msbelle, every step closer, be it paint or dishwashing, makes me want to bounce.

It's really lovely to wake up and emerge from the shower to the smell of breakfast and coffee and have someone greet you with "Want some pancakes? Blueberry?"

S'mores making operations are more entertaining than the s'mores themselves.

What is even happening?

Welcome ThomasW! This will be confusing for me, because I keep thinking my husband, TomW is posting. But he doesn't much post anymore, and he's my sock puppet anyway. Yes, Virginia, you CAN marry your own sock puppet!

Only in Massachusetts!

Okay, I have to go drop off the rental car we used to get out to see relatives the last couple of days. When I get back, I hope puzzle peeps will be around, 'cuz dammit I'm finishing this thing today.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Well, I got some grocery shopping done before noon, does that count as a triumph? I also got two bags of Trader Joe's Wonton Chips, which are scrumdilly-ishus.

Plus, I passed by the library and highschool, which is open and having a craft fair, respectively. I think a Plan for my afternoon's activities is beginning to form....

Okay, others have finished and I want to too.

Hints please for any or all of the following:

In the earth sciences box, the item to the left of earth sciences and below Google Earth. In the automobile box, the item between racing and go-karts, and the item up and to the right from trains. In the on the clock box, the item to the upper right of Shanghai. In the box in the lower right corner of the map, I need a hint for what is below Nip/Tuck that's not Miami. In the spam box, I need a hint for the item to the lower left off of plastic surgery, the one that's not cut, breast enlargements or Nip/Tuck. In the drugs box, I need the three word item that connects drugs and zombie, and the item off of acid that lies on the upper border. In the cocktails box, I need the one that connects cocktails and line. And finally, in the upper right box on the map, I need a hint for anything off of Lamborghini and the one that's above the Doors.

And again, hints for everything first, please.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Sean, for your first one, it's a repeat word-- what does Google earth show you?

Second one: think of a computer game involving (go) Karts and a computer game that Sid Meier is involved with.

Third one: It's a sequel.

Fourth, and this will break it wide open, what is Nip/Tuck? Be middling specific. For others in that box, think Nip/tuck is to Miami as blank is to blank. One of them I had to look in Wikipedia for, because I had NO idea. (which is kind of a clue too)

Fifth one who has had a lot of plastic surgery (a male)

In the Drug box, I only see a two word box connecting drugs and zombie. If you mean drugs and bomb, that one is very hard to hint at. There is a novel written in the early '60s about a traveling drug addict. A band I had never heard of wrote a song based on it. The novel, the band, and the song are all boxes, but you don't get to the novel without the other two.

More to be edited in, slowly.

Oooh! So far, your hints are helping a lot. Still working on figuring out the Nip/Tuck hint, but the others got me answers. Which then opened more blank boxes (ARGH!).

For the nip/Tuck, think genre.
