Looks as if I am not the only one still awake. It’s 3 AM here and newspaper came very early today and I could not resist doing a fairly easy Jumble before going to bed. Wishing each of you a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!!
Wishing Everyone a Happy, Healthy Thanksgiving Day. Be well, be safe, be blessed. 🦃 🙋🏻♀️
Good morning. Happy Thanksgiving to all. Hope however your celebrating, it is a good one. Im thankful that it (jumble) didn’t shut me out today. Loved your facts Mike. Until tomorrow stay well and stay safe.
Hi Everyone – No problems today other than Lawyer taking a bit longer than the rest.The dog at the table reminded me of ours.Thanksgiving was by far his favorite holiday. Wishing all a happy, safe day.
Not a very interesting Jumble today. The words came easy and the puzzle solution wasn’t obvious to me. May be time to have the Headless Horseman ride back in???? As always Mike provided interesting information!
Hope you all are loosening your belts today and enjoying the holiday………………….
Hi all – First off, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. May next year’s be more normal. I’m thankful that this site exists for all the fun it provides throughout the year, so special thanks to Mike and Angela for the amount of hard work it takes to keep us all entertained.
I figured the answer must have FULL in it, and then KNEW was there which implied WELL, but I had mistakenly put down WOBBLE for the third word. After seeing ELLBOW, I corrected it to BELLOW, and the letters then worked.
“The pitcher KNEW FULL WELL that he could PLUNK the FLEET superstar at the plate, but that he would then BELLOW for his LAWYER and make it not worth the trouble.”
Tks, Steve.
Thank you, Steve. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! 🙂
Appropriate puzzle for this day. Loved the fun facts, Mike. I think I heard somewhere that the busiest day for Roto Rooter is the day after Thanksgiving. Wishing all of you a very happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
Happy Thanksgiving, wishing you all good Heath.Puzzle was a Thanksgiving treat w a quick solve for the anagrams and cartoon !
Good Afternoon, Everyone. The man in today’s cartoon is Jeff’s good friend, the comedic magician, Mac King. The women are his wife, Jennifer Sils, standing, and I’m pretty certain their daughter, Elizabeth. It looks like Mac took the Covid warnings to heart, and celebrated today with just his immediate family and their dog. Mac’s had a leg up on these puzzles, being featured on many a Thanksgiving Day over the years; in fact, many in a row…where we’ve also seen a good number of guests for dinner…and I know for certain the dog appeared in the puzzles of 2016 and 2018. Last year though, Mac wasn’t featured at all…Fowl play? Who knows…but rest assured, he’s usually the stuff the Jumble Thanksgiving puzzle is made of…Hope you’re all enjoying your day. Be well and stay safe out there…🦃🙋🏻♀️
Thanks for the info! Take care.
YW, Steve. You take care too. 🦃🙋🏻♀️
🦁 Waiting while his parents spoke with the LAWYER, the child decided to PLUNK down on the floor, pulling his stuffed lion out from his FLEET of toys..and as it’s BELLOW was heard throughout the office, his Father reminded him that he KNEW FULL WELL the need to play quieter ….🦁
🙇🏻♂️ The statue fell down on his head, the PLUNK made quite a sound,
He couldn’t help but BELLOW, as it landed on the ground
And for a moment, very FLEET, he felt disorientated…
And wondered if he should remain as others celebrated…
But when the others said “There’s blood, a LAWYER you should tell”
His dizziness lent credence…and that’s when he KNEW FULL WELL..🙇🏻♂️
