  1. Good Morning, Everyone…🤦🏻‍♂️JUST WEIGHT…THIS IS BOUND TO GET HEAVY! 🤦🏻‍♂️

    🎶This is NO LAUGHING MATTER…Somehow I want to cry…🎶 “Tbis is No Laughing Matter” – Glenn Miller & His Orchestra (featuring Bob Eberle) 1941  https://tinyurl.com/y7ubxtee

    🤦🏻‍♂️ An UPHILL battle now he has, as she begins to HOLLER,
    One can’t blame her for now getting def hot under the collar…
    His daughter can’t ADJOIN with him…his comment not HUMANE,
    To hint that his wife’s BIGGER?…His AGENDA…pretty lame
    A decent man would never joke that his wife’s gotten fatter..
    A ‘hairy’ situation now…To her? …NO LAUGHING”MAD-HER”…🤦🏻‍♂️

    Sometimes it’s best to just SCALE back with the jokes…

    So…Today…A family of three…Mel BLANK, his wife, Drew CARRYMORE, and their daughter, IDA CLARE. And while Drew is doing some word puzzles, Mel and Ida are looking through the old wedding album, and come across a pic of Drew, in her wedding gown. But Mel’s rude comment about Drew never being able to fit back in that dress now?…She definitely SVELTE insulted. And as can be expected, the situation’s turned HAIRY…(Yes, pun intended). Let’s face it, Folks, POUND for POUND, that was definitely a LOADED remark…How could Mel be so BLANK? It’s not like the years haven’t ALTERED his appearance too…so to make such a BALD-faced comment is ridiculous…I mean, COMB on now…have a little sensitivity…And as for what happens now? I’m pretty sure Mel’s going to be carrying the WEIGHT of this one for months to come…IDA give a MILLION to one HEAVY odds that Drew’s definitely going to GAIN an advantage with this…She’s upset…(=MAD)…and as Ida points out…it’s NO LAUGHING MAD-HER” https://tinyurl.com/ab7z9rrz  …So let’s just WAIST and see…But as for us, there’s definitely no WEIGHTing around today…This easy, breezy play on an age-old idiom? SLIM chance we’d LOSE out here…Those quotation marks definitely carried some WEIGHT today..

    Jeff’s💎Gems? A box containing more photos…and Drew’s newspaper…showing a Crossword Puzzle, the Jumble, a Word Search, and David & Jeff’s Boggle Brainbusters… But the clincher?…Drew’s doing her puzzles with a pen!🖊️…A woman after my own heart! 

    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 showed up the other night looking as if he had the WEIGHT of the world on his shoulders. (Foolishly), we asked what was wrong, and he said that he had walked in on his wife in the bathroom that morning, standing on the scale, and told her to suck in her stomach…it’d help her to see the numbers better…NeedLESS to say, he’s now WEIGHTing around to hear about an apartment to rent…But the sad part is, you’d think he would have GAINed some perspective about it all.  No, not him. He said after she told him to get out, he asked her if she’d help him with the move…you know, the HEAVY lifting. I swear, on a SCALE of one to ten, he don’t know ‘SQUAT’…And we made sure he understood that he won’t be doing ‘THAT’ at any of our houses…Here’s to hoping he doesn’t WEIGH in any time soon..🤦🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️

  2. AND OUT OF THE ARCHIVES…This🤏🏻close…

    The puzzle of October 28th, 2012…”To her, being tickled by her big sister was”…NO LAUGHING MATTER…

    …And the puzzle of July 28th, 2019… https://tinyurl.com/426cfhe4 …NJEYO! 🔠🙋🏻‍♀️

  3. 👍🏻 Knowing it was NO LAUGHING MATTER, and to avoid an UPHILL battle, he tried to be HUMANE…and the BIGGER person…by offering a HOLLER out to the others, and agreeing to ADJOIN his project with theirs to create a new AGENDA…👍🏻

