This old one runs forever,

but never moves at all.

He has not lungs nor throat,

but still a mighty roaring call.

Our breakfast stop today, Pinecrest Bed & Breakfast (http://www.pinecrestbb.com/index.html) in Asheville, North Carolina, is a really lovely, well-appointed home.

I'm sure you're all aware of the helicopter crash yesterday and the loss of 12 British and American lives. I certainly feel for the families of these soldiers and hope that their's are the last lives lost in the endeavor.....:(

[oldkicker]

I've checked out the NCAA pools this morning!

Man - I'm doing very BADLY!!!

Looks like we have an LK in the lead in my ESPN pool and we3luvdisney is heading up Indy's pool. Still very early though - ANYTHING can happen!

[Lars624]

Good Morning
I too am deeply saddened by the loss of life in the helicopter crash:( My heart goes out to their loved ones.

1st guess PM on it's way

[amid chaos]

Good morning early riddle risers.

Been away again, home for a good long while this time.

Need to get my NCAA butt in gear...DS will help!

Morning Everyone.
Our local newspaper indicated it was 16 soldiers???? I guess there is going to be some confusion.....

pm shortly....gotta go iron something for DH to wear to work today!!!

[oldkicker]

Enjoy the day, John! :)

Any spectacular weekend plans for anybody?

[Mackey Mouse]

Woohoo alternates for me and I will take them happily... Hope everyone has a good weekend.......so difficult with what is going on.. but we have to keep our chins up and plod forward..

It is raining and doing a little thundering and lightening here now but I will take it, better that than snow and 50 degrees.. Wow... you have to love it.. HUgs Everyone.. stay safe..

[paras4ri]

Yawn........

I woke up at about 4 and headed to the bathroom....the last thing I expected to find was Elizabeth heading to our room at the same time. We both scared each other in the hallway!!! :eek: Thunder woke her up. After we both caught our breath she joined us in our room for about 1/2 hour until she was sure the storm had passed....so naturally once we got back to sleep we overslept!!!

Not sure my brain is in gear yet for the riddle....

[dianeschlicht]

You guys get earlier every day! It is only 5:15 here, and already lots of posts! Pm sent. I feel emotionally drained after a day of news watching yesterday.

[oldkicker]

Lars - you got me laughing with your second ALTERNATE! :)

http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/dailydoublelogo.gif

[dianeschlicht]

We have had terrible weather here most of the week. It has been very foggy and wet, and yesterday we had drizzle and SNOW all day. It is in the 30's again, but today it is supposed to turn the corner, and tomorrow we are to get up to 50 again. It really looks like a mud hole out at the new house!

[oldkicker]

I was up a bit early today, Diane - figured I'd jump right in. :)

I'm sure the last thing both of you expected was to find somebody else in the hall, Gail!

Stephanie - I had originally heard (and posted) that it was 16, but all the agencies are reporting 12 this morning. I've heard that another soldier has been shot and killed this morning....:(

[Lars624]

Tonight is the Variety/Talent show for the middle school. Megan is doing 4 dances in it so we'll be spending our evening at the auditorium. My parents, DH's mother (his Dad doesn't go out much), DH's aunt, my SIL & nieces are all coming out for it:D Should be a great evening for Meg.:D
Tomorrow is DS Matt's Science Olympiad competition. He has to be at the competition by 7:15am and he competes in 4 events, astronomy, sciecne of fitness, mystery architecture & meteorology. If their team does well tomorrow we advance to the state competition. Keep your fingers crossed:D

[dianeschlicht]

Sounds like a great week for your kids, Lars! Good luck to them both.

How is Erin's skating number coming, OK?

[oldkicker]

We had steady, drenching rain yesterday. Today we are fogged in. The kids have the day off school, so no transportation worries today. Diane - I think we've got the weather you had earlier this week!

Lars - ENJOY the show and best of luck to Matt! :)

Marsha - this is such a tough time. I think we're all keeping a wary eye on the news......

[dianeschlicht]

http://www.pinecrestbb.com/images/patio.jpg
I'd like this from today's breakfast spot in my back yard!

[oldkicker]

Erin's solo is really coming together nicely. She actually has two coaches working on it with her. One for all of the technical moves and another to help her polish up her 'style'.

The group numbers are really looking good too! Katie is in a group number too. All of them are looking good!

I'll be running one of the spotlights this year - nothing better than illuminating my own little ones as they perform! :)

[oldkicker]

Diane - for another ALTERNATE! :)
http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkicker/dailydoublelogo.gif

[dianeschlicht]

I feel like you must be in a good mood today, Bernie. Didn't expect to talk you into the second alternate. That hasn't been easy to do lately!:p

[gina2000]

Good Morning, Everyone!

