DOYDL  =  ODDLY,  GORNP  =  PRONG,  CASCUE  =  ACCUSE,  BATPRU  =  ABRUPT   —   Giving us:  ODLRNGUSERU

Clue/Question:  The nursery owner told her new employee the . . .

Answer:  GROUND RULES

(This one was pretty good!  I don’t currently have access to the clue word database, so I don’t know if any of the clue words are new.  None of them stand out as new.  Possibly “prong”, but the others look like old friends.  For some reason, I had a hard time with “accuse”.  I didn’t spend a lot of time on it, though.  I got lazy and backed into it.  The answer letter layout was good, but even without “accuse” I got a good feel for the answer.  Very serious looking ladies, Jeff.  That’s it.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“I have found among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.”   —   Maya Angelou

(But, only when the giver gives with no anticipation of quid pro quo.  Too many people give just becauce they expect that they will get in return.  I also know some who allege that the act of giving is selfish, because the giver is seeking that warm feeling of good will, that you get from giving.  For me, the point is moot!  I’se broke!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
