you'll get there, I'm confident.
Thanks! You are more sanguine than I am. My (non-Muggle) brother's meant-to-be-encouraging comment: "Tenacity is your friend!"
Wendy. Movies are not my thing at all and I solved it. Just think about it like any other meta.

One of those where I had the mechanism after the first theme entry, and that doesn’t happen often.

Was flailing. And as a movie buff, I knew I'd kick myself... But then, there it was! On shore.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

You don't know how much self constraint it has taken for me not to post one of 1,000 GIF's in response to this. :lol:

That’s how I won my mug - via email submission.

1. Phew! I got it, after a LOT of Googling.
2. Whoever recommended "Halt and Catch Fire" a few months ago, THANK YOU. We are really enjoying it!
3. Apropos of nothing, here is a backyard shot from my new trail cam!

Took awhile since I was helping my daughter study for her factoring test. Really can't give her a good reason why you need to know the difference of cubes formula.

Anyway I'm ashore!

Bob,
You make me laugh, which I really appreciate. You have 1,000 GIF's which you look at, but feel awkward about posting. I’m intrigued.

I started emailing in my answer because I was growing skeptical they looked at the form submissions on the site! I often wish they would send an automated confirmation email after you submit so that when I don't win the mug for the umpteenth time I'll know it at least wasn't because my submission didn't go through.
