Riddle me this! Friday's!

[oldkicker]

There is a seven-letter word in the English language that contains ten words, all longer than one letter, without rearranging any of its letters.

What is the word and what words can be made from it?

[oldkicker]

Yesterday's:

Mrs. Jones turned to her husband and said, "I don't know what you're complaining about because if you gave me one of your parcels,
I would have twice as many as you and if I gave you just one of mine, we would have equal loads."

How many parcels were each carrying?

Mrs. Jones was carrying seven parcels and Mr. Jones was carrying five.

The saga of Mr. and Mrs. Jones continues.....;) :p :p :teeth:

I owe some YESTERPANTS for this one!

I never did post the answer to the flying animal riddle....here it is!

Which animal has no wings, yet will fly without aid of machine?

Caterpiller

I think there were several ALTERNATES proposed for this one too! :)

[Boo'sMom]

Good Morning America How are yah?

Gettting off to a great start here today. yesterpants and todaypants.

Hopefully, we're in for a nice quiet weekend. Bought the tile for the bathroom countertop last night, so that is our only project....well...that plus repainting the stairwell to the family room and having the kids paint their handprints on the walls.....and buying a new mattress for DS11, and looking at stoves (mine died..uck).
Does anyone have a radiant top oven? Do you like it?

WAKE UP EVERYONE.....coffee is on..........

[oldkicker]

Stephanie - you are FIRST in today! :)

Nice morning spot OK. I've never staying in a POLE HOUSE before, even more interesting though, is the guest "family"



The 'elusive' cassowary. But not so elusive at Licuala Lodge. We have a resident family of cassowaries. Ma, Pa and one chick. Pa looks after the chick while Ma is gallivanting in the rainforest looking for a few new mates!!


ATTA GIRL!!!!! Bet she's headed over to check out Captain Underpants and the Thongmeister

Happy Friday Riddlers!
What a beautiful beach! I bet the snorkeling is awesome!
My brother recently moved to Australia, a block from the beach, I'm really going to have to pop in on him some day!:teeth:


Need some coffee to work on this riddle.

[oldkicker]

LOL! We had the place all o ourselves for a bit there, Steph! :)

'Morning, Sandi! :) I'd LOVE to go to Australia! You should look your brother up!

[Lars624]

Good Morning Bernie!

Hi Steph!

Happy Friday to all of the Riddlers!

I'm still trying to finish my 1st cup of coffee & pry my eyes open......I'll need a minute or two for the riddle.........

thanks for the lack of math!!!:D

[Marla Hellwig]

Oh oh oh - I know this one - pm on the way:D

[dianeschlicht]

LOL, I was still catching up with yesterday's riddle! Now you certainly don't expect me to think this much on today's, do you?

[amid chaos]

Good morning friends....

steph, did your dog come home?

Norah is home again today...missed a whole week of school. I certainly hope the rest of us dont get it.

[mickey65]

:wave:


If you have some spare PD and prayers, we need them at our school. At lunch recess yesterday one of the kids was badly hurt. I was on duty, but was dealing with a behaviour. The intermediate kids were jumping off the snow hill, and one of the boys decided to try a flip. Well, he landed on his head with his neck bent. By the time I got to him, he could not move at all, or feel his legs. We had to call an ambulance, and there is a possibility that his neck is broken

:( If you are so inclined can you please send some good thoughts his way. thanks.

[yepod]

Good morning to all the riddle groupies!

Gee Bernie, first the daily riddle, then RMC, @ now the overnight riddle threads are back:rolleyes: :rolleyes: ;)

[gina2000]

My goodness....we have a bunch of HOOT OWLS here today!!!!

LOL LOL LOL LOL

Forgive me....my funny bone is acting up today!

I have no clue on the riddle.

I think I would very much enjoy visiting Australia. Perhaps a meet??? :)

That's terrible! How old is this child? I will say a prayer for him and hope there is no permanent damage.

Gina, Love that idea! I'll see if my brother is up some company:teeth:

[love the magic]

Congrats on being NUMBER ONE today Stephanie!

Mickey - I'll be sure to send some positive thoughts and prayers your way...

STILL waiting (or not) for this week's snow! Maybe we'll get LUCKY here (we HAVE to be luckier than the JONES'!)!

