Good morning and a happy Be More Paranoid Day which I’m not feeling at all. Maybe as the day progresses.🙂

Thank you, Jasdip. I think I have them all. The bonus seems too easy. I’ll think some more on it.

Good morning! This is a repeat from 6/30/21 but fortunately my memory isn’t good so it’s almost like a new puzzle for me!

FOAS, your memory seems pretty darn good to me.

Goodness, FOAS, how do you know that?!? Every puzzle is new to me.

I don't have D1 or the bonus. I might attempt the bonus this time.

C'mon, FOAS! You mean to tell us you can remember the date a puzzle was posted, but you can't remember the answers?

Think I have all but the bonus (so what else is new.)

Rusty

I have the puzzle but only a guess for the bonus but that at least is better than usual.

Well, I have all but A1 and D2…wait, just got D2 when I glanced back to get the row letter!

So, A1 and bonus still to go.

Edit: now just the bonus!

A. Two peas in a pod

Right between the eyes

Foreign enemy

B Kevin Costner

Corner pocket

War between the sexes

C Eggs over easy

Colin Powell

Half witted

D An eye for an eye

Everlasting or endless love

Irregular heartbeat

And...... Redoubled

💯✔️

Thanks, Jasdip

I didnt have a guess for D1 (wish I had read the letters instead of ’in’) and for D2 I had the beginning of love or inside of a glove. Nothing for the bonus either.

I missed D1 but got the rest and the bonus, Thanks again.

Got all but the bonus, Thanks, Jasdip

Rusty

My guess for the bonus was a not but I did get the rest/ Yeah Jasdip!

That was a challenging bonus! Thanks, jasdip!

Out of curiosity, how is the word 'redoubled' used? Isn't it an oxymoron in itself? I don't think I've ever heard it used, or read it anywhere, either.

Rusty

You can 'redouble' your efforts, to get the job done.

I know it as a bridge term.

eta

“Some bridge opponents don’t like to be doubled — and they can respond by redoubling, telling you that they think you’ve made a colossal mistake by making a penalty double (the nerve of you). One of your opponents can redouble. If three passes follow the redouble, the deal is sealed — the side that made the last bid is playing a redoubled contract.”

I've heard of doubling your efforts, etc., but redoubling? ? ? Maybe a term not common everywhere.

And I am not familiar with bridge terms at all. But thanks to both of you for the explanations.
