Very interesting; I guess "bone" is a corruption of "Bohn".
Here in the US, there's a term "I have a bone to pick with you" that is probably a bit more self-explanatory. Maybe it's more universal, but I'm not sure.

To have a bone to pick with someone is to have a cause for dispute with them.
This is an allusion to the kennel: two dogs and one bone invariably form a basis for a fight.

This one was in today's paper and seems challenging (to me).

I think the first one is change.

Good luck on the others.

I think the second one is patch and the third is pick.

Good luck on the final answer!

[Hud]

Well done, guys. That's as far as I've gotten and I appear to be stuck on the final.
Here's an additional clue I was given:
+change
patch+
pick+

I'm surprised the final answer eluded you Hud.

pocket

For some reason, I'm having trouble finding the answer. I'll ponder it for several more hours and see if anything crops up.

I'm becoming a reluctant expert on divorce American Style and community and sole and separate property law. It's not for me; it's for my son. It's amazing what greed does to otherwise niice seeming people. Stay tuned?
Installing doors and windows is more my cup of tea.

OK, it finally dawned on me what the answer is. One phrase is alien to me>
patch pocket

I've never heard of that one, but now I'll know. I was thinking that maybe years ago, poor people might have used a pocket from their jeans to create a patch for the knees. Now I guess they cut holes in the jeans before they sell them.

I don't understand these kinds of code puzzles, but maybe some of you might like them:

These are 5 song titles. The missing words give you the 6th song title and the artist.

• Over, under, sideways,
• the bridge
• What it is about
• Where it's
• If it don't out
  

This should be easy.
Bonus point can be earned by naming the 5 artists who performed these songs.

Under the bridge - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