Have a great day all....PM to follow shortly, as this is a non-math choice...I may need a few more minutes to work on this one!:D

Ya' know - the MATH/NON-MATH voting was very, very close! I guess we'll just have to keep having some math and some non-math riddles! :)

Marla - I finished up delivering my GS cookies at work on Wednesday. Now to collect the money.....:rolleyes:

Gina - I LOVE it when my funny bone acts up. Yours too! :)

[dianeschlicht]

Oh, Mickey, how awful! Prayers and PD for this young one.

I asked for a hint, but got the answer before the hint, so waiting for pants now.

We had a high of 38 yesterday!:bounce: Supposed to get up to 35 again today! DH is working out at the house all day today. He is trying to get all the wires pulled before the end of the weekend. They put most of the basement stairs in yesterday. It took them quite awhile to cut the hole to the basement.

[paras4ri]

Oh Mickey, I hope he's OK!!!!

Who's delivering MY GS cookies?????
:(

[gina2000]

Mickey....what an absolutely terrible accident. I hope that the child is stabilized and his neck is not broken. We had something similar happen to a good friend of Matt's after the last snowstorm....luckily no permanent injury.



Bernie, when YOUR funny bone acts up......I roar! :p


Hey....does anyone remember Funny Bones....didn't they have peanut butter in them???

Maybe we should turn this into junk food Friday.....name all the absolutely disgustingly wonderful junk food you ate as a kid!


DEVIL DOGS!!!!! Couldn't live without them!

[Boo'sMom]

Oh Mickey...sorry to hear about that young man....positive thoughts for him and his family.

AC--yes the pup did return...I don't think she is ever going out again though..LOL...


Morning John...nice to see you today!

Gina....funny bone huh? what's that connected to???

[Lars624]

mickey65-I will keep that child in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us updated about his progress. I always worry when I'm working & have to take the kids out on the playground especially while it's icy.

[oldkicker]

Diane - it has really been neat watching the progress of your new home. Thanks for posting those pics and for the explanations.

Enjoy that heat wave! :)

How about PIXIE STICKS! Pure sugar! BOTTLE CAPS!

We had a lot of penny candy stores around when I was a kid...

dots, pixie sticks, red hot dollars, caramels, wax lips.

I was a big fan of hostess cupcakes too. :)

[yepod]

In response to Gina's comment earlier, (I don't know if this would be considered 'junk' food LOL)

http://bertc.com/images/owl2a.gif

1 Good sized cooked hoot owl, boned and chopped
1 Stalk celery, diced
1 Onion, chopped
1 tb Oil
10 oz Package frozen broccoli, cooked and drained
1 c Sour cream
10 1/2 oz Can cream of hoot owl soup
Salt and pepper to taste
Warm tortillas
1 1/2 c Hoot owl broth
1 c Grated rat cheese

Mix the chopped owl, celery, onion, oil, cooked broccoli, sour cream, hoot owl soup, salt, and pepper together. Then you let them sit while you and the boys play "Never beat your Mother with a Great Big Stick." Be sure you don't play more than 6 choruses. Roll all of this stuff into the warm tortillas and place them in a baking dish. Then pour the hoot owl broth over them. You cook all of this stuff in a 325F oven for 20 minutes, or 3 choruses of "Dirty Me, Dirty Me, Oh How I Hate Myself." Make sure the onions are done. Then the last 5 minutes of cooking, place the grated rat cheese on top. Dish out the warm tortillas and hot sauce. Now then, if the moon is in the "getgone" and the wind blows in snuffs, there ain't goin' to be no hoot owls. In that case, you get Ernest T. Bass to steal you a good sized chicken and ya put that in instead. If you do that, while the chicken is cookin' you get the boys and play 6 choruses of "Don't Dance on the Table Charlene You Stepped in My Collard Greens." Serves 6.

I just bought DH some Bottle Caps for Valentines Day. There is a little candy store in my town called 'Candyland' that sells a lot of the old candy I remember:D The have those little wax bottles too:p

[dianeschlicht]

My favorite junk food as a kid was popsicles and licorice. LOL! THey still are!:p

[Breezy_Carol]

AAARRRGGGHHHHH

School is closed again today. Of the 4 Fridays in February, we have only had school on Feb 7 and all weekend activities were cancelled anyway.

As of first reading, I don't know thw riddle answer. Just wanted to pop in to whine. Now I will go read the riddle. Be back in a jif.