Whew! Everyone is up and at 'em early today! I have a few ideas on the riddle but nothing really cohesive (if a cohesive thought actually ever happens in this brain!)

I'll be at Rutgers all day starting today for a 3 day swim meet - Junior Olympics! Matt is swimming in 2 relays - one on Saturday and one on Sunday. His club sponsors the meet so we all have to put in time running it. It'll be fun.....but tiring!

Hope everyone has a good (AND DRY) weekend!

[dianeschlicht]

Good luck to Matt, Gina!

[oldkicker]

Lars!

[gina2000]

Thanks, Diane. I'll relay that (he likes the riddle so he I'm sure he'll be thrilled to hear it from you!)

It's especially sweet for him to be going to JOs because relays are chosen by coaches based on hard work. He doesn't have gold times to enter individual events but his coach wanted him to have the experience of going to JOs. Hence, his entry. He was thrilled beyond belief.

[Lars624]

ROTFLOL!!!! at the pinball machine Bernie!!!!

I got a hat trick in alternates! but I still don't have the actual answer!:rolleyes: :p

Hey......who got LPP??

[oldkicker]

Best of luck to Matt this weekend, Gina. ENJOY! :)

Good Morning Riddlers!

Hoping for a dry weekend. Would love to do yard work:D

Gina, Good Luck to Matt!! Let us know how he does!

Pm sent OK.

[oldkicker]

My PC locked up and I had to reboot! Catching up with pants - and yep - John did get the official answer! :)

[paras4ri]

Good luck to Matt in swimming and Megan in the talent show!!!

Be sure to congratulate LK when she gets here....she reached 1000 posts last night!!!

Hoping your Orangemen do well today Bernie!!!

Thanks, Lars. I just read the riddle completely through and saw your posts.

Good luck to your Science Whiz! I'll bet the Olympiad will be alot of fun (we did Family Science last night and had a ball!) It's great to see kids do something they love.....and educational!

Give Megan a big thumbs up! I sometimes wish I had a little girl so I could enjoy those recitals!

Mornin' all. I've sent my first guess, and am expecting the dreaded IHSEIM, but maybe Bernie's into alternates today ;) and I'll accept those with grace.

Good luck to Matt on the weekend. My kids used to swim and were always excited about the meets.

I've no plans for the weekend, other than planning and working out. Oh, and I'm sure arguing with the teens and 'tweens. :) Wish I were headed south, but at least it is finally spring!

Have a good weekend.

[dianeschlicht]

Gina and Lars, your posts about your kids brings to mind how nowadays kids seem to be more interested in sports than the academic sports. DS hated sports, so his letters in high school were in Math team, Knowledge Bowl, and Chess.

[Ranatra]

yeah, yeah, yeah, let's not rub it in.:teeth:

[oldkicker]

Lars! You got the official answer today too!

BIG PANTS for ya! :)

OOPS....forgot your DS Lars........hope he does well tomorrow!!!

[gina2000]

In some ways you're right, Diane. I hope my guy develops a real love of learning as he grows older. He loves being first and that's the prime motivator right now at school.....I'm hoping that changes as he sees the opportunities around him.

[oldkicker]

LOL, Sandi! :)

Debbie - I'm figuring I'll get invovled ina 'discussion' or two this weekend too! :)

Thanks for the heads up, Gail! :)

[dianeschlicht]

Congrats, Lars! I can't seem to get anything but alternates today!

Hey, Bernie....are you using the DIS to host your FPP these days.....thus the reemergence of them???

If that's so, I may have to send a smoochie to Alex......


If you guys haven't gone to take a peek....this week's is a beauty......

[The LK 4]

Morning!:wave: Thanks to all of you on RMC who stayed awake with me last night long enough for me to get to 1000. The funny thing is, when I first started DISing, I said to my family "Look at these people with thousands of posts! Don't they do anything else but post all day long?" Looks like I've joined that club!

Can you believe DH is at the top of OK's NCAA pool?:rolleyes: He can barely walk around the house his head is so big. It doesn't help that my entry is holding up the bottom...

Good luck to all of the DD's and DS's competing in their various activities this weekend! It's fun to read about the different things that everyone is involved in.

Our weekend will consist of a Bunco birthday party on Saturday and a bowling birthday party on Sunday.

[dianeschlicht]

Tasmania and all of that continent has been somewhere I have always wanted to vist. DH says AFTER he retires!

[dianeschlicht]

Laura, I had to skip our bunco night last night. They didn't have enough for 3 tables, so two of us got left out.

[The LK 4]

Diane, you should have called me. I'd travel anywhere to play bunco!

[oldkicker]

Gina today's FPP is an replay! Access to the old DIS sites is still there, I just can't add anything to them.

I tried worldzone, but I kept maxing out my transfer bandwidth. And Imagestation has been very undependable too.

I figured I'd replay a couple of my faves.... :)

[dianeschlicht]

It is such a mindless game, but gets pretty competitive between the tables! WE laugh a lot!

[oldkicker]

Gina - the DISWeb storage won't allow linking. Well, I guess it is technically possible - but part of the TOS there states that it will be monitored and linked documents will be removed....

[dianeschlicht]

I should get out of here, I have two very early grooming clients coming today, and with the wet weather, kennel clean up takes a bit longer. Have a great weekend all!

[helenabear]

Good morning all! I hope you all have a great day today!

I did hear about the helicopter last night... always so sad when someone dies :(

Lars, sounds like a busy weekend for your family!. I hope Megan has fun in the show and best of luck to Matt!!

Gina, good luck to your Matt as well! I hope the competition goes well for him :)

L4!!! So sorry I missed this last night but congrats on 1000 posts :bounce: :bounce: Wish I could have stayed up for that but given I am at work at 7 am, I did have to get off and go to bed.

I have nothing exciting planned this weekend. I think I am going to relax most of it. My friend is having a party at his house Friday so I might be off there. Usually always a fun group there!

I see my pants got to me... now I wonder what all these alternates are!!! I figured mine would not be the true answer but an alternate!

Have a great day all! :sunny:

[dianeschlicht]

LOL, Elaine! Maybe you could give a clue to some of us who only have alternates!!:p

[oldkicker]

Here's a clue from the Rhymin' game....

Meryl's Barrels! :)

[TXTIGGR]

Morning Riddlers ...

OK, I agree and hope the casualties are as few as humanly possible in this war.

My prayers and hopes go out to all our soldiers and their families who are now in harms way for a safe return.

Still no word on my mortgage loan ... anxious is not the word anymore ... but I expect an answer in the next day or two.

Sorry, busy morning ... can't stay ... have a great day all!

Enjoy the March Madness this weekend! Hook'm Horns!

[gina2000]

L4.....did you click on RMC to see how many of those 1000 are from there????

Congratulations! It's always fun to talk to friends!

right after the Pool party???? or on Saturday after the park???

[DixieDreamer]

Good morning everyone! I have already sucked down my morning coffee... and I am still "noodling" on the riddle. No great ideas yet... but I am not really running on all cylinders with this head cold AND from staying up too late watching the news coverage of the war. Having news reporters embedded in the troops makes for some very compelling coverage. I am sure a light bulb will go on eventually for me... or if not.... I may just do the Friday nakey dance!

Gina and Lars, wishing the best for both of your kids. Feel like an aunt to everyone's child here. :) Which is okay... because I am considered a "cool" aunt by all of my real niece and nephews (have 12 of them and 4 GREAT neices and nephews!).

Still under the weather. Totally lost my voice by the end of the day yesterday and my throat felt like I had swallowed cut glass. Not so sore this morning and the voice is back - but about an octave deeper than normal. I am going to squirrel away in my office today and complete some assignments that are due on Monday. Lots of hot tea, and have my office radio tuned to the NPR station to listen to news reports. Doesn't sound like too bad of a day. :)

[CynJ]

to catch everyone up on me since I have been AWOL - I quit my computer job and went back to school to do what I have wanted to do since I was 5 - become a veterinarian. So I have been working on that goal and took the position of managing a humane society to gain animal care experience for vet school.

I love the job and I learn something new everyday.

Right now I am exhausted - one of the local grocery store distributors gives us all of their "damaged goods" - which are essentially ripped bags of dog food, cat food, and kittly litter. Well they dropped off a box truck that is 25ft long and the stuff inside is packed almost 5ft high the entire length of the truck - we have spent the last three nights taping bags and lugging -its messy, tedious work and we are all exhausted. The nice thing though is that because we get so many donation outside of the damaged goods that we are able to distribute most of this to other shelters and rescue groups. It all goes to feed hungry animals!

Hey DblD! With your voice like that, maybe YOU could back up Marsha on ELVIRA! :) I hope you have a nice easy day and start recovering....:)

Am I the ONLY person who likes that????

[Boo'sMom]

okay....solemn oath from all my riddle buds....you CANNOT tell DH he earned a DD.....I'll never hear the end of it..

swear on your italian charm bracelet!!!!!!

