Send a PM to someone with what you have tried so far.

We are always happy to get to know other muggles and help in any way! PM's are always welcome. The next best thing to winning a mug is helping a fellow muggle win a mug!

Rumors of my swim ashore were greatly exaggerated. I am fully stymied by this one and have requested a nudge.

Count me aboard. Blank stares all around Isaac's bar. Don't need a nudge, thank you. I'm amongst marvelous company.
For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.

I was reported ashore but that is not the case. I'm on the ship with my binoculars hoping to spot some seabirds, since I'm definitely not spotting the meta--yet.

Count me on the ship with Isaac.

Been battling comcast (motto: our customer service is so bad, we had to change our name to xfinity) for the last couple of days. Finally have the network working again. Drowning my sorrows with Zac Brown sav blanc.

Comcast is so unreliable that we use CenturyLink even though we were part of a class-action lawsuit against them.

Came up for air after dealing with a two-week long family medical issue - all good now - but nice to poke into Isaac’s Last Call for the great group of folks and an aha-preserving nudge. Fun one! Sorry to skip out early, but loved the muggle banter - cheers, all!

And I think I speak for all of us when I say that we loved witnessing your aha moment!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

On shore thanks to an aha moment from the zoom call this evening. Thank you all for pointing out what was staring me in the face all along.
