I think C3 and D1 are written incorrectly, personally; each of them should take up 3 lines, don’t you think?

The bonus took me a minute! So did C1, I was using the wrong word. Once that happens, it can be hard to escape that mindset.

These puzzles aren't reruns to me, tho some of the answers seem to be.

Stuck on C1, C2, D1 & the bonus...

Nope, pretty sure this puzzle isn't a repeat.

I think I have them all but B1, C2, and D1. although a couple of the other answers are a bit 'iffy'. Also have a couple of guesses for the bonus, but I don't think they are right, the order of the words doesn't fit the saying that comes immediately to mind.

bpath, I disagree with you about C3. If my answer is correct, it is written exactly right. I have no ideas for D1 yet, so can't say about it, but trying to use your comment to come up with an answer.

Rusty

Rusty, maybe it’s just a pronunciation thing. I won’t be picky :)

A real stretch of the imagination gives me an idea for B1. . . . . . .

Rusty

A1 and A3 are not coming to me on the first run through but i have the rest.

Rusty, you will get D1, just keep looking at it.

eta, just got A1

C3 is written correctly. I do disagree with the way D1 is portrayed, but give it your best shot, however you want to say it.

Struggling with D1, D2 and the easy bonus.

ETA - In case anyone’s phone is displaying like mine, there’s ”duty” at the end of the bonus.

ETA again oops I see that was already mentioned in OP.

I think it was just dumb luck that the bonus literally jumped out at me as I was opening the paper to take the picture. Looking at it now, I think that was just a lucky coincidence. Maybe it's not that easy! LOL

Got D2

And D1 just need the easy bonus!

Finally made sense of A3 and think i have them all now.

Even though i got A1, I would have portrayed that one differently for it to make better sense. unless i have it wrong, which is possible.

I agree with you about A1, outsideplaying

Am not finding the bonus easy, but think I have the others.

Why am I the only one not getting B2?

I am also not getting the easy bonus.

I still don't have D1, D2 or the bonus. siiggh.

Got C1 & D1 now 🙂

Still no idea on C2.

Wondering if we're supposed to fill in the blank on the bonus?

D1 and 2 are kind of old phrases, and D1 is in a similar form as C3, I believe.

Carol you just made me look up the origins of D1; I was ignorant as to exacty what it was. Thought it was just a natural condition.

OK, I got B2! Finally.

With my help?

The music? I wish. I cant read music. I wondered if it was a clue.

Got C2 - now all I need is the bonus...

Music can be peace and happiness 😊

Sweet nirvana.

Does ANYONE have an answer forbthe easy bonus that they’re comfortable with?

I think I do. lol, but you know me. I’m pretty comfortable with a lot of my answers that are wrong.

That’s not a blank but a line in the bonus.

Okay, second look at the bonus, I’m not totally comfortable with my answer, but pretty comfortable.

Yes, I do, foodonastump. It would be kind of a humble thing to say.

Just getting here now, and actually, all of these came pretty easily to me. For those still struggling with the bonus, solve it the same way you did A3, C3 and D3. Does that help?

^^^ why yes it does!!

Hmmmmm, Not sure if it is thanks to lettersatoz's help, another cup of coffee, or a fresh approach this morning, but at last I have an answer for the bonus that has a better chance of being right than the two I had yesterday did.

Rusty

Thank you letters - I think I got it now!

Finally got it. Thanks.

I look at the bonus and all I can see is something to do with the military and I know nothing about the military.

Lettersatoz gave an excellent clue, and before that roxsol gave another - maybe re-read both carefully?

Nope, doesn't work. When I initially looked at A3, C3 and D3 the answers were just there. Didn't even have time to blink. But this ..... oh boy. Oh well, I have everything else, or at least I think I do. :)

Blfenton.......go with your gut

I've only been here once for a short time and have no answers for C1, A3, D2, or the bonus.

Blfenton, you are on the right track. Dont sell your instincts short.

Really - the bonus solves the same way, just more spread out.

D2 is a song by Louis Armstrong & his Hot Five.

B2 is a song as well.

I'll post the answers later tonite, before I go to bed. Some of you are having a tough time still.

It's time!

All in the line of duty. BLFenton, you were definitely on the right track, thinking of the military!

Gracias again, Jasdip 🙂

The only one I didn't have was 'wide eyed'.

Got ’em all with help on the bonus. See you Wednesday!

Great fun again. Thanks, Jasdip.

Got them all.

Oh for crying out loud! I kept on thinking of All in the line of duty, but I couldn't get that from the clue so it didn't make sense and then I was stuck. Sorry folks.

I didn't get the bonus or D 1 and 2.

I got all but D1. The bonus took awhile because of the way it is presented. At first glance, it looked like a 'fill in the blank' puzzle, and my old brain had trouble getting past that. But I did eventually get it.

Rusty

I thought the bonus was a stretch as far as the clue is involved but I did get it which is saying something.
