Cryptoquote Spoiler – 05/30/19

(Old Bob’s sardonic wit would probably not play well today, with the current parenting . . . *style* of most parents.  I don’t have time to vent on the subject, so I’ll just leave it at that.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 05/30/19

Visual Description:  Not for sissies!

RAHFW  =  WHARF,  SSLAA  =  SALSA,  CISLEP  =  SPLICE,  TOSHOE  =  SOOTHE   —   Giving us:  WAFSASIESTH

Clue/Question:  The client had little choice but to listen to her trainer who did things – – –

Answer:  AS SHE SAW FIT

(Surprisingly difficult, for me.  You’d think, that with four short words, this would have been a piece of cake.  But, no!  Of course it didn’t help that I initially thought one of the three letter words had to be THE.  But, at least I was on the right track with AS.  I kept re-reading the clue/question, and finally the light bulb came on.

There were no new clue words today.  But, a couple of the jumbles appear to be new, with “sslaa” and “toshoe” having definitely been used before.  It took me a couple of looks to figure out “cislep”.  I love the jumbles that make a one syllable word look like two!  The answer letter layout was a dandy eleven letter jumble.  It is probably why I struggled to get the final answer.

Nice gym cartoon.  It’s reminding me that I need to wrap up these spoilers, so I can get my workout in today.  After a few months of not checking, I weighed myself the other day, and was pleased to see that I’m still under 200 lbs.  I cut out cardio six months ago, and have been so-so un-serious about my diet, so 197 was a pleasant surprise.  Like the trainer’s tee shirt says:  NO PAIN, NO GAIN . . . and sometimes just no gain!  Which definitely works for me.  A little muscle gain, but no weight!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
