Friday's Riddle:

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.

A Pearl.

I owe some folks some YESTERPANTS! I'll be reading through my PMs and posting them in just a bit!

Morning riddlers! I could go for a massage this morning! Woke up with a stiff neck!

We are back in the deep freeze! Not too bad yet this morning, but it is supposed to go down to -15 to -20 air temps tonight! That will be the coldest of the winter! I WANT SPRING!!!

joint effort this morning...

hmm...does that mean I'm gonna owe your DH a drink too?????

 

[dianeschlicht]

Glad your feeling better, OK! Amid, will the kids have to have make up days in June? Mickey, send some of that snow this way! We are way too dry this winter! And someone, PLEASE send us some heat!!!

 

[oldkicker]

Gail - according to the web site, you can have a male of female masseuse....I just hope that guy doesn't don a frock.....

Lars - GREAT to see you back on the riddle! I hope you're all put back together now! We missed you!

Amid - I hope Norah feels better soon and I hope she doesn't have the creeping crud I had - that was NASTY stuff!!! I have a mind like a steel trap. Rusted close.

'Morning, John!

We got a dusting last night, Mickey - along with some fairly high winds! Back to freezing cold today.

Diane - I'm ready for spring - but I realize it won't come for a couple of months yet!! That little warm spell last week was really, really nice!

 

[Kitty 34]

Good morning riddlers. Hope everyone has a great week!

 

[mickey65]

I'll send you half of what we got diane...and we will both have plenty (we got 30cm)
