Today’s Cryptogram

You can find this little fun word game, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications, unfortunately they are copyrighted so we can't use them here. So, we're just going to make up our own.
The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and any tips you might give the group on how you solve these puzzles as puzzle solvers love to hear how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.
Solving the puzzle under 8 minutes is good, under 6 very good, under 4 excellent and under 2 "you're a pro!"
Those of you looking for an added challenge can try to solve one sentence or even one word at a time, i.e. solve the entire first line, then go to the second line etc.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hal’s Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.
Solution to our last puzzle:
SOONER OR LATER I’M GOING TO DIE, BUT I’M NOT GOING TO RETIRE. --MARGARET MEAD
Contractions key again.
Brought a smile to face and fond “memories” to my heart.
Funny quote.
ZIP ZIP HOOORAY!!!!
WOW....had that feeling of flipping the light switch on the other side of the wall and being under the covers before it went out....(Satchel Paige)
LOL!! That only took about 2 minutes and I read half of it as is. That’s a great one!
Very cute, quick one but brings a smile.
Ain’t that the truth!
Under 2 min. Contractions got me started, double letters in 4 letter words led me to finish. A continuation of a theme?
You people are just getting too smart. The CG was taken from the Arkansas Gazetter Cryptoquote of the Day.
So, you’re getting the Nationally syndicated puzzle in less than 2 minutes!
I’m impressed..
BTW Here’s an interview with AOC:
Interviewer: I’m going to give you some names. Give me the first thing that comes to mind?
AOC: Shoot.
Interviewer: Jack Benny
AOC: Who Dat?
Interviewer: Bing Crosby
AOC: Who Dat?
INterviewer: Paul Harvey.
AOC: Who Dat?
Interviewer: Soupy Sales.
AOC: Who Dat?
Interviewer: Jackie Gleason
AOC: Who DAt?
Etc etc etc
You should feel bad for AOC. She is culturally deprived. I guess that’s because AOC is not ‘white privileged’
About two minutes, the coffee helped, I hope.
*shrug* for most of us that how life begins...
