Riddle me this!

[helenabear]

Mickey, I've been told we can have 120 messages. I have squeaked a few past that and have had 123 in my boxes before, but who knows how I have done that. Did you check your sent box? All messages sent get stored there until you delete them.

Bernie, that sounds absolutely beautiful! I could just imagine how wonderful that would be to see and hear.

Marla, I do hope that Kara doesn't get hurt when she ice skates. That wouldn't be a fun way to start of the Holidays. Oh and I am sure with practice her song will be beautiful. I can only imagine what my parents went through with the three of us practicing as much as we did... I wonder if my parents needed ear plugs

Lars, that is so wonderful that your SIL & BIL are able to adopt a second child. I bet it was beautiful to see the picture.

Carol, have fun wrapping presents today. I probably ought to do that some time soon too

Work is calling my name. Have a wonderful day everyone!

mickey - be sure to check your sent box - you have to clean that out too

5 Christmas Eve Masses!!!

WOWZA!!! That's impressive! We hold two - but each of the two is a double Mass - one in the church and one in the gym. So I guess that's four all told for Christmas Eve.

Another five on Christmas Day. The late mass is not held in the gym.

Like I said, we have a very large parish....over 12,000 members!

Good Morning Everyone...

Thanks for making my excuses this morning Bernie......however, DS forgot to brush his teeth...Hahaha.....why is it 11 y.o. think that a quick swish of listerine will eliminate the need for regular brushing????

AJ still have conjuntivitis today, so no school again...it's running rampant here in school...hopefully he will be better by tomorrow, big Xmas party at school.

A host of Xmas things to get done today...hopefully, I'll "wrap" it all up today,tonight.

No clue on the riddle....but will keep looking....

They are thrilled to have the picture of her. It's difficult for them to see her & to know they won't be able to hold her until April though. Her name will be Maria Joomin. They advise you to keep their Asian name as their middle name. If anyone knows how that would be pronounced let me know.

 

[dianeschlicht]

I'm still hoping for a clue too, Boo'sMom!

 

[oldkicker]

I hope AJ is better soon, Boo'sMom!

I wasn't expecting to see you here so soon!

My wife is a dental hygienist....so the kids don't get much slack on teeth brushing. Me either!

[Boo'sMom]

well..."hover boy" is back....
Will check on everyone's progress as soon as that darn bus gets here....


Thanks A LOT For the gingerbread house idea...now I've got a silly notion that we should do that as a family Sunday since we dont' have anything else on our agenda.

DH & DS are hiking one of the Presidential's this weekend, but will be home Sunday for quality family time.

 

[oldkicker]

Another clue?!!!

Already!????


Okay....

 

[oldkicker]

Baboo!

[dianeschlicht]

I think I have to stop staring at that darn sentence for a few minutes!!!

Where is Gina for sympathy when you need her?

I finally got the trip for DS and his SO put together for the THIRD time! We are now planning on August 22-27. I have a 4 plane tickets again, so hope it works this time! Our anniversary and my birthday will fall during that time too, so we should have fun!

 

[Marla Hellwig]

Thanks for the spare pair of pants - you can never have a spare pair hanging around

 

[dianeschlicht]

I'm off to do dog chores and get some holiday baking done! Haven't even been out to the new place since Tuesday! Have a good day all!I'll come back and stare at the sentence some more later!

 

[oldkicker]

Diane - you're gonna love this one....

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

 

[DixieDreamer]

Good morning everyone!

Amid - Very fun gingerbread house! What an undertaking! I have NEVER done one of those... but I bet the decorating is fun.

Bernie - Great tradition at your parish. Enjoy your family.

Lars - Congratulations to your SIL & BIL on their impending adoption! Looking forward to a pic of little Maria Joomin.

Mickey - Sounds like you need to clean out your "sent PM's" folder. It is easy to get that filled up. Like Bernie... I have a few "keepers' - so I carefully clean out my regular inbox and then just delete EVERYTHING in the sent folder. I have to do that almost daily - and I really don't get THAT many pm's!

Diane - I have never heard of Longaberger baskets! Probably a good thing too... as I love baskets and boxes and such! I would probably have to build a huge house with beams too if I dared to become acquainted with them! LOL!

yepod - Funny story about your day yesterday! Are you sure there aren't a few beers that rolled off the truck and slid under a corner or some debris outside? I would probably spend your lunch hour today... checking it out!

Boosmom - hope that AJ is feeling better SOON.

Breezy - Enjoy your day today wrapping.... got some eggnog and good Christmas music to get you in the mood?

Paras4ri - Don't let a pantsless day set you back... I have gone a whole WEEK without pants once... scarey!

CRB - So glad to see you here! Your Christmas traditions sound wonderful.

Helenabear - Yes!! There is Saturday for Christmas shopping! I am planning on doing my last Santa shopping then too.

Marla - Enjoy the practicing... too soon those days are gone! I love to hear DD practice on the piano. I am providing her some basic instruction... but she is an avid student and practices alot on her own. DH cringes and complains abit about it... but I love it.

Snowwark - Howdy BUD! Guess what is starting to show up in the mail?! SEED & PLANT CATALOGS!!! Parks new one has some great NEW plants!

Hopefully I didn't miss anyone - but if I did - Good Morning!!!

Departmental Christmas Party today - but only after I tackle some very sticky problems this morning. I really need to simplify my life. I did manage to watch some Christmas specials last night... but unfortunately I was so tired... I fell asleep during the last 15 minutes of a 1 hour show! LOL! Me thinks I need to do some catching up on sleep.

 

[dianeschlicht]

Great curtain, OK! Glad I stuck around to see it!

 

[NancyIL]

Good morning, riddlers! Wow! Yet another one to stump me! Do these things ever get easier to figure out with practice?

Would you believe I STILL have Christmas cards to send? I already mailed the cards to relatives, complete with school pics of my youngest 2 kids. It's the old friends who may not hear from me this year. I blame it all on the Superglue that keeps my derriere stuck to the computer chair!

 

[oldkicker]

I've got some of that glue working here too, Nancy!

I don't know if they get any easier - I think that eventually you do get a kind of riddle dementia that helps you figure them out though.

Good luck today, DblD!

I knew you'd like that one, Diane.