    🤦🏻‍♀️The group began to HOLLER, to ADJOIN now seemed a farce,
    The AGENDA once going UPHILL …now just looking pretty sparse
    The BIGGER picture thrown aside…HUMANE? No…thoughts a’shatter…
    They’re deadlocked on the whole idea…and it’s NO LAUGHING MATTER…🤦🏻‍♀️

  4. 🤷🏻‍♀️Fighting weight gain…no walk in the park,
    And let’s face it, it’s hardly a lark…
    But the battle is teal,
    And most people feel….
    They don’t need the comments of snark…🤷🏻‍♀️

    🔪 Insensitive to say the least,
    Are those who so easily unleash…
    Words cutting like knives,
    About some other’s lives…
    That cause resentment to increase…🔪 

    👎🏻So Mel that we see here today,
    In what seems like his usual way…
    Has criticized Drew,
    And the tension’s now grew…
    Even though he’s thinking it’s all play….👎🏻

    🤷🏻‍♀️So Drew mentions, Mel’s lacking most hair,
    And his daughter is making it clear…
    That funny, he’s not,
    Yes, old Mel’s on the spot…
    And it don’t look like it’s ending there…🤷🏻‍♀️

    🤦🏻‍♂️Who knows what’s in store for this guy,
    Looks like he’ll find himself high and dry…
    Yes, it’s rule of thumb,
    Men don’t be so dumb…
    Or you’ll find you can kiss peace goodbye!🤦🏻‍♂️

  6. what a Funday Sunday ! First Sunday in a long time that o got all the anagrams and jumble ! Yes the old saying and quotation marks brought that right out ! I’ve missed some days to comment , so today’s brings back all my joyful jumble experience ! Your song was right on Angela ! And your friend , wow ! Never joke about your wife or mates weight ! Whew ! Nice way to start the week off !! Nice post Angela ! Let’s have a great Sunday Funday !!!!!!

  7. There were certainly lots of WEIGHTY insults flying around the Jumble pages this morning. Boy…don’t wanna get caught saying anything like that to my significant other !!! Pretty familiar with Glenn Miller playlist, but didn’t recognize this song…so will have to listen later, for sure. Unscrambled the six words okay, but then ran out of steam. Enjoy your Sunday Funday. Terry

    • LOL…Tks, Terry…And  the song, a good one….you’ll enjoy it. 🎶🙋🏻‍♀️

    • Thanks for sending Junior jumble….in front of puzzle was an ad to subscribe to Daily News….so unable to access puzzle. Terry

      • Terry…Scroll down and see the comment and link I left for the Professor.🙋🏻‍♀️

  8. I also was not familiar with the Glenn Miller song reference despite being a Glenn Miller fan and even playing his songs on my accordion. I tried to access your kids Jumble post but couldn’t access it.As far as today’s Jumble I solved the anagrams and had the letters for the cartoon solution.I thought the solution was No laughing her man,but didn’t have 3 N’s for the solution,but then after pondering it,and paying attention to the quotes around the last 2 words,came up with the “No laughing “mad her” solution. Chuck.

    • The paper changed its format this week. I had a feeling it might not work..I’ll take another look. Kudos 👏🏻👏🏻on the solve. 🙋🏻‍♀️

    • Prof…I’m not having any luck with my paper. This link will work, but there’s the word THE between the two given words that’s not showing here. The solve is a 3-word answer. Sorry I couldn’t get you the actual copy…🙋🏻‍♀️

  9. Good morning. I’ll read everything later as as I’m being requested to play bocce Got the words with a little hiccup on adjoin and agenda. I was able to get a half of a blind solve but even after I put down the letters I couldn’t come up with the last two words in quotation marks. You dug deep into the archives on that old song. Always enjoy the band era. Until tomorrow take care.

    • Good Morning, Paul. Yes, I’ve been in a Big Band mood. Good luck with your game…Take care. 🙋🏻‍♀️
