Good Morning, Everyone…I hope this finds you well
🖥 I’M RESOLUTELY IN FAVOR OF THIS ONE! 🖥
🎶 I want to, I want to, I want to take you HIGHER…🎶 “I Want to Take You Higher” – Sly & The Family Stone” 1969 https://tinyurl.com/4aj4wwj5
🖥 They bought a brand new monitor, it’s SHINY and it’s huge,
The words so clear in INDIGO…no chance of subterfuge…
They’d soon FORGET what it was like with monitors before,
4K’s changed things forever…they could ask for nothing more…
(Where WITCH would fit into this theme?…It doesn’t…not today,
It gets a pass…unlike our guy…who now can’t wait to play…)
His favorite word game…he’s now psyched…a man who’s on a mission…
To see things so much clearer now…all in HIGH DEFINITION! 🖥
You gotta love how this one all comes together…I SAW the solve at a glance…but if I hadn’t…the DEFINITION? Indeed! DEFINE..tely at a HIGHer level! It’s all so CLEAR…if you just SCREEN the plethora of hints being given….
Today we take a LOOK at a couple sitting before their new 4K monitor… https://tinyurl.com/2s3f2a97 marveling at what it offers, and happy that they made that New Year’s RESOLUTION to HIGHten their game…And we see them accessing an online DICTIONARY… a place where one goes to get the DEFINITIONs of words…And they’ve chosen WORDUP, https://tinyurl.com/5fuy59jz an app where one would do just that…Taking it a step HIGHer, check out the DEFINITION DISPLAYed on the screen… https://tinyurl.com/ypddrxc6 …(scroll down to #8)…As I said…you gotta love this! It’s like a road map! GPS at its finest! …Add all this to our dialogue…”Scrabble WORD challenges” = DEFINITIONS and “don’t need my reading glasses”…(which are seen being held in her hand) = things are SHARP, CLEAR = HIGHLY DEFINED …(again see #8)…So in a nutSPELL? When they accessed the DICTIONARY, it was …HIGH DEFINITION! https://tinyurl.com/5n76b9hm …And I have to take my cap off to our guys today…Again, they DEFINE…tely put a new spin on this one, worked the play on WORDS from two prospectives, and took it all to a much HIGHer level!
So…There you have it Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And if you’re doing this puzzle ONLINE, I’d take a SCREEN shot of it…this one just may TECHnically qualify David and Jeff as geniuses! 🖥🙋🏻♀️

Today is WORLD KIDNEY DAY... https://tinyurl.com/4dfk3sjn …In July of 2007, Jeff donated a kidney to his cousin. He’s featured the story in a few puzzles over the years..Here’s one from June 3rd, 2015. https://tinyurl.com/c7f69f9z and another from July 11th, 2012… https://tinyurl.com/y35796nn I’m still searching for the others…Bottom line? Hats off, Jeff. Here’s to you…Cent’ Anni! 🍷🙋🏻♀️
🧙🏻♂️ Watching a movie about a WITCH on their HIGH DEFINITION TV, placed upon their SHINY, INDIGO-colored stand, made them FORGET their problems for a while…🧙🏻♂️
🤷🏻♂️The choices were a Zombie, a Werewolf or a WITCH,
No matter what he’d choose it all came down to being kitsch…
The costume somewhat SHINY, made it hard to FORGET,
That he looked bad in INDIGO…which led to more regret
He couldn’t help but wonder if it would come to fruition…
This crazy idea they had to come dressed HIGH DEFINITION!🤷🏻♂️
🖥 The more pixels the sharper your pic,
And for them words are their bailiwick…
They went in for 4K,
And it sure made their day…
The new monitor def did the trick! 🖥
👏🏻👏🏻 With 4K resolution’s not lost,
Though there may be a little more cost…
But the vision’s so clear,
That the cost being dear?
Not an issue…and doubt was just tossed! 👏🏻👏🏻
🔠 He plays Scrabble…but often gets stopped,
Seems some words of his may take a flop…
But this monitor here,
Gonna save wear and tear…
When he tries to play words like Aesop…🔠
🔍 With the clarity they’ve newly found,
It’s a guarantee joy will abound…
Things are bigger and bright,
No more eyes squinting tight…
Yes, the purchase was definitely sound! 🔍
🖥 So this monitor like a new toy,
Has brought our couple absolute joy…
Things will definitely improve,
And they’re now in the groove…
Standing high amongst the hoi polloi! 🖥
“When he tries to play words like Aesop…” LOL. Well played.
Clarity found. Definitely sound. Sound definitely found clarity.
LOL! Tk you…🙋🏻♀️
This week has not been easy for me ! Todays was no different ! I was blessed that my birthday on Monday was the best ! But Tuesday , Wednesday , and todays were not there for me ! The anagrams were good except a color that I didn’t get on Saturday too ! I should’ve remembered that ! Yes , on Saturday I didn’t get INDIGO either ! Wow , what is wrong with my memory ! Anyway , I hope I can end the week with some good solves and fun jumbles ! Everyone have a great thirsty-Thursday !!!!
As is very typical of long words in the Jumble cartoon, I sort of give up at the start if no immediate word pops into my brain. Such was the case this morning and went straight for the anagrams. But on a bright note, anagrams speedily unscrambled and found the answer soon enough. Then the moment comes over me when I tell myself…”Gosh, should have come up with that word”….oh well, two ways to skin a cat. Successful morning…just no blind solve. Thirsty Thursday moves onward !!
Good morning. I got the words, lickety split but had no clue on the cartoon answer. Pressed for time I took the high road. Until tomorrow stay well and be safe.
The words were easy. Yesterday we had a word not used in over 60 years, and today a word not used in five days!
The answer took a while. I first tried an ‘ing’ ending, but got nowhere. I then found HIGH, but all the I’s was puzzling. I then tried TION for the end of the second word, which led to DEFINITION! At that point I slapped my forehead and said duh.
After a pause on indigo,I was good to go on the cartoon but as usual too many letters for me to solve it, though given the clues, the answer should have been obvious.
Anagrams were solved easily, paused at the cartoon solution a bit because I too looked for an “ing” ending. Regrouped and saw “high” and then found “definition”. As always the clues were in the dialogue. We’re headed for another “atmospheric river” here in the Bay Area. We’re getting four years worth of winter in one – feast or famine. Have a good day all!
It’s definitely been a winter of some very strange weather patterns…I hope your area is spared the craziness, Betty, and that you’ll stay safe. Have a good one..🙋🏻♀️
Thanks Miss Angela. Same to you. The news reports make it sound like Armageddon is about to descend. I’m going go hunker down, knit, read, & watch NetfIix. Take care.
YW, and thank you. I’ve been trying to avoid the news the best I can…there’s so little that’s good. It just takes a toll after a while. But I have been paying attention to what’s going on by you…it’s so odd, and you know you’re always in my thoughts and prayers. Please stay safe…but as far as the hunkering down goes? All well and good…but you didn’t mention bringing the chocolate! 🍫 Let’s not go crazy now…you’re going to make me really start worrying about you! 😘🙋🏻♀️
Not to worry, Angela. I always have plenty of chocolate on hand. It’s a staple in my home.🍩 🍫 🍪
Bless you! 🍫🙋🏻♀️
