“All love shifts and changes.  I don’t know if you can be wholeheartedly in love all the time.”   —   Julie Andrews

(Julie is right!  For most of us passion definitely fades.  But it gets replaced by a higher, and purer, kind of love.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 06/05/21

Visual Description:  Barfly buds!

SIPEO  =  POISE,  SDERS  =  DRESS,  FRNIMO  =  INFORM,  TROPYS  =  SPORTY   —   Giving us:  SEDREINFSPT

Clue/Question:  The termite and the cockroach that got together after work were – – –

Answer:  “PEST“ FRIENDS

(I’m just glad they weren’t stinkbugs, because then this would most definitely be a stinky pun!  Even though they’re different kinds of insects, I bet these two share a lot of the same interests.  Same type of beers, general political ideology, sports teams, and possibly even the same taste in women.  Actually, sometimes it’s the same dislike for a certain sports team that also helps develop that bond.  For my buddy and me we both can’t stand the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Jets, and especially the New England Patriots.  We also hate the Yankees!  LOL!

All of today’s clue words are old pals!  Two of the jumbles came up as new, but we’ve definitely seen both “sipeo” and “sders” in days gone by.  They all came to me immediately this morning.  The answer letter layout was an elegant eleven letter jumble.  It disguised the final answer very nicely.

Very amusing cartoon of an old school dive bar.  Two lonely, funky looking taps.  Not exactly high-end clientele!  It looks like the bartender is a mosquito.  This looks like a setup for a commercial for Raid!  The best thing about friends is that they let you be yourself.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
