Maybe the answers are too obvious and I am simply over thinking them. However, I have been stymied by: 24D, 26D, and 36A. Any help?

Maybe the answers are too obvious and I am simply over thinking them. However, I have been stymied by: 24D, 26D, and 36A. Any help? 24D: this was a Microsoft product, back when people databased on a regular basis 26D: this can be either a noun or a verb. In this case, it's a verb, and it means "to write things down." 36A: this one irritated me. It's a classic MPC pun. it's actually two words. It could also, if it were one word, be something a radio station does.

I'm having trouble with 32a 36a 21d 25a. I'm new doing the catch up and this issue is so much harder than previous editions 32A: this one irritated on principle. This clue is asking for two words. First word: lots of clutter. Second word: Question you never ask a woman. When you put them together, you get a word that means a thought one conveys to another. 36A: I've given a hint for this one earlier in the thread, I'm not sure I can hint any more at it without giving it away. 21D: For this one you want to find a word that means "the way out" and add two Ss to it (not in a row) to get another word that means "to live" 25A: Another classic MPC pun. It's looking for two words that, when put together make one other word. If you covered a bear's home with camouflage, you ___ his ___.

I have the answer, but I think that 21D (Add two S's and this state of being would be the way out) is a bit backwards. I think the clue should either read "Remove two S's and this state of being would be the way out" or "Add to S's and the way out becomes a state of being".

I genuinely cannot figure out 15 across or 16 down, even with the clues here. I even tried solving the other part of the puzzle, but it didn't help.

Hey ColonialAF, 15a: If it belongs to them it is their it. Now you need a homophone. 16d: Pull out a Latin translator and translate each word separately before putting them together.
