  1. Good Morning, Everyone…🏚️HOUSE THIS GOING TO WORK?🏚️

    🎶 Oh, long as all this is here, why the hell would I ever leave?…And you can’t buy that kind of DIRT CHEAP…🎶 – “Dirt Cheap” – Cody Johnson 2023  https://tinyurl.com/a6v86zw3

    🏚️ As far as hopes go…this did DOUSE whatever they did hold,
    That Home SWEET Home they had in mind? So far they’re hardly sold…
    The agent sure did FUMBLE, as far as they’re concerned,
    The house that he’s suggesting? Akin to crash and burned…
    While JOVIAL this morning…right now it’s shot to hell…
    They know money’s an issue…but this sure don’t “ABODE” WELL! 🏚️

    Turnkey? They’re thinking the agent’s more like a Turncoat!…And weren’t we just looking at property a week ago? For REAL…ESTATEs it right here I my records…And EYESORE you all remember…

    So…Today…We find ourselves in what’s not considered the best part of town. And we meet our couple, Brad (Money) PIT, and his wife, Faye RUNAWAY, looking to buy a home,(= an ABODE). Unfortunately DOUGH, the Real Estate Agent, Lionel CARRYMORE, has definitely doused their dreams…He’s heard telling them that there’s a LOT to consider here…1: Their budget – 2: The need for TLC – (not going WELL) and 3 – With said budget, things aren’t indicating (= BODE)* they’ll find what they have in mind…And while Brad’s stating that he was looking for something a little more turnkey**…and Faye’s turning green, LIONEL’S letting them know that they need to TRAIN their thoughts to TURNing over a new leaf…because with the limited funds they have? This house-hunting expedition may not…”ABODE” WELL***…And just like that? We’re SOLD! Another easy, breezy, HOME run…

    Jeff’s💎Gems? By the looks of this house? I WRECKen it speaks for itself…No need for me to LIST all its flaws…

    So…There you have it, Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And this puzzle reminds me of my friend who applied for a job writing ads for a Real Estate Newsletter. Wanting to see if he qualified, they asked him to create a listing for the only remaining apartment in a new luxury building. He wrote…”A must see…last but not LEASED”…He got the job…they were immediately SOLD on him…🏚️🙋🏻‍♀️

  2. 🤦🏻‍♂️He felt terrible to DOUSE her SWEET JOVIAL mood, but he knew things wouldn’t BODE WELL after the FUMBLE he made…🤦🏻‍♂️

    🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♂️The downpour def did DOUSE them, the JOVIAL mood now gone,
    What looked to be a SWEET night out? …A FUMBLE now was drawn
    They hope to salvage something…but right now who could tell…
    Considering the way they feel? It probably won’t BODE WELL…🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️

  3. 🗓️ A week ago we came this way, 
    But a different twist on that said day…
    Those Folks just looked to let,
    So as not to regret…
    The place they decided to stay…🗓️

    🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♂️Home buying is no piece of cake,
    There are oft times features to forsake…
    But there’s one thing for sure,
    Clients hate to endure…
    The fact that some homes they can’t take…🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♀️

    🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️You start off with hopes that are high,
    Never thinking they’re pie-in-the-sky…
    Yes the budget’s not huge,
    But is this subterfuge?
    Is this all that their money can buy?🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♂️

    🏚️And we’re seeing that our Brad and Faye,
    Are no where close to any payday…
    They can’t settle for this,
    It would hardly bring bliss…
    So they’re praying there’s some other way…🏚️

    💲Here’s to hoping they hit on pay dirt,
    Find a house that lives up to their worth…
    Something within their means,
    (Despite limited greens)…
    So that they can buy and keep their shirts!💲

  5. Needed anagrams to finish up puzzle today. Just wanting to know, Angela….how do you know the names of the characters? There doesn’t seem to be anything to identify them in my newspaper cartoon?? Just wondering. Cute Real Estate ad your friend composed. He deserved the job. Enjoy your Thirsty Thursday. Terry

    • Tks, Terry…The characters don’t have names….i just make them up…🏚️🙋🏻‍♀️

  6. Fun Jumble today. Angela, you are such a creative writer ! I really enjoy reading your post every day and how you come up with fun names for the characters in the cartoon. You always make me smile. Nice song choice this morning. I was not familiar with

      • anyway to copy it and post it today ? Or just read it on yesterday’s date ! Sorry

        • Jim…No need to be sorry…no harm done…But anything I post is going to read with my name…🏚️🙋🏻‍♀️

  7. From the tally I was in good company being stumped by the cartoon today. Having had problems posting, I hope this goes through. Chuck.

  8. The comment I made that failed to post, was related to the cartoon, where given the tally of those having been stumped,I was in good company having been stumped by ‘abode’ being the first word, in quotes no less. Chuck.

  9. Well, they may just have to start very humble

    With a house that’s ready to crumble

    Yes, a starter abode

    That they can bring up to code

    Are they off and ready to rumble?

    It definitely seems that they’re not

    But their path to a home may be fraught

    What are their chances

    Of securing the finances

    In a market that’s awfully hot!

    • 🏚️ Keep in mind that their funds aren’t high,
      So a foolish move would be to buy…
      Such a fixer-upper,
      They’d be crying for supper!…
      How would they afford the supplies?…🏚️

      💲Renovations could bury one deep,
      Material hardly comes cheap…
      And the cost of the labor? 
      Can cut like a saber…
      It’s wiser now their money keeps…💲

      👍🏻…Cause they’d only be digging a hole,
      And find things are out of control…
      Their best bet right now?
      Til they find that cash cow?…
      Stay renting…and save for their goal…👍🏻

  10. this one made me a little thirsty ! I got all the anagrams , but had to really think on JOVIAL ! I almost gave up , but then I buckled down and it was there ! The jumble was just not clicking with me ! I really wanted to see it with the quotation marks , but I just couldn’t put it together ! But what made it tolerable was your song choice Angela and your post of many examples of buying a house ! So this is my post I did and I recouping it ! So let’s bring on TGIF !!!

  11. Well. here in S Ontario, with the snow we had overnight and the cold temps, we could build ourselves a very affordable igloo.

    Helen

  12. The last three or so Jumbles were very easy. This one took more effort. I started in the wrong direction, but when I found WELL, I saw ABODE. I had to look again at the cartoon to convince myself it was right.

    Lots of rain in SoCal yesterday and today.
