The only ones I could come up with were "LOVE IS BLIND" and "TIME IS MONEY" - and neither of those fit the rest of the clue ...

Ah ... maybe I do.
Second The second character in "Winnie-the-Pooh" is the aforementioned bear, and he is obsessed with HONEY
Quarter Some kind of American money, possibly a DIME
So "DIME HONEY"; the question mark indicates "sounds like" so "TIME MONEY" and the "IS" is spurious!

Oh bother...
Second = unit of time
quarter = quarter dollar
tie = equal (is)

I've done one this week, so if they want it I've no objection.
If I don't hear otherwise in a couple of hours, I'll post tomorrow (give me time to think of one).

I have seen some obscure clues in CCC but I think that beats all.

I have two (tiny) issues with the new Start window.
First issue: I want to rearrange the options list (on the right side) to put "New Project" at the top .. and not be something I always have to scroll down to find.
Second issue. When I close a solution, most often the next thing I want to do is quit VS. But the Start Menu has reappeared and you can't click FILE: Exit without first closing that Start Menu. A little aggravation each time I'm ready to exit VS 2019.

The what? Disabling the VS Start Page is one of the first things I do after an install.
At startup: Show empty environment

The X button at the top right corner?

Thanks for the feedback. My first post in the Lounge ... a fun place, looks like, for odd comments and quick responses!
About my second issue, on closing a solution, then quitting VS:
1) Yes, I could turn that Start window off, but I don't mind it all that much on startup (unless I am planning to open a new project ..that is Issue #1). It is when I am in shut down/exit mode, that I find it a tiny bit annoying.
2) Unfortunately, neither ALT-F4 nor CTRL-W (nor the X in the upper right corner of the VS window) will work to quit VS ... if the mouse is outside the Start Window (or dialog box, whatever). Those commands DO work ..on that Start Window and do close it .. if the mouse is moved inside of the window. That leaves VS still open and it requires repeating one of those key actions or using the FILE: Exit option to exit the whole thing.
So, my point is that it takes (at least) 2 mouse clicks (one in the Start Window, then one in VS window) to quit the application after clicking Close Solution. In olden days (VS 2017), you clicked Close Solution and then clicked Exit.

If you're going to exit VS after closing the solution, you may as well just click the X button in the title bar. One click.

Humm ... I guess we all have superstitions. If all files/work have been saved, I suppose you are right and there is no need to "close solution." I could just click the X button right there in VS to quit. But .. force of habit ... I always do save and close the solution. Then the empty VS window appears .. but with a START dialog box in the middle that has to be closed first.
Incidentally, other applications - like Quickbooks - do manage to keep the File Menu option (and the main window X box) "alive" while displaying a dialogbox of sorts where you can choose to open another company file (or quit the whole application with a single click. :-}

... While praising all the gods that VS still has a title bar!
If ms devs had to put up with the cr@p they foist off on other ms programs, they'd quit in an instant.

Well, I have finally completed my move to a brand new fresh built house. And I have a fiber to the house! My current speedtest results show 987MB Upload and 950Mb download. Seventh heaven, I never have to leave the house (except when she decides we are going out to eat/movie/bar)

That makes me think of the song "Haus am See":