[Ranatra]

Snowballs were my favorite!:D

http://sandirob.homestead.com/files/tasty_kake_snowballs.jpg

[gina2000]

Weren't penny candy stores the greatest??? Go in with a couple of pennies and chose to your heart's content!

I was always amazed at that.

Sometimes older is better.....;)


Oh....I loved icicles that were long....encased in plastic....blue ones.....they said they tasted like blueberry.....but who could tell....just push up the ice from the bottom and slurp!!!!

[Lars624]

1 c Grated rat cheese
What is Rat Cheese???? No nevermind.....I don't think I want to know.......:eek:

[yepod]

My dad ran a 'dime store' when I was a kid, & I remember Ice Cubes (melt in your mouth!), Root beer barrels & Michigan Mints!

[yepod]

Sandi, ummmmmmmm snow balls!!!! My favorite too!

Laura, I prints em like I see's um:p :p ;)

I remember the ice cubes & root beer barrels but what were Michigan Mints??

[dianeschlicht]

LOL, Yepod, that OWL is not junk food! That is ROAD KILL!!

[oldkicker]

BROCCOLI!!!!????!?!!?!?!


YECH!!!


LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! :p :p :p :p

[gina2000]

John.....your moon is ALWAYS in the getgone!

But that doesn't mean you ain't a hoot!!!!


:p :p :p :p



Oh, Sandi....I just KNEW SOMEONE had Tastycakes as a kid! I know they were east coast.....but I was hoping!

http://www2.tastykake.com/SiteData/Docs/photo_juniors.jpg

Juniors
There’s nothing pint-size about our Chocolate, Coconut and Koffee Kake Juniors. These large, rectangular cakes, baked with only the finest ingredients, are packed with flavor, yet have a light, fresh taste. Served at breakfast, lunch or dinner, or at night with coffee or tea, Juniors compliment any snacking occasion.

[yepod]

Diane, there is a difference between road kill & good ole down home cookin:p :p ;)

Laura, the mints were translucent ice blue, about 1/2" square, cellophane wrapped & very, VERY mint flavored:D

[oldkicker]

LPP! :)

Good morning Oldkicker and riddle friends! :)

Mickey, I hope that poor little boy is okay. :(

I never heard of half of the junk food you guys have mentioned. Up here we spent a lot of time gnawing on whale blubber.

No idea on the riddle, as per usual! :)

Off to find me a Hoot Owl for din din! ;) :)

[dianeschlicht]

LOL, now both yesterday's riddle and today's have more than four pages! I had trouble knowing which one to open!

[gina2000]

OMG! KIM!!!!


LOL LOL LOL LOL


Uh.....is that the dinner I'M invited to????

[love the magic]

http://www.peppermintpalace.com/newCandy/maryjane.jpg

There MUST have been SOME nutritional value...peanut butter? :D

[oldkicker]

Sis! You guys have had more snow days than we've had this year!

Hey Kim - did everyone in Canada munch on that or just the kids at Nanook High? ;) :p :p

[paras4ri]

My aunt had a penny candy store and I "worked" there from the time I could see over the counter!!! Along with the things already mentioned she also sold squirrel nuts, hot balls, candy ciggarettes (:eek: ), silver dollars, red and black licorice......I'm getting hungry!

My absolute favorite was cheese popcorn........not the gourmet kind sold today.....the stuff that was so orange it stained your fingers!!!

[oldkicker]

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain...

http://www.vitafutura.com/Curtains/schid500.JPG

[dianeschlicht]

Hey, Bern, our radio station announced yesterday that you guys in Syracuse have had 134 inches of snow this year, and we have had only 21! It is nice to be on the short end of THAT stick!

[love the magic]

Soon, if we keep up at THIS pace, figuring out what riddle page we're actually POSTING to may become more difficult than figuring out the RIDDLE itSELF!!!!

Do you think this dilemma would be best solved by a left brain or a right brained riddler?!?!?

:D

[yepod]

Bernie, are you trying to close your thread:confused: :mad: :confused: :mad: ;)

Kim, you killed whales:confused: :( :eek: :( :eek: ;)

The horror:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

[dianeschlicht]

Is that watery shower curtain a precursor of the floods to come in the spring?!?

[Breezy_Carol]

Good morning OK and the Corral

Mickey, more good wishes for that child's recovery.

