Oh man this is at least the third time we’ve had #8 and I still can’t remember it!

^^^HA! I knew I’d remember if I posted! Thanks for listening.

Just stuck on 15. And I have two slightly different answers for 2.

I’m fearful of what Wednesday will bring, after two easy puzzles pumping up confidence!

Oh! I’ve got a guess now that I realize it’s an E not an F. With an F, several silly stretches came to mind but I habe a legit guess for E.

I though Short Story as well which for me is close enough. I am a huge fan of short stories hence my remark.

Well, funny enough, that was my ”wrong” guess - change of scene! It was all I could come up with, but decided it coukdn’t be right since I’ve only ever heard change of scenery, too. Huh!

LOL! The repeats are incidental, this puzzle is from a different source! Glad you got it FOAS, now good luck with the bonus.

Oh I’ve got the bonus, I think!

I am pegging away at it. I do not have the bonus because I never get the bonus.

Pretty sure I have most of them, the ones that I can see, anyhow. For some reason the picture doesn't enlarge any when I click on it, it's much smaller than these posts usually are.

Have a 'maybe' for the bonus.

Any you need help readonf, Rusty? I agree the picture doesn’t sharpen up as well as usual when clicking on it, but I figured out what they all say.

Rusty I can get it to enlarge somewhat. Don't hesitate to ask if you need help.

Thank you FOAS and Jasdip! I dug up my trusty magnifying glass and it helps a lot. Now I need a trusty crystal ball to give me a couple of answers, namely #9 (and I know we've had that one before) and the bonus, I'm not liking my 'maybe' for it.

I think 9 annoyed a couple people last time but I think it’s clever. Just got my missing and without intentionally looking there realized I had 3 wrong.

Think I've got 9 finally. Funny how you can look and look at one and nothing happens, then all of a sudden the answer falls out of a blue clear sky and bonks you on the head.

Morning all - hope everyone had a great weekend! I'm not positive of my guess for 12 or the bonus, but I have reasonable answers for both - feel pretty sure of everything else, but I have to admit I'm going on memory for #8 - I'd be in trouble if I forgot it because as others have said, I'm not able to enlarge it this time.

Good morning all! And a happy Interpretive Dance Day🙂(One of my favourite ways of communicating)

I’m pretty sure that I have them all.

Wishing everyone a great day 💃🕺

And Saturday was International Trails Day - my happy place. We don't meet on Saturdays so didn't have a chance to mention it.

Finally getting to it. Fortunately for me, I rarely remember puzzles from one week to the next! So I still need #8 and #15. I just might have the bonus, though, for a change.

Thanks, jasdip!

Well, dang, i never did get #8 and #15. and for the bonus I was thinking ”silent e”, thinking back to my first grade days, so hey, I’ll give myself credit for it.

Thanks, jasdip, I kept coming back to it today between plumber visits and cleaning the back hall of the shoe pile.

Oh my, I had ”silent e” as well.

I’m still on the road in the Canadian wilderness but slowly heading home.

blfenton, I went for a walk on the Iron Horse Trail near Cold Lake on Saturday so I celebrated appropriately.🤠

Thanks, Jasdip

I missed #8 and the bonus. I watch too much ”Wheel” as I felt the need to buy an E.

Misty! haha, that’s a good one! I had silent e also. The last time I looked at this, I remembered that we had 12 before also, so I changed my originally wrong answer.

Thanks, Jasdip!

2) Broken Heart - should at minumum be A broken heart. That was one of my guesses, but I prefer my other: lifting a broken heart. Why else would it be curved upwards?

3) A Pay Bump - I had a raise in pay. Giving myself full credit.

6) Hardening Up - come on where’s the ”ening“ coming from? Hard up. Full credit. Harumph

And..............Misty (missed e) - I had a blank IOU. Sounded better when I thought of it.

For 3, I had 'pay raise', never heard the term 'pay bump', 'hard up' for 6, and 'Open book' for 12.

Completely missed the bonus, and it is so easy and so evident! Makes me wonder about me.

I agree about the missing 'ening'. Who doesn't know the term 'hard up'?