[oldkicker]

Mmmm....I like that too, Stephanie! :)

LOL! Sounds like we have a very good riddler in the making there, Stephanie! :)

[CynJ]

ok I give up - what are LPP's??

Inquiring minds want to know....

[helenabear]

You know I had every intention of going back to work after figuring out a few alternates, but then I went downstairs to get something to drink from the cafeteria and the next thing you know, buscuits with country gravy and hasbrowns made their way up with me :p SO I figured as I'd eat I'd check in again :teeth:

Diane, I think Bernie left all his hints on his Friday's places post ;)

Rob, best of luck with the loan... the waiting is always the worst! So I hope you hear from them soon!

DD, sorry to hear you are still sick... sounded like yesterday was awful for you. I hope this weekend will let you rest up and get well :)

Cyn, what a wonderful thing you are doing right now!!! That is so wonderful!!! Best of luck to you as you go through school!

I love that hat Bernie!!! Much more proud to have that one than my "beloved" Ohio State hat (especially since they didn't make it to the play offs :rolleyes: )

Lars, no comment on your favorite teams :p

And can someone explain to me what bunco is?

Okay I am really off now!!! Work really needs to get done!

[oldkicker]

LPP = Last Post Pants. Whoever has the last post on YESTERDAY'S riddle when I check it gets these in the morning, Cyn!

Elaine - I figured you'd enjoy that hat! :) And you're right - the FPP does have a clue or two (or three or four!)

[oldkicker]

I've gotta get some work done....see you all in a little bit! :)

[Breezy_Carol]

Good morning OK and the Corral

The later I get here, the longer it takes to catch up on everything.

Gina - good luck to Matt swimming. Have fun running the meet. Our children's youth goes by so fast.

Lars - good luck to Megan and Matt. I might be upset with OK if he gave me BIG pants. What did he mean by that.

I want to play Bunko. I never have but have been assured that it would not take long to learn. I may get my neighbor or friend to teach me.

DblD - when my voice is like that, I call it my deep, sexy voice.

Stephanie - I like liver but the family doesn't so I can only get it out.

I would love to see water this color.
http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/oldkickertasmania/b2f238_thumb.jpg

DS has his first spring soccer game tomorrow. Sunday is church and jazz band practice and Youth Sunday practice.

Have a great day everyone.

[gina2000]

I love calves liver and bacon. Truthfully, I can't remember the last time I had it....

Auntie DblD! That has a nice ring to it! Are you going to take the kids to see Mickey soon??? I'm sure Matt would love to join you!

I can't swear on my Italian Charm Bracelet. I'll just do the OMERTA thing....code of silence for you, Steph....that'll do it...


Everyone, have a great weekend! AND KEEP POSTING!

[Boo'sMom]

I can't remember the last time I had it either...I'm another in the house of "you're serving what???"
Soooo...I'll probably make it for my neighbor, and take it over to him for his dinner.....the beauty will be that it will be the first thing the kids smell when they get home from school...the looks on their faces will be worth it!!!!!!

[Breezy_Carol]

DH is not a big fan of liver but did try it. Once when we were first married, he came home and said dinner smelled good. What was it? Well, it was liver, so he tried it. I think that was the last time I fixed it.

[The LK 4]

Stephanie, I'm glad I'm not the only mom who likes to mess with their kids' heads! Bwahahahhahahahaha!!!!

[DixieDreamer]

EWWWWwwwwww..... LIVER! YUCK!

Brings back horrible memories of my mother making this and FORCING me to eat it. Gag reflex kicks in just thinking about it.

[TimNDansMom]

Good Morning fellow Riddlers! :wave: Sent a PM, Bernie, but I just jumped over to your FPP looking for the clue to see if I was right and I think I will send another guess.

Best of luck to your kids Lars and Gina! It's so exciting watching them, isn't it!

Sorry you have not been well, DblD. I've noticed a lot of people around me with colds etc and, myself, have been trying to keep a scratchy throat and cough at bay for over a week now. I hope that you have a good rest this weekend and are feeling better soon.

The thought of calves liver and bacon with a few fried onions sounds really tasty, right now. I can't remember the last time I had it, either. I don't like to cook it myself, so we've always eaten it out. I'll have to put the "bug" in dh's ear as he likes it too.

Hope you hear good news about your mortgage soon, Rob!

That's a wonderful profession you've chosen to get into CynJ. I wish you the best of luck at school!

A friend and I went to see Yanni at the Air Canada Centre, in Toronto, last night. I love his music and saw him in Hamilton a few years ago, too. The concert was wonderful and he was AWSOME!!!!

