I'm on (a) shore, but I feel a bit dissatisfied.

On the beach! 🏖 🍷

I can really relate to the recent comments about scheduling meetings and appointments so as not to interfere with Meta Time. I do that, too. I also do meal planning around it. I like to cook, but on Thursdays, we have reheated leftovers, something that I can prepare in advance, or prep in advance and cook quickly. Today it’s Male Chauvinist Chili 🌶 in the crockpot! I guess the funny name is because it has 3 kinds of meat - bacon, ground beef, and hot Italian sausage!

Toes in sand!

I think. What else could it be? But ...

Anyway, please count me on shore.

EDIT: Another Muggle PM-ed me something that makes me feel more confident of my answer. That is: I shouldn't be swept away by a surprise tide.

On shore! And who else chuckled at one of the movie references?
Since I don't need to worry about page 1 real estate, here's a nice photo that Mark took at Longwood Gardens on Sunday.

Yeah Ima say I’m ON SHORE (submitted it). Agree that it’s not totally satisfying but what else could it be?

Hmm. It's my second week in a row where I think I have the answer, but I'm lacking confirmation.

I agree with Chris saying "What else could it be?"

This week my confidence is lower than it was for MELODY.

Onshore -- seemed way too easy, but undeniable. I'll have my usual, please (margarita, rocks, no salt).

I think I'm onshore, but not 100%. Maybe missing a step again (or more likely, still at sea!) But based on other comments, I'm putting up the beach umbrella and enjoying the view!

I believe I'm on the beach, but as others have said, it seems a bit too straightforward. Nonetheless, not sure what else it could be. So I'm ordering a drink and calling it done.

I think I have an answer, but I'm not certain of the mechanism. I'll keep stewing on this until 1) I get it, or 2) I run out of time/patience.

Lots of speedy solvers today! I’m on the beach. The cabana boy/bartender is mixing my next margarita.

OK, I am with all of you below. I believe I am onshore but a little perplexed as to how I got there.

For those unsure of their answer, write down your ideas on a blank piece of paper (one of the solving hints I use for every meta I work) and I think that the answer will become more clear. If someone thinks that this is a potential spoiler, let me know and I will remove it.

Ahoy muggles! I think I have an answer, but like others, I feel like I missed a step. Will continue to puzzle, so can’t truly call myself ashore.
