  1. Good Morning, Everyone…🤦🏻‍♂️ HITTING A SORE SPOT🤦🏻‍♂️

    🎶 But still they begin…NEEDLES and pins…🎶…”Needles and Pins” – The Searchers 1964 https://tinyurl.com/3st4rv7v

    🤦🏻‍♂️The RAINY weather caused him pain, a MINOR twinge no longer,
    So much work left on the DUPLEX, he needs to feel much stronger…
    But he’s trying to GATHER wits…’cause hearing he’s not slim?
    Is so uncalled for and he wants her to quit NEEDLING HIM…🤦🏻‍♂️

    This one’s so easy, breezy, there’ll be no need to STICK around for long…

    ° Acupuncture…https://tinyurl.com/yupm26nb …relieving pain through the use of NEEDLES…

    ° NEEDLING someone…provoking or goading …

    …And today, our client SPIKE Lee is being teased about his weight gain by the acupuncturist, Emily BLUNT…who’s getting UNDER HIS SKIN with her SHARP tongue…And let’s face it, Folks…between our very graphic cartoon, and the obvious nature of our dialogue…there’s no POINT IN GOING ANY DEEPER with this one…Spike didn’t appreciate the acupuncturist…NEEDLING HIM https://tinyurl.com/ya3pcyba

    Jeff’s💎Gems? Emily’s “POINTless” and Spike’s “POKING”…. Plus the body chart on the wall…Another JAB well done…

    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 whose chronic pain went away after going for acupuncture…Which just goes to show that the PIN is mightier than the SORE…🤦🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️

    …And a Shout 🗣️Out to David…all new anagrams today! 🔠🙋🏻‍♀️

  2. 🤷🏻‍♂️The MINOR was trying to GATHER information about the DUPLEX for his book report on this RAINY day, but fell behind because his brother kept NEEDLING HIM…🤷🏻‍♂️

    🤦🏻‍♂️Dealing with the DUPLEX board…a problem from the start,
    What should have been a MINOR thing…they all took it to heart…
    The RAINY weather hindered him, his thoughts he couldn’t GATHER,
    But time was of the essence…and today was when he’d rather
    …Resolve the situation since he’s had it to the brim…
    And he’s in need of closure so that they’ll stop NEEDLING HIM…🤦🏻‍♂️

  3. 🤦🏻‍♂️While there are people who swear by it’s worth,
    There are those who say no way on earth…
    Sticking pins in one’s flesh?
    Using body’s as mesh?
    Doesn’t conjure up feelings of mirth…🤦🏻‍♂️

    🤷🏻‍♂️But it’s healing powers have been known,
    To solve problems where soreness has grown…
    The endorphins unleash,
    Giving some people peace…
    As their pain doesn’t reach points full blown…🤷🏻‍♂️

    🤦🏻‍♂️ And today we see Spike being treated,
    But he’s not thrilled with how he’s been greeted…
    Seems that Emily’s flip,
    And she shoots from the hip…
    And we see that our Spike’s getting heated…🤦🏻‍♂️

    👎🏻Yes, he has put on a pound or two,
    But to tease him…that should be taboo…
    Emily thinks that she’s funny,
    But she’s out of the money…
    ‘Cause here it’s quite frankly undue…👎🏻

    🤷🏻‍♂️So the needling that we see here,
    Won’t do much to have clients endear…
    She should ‘stick’ to the script,
    Clients shouldn’t be ripped…
    And let’s hope Spike’s made that crystal clear…🤷🏻‍♂️

  5. It’s taco time ! Another perfect jumble for me with the anagrams and jumble ! ! With all the E’s and acupuncture the NEEDLING came right out ! Todays is suzies birthday and I’m getting me a taco with a cake ! Angela another great post with your song and friend and the rest ! Great day ! Everyone have a nice taco-Tuesday !!!!!!

  6. Easy Jumble today. With all of the needles in the cartoon, I had it solved before working on the anagrams. Angela, you cracked me up with the name Spike Lee. Thanks ! Have a great day, Stan

    • LOL! 😂 YW, Stan…and thank you 🤦🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️

  7. Pretty simple blind solve this morning, which was good as I had to back in GATHER. I saw your video and remember that band (and of course, the ED SULLIVAN SHOW on Sunday nights), but don’t remember that particular song. The pun about your friend was cute and witty. Enjoy your Taco Tuesday, Angela. Terry

  8. Good morning. All smiles today with even a blind solve. I was stuck on Duplex so I went to the cartoon and coming up with the answer I knew the 3 letters I needed to get and it nailed me the word. You pinned the tail on the donkey with your song choice Angela and even had me shaking my head back and forth with your ending remark. Until tomorrow take care.

    • Good Morning, Paul. Pinned the tail on the donkey! 👏🏻👏🏻LOL!😂 …But the shaking your head back and forth….does that mean you approve? Take care…🤦🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️

  9. As I’ve said before, the puzzles are getting easier or I’m getting smarter or as you said, maybe both. Either way I had a quick solve of all on a rainy Tuesday. Chuck.

  10. Yes, it’s best to leave joking aside

    If it’s a procedure you’re there to provide

    But a wry sense of humour

    Might just relax the consumer

    So let discretion be your guide!

    There’s a big difference between jokes and humour as joking is often very personal while humour tends to be more general and doesn’t point a finger at anyone in particular.

    • 🤷🏻‍♀️But in situations such as this,
      It can often be a hit or miss…
      It’s a business place first,
      And clients need be nursed…
      So the humor may come off a dis…🤷🏻‍♀️

      🔪 Lest you know the said person quite well,
      Body remarks are never good sell…
      Comments sting like a knife,
      And may often cause strife…
      And that’s not a wise place one should dwell…🔪

      😷 Besides weight shaming’s never a win,
      Comes to that people have a thin skin…
      So it’s best to keep mum,
      Let that be rule of thumb..
      Yes…In this case…just stick to your pins! 😷

  11. RIP, George Wendt. You will always be the quintessential Norm. Cheers…🙏🏻❤️
