MEFAL = FLAME, TONJI = JOINT, RAHDLE = HERALD, GROANJI = JARGON — Giving us: LMOIHERO
Clue/Question: When she inherited the weaving device, she described it as an . . .
Answer: “HEIR“ LOOM

P.S. Sorry about the initial posting. I downloaded the beta version of Internet Explorer 9.something, and apparently it is not yet compatible with WordPress. It wouldn’t let me add my colors, because I couldn’t highlight anything, and when I posted it . . . all there was was a blank page! After yesterday afternoon’s experience with the MSN tech support people – OVER 3 HOURS – I should have known something like this might happen. I’ll probably go back to an earlier version (maybe), but in the meantime: Thank God, for Mozilla Firefox! A very nice, painless download! (Can you hear me, now, Microsoft???) — YUR

“Perhaps in time the so-called dark ages will be thought of as including our own.” — Georg C. Lichtenberg
(This is one of the main reasons why I love solving the cryptoquote! It exposes me to so many different people. Many of whom I was totally unaware of, previously. This guy was an early pioneer in the field of Physics. He was truly ahead of his time. If you have a few minutes look him up.) — YUR

Clue/Question: What an overloaded dock can create.
Answer: “PIER“ PRESSURE
(Decent pun. A nice, long answer. But, not a particularly difficult one. Right, guys? The clue words are basic stuff. Although, there could be a cryptic 9/11 message they’re trying to convey. Hmmm. I added the quotation marks, because I figured they just didn’t have enough space for them. Keep reading between the lines, folks!) — YUR 🙂

DRAYT = TARDY, GRABE = BARGE, HEEZEW = WHEEZE, COTALE = LOCATE — Giving us: TDBREEAT
Clue/Question: Making cookie dough for the bake sale left her . . .
Answer: BATTERED
(I know, bakers! Dough and batter are two different things. But, what do you expect from a couple of cartoonists? Brownies or cakes would make better sense for batter, but all doughs take much more effort, because they are of a thicker consistency. Clue words were pretty simple, today. Good scrambling of the answer letters, though! Be good, do good, kids!) — YUR

“A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.” — Robert Frost

Clue/Question: What a bank teller will do before she’ll cash your check.
Answer: CHECK YOUR CASH
(Some great clue words today! Nice scrambling of the answer letters, too. Sorry about the lateness of this posting. Took the wife and some relatives to Boscobel, today. Just got back from dropping the rels back at their hotel, in the city.) — YUR
