Sounds like what you are doing when you step on the scale + and + another word for implies...
also a Committee at the Council

I haven't felt the " thunk " yet.
I am thinking ???? and meats. Am I on the right track?

Try thinking "methods" or "streets" for the first word +and+ "implies" or "incomes". Do you have the Mea?s to pay for that?

I hope you don't find this frustrating Razor.
I prefer hints to answers, but sometimes I feel the need to "slap myself around the ears" when I finally click.

All the best.
