Riddle me this!

[oldkicker]

My host thinks I'm an irritation, a bother, a pain.

But he can't evict me, so here I will remain.

Then one day I'm taken and ranked among my peers.

Can you guess just what I am? Then you might call me dear.

Yesterday's:

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!

The letter "e", which is the most common letter in the English language, does not appear once in the long paragraph.

I have quite a few PMs to catch up on from yesterday. I think I owe some folks some YESTERPANTS! I'll catch up presently!

Hope you all are looking forward to the weekend! I know I am!

Grand Turk! I'm ready! It's warmer here this last day or so....but we are expecting torrential rain on top of all that lovely snow.....I guess it will be snow soup in the basement! Ah, well....

GOOD MORNING OK AND THE WHOLE CORRAL

Yesterday's riddle totally lost me, not feeling a whole lot more hopeful so far this morning. Be back later.

 

[dianeschlicht]

We had 45 degrees yesterday!! Yes, it looked like snow soup here too! Now tonight it is supposed to get cold again, and by Sunday it will again be below zero!

 

[Ranatra]

Happy Friday!!

Good morning....yeast infection popped into my head as an answer....but I suppose that's a IHSEIM.

Breakfast on Turk....nothing could be better.

Today is Science fair recovery day so I have all three home from school.

I hope everyone has a great day.

 

[dianeschlicht]

Bern wasn't kidding when he said he would be slow this morning! I have sent 2 pms aready and still don't have an answer from him. Drink lots of fluids, OK and tank up on orange juice. Aren't you telecommuting this week?

 

[Snowwark]

A yeast infection, Amid!!!!!! LOL!

Another balmy day here today, but by next week, back to the big chill!

 

[Kitty 34]

Good morning riddlers!! I hope everyone has a great weekend.

BTW, the DIS didn't recognize me today....I actually had to log in this morning!! Anyone else have this problem??


Sure hope you're feeling better soon Bernie!!

 

[dianeschlicht]

I had to log in one day last week. I thought maybe it had something to do with the revamp they did on the boards, but it hasn't happened since.
