“The human race has only one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.”   —   Mark Twain

(Don’t you wish that our so-called world leaders understood this?  You can do so much more – as in deflecting anger – with humor than with force.  Laughter releases endorphins, and endorphins make us feel good.  See if you can make someone laugh today.  Heck, try to do it everyday!  More ha ha = less hatred.  Peace, my brothers and sisters.)   —   YUR

Clue/Question:  More and more cooking shows are being produced because viewers keep . . .

Answer:  EATING THEM UP

(Absolutely no complaints from yer Uncle, today!  I really loved the answer letter layout.  Top-notch!   The jumbling of the clue words too.  I even had to think on “tiger”.  And, I almost had to write out – or back into – “enough”.  I always like these longer answers too.  And boy, these cooking shows are everywhere these days.  I recently sat in on a taping of ABC’s The Chew, while waiting to get into, and audition for, Millionaire.  The Food Network, the Travel Channel, Bravo, A & E, you name it.  They all have shows dealing with cooking and eating.  And, the majority of these shows are more about tasty food than they are about healthy food.  So, to a certain extent, they are contributing to the fattening of America.  Of course, they didn’t start the problem.  But, they are more than happy to capitalize on our obsession with food.  Such is life, here in the good ol’ US of A.  Just try to remember this the next time you tune in to one of these shows.  Watch what – and how much – you eat!  Your body is your instrument.  Keep it in good working order, and you’ll make beautiful music.  Be well and do good, my friends.)   —   YUR
