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, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.
One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.

Except chocolate.
There was a young girl from St. Paul,
Who spent lots of time at the mall.
She spent all her money,
And that wasn’t funny,
But she said she was having a ball.
Another one……
There was a girl from Nantucket,
Who went shopping for a bucket.
She went to a big store,
That had buckets galore,
Then realized she didn’t really need it.
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
I wish my family could live by this advice.
Alas....

Excellent advice, too bad I am more compulsive.
Not an exception, a need, like air and water.
My one true addiction.
