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.

3 min. Start with last two letters in contraction and the rest fell into place. I’ll show you.
Getting to be ‘feast or famine’.
Giant Mental Block yesterday, today it was childs play.
Need to get some consistency....
2 min... start with the contraction.
Very nice one fun to solve and bracing. A quote after my own heart. 3 min.
Two minutes. Glad to be back in the land of contractions and one-letter words! LOL! You do find some obscure authors, though. Well, at least they are obscure to me. But now I’m learning about a new person every day, because I always search them afterwards.

I did it in less that 6 minutes including interruptions...
Easy peasy.
A nice sassy start this morning.