Boy... don't tempt me!!! I need a trip to the magic REAL bad right now... and Lindsay would be thrilled to have a friend (cousin!) around too. :) I said though that I was a "cool" aunt... not a RICH one! :p :teeth:

[oldkicker]

We call the aunts on my side of the family anti's and on Sharon's side awnties!

Then I must be "Anti" Carol.

[love the magic]

Good Day All!

Can you believe this is my first chance to check in on the ol' riddle bunch? Sounds like there are lot's of talented DD's and DS's showing their stuff this weekend! Good luck and good times to ALL enjoying those special events with those they love!

LIVER?!?!?!:mad: no way - my mom LOVED it and just the smell of it cooking was too much for me to take as a kid....When I first joined WW (some 15 yearss ago) it was a REQUIREMENT to eat liver once a week....actually the ONLY rule I TOTALLY ignored!!!!

I think I may have the answer to todays riddle and am hoping it's not too late to get my weekend pants! :D

Maybe 150 for the RMC this weekend?

[oldkicker]

Here ya' go, LTM!

Sharon's side has the New England influence......I'm an awntie to 6 and a great-awntie to 7...all on Lew's side!!!

[Breezy_Carol]

This is the thread that never ends,
it just goes on and on my friend...

I would be an anti! Or Ant! :teeth:

[Marla Hellwig]

I am known as Auntie Marla and Kara and I both love liver and onions

[paras4ri]

Anybody ready to share what their DH/DW/BF/GF calls them?????:p

[Breezy_Carol]

:Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

[Boo'sMom]

hmmm..I see Carol bumping, but not sharing.....


What does Neil call me that I can actually put here???

Very seldom does he ever refer to me using my name....it's usually just inferred that he is talking to me......

It would be more fun to list how I refer to my kids:

Meghan is almost always "Pie-girl" Ask her and often she'll tell you that is what mommy calls her.....it's a take off of Meggie-pie which is what AJ called her for the first year.

Often AJ is either "Pumpkin Pie" or cutie patootie.

Patrick for the longest time was "Pat-rat"

there seems to be a pie theme in my house huh??

NOW i'm really going to go get that coffee

[Breezy_Carol]

And Stephanie, is there a problem with that? LOL

DH and I really don't have any pet names for each other.

I am with Stephanie that we have more nicknames for the kids. Sarah is Sarah Beara or Sasha (what her brother called her when he was little).

I call Andrew Drewdle Doodle or Ted or Tedrick(long story), none of which he will respond to now.

[The LK 4]

Sometimes we all call each other "Vern" from those Jim Varney commercials where he used to say "Know what I mean Vern?" and "Hey, Vern!".

Leah is Leah Jean, so sometimes she gets "Leah Jeanie Beanie".

[Boo'sMom]

I just caught myself calling Andrew

Andy Panda Pie...he HATES Andy Pandy.....

[Breezy_Carol]

I see Matt is not the only name that DIS kids share. Andrew is another.

[spb999]

no pet names to report that I have for others, but seeing the
Andy Pandy made me laugh 'cause when I was in college a couple of my friends called me Sandy Pandy Bear ......
spb for short !;)

[dianeschlicht]

My DS is Ryan, and we used to call him Rye guy. If you really want to make him mad now, you call him that!:p I should add that he is now 27 years old!:)

[Breezy_Carol]

I know these are all just sneaky ploys for LPP.

I doubt any of the others were, but this one is :p

[The LK 4]

:jester:

[paras4ri]

Nice try Elaine!!!!!

Lew is LJ at work because there's another Lou P. there.

Matt hates it when we call him Machoo....he was given that by an aunt long ago. He's also known as Matt-man and Myrgatroyd.

Elizabeth is ****oo or Boo, EB, EB Lynn and sometimes Matilda (because it goes with Myrgatroid.

I never had a nick-name.....somehow my name didn't lend itself to one. :(

[The LK 4]

Hmmm... Gail is begging for a nickname. She may live to regret that!

My BIL and SIL call me LJ for Laura Jean, but I forget why they started doing that.

[Breezy_Carol]

Gail could be GP, but there must be something better.

[spb999]

I think if I saw GP I'd be thinking about Goofyposter :jester:

[Breezy_Carol]

You are probably right.

[Lars624]

Good Morning!

[dianeschlicht]

Has OK posted LPP yet?

[oldkicker]

I was up early again today - Carol got LPP! :)

[dianeschlicht]

With the boards being so messed up, I must have missed that! Sorry!
