Waging WAR on Ignorance, Intolerance & Injustice!
“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” — Anonymous
(A lovely thought, and it’s very true. But, most of us kind of get locked into the quasi-negative, self-defeating mindset. Oh, and don’t forget about laziness and procrastination! Knock those bad boys out of the way, and you could even achieve those goals and dreams. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” — Anonymous
(Tried and true is always very comforting, but you should always be open to trying new things. Even Brussels sprouts! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“At the timberline where the storms strike with the most fury, the sturdiest trees are found.” — Anonymous
(Even with all the THEs, and other E’s, this one took some time to solve. Neither “timberline”, nor “sturdiest”, come up in quotes very often. It’s been quite a while since we’ve had an Anonymous too. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“It’s easy to make a friend. What’s hard to make is a stranger.” — Anonymous
(Yup! Once you know someone, you know them, and they’re no longer strangers. Unless – God forbid – you have some form of dementia. Then you can meet the same person over and over again. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“The trouble with using experience as a guide is that the final exam often comes first and then the lesson.” — Anonymous
(It’s like the old conundrum of trying to get that first job, where all they seem to want is “experience”. You have to gauge whether someone seems intelligent enough, and trainable enough, to handle the work, and then help them learn the ropes. On the job training is a great way to learn. Less preconceived notions, and you can get them to do the job the way you want. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.” — Anonymous
(For better, or for worse! This was a nice easy solve. Not like today’s Jumble! I have to get back to that. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Some people have nothing to say, but you have to listen a long time to find out.” — Anonymous
(Yep. Some people just seem to have diarrhea of the mouth. They’re enamored with the sound of their own voice, and they seem to think that they’re so interesting. Yeesh. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Unless you can look interested when you are bored, you will never be a success socially.” — Anonymous
(Hey. “All the world is a stage!” And, “the things we do for love!” Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“St. Patrick was a gentleman, who through strategy and stealth, drove all the snakes from Ireland. Here’s to his health.” — Anonymous
(An appropriate little rhyme. But, a little silly . . . drinking to the health of someone who died 1500 years ago! LOL! We’re all supposed to be Irish today, so Happy St. Patrick’s Day to one and all. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
“A folksinger is someone who sings through his nose by ear.” — Anonymous
(I think this Anonymous must be a Country/Western fan, trying to deflect some criticism! Because, with the rare exception of Bob Dylan, Country/Western singers are – generally speaking – much more nasal than folksingers. It took some time for me to even figure out the word “folksinger”, because it doesn’t seem to fit the opinion. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
