[Boo'sMom]

Men.....sheeesh...

 

[dianeschlicht]

Breezy, since you are getting breakfast could you pour me a cup of coffee? Let's see now, is that a 4 gallonn cup when you only have a 5 gallon bucket???...

 

[dianeschlicht]

On the other hand, Breezy, just make that half a 4 gallon cup!

Morning Riddlers.
Monday, math riddle, snowing outside yet again, ugh!

I want to go to bed and wake up and have it be spring

Gina, Congrats to Matt! That's awesome!
Amid, some pd for Norah, hope she feels better soon. (I think about them getting sick while they're away at school, how will they handle it without us?)
Stephanie, some pd for Meg to feel better soon!
Lars, congrats to your DS hockey victory! I had a hockey player, one of my favorite sports
Old Kicker, glad to hear that you are feeling better!!

I spent the weekend between the gym and sewing, and my surprise quilt for DD is almost complete!!

Another parent of a Matt checking in!!! Our guy got over his cold this weekend so that's good news. Congrats to all the other Matt's.....and most importantly their parents!

Stephanie - How much coffee does it take to make 4 gallons???


Time to go to work.........sigh! Have a nice day everyone.

Good Morning riddlers, and happy Monday.

Great that some people are on the mend, that the kids are doing well in sports. PD for all the little ones (and the parents who have to be home with them) who are feeling the effects of winter.

My winter effects are a little sunburn on my forehead from walk around at a huge art fair yesterday. DH bought me a print, IT's called Mickey in Daliland, the artist has a wacky sense of humor. He wanted to but one called Mickey's Day off, there was the mouse in a ball cap with no ears, a lot of stubble on his chin, and his playmate (not Minnies) dressing in the back ground. Funny, but a little to sacremickyious.

Coffee time for me, then off to work. THink I have to deal witrh a union grievance today. Sheesh, I have been waiting for them to file it for 3 weeks, they tried last Thursday, but didn't follow the rules. Very weak union here, too bad, it only hurts the people they are supposed to represent.

I'll check in later to see how I did on my guess.

 

[dianeschlicht]

Put your thinking caps on riddlers! If I got this one, I am sure the rest of you can!! Math is NOT my forte! Hope you get the clues! I am off to "do dogs" and go to Home Depot to order more slate. I think I better make January's reservations for WDW too!

Well, let's see.....there are 128 ounces in a gallon....so that is a total of 512 ounces of water...
Using the recipe of 1 tablespoon per 8 ounces of coffee, that means you need 64 tablespoons of coffee.
Since that is a lot of scooping, I would suggest you break that down to cups, and there are 16 tablespoons in a cup (right?)...so you would need 4 cups of coffee grinds to make 4 gallons of coffee.

back to your regularly scheduled riddle insanity...I need more coffee.....

Good morning everyone! Well you guys must have decided we were getting off too easy for weather this year and sent us some of your cold....cause it was MUCH colder yesterday here and is forecasted to stay that way for a few days. Thankfully no snow to really speak of - but windy and very cold - the combination of which makes the wind chill factor in the minuses.

Did alot of work outside on saturday before this cold front moved in. Glad I did not wait until Sunday because we only poked our noses outside for about a half hour yesterday and had to hurry in to warm up! Instead DH and I decided to go through all our food cupboards and clean out all the carby/sugary foods we do not eat any more and made up a nice couple of boxes to donate to our local food bank. It was a kind of fun project to do and now I have LOTS of room in the cupboards as well.

Congratulations to both Matts! It's nice to see our riddle children active and having fun!

Steph - sorry about the early morning cookie toss by your DD. I hope Meg feels better soon.

Vanessa - tell Norah she needs to get better soon... or I will make her ride the wet side of splash mountain again! Actually what would probably make her BETTER is a ride on SPACE MOUNTAIN with Dan Murphy. He had her laughing so hard everytime we rode it with him (well me too if truth be told!). Laughter definitely tends to cure what ails us.

Sorry, no coffee here. I don't drink it. Had a bowl of instant oatmeal, only 3 points. But, it did kick my brain into gear. I think I figured out the riddle. PM sent.

Good morning all!!! Hope all who are cold and tired of the snow get a change. We had about an inch last night, still way below normal, but your zero, Dbl D, is to be here tonight.

Always nice to see the kids doing well in their various activities, keep them coming. Hope Norah feels better soon, Vanessa. And Meg also, Stephanie.

We did have a few laughs, didn't we, Dbl D?!?!?!? Loved them all too.

Good morning all! I'm feeling better today, but the brain is still mushy enough that even with clues, I have no clue on the riddle.

Bernie, glad that you're felling better!

Amid, I hope that Norah feels better soon!

Steph, I certainly hope that Meg gets over that very quickly!!! Colds are bad enough, but stomach problems.....

My DS is home today with abdominal pain.

Congrats to your Matt Laura for winning his hockey game and good luck to them on the rest.

No wonder you're so proud of your Matt Gina! That is quite an accomplishment at any age never mind at his!

Congrats on 2000 posts Gail!

We had a ton of snow here over the weekend, and today it's back to the deep freeze. It's about -22ºC right now. Brrrrrr!

Morning everyone! Was a little bit puzzled at first with the riddle, but with DS's help and many finger moves, we finally got it!

Congrats to the Matts! Hope everyone feels better soon. Snow is beginning to fall here. Elaine - seems like we always get whatever you get, just a few hours later.

I have to deal with a worker's comp auditor tomorrow at work. I dread this audit every year. It is not difficult - just time consuming to get everything together. Naturally, I have waited until the last minute to get my act together. I'll be spending most of today figuring everything out.

Have a great day everyone!
