Well, I am here, at least for now. The computer has not died, but is critical. The CD door won't open. And, it has been acting strange. I am hoping to get through most of the riddle before I take it to the computer hospital later today. Must get it fixed before school starts.
NOW, on with the riddle.
My thunder comes before my lightning.
My lightning comes before my rain.
My rain dries up all the land it touches.
What am I?

Well, I am back.
It is very humid here today. I was awake at 4AM and thought I would look for the meteor shower but the sky was overcast so no stars at all could be seen. Too bad.
So, do we need a coffee IV to get this place going?

Good morning, pals! Haven't a clue on today's riddle.
Carol, were you in Ocean City or Rehobeth? We are heading to Rehobeth tomorrow night for two weeks. I'm just praying that we get a little relief from this humid weather, otherwise we will probably spend most of our vacation in the pool.
Oh, yesterday's riddle and answer was:
What do the following words have in common: bass, bow, do, lead, read, row, sow, tear and wound?
They are all words whose meanings change according to the way they are pronounced.
Let me go put on my thinking cap on today's riddle. That and go find my Queen CD, Gina has me in the mood for listening to Freddie Mercury belt out a few tunes. :)

Morning everyone! Hope you all have a great day! I get to go cuddle my new baby niece. Poor little thing is still nameless so we need to light a fire under her parents.

How lucky, Kejoda! I would love to have a niece, grandchild, etc. to cuddle. Doesn't look like that will be happening anytime soon though! DH says we wont be grandparents until we are dead!!!:o
morning riddle buddies...ok, I need a riddle that the answer just pops right out at you!!!
Come on guys...I am getting paranoid here... ;)
Ok, will think on this one....wanted to say hi to everyone!!!

08-13-2002, 07:08 AM
whew. I am home again. Kids at band camp until 5, DH at work until 5:30. Now I have about an hour before I have to go out to work for a bit.
Snoopy, when we go to the beach for our week, we go to the Outer Banks in NC. Before the kids had such an active social life, we would go to Cape Henlopen State Park for the day then go to the Rehobeth Boardwalk for the rides and pizza at Grotto's before driving home. It is only a 2 hour drive. Have fun the next 2 weeks. I always liked it there.

late start again for me today..hehe..love laying around in bed in the morning. Since DH leaves for work early, I get the whole bed!
DS is packing...leaving with grandma in the morning to go to NJ for a week. For now I am entertaining MIL, controlling SIL and 2 nieces...
Unsure of the riddle today...nothng unusual though.
have a great day everyone.
Hi Vanessa...isn't it cool to get the bed all to yourself....lol
Snoopy have a great time..relax and enjoy!!!!
Ok, someone (yepod) has taken pity on me.....so guess is on the way....lol

Glo, you weren't supposed to rat me out:(
I'm getting a rep of being the hint giver here:rolleyes: ;)
I only give hints to my fellow riddle groupies (I mean friends;) ) who have helped me when I was scared of the dreaded Pity Pants ;) ;)

Good morning Riddlers! Moving slow and late today. Sent a PM with my guess - but wouldn't be suprised if the Carol has "something else in mind". :rolleyes: :D :p
Fair week starts today. DD entered her girl scout craft project yesterday - so she is anxious to get back out there and see how it did in the judging last night.
Hope everyone has a good day ahead of them.

I have to go out and see 2 patients. I will check back around 11. And for those of you who haven't figured out the riddle yet, I will
blow my top if you don't get the answer.
Yes, that was a clue.

Hello everyone! I hope everyones summer has been wonderful!
Just popping in to see some much missed riddlers and the meister d'jour ;)
Snoopy, I just got back from Cape May and the weather near the beach is much nicer than inland. You'll have a wonderful time. I always loved Rehobeth. :D

Good morning all! My cold befuddled brain had no idea what the answer was today, but thanks to a couple of good clues I've sent a pm. I'll probably have to wait until I get home from work to get my pants though.
Cbr it's great to see you again and congrats on hitting 500 posts!
Have a great trip Snoopy. Maybe a few days at the beach would help get rid of this danged cold I have, but that's not going to happen for me.
Have a great day everyone!

Well it has been awhile since anyone posted so I am going to disconnect the computer and take it to the shop for repair. I hope to be back online ASAP. You know, withdrawal and all.
Hopefully, one of the regulars will step forward to finish out today and give out pants. Sorry I had to bale on you.
See you soon. It is so sad to say good bye.
ok, guys....if you try the answer now, please send them to me...yeah I know...but tough...you are stuck with me... ;)

Just popped in to say "Good Afternoon Riddle Friends". We've been having "computer free" days in our house so I haven't been DISing as much. Lot less arguments about whose turn it is! About 2 1/2 weeks 'til school starts! :bounce:
Another hot and humid one here today and just had a thunderstorm. Sort of goes with today's riddle. Sending a PM, Glo.
Hope your cold has cleared up before the PCW meet, Kathy and that no one else in your family catches it! :(
Congratulations of 500 posts, CRB! :)
Have a great day everyone! :sunny:
