“There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it, and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself.”   —   Lin Yutang

(Don’t allow yourself to be too driven by degrees and titles and things like net worth.  Status does not equate with happiness.  The lasting pleasures in life cannot be purchased.  They can only be attained by investing yourself with others.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Various kinds of Polish Kielbasa (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Answer: POLISHED OFF

(A little heavy on the clues today!  The Polish coat of arms on the wall, she’s polishing a silver pitcher, and chances are very strong that she’s eating Polish sausage!  I guess you could even argue she’s wearing a babushka, but that might be a stretch.

There were no new clue words today, but all of the jumbles have come up as new . . . again.  The answer letter layout was actually very good  A great jumble, that – by itself – gave nothing away.  I really liked the cartoon, but the totality of the clues was a bit much, for my taste.  Maybe the guys are just setting us up for a real tough stumper???  Let’s hope so!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
