“Until you’ve lost your reputation, you never realize what a burden it was or what freedom really is.”   — Margaret Mitchell

(I suppose this applies to Scarlet O’Hara – a literary figure who still pisses me off, to this day!  But, when I first solved it, and read it, and up until I was posting it, I was thinking that it came from Martha Mitchell.  To me, the line fits her very well.  Be good, do good, my friends.)   — YUR

LOWLAF  =  FALLOW,  ATHEER  =  HEATER,  WINDAR  =  INWARD,  ZURBEZ  =  BUZZER,  HUNGOE  =  ENOUGH,  CROSCH  =  SCORCH —   Giving us:  LWHTEIWEROHRH

Clue/Question:  The lazy reporter didn’t think deadlines were . . .

Answer:  WORTH HER WHILE

(This one – the answer – might be a little tough for some of you to get.  Or, at least to get the double meaning of “while”.  It can be used as a transitive verb, meaning “to spend time”, as in to while away the hours!  Of all the clue words I had the hardest time getting “enough”.  I guess I just can’t get enough! LOL!  Huh?  No?  OK well, the other words were all much easier for me to get, although they were all well scrambled.  As were the answer letters.  No more football, friends.  Hockey?  Basketball??  NASCAR???  Nah!  I might take in some Pro/Am Golf, though.  It’s fun watching  people like me, literally tearing up the fairways, and assaulting the gallery of spectators!  But first, it’s time for me to update my status.)   — YUR