Vanessa, what did Norah have? Sounds like she was one sick young lady.

I am still waiting for GS cookies to be delivered. We ordered but I haven't seen them yet.

I did, and still, like Tastykakes, especially Snowballs and Chocolate Junior. Snowballs were great the way they had the different colors for differnt times of year. Right about now the green ones should come out for St. Patrick's Day. I don't indulge anymore though.

I also liked jawbreakers and fireballs. We stopped at a pharmacy on the way home from school that sold them. Then we knew 2 more shops on the way home where we could stop to get drinks of water because our mouths were on fire from the fireballs.

I still don't know the riddle answer, but that is not really the issue here, is it??

[gina2000]

There was a riddle today?????? :p :p :p ;) ;) ;) :p


Hey, Breezy....I was looking at the chat thread....nice pics....I can see you've honed your skills at uploading and picture sharing!

[yepod]

Crud, now I have to go visit yet another thread.....

Rat cheese with my whine please:p :D

[Lars624]

I also really enjoyed the watermelon flavored Jolly Rancher sticks. They were about 5 inches long & they were flat.

[dianeschlicht]

ANything Jolly Rancher is great!

[Breezy_Carol]

Hey Bro, how about adding into the titile of yesterday's riddle something about "As the Riddler Turns", so we know which is which.

Good morning all!!! I am very happy to say that the best thing about the day is that we got NO SNOW!!!! (that I could see) last night :bounce: I am so very happy!!! I just hope the second storm coming our way misses us too :)

I hope that Norah is feeling better soon, Vanessa. That poor girl has been sick quite a while

Mickey, that is terrible. My prayers are with this boy and his family right now. I hope that you can have a good update for us soon.

Bernie, I want a recount on that math voting ;) :p

Okay, you all are making me hungry!!!! I loved any of those mentioned that didn't have coconut in it. I will admit though, that to this day besides Twinkees, the Orange flavored hostess cupcakes are my downfall. I used to be allergic to chocolate so I had to switch to another flavor. Man were those good!!!

I think I know the riddle today... I just have to count out the words. Have a great day all!!!

[dianeschlicht]

Hey Bro, how about adding into the titile of yesterday's riddle something about "As the Riddler Turns", so we know which is which.

Great pics, Sis! :)

Riddlemeister TWISTER!!!! Now there's an interesting idea!!!!! LOL! LOL! :p :p

Amid - I hope Norah is okay.....

134 inches it is, Diane. They updated the total yesterday. That's 11 feet, 2 inches of it. We've had worst winters...the record snowfall was just over 192 inches, in '92/'93! 16 feet of snow!!

LTM - I think either brain side will work today.....or neither!!! LOL! :p :p

[Jiminy102]

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Friday!!!

[Marla Hellwig]

Another weakness of mine - well besides mickey bars - are the covered covered marshmellows

[gina2000]

We've had 50 inches of snow....and I thought THAT was unbearable.

I know I made a good choice of location when I decided Syracuse was NOT a place I wanted to be!

:)

[oldkicker]

Just got a call from Erin....she's in the nurses office with a 102 degree fever....

Off I go to get her...


Have a WONDERFUL day all!

Thanks for all the laughs this morning! :)

[spb999]

Good mornng everyone ....

Got a little confused w/ yesterday's riddle still on page 1 :jester:

No answer yet, I'll have to think on it but how about

Candy necklaces
Swedish Fish
wax lips
pop rocks
loved those red hot dollars, OK !
Still like pixie sticks ..... they had that same sugar high in liquid form that came in wax bottle shapes too !

Favorite salty snack to this day is Cheez-its !

Mickey, good thoughts and prayers go out to the injured student and for all who care for him !!


Happy Friday riddlers !

[DixieDreamer]

Good morning everyone! :wave:

Mickey - My heart just sank when I read your post about the little boy that was injured. Just a moment of goofing around. :( Definitely sending thoughts, prayers, and a lot of pixie dust his way.

Amid - sorry Norah is STILL not feeling well. She must have really been bitten by a virus bug. I hope she is better very soon.

JUNK FOOD - I remember riding my bike to a local icecreamery on summer afternoons with my friends. It had great oldfashioned ice cream floats etc... but they also had a candy wall that was filled with oldfashioned candy that you could purchase for a nickel (it was penny candy with inflation!). :) Some of my favorites: :teeth:

ATOMIC FIREBALLS
BOSTON BEANS
MARY JANES
HUBBA BUBBA BUBBLE GUM

[mickeyfan1]

Mickey, I hope that boy is ok, I can only imagine how guilty the other kids will feel if he ends up being paralized. Lots of good thoughts going out to you.

