That a lot of "store brand" items are actually manufactured by "name brand" companies except WalMart. Next time you're in a WalMart pick up one of their brand items and you will see a disclaimer on the back telling you that that item was not manufactured by whatever company makes a leading brand of that product.

As far as the ABC song - I am DUMBFOUNDED. I am somewhat musically inclined (I play piano for about 30 years) and I NEVER EVER put that together and I even play BOTH songs (by ear) for my kids and never thought I was playing the same song. I am completely AMAZED right now at my stupidity.

Why did you ask this question, now I'll never get any work done trying to figure it out.

Sorry for posting the riddle! hehe I couldn't wait for the answer either, so I did some investigating. Unfortunately, it's just one of those play on words riddles. There really isn't a third word ending in gry. Here's the gist of it:

Think of words ending in "-gry". "Angry" and "hungry" are two of them. There are only three words in "the English language." What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.

Answer: "language"

 

[bigmerle1966]

All right now, cut it out! Now I won't get any work done today trying to figure that out. I'm confused.

 

[CJK]

Sorry!! I didn't mean to confuse you further.

Focus on this part of the riddle:

"There are only three words in 'the english language'. What is the third word"?

The third word in the phrase "the english language" is the word "language". The first part of the riddle having to do with words ending with "gry" are just there to throw you off what the REAL question was.

Did that explain it or did I mess you up further? eek!

 

[bigmerle1966]

Yes, thank you, now I can do some work today.

You can reuse the BBW gentle foaming hand soap dispenser by putting about one-half inch of a liquid antibacterial soap and 3/4 of the container of water in the dispenser and it will foam out the soap when pumped. Adjust the liquid soap to water ratio until it is the consistency of foam soap you desire.
