Got one out of three... Meatloaf would be dissapointed
I guess I'm in the same one out of three club today, but tomorrow is another day.
oh dear i didnt get any
I got two out of three...not as bad as I thought. Good teaser!
I didnt get any either
Two out of three's not bad, is it?? Very nice!
I thought this teaser sucked.
There wasn't adequate information to give the solutions. There could be a number of things.
For example, the last one could be solved using "trout" and "tutor".
Who's to say that's not correct?
For the record, I got 2 out of the 3

Very cool.
I simply love word puzzles, and this one was very well done.

I DISLIKE WORD PUZZLES!!
Nice work!
One out of three for me, darn it... You broke my consecutive daily streak I had going. Well done!
Good puzzle, but I'm bad at anagrams.
I'd have put the first one last, since it was definitely the hardest. (I didn't get it, in other words.)
I didn't try for very long, but I didn't get any! Waaaaaaaa! However, I can't blame it on anything else, I just didn't want to think too hard this AM. I think its great when they are this hard, and really take some thought. Maybe there could be something tying them together, or some kind of hint other than the sentences for each, IF you want to make them a little more accessible.
I think trout and tutor is very clever, but you don't have to get nasty! Just say you came up with an alternative answer; it happens.
Thanks fishmed, that was good and hard!

This one was a little tuff. I havn't read the comments in quite a while , It seems you guys really go at each other.
I love this kind of teaser but didn't do well at all today. I'll blame it on the early hour and only 1 cup of coffee.
Liked this one. Didn't get one but, it was still fun.
I didn't get any, but I didn't try real hard. I think maybe a hint would have given me more incentive.
I got 1 out of 3 and I think that was by luck more than skill. Great job. But I agree a clue would have helped.
good teaser... I only got 1 out of 3
I did not use trout in the answer as it was already elsewhere in the sentence. To those who liked it, thanks . To those who did not, or were mean for meanness sake, I'll pray for you... TTFN
Well I liked it. Got them all for a change.
Wow, that was a tough one. I did'nt get any today. I'll try harder next time. :
I thought this one was very good. It took me a while, but I got all three. I love anagram puzzles though. Good job fishmed!
Very Interesting. Nice going. I have to work on anagrams. Still new for me. but, I like them.

i did not get any of these but i really didn't try. for those whining about clues the sentences were well constructed to provide plenty of hints. i just didn't take the time to work it out. good job!
i feel so much better after reading other comments. , i thought i was brain dead. i didn't get any and thought that i'd be the only one. i have done puzzles like this before. just crossword puzzles. these are funner

i keep forgetting to tell the puzzle creaters how great a job they are doing. some can create and others can't it seems the ones that can't get very rude and find fault with the ones who can.keep up the good work and thank you for your hard work.
stumped
Nicely done!! Huge fan of word puzzles, the haters just didn't get it
Okay, okay... you got me with that first one! Tough. Great job on this teaser. I loved it!
Great job Fishmed! Have to admit, just got one, but was in a hurry. My computer has been on the fritz and I have to get through all my mail, one, bu\y one. And I have really missed everyone the last few days. Hope this old beast hangs together for a while longer so I can enjoy these great teasers.Also, Imurray, nice job, no griping, just a true statement of fact.
See what a little love can do folks.

I got spot/pots for the last one (pots as in potty about fishing!).
fun!
Dammit... someone stole my Meatloaf reference... I was about to break into song right now... "CUZ TWO OUT OF THREEEE AIN'T BAAAAAD!!!!"
Great one! Could get only #2 right.
This/these "puzzles" not teasers, just take up time.