Dianne, come do my dogs, they need something!

Stephanie - I have a Ceran top stove. (I take it yours is electric.) I wanted it because it is easier to keep clean. It gets much hotter faster than the regular stove. But nothing falls in the burners. You get a special cleaner for it, when something spills. If it gets really bad, you use a razor scraper to get the gunk off. I would prefer gas, but we don't have that option. The biggest draw back is forgetting the burner area is hot, and setting something on it, like plastic. Yuk, but there is a little picture with red lights to remind you. Of course that means looking!

Today is the big day at work. But I already know that I am safe from lay off. My boss informed me yesterday that she has a lot more work for me, since some of my work went away earlier in the year with our reorganization. Guess I have to stick it our a while longer. Only 5 years till 55, then I am retiring! You'd think they wouldn't mind letting me go after almost 32 years. Ah well, I get 42 days vacation, and make really good salary, I get to go to Disney 2 or more times a year, I guess it's not all bad, NOT LIKE THIS RIDDLE!!!!!!!!!! I was too distracted to do math yesterday, and I really hate English! I'll give it a shot later.

Enjoy your Friday. DH is not working tomorrow, the first Saturday he has had off since October. We are going paint shopping for our guest room, he may put new floors in our bathrooms, gotten weed the vacant lot (part of our back yard) I won't know how to actg with him home 2 days in a row. Maybe we'll even..................

[Breezy_Carol]

This is the RIDDLE thread, right? I have so many riddle associated threads open right now that I get confused. And there haven't been that many pants this morning.

With the help of 2 friends and the dictionary, I got it. PM sent.

Bro, hope Erin feels better.

[The LK 4]

Morning everyone! Being that I was one of the few who voted for math riddles :rolleyes: I think I will be pantless for a while today.

Amid and OK - hope your DD's are feeling better soon.

Mickey - please update us on his condition soon. What an awful thing to go through.

Gail - I love Snyder's of Berlin cheese popcorn. It is my absolute favorite snack in the whole world. The only bad thing is trying to hide my orange fingers after I've eaten the whole bag! I also love the candy dots on paper. We have an old-fashioned penny candy store here in Cranberry. It's been around for ages. They even add everything up on an old-fashioned cash register. The kids love to go there.

[love the magic]

Actually, based on what most of us ate as kids, we might have to rename this :

Everyone have a great weekend, stay warm and safe. :wave:

Dan :sunny:

[Boo'sMom]

Much to my DS11 chagrin, the following were actually around way back when we lived in a cave:


boston baked beans
GIANT pixie stix
candy cigarettes (what were they thinking??)
bubble gum cigarettes (ditto)
bottle caps (rootbeer were my favorite)
toasted coconut marshmallows
and anything with FLUFF...

[The LK 4]

PM is on its way. Needed some help today!

They still make the candy cigarettes:eek: Last weekend at one of the ice rinks DS7 did one of the candy machine things with the "grabby arm claw" and in with his other stuff there was a small pack of them.

Morning Riddlers ... :D

Well, so far so good:
- appraisal has been ordered/done
- title search is underway,
- mortgage documents being prepared.

With any luck I will be able to close on Mar. 30th.

It's been a crazy week with work, plus I've been dropping Kasie
off at daycare everyday, so I get into work late and don't
have much time to check the riddle.

Well, next week will be better.

Hope all is well in your piece of the world.
Have a great weekend!
- Rob
:D :D :D

[The LK 4]

Hiya Rob!:wave: I hope everything goes smoothly for your closing!

[DixieDreamer]

Howdy Rob! Glad that the closing process is proceeding forward. Hopefully the March 30th date will come and all this extra stress will be behind you. :)

[Lars624]

I'm glad things are going smoothly Rob!

We used to use neccos at altar boy practice!!

...and then there was that rumor about Mikey from the Life cereal commercials...he was eating candy rocks and drinking Pepsi and his stomach exploded!:eek:

[oldkicker]

Ewww....Hey Mikey, Hey Mikey.......

Chip - I can see you are enjoying this one!

