“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.”   —   Oprah Winfrey

(I wonder if Oprah actually comes up with all of the witticisms that are attributed to her, or if some of them came from her writing staff?  Either way, this is good advice.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 01/25/21

Visual Description:  Testing their investment.

SEGSU  =  GUESS,  NADKR  =  DRANK,  PRIELT  =  TRIPLE,  SAQHUS  =  SQUASH   —   Giving us:  ESDRATRESUS

Clue/Question:  Their new mattress came with a money-back guarantee, so they could – – –

Answer:  REST ASSURED

(Those guarantees give you peace of mind, but you still might have to deal with the disappointment, and then hassle of returning it.  And then having to shop/purchase another one.  But now, like just about everything else, you can buy a mattress on-line!  For me, I need to actually try certain things before I’ll buy them.  I don’t want to have to return something that doesn’t feel/fit right.  That’s why this dinosaur prefers brick and mortar stores . . . even during the age of COVID!

All familiar clue words today.  Three of the jumbles came up as new, for me.  But, we’ve definitely seen “nadkr” in the past.  I thought the jumble “prielt” was tough.  I actually had to back into “triple”.  The answer letter layout was a well thought out eleven letter jumble.  I think the leading nature of the clue/question is what gave me the final answer, despite missing the TRE.

Fine cartoon of a young couple, hopefully enjoying their investment.  Pretty good Jumble for a Monday.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
