Onshore!

Ashore. At least I think I'm ashore -- always suspicious when it seems easy. But that won't stop me from requesting a Monkey 47 and tonic with a wee slice of orange to soothe my doubts!

On shore.
I’m 2/2 on attempts after returning from “sabbatical”. Time to get humbled.

What's the meaning of life?

Should I refinance or get a reverse mortgage?

Lease or buy a car?

From the "tough love" division:
1. Has probably been answered.

Yes but it changes daily, life's like that!

2. Neither.

oh by all means the reverse mortgage, I just want to see them print out egagtrom on all the papers

3. If you need to ask 2, you shouldn't be doing either of these, either. But if you have the money, buy used and pay cash.

and if you don't have the money, be used, demand cash!

oh I assumed all the questions were jokes...

Jokes, on a Muggle forum, never!

On shore. 🏖

Pay down your highest interest rate debt first.

Do a cash out refi and put the extra in Ethereum.

Then catch one of those annuities cruises!

and my responses, for those who missed it!

(to me this is hilarious, but that probably says something about me)

fight w relatives like I’m doing?

I’m using my “free time” to pack to go to Iceland on Tuesday!

Great place to go. Will you go down to the volcano?

Ashore after a more abbreviated solve than usual. Fingers crossed on that pageant possibility . . .

Ashore with an answer that I'm not particularly fond of (I'll explain after Sunday).

I'm holding off on the rating in case there's a pageant in this one.

On shore! Get to start my streak over after landing on the wrong shore last week.

On the 🏝

The answer is 42. But I forgot what the question is.

Hope that's not a spoiler. If it is, I have the wrong answer.

Crest is ashore. I’m post #235 on page 12. I could have missed seeing my name on the list amongst the cast of thousands (in keeping with the movie theme!), but I double-checked and just don’t see it. Thanks!

I missed you - sorry - you are on the shore now.

Hobie Cat to shore,
Not an inch of sand to land.
Beer by semaphore!

EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to be responsible… should have added a safety warning:
“Don’t try beer by semaphore without proper training. Especially not on a Hobie Cat with your last beer still in your hand!”
Nothing worse than spilling beer.

Ok well I am not sure what to make of being LITERALLY THE ONLY FREAKING PERSON ON THE WHOLE GODDAMN SHIP.

Pretty embarrassed but hey at least I have some peace and quiet around here.

But I am onshore now! Phew.

Part of the reason it took so long was because I had a mistake in my grid. Not to make excuses

I think that means you have the run of the bar and Isaac's undivided attention.

For the record, I am on shore.

Despite still doing the daily wsj grids over a cup of coffee each morning, I've taken a few months off from the metas as I found it necessary with returning to full time work. Excited to dive in to what I've missed.

That being said I can confidently say that I'm both happy to be back and also to be on shore this fine Sunday morning with this quick one. Bloody Mary for me since it's Sunday and well before noon .