Here's a bunch of pants for your answers so far!

[love the magic]

Wow....I remember that rumor!

But let's be careful....sounds WAY to much like a beginning of yet again another STORYLINE as went the way of YESTERDAY's Jones' riddle!!!!!!!!:eek:

[Lars624]

Does anyone remember 'Zots'?

[oldkicker]

Keep 'em coming, Heather! :)

I don't think I ever had a ZOT, Laura!

I do remember when SweeTTarts were brand-new though! :)

[oldkicker]

An EXPLODING MIKEY storyline....:eek:

[oldkicker]

My Dad took us to the ben Franklin - a five and dime store - after church on Sundays. They had a penny-candy counter. We'd each get a quarter and come out of there with a bag FULL of stuff!

Back then, some of the stuff was 2 for a penny! :eek:



Chip - I know you'll get it eventually! :)

Poor innocent, unsuspecting, little Mikey sits down for his favorite breakfast of Life cereal. Little did he know that his evil older brothers had switched his Life cereal for a bowl of pop rocks and Pepsi! As Mikey begins to lift the spoon to his mouth...

[TimNDansMom]

Good Afternoon all! Sunny here today, but I wish it would warm up enough to melt more of the snow. I can't see traffic coming very well when I back out of my driveway. That's the trouble with a double driveway ~ more snow=bigger piles.

I haven't had much time to spend on the riddles lately, if the answers haven't jumped out at me. I'm knee deep in paperwork trying to make sure things are organized before our trip next week, since Dan and Tim aren't going with us. I thought it would be less work, but it's turning out to be more!

I'm so sorry to hear about the student, Mickey. I hope it's not as bad as it sounds.

Hope Nora and Erin are feeling better soon. I have Dan home today.

So far I am still clueless on today's riddle.

Have a great afternoon and weekend everyone! :sunny:

[Breezy_Carol]

I remember FIZZIES. I used to like to put them on my tongue.

[love the magic]

fizzies.....I used to put them in WATER and make FLAVORED SUGAR WATER!!!! Anything to take the "good" out of something "good for me"!!!:D

Those were the days!

[oldkicker]

"Official" Pants, Heather! :)

<marquee direction="right">http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/sartpants.gif</marquee>

[oldkicker]

You could work up a pretty good lather with fizzies!!!

Good afternnon, Julie! Ah - to have a WDW trip upcoming....:)
I hope Dan feels better!

[December99]

Hello all!!!!! I haven't been in a riddling kinda mood this week and I have been extremely busy at work so have had little time to get on the riddle but wanted to pop in and say - HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!! And......

Bernie - THE TIARA LOOKS SUPERB ON YOU!!!!!! ;) ;) ;) <i>(99 hopes Bernie knows she is talking about and is sure he does!!!)</i> I am serious now!!!!!!

Hope everyone had a good week and has an extra great weekend....few more weeks and hopefully spring will be here!!!!! It's always a good sign when March gets here!

[oldkicker]

LOL, Chris! I was just made to wear one. :)

Thanks for popping in and have a GREAT weekend! :)

HELLO! :)

I hope you all are back to warm and sunny today! :)

Gina -

made to wear one - I have just the posture, disposition and regal bearing....;)

[paras4ri]

I never had a tiara.......I'm jealous!!!

[gina2000]

Gail....Bernie has a ready supply of tiaras! He whips them out whenever the occasion calls for it....:p :p :p

Snoops got a blue sapphire one to match her eyes at tea.

I got....hmmmm....was it the pink tourmaline or the purple amethyst one.....help me, Bernie!

We were both ladies in waiting to the BIG CHEESE!!!!

[mickey65]

Thank you all for your paryers and good thoughts for the student at my school. He is still in the hospital and not able to feel his legs, but the good news is that there is nothing in the back or neck broken. Not sure why he has no movemment or feeling in his legs yet. He did damage his kidneys badly though, and the doctors are very concerned about this. I will let you know if I hear more. Again thank you for all the support and prayers.

[gina2000]

Valerie....I'm sure everyone here will be thinking of this little boy all weekend..and hoping for a complete recovery.

This type of tragedy really makes you stop and remember how precious life really is.

