  1. Good Morning, Everyone…☎️ HELLO AND BEHOLD!☎️ 

    🎶 HELLO…is it me you’re looking for?…🎶 “Hello” – Lionel Richie 1984  https://tinyurl.com/bdeuakvw

    ☎️ Across the FOAMY ocean waves, they finally had no DOUBT,

    That they could CLENCH…oh clinch I meant, a way to speak about…

    …Just anything they wanted…a JUNGLE’s worth of sprawl…

    And yes, a wise decision…’Twas truly a GOOD CALL! ☎️

    September 25th, 1956…and they made WAVES…but I can’t help thinking…WIRE we doing this today? We could have just waited one more month…

    So…Our cable in question, the Transatlantic Telephone Cable, https://tinyurl.com/473dtdep did successfully connect both sides of the Atlantic with a telephone CALL…It was a GOOD Decision, a GOOD idea…= it definitely was…a GOOD CALL https://tinyurl.com/5n7jcdx2 …And there’s really not much more to SPEAK of as FAR as this puzzle’s concerned…Talk about an easy, breezy Monday…this one’s iDIAL…

    Jeff’s💎Gems? The calendar on the wall reads, “Bell Systems”, and of course it’s opened to September, 1956. But it’s the telephone operator who’s RINGING bells here today…It’s the lovable, talented actress and comedian Lily Tomlin,  https://tinyurl.com/22mpwcb3 in the role that stole hearts and shot her to fame on “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In”. https://tinyurl.com/25867fmt  It’s Ernestine… https://tinyurl.com/38vbbx6a …everyone’s favorite Ma Bell employee. Kudos, Jeff…Talk about a Good Call! 

    So…There you have it Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…and in the words of Ernestine…”A gracious GOOD morning to you”…☎️🙋🏻‍♀️

  2. 🧺 It was like a JUNGLE out there, trying to compete with the other laundry detergent companies…and they did have some DOUBT…but with fingers crossed, and a CLENCH of their teeth, they made a GOOD CALL going with “FOAMY” as their inaugural product line…🧺

    👍🏻She felt her stomach CLENCH up, there surely was no DOUBT,
    That FOAMY feel of bubbles…and she began to pout…
    The competition definitely tough, a JUNGLE to deal with,
    But she was here to prove herself, to show her inner grit
    Determined to come out on top, she’s giving it her all…
    And confident the choice she made will def be a GOOD CALL…👍🏻

  4. Mondays are great for the start of a jumble week ! But the most frustrating thing is when the anagrams and the jumble all go smooth and the one anagram sticks it’s tounge out and says who am I ? And that was CLENCH ! I just didn’t see it ! Oh well , the rest were there and the jumble was definitely a GOOD CALL ! Good start ! I haven’t heard Lionel Richie for a long time and forgot how talented he was ! That was a good video song by him , Angela ! And wow ! What a blast from the past with Lily Tomlin on Rowan and Martins laugh in ! Nice post ! So this week is starting off as usual for a Monday , so everyone, let’s have fun !!!!!!

  5. Was in a bit of a hurry this morning, saw the CALL word, but didn’t look further for a first word. Then unscrambled anagrams (yes, even CLENCH) and pieced together an easy Monday Puzzle. Didn’t see the Lily Tomlin connection, but yes…enjoyed her and others way back when. Have a great start to the week, Angela. Terry

    • Tk you, Terry….The dialogue of “One ringy dingy”…how could you miss it? She put it on the map! ☎️🙋🏻‍♀️

  6. This was a fun Monday morning. Thank you for the link to Lily Tomlin videos. One Ringy Dingy ! Good memories. Thanks, Stan

  7. There are 13 4-4 anagrams of OADOLCGL and lots of other anagrams, so this Jumble is an anagram JUNGLE. The 4-4 anagrams include COAL GOLD, COLD GOAL, CLAD LOGO, GLAD LOCO, and others, so saying the solution is a GOOD CALL is itself a GOOD CALL. But I can just envision, if I were living in that day, I would wonder, how could they create thousands of miles of cable and sink it down into the FOAMY ocean? I think many people of that day would DOUBT it could be done. Nowadays we have satellite, but that is also a big task, requiring a tremendous amount of energy to get satellites in orbit and lots of people CLENCHing their fists hoping the launch goes OK. And if something goes wrong, going undersea to fix the cable or especially going up in space again to fix a satellite would be really hard.

  8. Good morning. Great way to start the week. Easy breezy but no blind solve. Loved your song choice Angela and Lily made that remark forever on our tongues. Couldn’t wait for the show to come on every week. One big happy laugh in. Until tomorrow take care.

  9. Should have gotten the cartoon solution in a flash but was misled thinking the first word was long rather than good. Chuck.

  10. Yes, it was a very good call

    One that linked us all

    We could now rejoice

    Hearing a familiar voice

    And it made the world seem so small!

  11. I always loved Lily’s Ernestine asking, “Is this the party to who I am speaking?” Well, of course!

  12. 🤷🏻‍♂️At the time the impact wasn’t seen,
    For the most part we all still were green…
    But it opened our world,
    When the calls did unfurl…
    And started a whole new routine…🤷🏻‍♂️

    🗣️‘Cross the ocean we started we speak,
    And of course it was very unique…
    It brought such new-found joy,
    Like a child with a toy…
    As we dealt with the brand new mystique…🗣️

    👍🏻 It took years before we’d get it right,
    And not need ships that passed in the night…
    The technology grew,
    So that we could pursue…
    Connecting without taking flight…👍🏻

    👏🏻👏🏻Years went by and there was so much change,
    New worlds opened…we gathered such range…
    Now from Europe to here,
    It’s all devil-may-care…
    A so quick and so easy exchange…👏🏻👏🏻

    📱We can FaceTime today…or we text,
    All the world is now easily annexed…
    It’s all right here at hand, 
    Travel…from land to land…
    Everything’s now so easily expressed! 📱

  13. Today’s Jumbles were easy to get, also the prize answer. The best part was recognizing Lily Tomlin as the telephone operator! Good fun memory, thanks!
