Good Morning, Everyone…I hope this finds you well..
🚬 WHERE THERE’S SMOKE?…THERE’S IRE! 🚬
🎶 Well, we all say that WE’LL QUIT SOMEDAY…When our ship comes in we’ll just sail away…But we’re just BLOWIN’ SMOKE…Hey yeah, We’re just BLOWIN’ SMOKE…🎶 “Blowin’ Smoke” – Kacey Musgraves 2013 https://tinyurl.com/2p9xy39e
🚬 When nicotine does BECKON one to give in and light up,
One finds oneself with WOVEN tales…there’s always a backup…
One tries to make excuses…most just DIMLY get across,
They’re SMOGGY and they’re inane…and they just come off as dross…
And when one’s caught red-handed once again you’ll hear one choke…
On empty words that boil down to one just BLOWING SMOKE! 🚬
Chasing away mosquitoes…hardy, hardy, har TAR! A fly LIE! What a joke…just to get a TOKE!
Late night…on back porches all across America…And while we might feel for the guy, it’s pretty obvious that his wife has had it with these LIGHT-weight excuses…So once again finding him sneaking a cigarette, just LIGHTS her fire…and she calls him on it. Of course she knew, cigarette smoke lingers…and when she opened that door, it wasn’t insect repellent that she detected wafting through the air…So the bottom line? She knew he was just BLOWING SMOKE… https://tinyurl.com/4t8e8ftt in more ways than one! And you gotta love the double pun!
And as we see our guy dropping the evidence over the railing into the bushes below, the PUFF…I mean the pup, with his tongue hanging out in disgust, adds just the right amount of LIGHTheartedness to a serious topic!
So…There you have it, Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And in the words of Tolkien…Bad HOBBITS https://tinyurl.com/w2zspk8u die hard! 🚬🙋🏻♀️
I STAND WITH UKRAINE 💔🇺🇦 …AND I STAND FOR REFORM IN AMERICA 💔🇺🇸
Good morning again. Thanks Angela for the song video. I went back and watched it and really enjoyed it. Thank God that Vice is long gone. It took years to finally give it up for good. Thirty six years now without even a puff. Take care.
Good Morning, Paul. YW, and thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Be well and stay safe out there…🙋🏻♀️
I’m with ya ! It’s been over 30 yrs for too without a puff !
Congratulations ! It’s been 40 years for me – hardest thing I ever did, but so glad i did !

Out of town so my morning digital copy hasn’t arrived ….took a chance with past successes and used Chicago Tribune and there it was. It was in that “timed” mode, which I don’t really care for….so just started stumbling through anagrams, looked at cartoon, and plugged in the answer. Great way to start a Tuesday morning.
Terry..I think there’s a way you can turn the timer thing off…Check the settings…🚬🙋🏻♀️
I’ll try to check that out ..thanks, Angela
👍🏻YW! 🙋🏻♀️
🤷🏻♀️She knew he was just BLOWING SMOKE with his SMOGGY, DIMLY WOVEN excuse…and it did nothing to BECKON her to his side…🤷🏻♀️
🤦🏻♀️The day started off SMOGGY, a pall WOVEN through the air,
It could hardly BECKON her to wake and then to wash her hair…
No way to DIMLY hide the fact that frizz would make it flop,
It’s days like this that she refers to her hair as a mop!
And if it wasn’t so true, it might come off as a joke…
But TBT, it’s what it is…she’s not just BLOWING SMOKE! 🤦🏻♀️
🤷🏻♂️Quitting smoking is no easy feat,
Makes one SMOGGY while trying to beat…
The urge that does BECKON,
You end up a wreckin’…
Relationships with the defeat!🤷🏻♂️
🤦🏻♀️So he lies again to grab a toke,
And his wife tells him..,”This ain’t no joke…
You keep saying you’ll quit,
But you’re so full of it…
You’re so needing to get yourself woke”! 🤦🏻♀️
🚬 Nicotine is a tough drug to shake,
Quitting usually isn’t one take…
One tries hard as one might,
But it’s definitely a fight…
And most likely a promise one breaks! 🚬
🤦🏻♀️Our guy’s standing outside on the porch,
With the vice for which he holds a torch…
And much to his chagrin,
His wife’s…”No, not again”!
And her temper’s doing the slow scorch! 🤦🏻♀️
🐶 Even Fido’s showing he can’t take,
The smell cigarettes do tend to make…
Wonders if his doghouse,
Will be shared with this spouse…
Since this habit he can’t seem to break! 🐶
Another great jumble to continue a streak of great ones ! Just like yesterdays anagrams , not one was SMOGGY ! They came to me WOVEN very nice ! Not one was DIMLY , so they made a BECKON call to follow in the path of yesterday’s ! The jumble came right away when it read about cigarettes and trying to quit easily , was BLOWING SMOKE ! But I’m not , when I have to say I haven’t smoked in 30 years , after I got hypnotized ! All I can say , is that it worked for me and I totally recommend it ! So sorry to get off the path , this was a fun and entertaining jumble to continue tomorrow and the rest of the week ! Have a great taco-Tuesday !!!!’
We all try to blow some smoke
When there’s something we want to cloak
Maybe a little white lie
Which is just pie in the sky
To deflect those well-meaning folk!
Good morning. I got all the words and like always double checked to make sure I am correct and to my surprise I had the first word as Mildy, not realizing I needed an extra L. It put me in such a mood I gave up on the cartoon answer. The answer for a blind solve was right there in the drawing too. Oh well. Until tomorrow stay well and stay safe.
RIP, Mss Loretta Lynn. God speed 💔🙏🏻
A clean sweep again, having a good Jumble week!
Easy breezy Jumble this morning. Happy Tuesday all!
What a fun jumble again today ! It wasn’t a blind solve for me but close, I had the jumble right away and I’m not “BLOWING SMOKE”. “BECKON” and “SMOGGY” gave me a little challenge, they were “DIMLY” “WOVEN” in my brain ! Fun day ! So, until tomorrow hoping everyone has a sunny day !🌞