[Lars624]

I have a very silly group of close girlfriends & when we get together to celebrate something we all wear tiaras:D As each member of the group turns 40 the younger gals get to decorate her tiara. So far only 2 have hit 40 but we decorated their tiaras with tacky hot pink feathers and other equally revolting things!:p :p

[paras4ri]

mickey65 - thanks for the update, I've been wondering how he was doing. Although his neck and back are undamaged it sounds like he still has a way to go. Please keep us posted.

I'm still jealous of you tiara people!!
L6, your group of friends sounds like lots of fun. I have 2 close friends from college days and we get the families together whenever time allows. We're all past 40.....and some DH's are approaching 50.....we've been kicking around the idea of a joint cruise to celebrate the half-century mark for everyone. That's several years off but fun to think about!

Guess I'll just keep wishing on a star that someday I'll get a tiara of my own!!!

[mickeyfan1]

I bought 4 off the Disney Auction website, and then I saw them at the DS really cheap after Christmas. They are the princess ones, but Oriental Trading has some very nice ones (Solid White Gold with many diamonds!!!!) that are about 8 bucks. If you really want one. I missed Bernie in his, I did see the pictures tho! What a cool guy our riddlemeister is. Always willing to have fun with the girls at tea.

I finally sent in my PM, late in the pm.....

[Lars624]

Gail-Maybe we should see if we can find some lime green tiaras for Riddle-con evening wear:teeth:
It could be our uniform.............thongs for the men...tiaras for us:p

[oldkicker]

Marsha!

[oldkicker]

Gina - I wore the purple and you had the pink. Doncha remember? They matched our eyes! :)

Mickey - thanks for the update. I'll be keeping YOU ALL in my thoughts.

Lars - wait a minute.....guys in thongs and gals in tiaras???? I'd just as soon wear BOTH, ya know??? :p :p :p :p

Marsha - I figured if you're gonna do High Tea - you might as well dress for it! :)

I think we ALL should some sort of "headpiece" at RiddleCon...and I do have to say - OK looked gorgeous in his tiara as did all the ladies!!!! (I was actually proud to see he wasn't TOO much of a man to wear it!!! ;) ;) ;) )

I just finished watching the video from DISCon and what a riot of some of the things I missed.....but I was very glad to have the ones from here that I have met...it was a blast!!! I can't wait to see you all in August!!!!

[Breezy_Carol]

I think tiaras for DIPP would be lovely.

[paras4ri]

Will someone be so kind as to share a picture of OK in his tiara???

[Breezy_Carol]

Good idea Gail. I would like to see that also.

[mickeyfan1]

ALthough I am not sure if I can find it, I shall endevor to get that picture from the discon threads. If I find it, I'll come back and edit this with a link.

Gail! You are too fast!!!!! Gotta love that riddlemeister.

[Breezy_Carol]

Geesh, be very afraid at RiddleCon. Anything we do may end up in pictures here.

[DixieDreamer]

Thanks for bringing that post up Gail... I needed a little lift today... and HONESTLY this was the most fun I have ever had at WDW... was spending it with the great people of the DIS. I was laughing so hard the whole time... that my cheeks (not the one's yepod displays so much!) hurt for a week after I got home. :teeth:

Looking at my December picture post... just made me smile from ear to ear. I want to do it again - NOW!!!

[Lars624]

Wow Bernie you look very macho in your tiara:D :p ;) :p

[oldkicker]

*EEK* What a picture, eh??

I must say - tea was A LOT of fun! I highly recommend it. :)

[Debbie]

Happy Saturday!

Well, I finally got back to this one, and figured out why y'all are remembering the good old days-although a lot of those things my kids love for treats. We can get decent deals on Pixie Stix and candy necklaces at the local candy/cookie factory. And my 11 yo's teacher gives them a Pixie stick when they show her something limegreen Do you think she's a closet DIS'er??

Mickey, I'm keeping that youngster in my prayers; you, too, since I know how it feels for someone to get hurt when you are the one on duty. Kids don't realize how easily things can go wrong!

Hugs to all the ones who haven't been feeling well-Norah and Erin. And, finally, thanks for the pic of Bernie. I hadn't seen one before in my quick jumps in and out of the site. OK, it's YOU! :D

Have a great weekend!

[oldkicker]

Thanks DD! No tiara, and no hat either! It's neat to put faces to names on a screen.

And, yep, after figuring that I had it all sewed up. . . .the dreaded IHSEIM!!!

NOW, I have to go back and see if I can find any real clues! :jester:
