First, do NOT respond while you’re upset. That’s the worst thing you can do. Give me a minute to find and read the thread, and I’ll be back. {{ **IThinkNot** }} (Those are hugs, on this board, right? Well, that was the intent, anyway.)

Good. I’m glad you feel better. I may not know puzzles, but I know when someone needs a hug. 🙂

I’m sending you an email with my advice, so as not to overly pollute the thread.

I just peeked in on that other thread, and the flame was retracted, mostly. So you’re ok there. 🙂

Ok, I’ll be back with a fresh set of puzzles, in a bit.

Ok, as promised folks, another dose:

- Solo, stupid!
- homemade knife, move a boat, copulate
- TCP/IP reply, belongs to you, go team!
- Norwegian landscape feature
- people, canine body language, relatives
- met (with “with”), seabird
- often said to a dog, Helen’s city, makes an adjective into a verb

**homemade knife, move a boat, copulate** Ulu/saw? Row/paddle? Fuck?  
**often said to a dog, Helen’s city, makes an adjective into a verb** City of Troy?

I have no clue on the other five.
