“Maturing is realizing how many things don’t require your comment.”   —   Rachel Wolchin

( . . . and getting old is not giving a crap, and commenting anyway!  LOL!  Actually, this is not a bad quote.  But, I definitely think it applies more to how teens, and young adults, seem to think they know just about everything.  But, as they mature, a kind of enlightenment . . . eventually sets in.  We welcome the wise – beyond her years – Rachel Wolchin to the Cryptoquote Club today.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 05/14/19

Visual description:  The referrals.

MILTI  =  LIMIT,  CLUKA  =  CAULK,  MRIEBL  =  LIMBER,  TEYNIT  =  ENTITY   —   Giving us:  LTCLLIEENT

Clue/Question:  The lawyer picked up new business because her happy customers were – – –

Answer:  “CLIENT–TELL“

(A nice play on words.  It’s funny how the word clientele is used mostly by “escort services” and “gentlemen’s clubs” these days.  For other businesses it’s simply clients.  Yes, I probably watch too much “Law & Order SVU”.

Surprising as it may sound, it’s looking like “caulk” is a new clue word!  It looks like our good friend, ralis95, will have to add it to his world famous clue word database.  We’ve seen the jumble “milti” before, but the other three appear to be new.  I thought they were all fine jumbles.  The answer letter layout was a decent jumble, but I saw CLIENT right away in it.  I think switching both the five and six letter jumbles would have made it a little more challenging.  What do you think of CLLTENTLIE?  Nope!  Not much difference.  Never mind.

Nice lawyer’s office cartoon.  Business partners, or long term relationship/marriage partners?  That’s none of our business, really.  For the lawyer it’s all business.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
