"Between Meals" - April 10, 2020

[UTHfan]

Happy Easter Weekend, everyone.

I have to say, when it hits you...it's kind of wow.

on shore, having a nice cheat day.

[rolias]

Long slow doggie paddle to shore but got there eventually.

[SewYoung]

At the bar with Isaac - martini lunch - does that qualify as between meals nutrition?

It does if it has an olive. That's a vegetable, right? Or is it a fruit?

[Begbie]

I feel like this one should be simple, but I cannot find my way to shore. Mine's a Jameson's, Isaac.

[JoeS]

JoeS was also ashore Friday night, post 101.

Good Saturday morning muggle. Thank goodness for the contests as it is the only way I know what day it is. Our report is a little early but may not be by time I finish typing.

First a warm welcome to our newest muggles - ladybyrd, Dow Jones, Frenchy and Big Mac. Lauraredisbooks is sort of new as she posted in our Come Aboard page but this is the first time she has been on the shore.

And if you want to learn or refresh your memory, the postings that Joe Ross has put on the Come Aboard/FAQ's Community are tremendous learning tools and great assets for solving the contests.

Currently we have four muggles keeping Isaac company on the ship and 111 spread across the wide expanses of the shore.

For those on the ship, keep plugging. It is solvable and I was beating my head against the wall for 40 hours.

On the ship are
Sew Young
Guy L
Tom S
and Diane

And on the shore are
Omnibus
Scott M
Wendy
Al
Joe

Still waiting for that AHA moment. Alas, another weekend at the bar with Isaac it is

[Horsesense]

ashore.

Welcome to the group. I saw that you have been lurking and we love having lurkers and more so lurkers who join the group. For tips for solving metas, look at Come Aboard/FAQ's Communities. There are a couple of topics there to both explain all our comments and to help get the metas.

[PHOFER]

I thought I posted earlier but apparently forgot to hit submit. Ashore with the bemasked crowd on the beach. And yes it made me hungry.

[steveb]

Hello, I’m on shore, finally. *sheepish grin* Can’t believe it took me so long to get here.

[JoeS]

I've always called them heels. Do you have another name for them?

That is a very upstate New York term. My mother used it.

I grew up in Alabama, and that's the term my mother used, too.

I, too, am from Alabama, and we called them heels also. My mom tore them apart and used the pieces to add to meatloaf to hold it together (and increase the volume).

[Inca]

done and done

[Bill Harts]

Onshore.

[Bob cruise director]

When I got this, all I could think of is this weeks contest and being sequestered

[Bob cruise director]

Ashore! Also hungry.

Damefox, I just received your Inkubator crossword - congratulations! Can’t wait to solve it!

Thank you!! Hope you like it!

Is that Themeless #7?

Thanks for including me ashore but as I wrote before I'm not going to submit.

I understand. However I only have categories for ship and shore and don't want to get in the shades of grey or other variants. So I count muggles on shore no matter how much of a nudge/push they get.

I had a feeling that was the case. Thanks for being a great cruise and shore party director!

Ashore.

At the bar with Isaac - martini lunch - does that qualify as between meals nutrition?

It does if it has an olive. That's a vegetable, right? Or is it a fruit?

Which reminds me of an old joke...

A guy sits down at the bar and orders a Martini with two olives...
bartender gives him the drink, he takes out the two olives, puts them aside on a napkin, drinks the martini, asks for another. By the fourth Martini with two olives, the bartender asks the man "I don't mind, but I gotta ask....why do you ask for a Martini with two olives, then take the two olives out of it?" the man replies "My wife sent me to the store for a jar of olives but the store was closed."
