  1. Good Morning, Everyone…👂🏻SOMETIMES SIZE DOESN’T MATTER!👂🏻

    🎶 Can you HEAR it in a whisper, can you HEAR it when I shout it loud…Can you HEAR ME NOW…🎶 “Can You Hear Me Now” – Sawyer Brown 2002 https://tinyurl.com/wnur59m9

    👂🏻She thought they might not work as well, but soon did DOUSE that fear,
    She didn’t FATHOM such a tiny piece within her ear…
    We see her and her friend ENGAGE in talk about it’s worth
    So tiny that it can’t be seen…with such a lack of girth…
    The aids, yes, they did PRUNE them…they’re now not seen from above…
    Like years ago….when these type aids were simply UNHEARD OF! 👂🏻

    EAR Ye, EAR Ye…IN-EAR DIGITAL HEARING AIDS… https://tinyurl.com/p29hj5da A big gift…in a small package…and we have them HEAR today!

    So…Two friends, HEARmione FINE, and ANNA LOG, out for coffee….And as we can see…or actually can’t…HEARmione is wearing Digital Hearing Aids, while Anna sports a tethered ear piece Hearing Aid https://tinyurl.com/p6n62yx2 too big for even her HEAR to hide. And Anna, upon just HEARING about the digital aids, is HEARD saying that she, ”DIDN’T KNOW they made them so small”…because before… they were UNHEARD OFhttps://tinyurl.com/mdzmj6vc for HEARS…I mean years…

    Jeff’s Gems…If you look atop the EARN…the menu board: …”Coffee” – $2.00; “Latte” – $3.00; “Mocha” – $3.00. SOUNDS about right… https://tinyurl.com/v5xrcd6x …And if you look real closely, the coffee cups have a Star logo…Just a Star though…no GROUNDS for infringement HEAR!

    So…THEAR you have it Folks…Done. Have a good one…Be well, be kind, stay safe…And this puzzle reminds me of a friend of mine who not having gone to college always says that he chose the “School of Hard Knocks” instead… His goal was to be a door-to-door Hearing Aid Salesman…Give it a minute…🎤👂🏻🙋🏻‍♀️

  3. 🤷🏻‍♂️It was UNHEARD OF, and hard to FATHOM, that to ENGAGE a method where one would completely DOUSE the trees and then proceed to PRUNE them would be beneficial…🤷🏻‍♂️

    🙇🏻‍♀️She saw her hope just dissipate…like a PRUNE it did shrivel,
    She didn’t FATHOM it could be…and none of it was civil…
    To DOUSE the dream so suddenly…she just couldn’t ENGAGE,
    The disappointment so intense…it soon turned into rage
    It shouldn’t be this simple….like that of hat and glove…
    It’s hard to deal with something that til now was UNHEARD OF …🙇🏻‍♀️

  4. A very good week of jumbles to end it with a capon Saturday ! I heard that ! The anagrams were all there ! The jumble was a little quiet , then I HEARD something ! Suzie tells me all the time to get a hearing aid ! And I say , it’s not that I can’t hear anyone , it’s pronunciation ! It’s not that they’re UNHEARD OF , I just have a hard time hearing that ! Ok I’ll stop ! Everyone have a great cap on today !!!!

  5. Good morning. Another good day. Not much to think about. No blind solve but handled in reasonable time. Until tomorrow take care.

  6. Bombed out in the Jumble Kingdom this morning, even with anagrams solved. I thought the last word might be ON, and went down that rabbit path to no avail. Oh well…it can happen. Now, on to Sunday !! Terry

  7. It’s important to know you can hear
    With that tiny wee thing in your ear
    So congrats to those
    To the challenge who rose –
    Reduced the size but made the sound oh so clear!

    • ☕️Two friends chatting o’er coffee we see,
      And the conversation…auditory…
      One has def raised the bar,
      Has an aid best by far…
      And so tiny it’s real hard to see…☕️

      🦻🏻 HEARmione sprung for the new aids,
      And to Anna she’s singing it’s praise…
      So pleased with how it fits,
      And the static? It quits…
      She’s convinced that now she has it made…🦻🏻

      🤷🏻‍♀️Anna up until now didn’t know,
      She could get an aid that wouldn’t show…
      She’s amazed at the size,
      Yes it came as surprise…
      It’s a boon as far hearing aids go…🤷🏻‍♀️

      👍🏻 Anna still wearing analog aids,
      Is considering going upgrade…
      Seeing her friend so pleased,
      Wearing new aids with ease…
      Yes the tine has come when she’ll make trade…👍🏻

      👏🏻👏🏻 So this coffee meet proved beneficial,
      ‘Tween the two friends nothing’s artificial…
      Anna learned something new,
      She’ll be bidding adieu…
      To the old…making the new official! 👏🏻👏🏻

      • Nice play on words by David and Jeff but not true. In the early 1950s my grandmother had big clunky hearing aids but they existed and many people wore them. Seventy years later I wear digital hearing aids.

        • What’s untrue? Nowhere does it say that hearing aids “didn’t exist”. What it says is “IN-EAR DIGITAL HEARING AIDS” didn’t exist. The “big clunky hearing aids” you speak of are the same as what the puzzle’s referring to as being the “before”..🦻🏻🙋🏻‍♀️

    • Nice limerick, Helen! Short and to the point, showing quality over quantity. There’s no need to compete.
