1) Thankyou for the welcome.

2) Call me slickfuzz if you wish, but be VERY CAREFUL how you pronounce it. May I call you simpleshiny or unadornedvitreouscoated ? lol.

3) Yeah, the answer was a bit tenuous. My thinking was along the lines (eg) "the outbreak of flu spread countywide"

Best wishes,

slizz (<-------- and if you don't get that, I am NOT explaining it)

whoops ........Something gone wrong here, should have been on reply. sorry

Calm / Fit

OR

Slack / Act

OR

Casual / Art (another stretch)

OR

Rest / Action ?

...

Putting two of them together--

Rest / Act is probably better than the two it came from.

your first half matches mine and I like the combined last one as another alternative

While I'm stretching, I might as well go all out.

Further / End

I guess no.

addition deduction

yes indeed! I was thinking just increase or gain but think yours is most definitive as opposites. Nicely figured.

Only three to go. Molly Mae had and EDM just about Noone's gotten 6. which I thought would be one of the easier ones.

Yes to 1. Yet another alternative to 2. Think 3. and 4. are a little of a stretch on the synonyms side. No to 5. I really like 6. Similar in a way but different than mine and perfectly valid. Yes to 7. Yet another alternative for 8. And I think there are better ones for the rest. Good stuff, onetruth
