not very good and quite often wrong. I just can’t stay quiet sometimes.

LOL you guys!

The Bonus is something entirely out of the ordinary with my usual puzzles. Sometimes they're phrases, sometimes a different take on words. This is one of the easier ones, imo.

It's something that you would think when you see it.

this is a first for me, i think i have them all, including bonus.

I'm logging off my computer for the night so here are the answers.

Good luck! I'm looking forward to your guesses.

1. Scatter Brain
2. Good Intentions
3. Horseback Riding
4. Daybreak
5. All Things Being Equal
6. Always by my Side

and

A touching moment

I got them all but 5 and doubt I'd ever get that one.

Well, I feel like a big doofus! The bonus is so obvious…now.

I got the rest, though.

eta I had “a moment’s warning.”

All I could see was OMEN in moment.

The bonus seems so obvious now - and I also don't think I'd ever have gotten #6 either 😄

Scatter brain!!! Oh, i thought it was brain wave. wave = ”hi”… yeah, never mind. 😞

I guess scatter brain should’ve been obvious to me - ha! I got the others right, at least.

Boy, do I feel dumb! The bonus is soooooooooooo obvious, as others have said. How could we have not seen it! ! Feel like I need to turn in my puzzle solver badge. Didn't get #6, either. Hanging my head in shame.

LOL lettersatoz! I really couldn't figure out your 'hi' clue, but it does make sense.

Maybe the next puzzle will be better. . . . .

Rusty

Like others, floored that i didn’t get the bonus. I had a shared moment, among other things. Oh well it was just ”bonus” so I still technically got 100%!

I got them all except for #1. I think I was over thinking it. The B didn't look like the other letters and so I thought it was Rain and the B indicated something about rain.

I thought maybe it was circling down so it was Brain drain. i never got Scatter Brain.

i thought one was Brain drain as well^^ got the rest though :)
