It does if it has an olive. That's a vegetable, right? Or is it a fruit?EdStrong wrote: Sat Apr 11, 2020 11:59 am At the bar with Isaac - martini lunch - does that qualify as between meals nutrition?

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

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.Begbie wrote: Sat Apr 11, 2020 5:44 pm I feel like this one should be simple, but I cannot find my way to shore. Mine's a Jameson's, Isaac.
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).CPJohnson wrote: Fri Apr 10, 2020 6:28 pmI grew up in Alabama, and that's the term my mother used, too.Bob cruise director wrote: Fri Apr 10, 2020 2:50 pmThat is a very upstate New York term.

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

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.Dplass wrote: Sun Apr 12, 2020 10:01 amThanks for including me ashore but as I wrote before I'm not going to submit.
I had a feeling that was the case. Thanks for being a great cruise and shore party director!Bob cruise director wrote: Sun Apr 12, 2020 10:14 amI understand.
