Riddle me this!

[dianeschlicht]

The shrimp are raw and peeled and marinated in a little olive oil before skewering. The shrimp have to be made on their own skewers without veggies, because they cook too fast. I usually put a few lemon slices on the skewer with them.

Good morning, all. PM sent.

Gotta hate when the shrimp are MAD Diane - I know they get really pissed when you put the blade through them!

Just a quick stop in before I head back to Toronto. My mom is improving, still in the ICU step down but showing some improvements. I have been home for the past few days beause of my dental surgery. The mouth is still pretty swollen, but it is starting to feel better, so I figure I can head down to see my mom again.

Good luck on the evaluation Bernie!

Sandi, I would jump at a chance to go to over there!

Blueberries......used to go picking when I was a kid......yummmy!
Only saw a bear once. The bear wanted the berries, but I figured that if I picked them there was no way he was getting them. My dad told me to just drop the berries and get in the car. I think I was about 7 years old and had no concept of being afraid of a wild bear at the time. All I was concerned about was MY berries, that I was certainly not going to let the bear have! The bear came around the car for a bit, but did not jump on it or do anything that I really remember. Just remember my dad telling us to keep quiet.

HAPPY CANADA DAY TO ALL THE CANADIAN RIDDLE BUDS!

 

[TimNDansMom]

Good Morning Everyone! I'm not getting too many of the riddles lately, I think my brain is too soggy from allergies to think straight.

Today is the official holiday "Canada Day" but most business took yesterday off to make it a long weekend. Government offices and stores will be closed today.

I'm off to make a delivery in Stratford today of 750lbs. of press parts for a customer of Dh's company. He would have dropped them off himself but he had to get to work early today and his work is in the opposite direction ~ Guelph. I'm driving this bear of a pick-up truck!

Hopefully today's riddle answer will come to me while I'm driving.

Have a great day all!

Good morning OK and the Corral

I've never heard of this but it sounds cute. We do have the kind where you pay to have someone put in "jail" then they have to raise "bail" to get out.

LTM, was that a high school graduate that lost all that weight? Remarkable!

Just another busy day at work for me today. All the kebobs sound great. I think we will have hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill tonight.

PM sent, and I am waiting.

LOL! My arthritic fingers again! I fixed it!

 

[dianeschlicht]

How's your mom doing, Mickey? Prayers still going out for her and you.

We have had the pink flamingo thing around here too. You can also order a flock of them for birthday surprises in someone's yard.

 

[oldkicker]

LTM - I like the way you think!

Nice to hear from you, Mickey! I hope you're feeling all better soon and that the news from your Mom is wonderful. We've camped where there are bears and they can be very, very frightening!!

Julie! Are you a Teamster????

Marla - sounds like your DD is being recruited! Good luck to Kara!

Stephanie - I love that flamingo fund-raiser! What a great concept!!

A horrible surprise, Lorraine?!??? Well - there's something to look forward to all day!

'Morning, Credit Man!

Mad shrimp on skewers....well, I'd be a little peeved too....

Sounds like you're going, Sandi!

 

[TXTIGGR]

Morning Riddlers ...

Longhand ... shorthand ... well I can barely spell my name legibly anymore, given that all my "writing" is now done on a keyboard...

Being a lefty, I've always had terrible handwriting to begin with.
Anybody else suffer from that?
Do they even teach "handwriting" in school anymore ... lol

Well, another beautiful day here ... and another day stuck inside working.

Hope to play hooky sometime soon to enjoy the summer ...
Have a great day everyone!

 

[oldkicker]

[Breezy_Carol]

With that many alternates, I think the alternate should be the real thing.

 

[oldkicker]

There have been 4 or 5 DIFFERENT alternates today, Sis!

Well folks, time for me to go punch in at work!

Have a WONDERFUL day everyone!

I am...

The organization will "flamingo" a yard, and for a donation to the group, they will come back and pick up the flamingos....or you can purchase flamingo insurance for a set amount....or you can have someone else flamingoed...

I think it's a cute idea, if everyone is of the same frame of mind.


What do you think???

Well YES! As a matter of fact I have been FLOCKED personally! LOL! We used this to raise money for the American Cancer Society Relay for life this year. My OFFICE was flocked at work in fact... beautiful pink flamingos EVERYWHERE! LOL! It was a riot. I threatened to keep them because they added so much to my decor.

Sandi - GO TO FRANCE!! Was this a trick question?! Can there be any other answer?

Mickey - Glad to hear your mom is improving. Hugs. Between that and your dental surgery - you have had a lot of challenges lately. Keeping you in my thoughts.

Dinner for me tonight is chicken stirfried in olive oil with fresh baby zuchinnis (straight from my garden!) - sliced and quartered - with diced tomatoes thrown in at the last moment and then served topped with FRESHLY grated parmesan cheese. UMMMMMmm.... yum!

I just realized this morning that I am totally OVERCOMMITTED next week. DD has ponyclub camp that starts on Monday afternoon (think massive packing, washing of horse, and towing to a remote location)... she is also SIGNED UP FOR SWIMMING LESSONS that start on Monday (kicking myself! DUH!) AND I am scheduled to be involved in a horrible couple of days at work all day Monday and through TUESDAY NIGHT with a public hearing for our local irrigators on an issue they are all hot under the collar about. Shoot. Can someone clone me?! To make matters worse... I am out of town until Sunday afternoon too... so no chance to do much advance prep to make this all work.
Oh well, I will try and recruit some help AND juggle madly. This should be fun.

 

[Dan Murphy]

No riddle ideas, but a good morning to good people.

Good to hear your mom is improving some, Val, great news.

Hope all have a great day.

 

[DixieDreamer]

Geeesh... guess I scared everyone away.

 

[alabamaalan]

Good morning y'all from your clueless Bama bud.

Bernie, I hope you enjoy your barbecued Elk tonight.

 

[gina2000]

Good Morning, Clueless Bama Bud,

This is the clueless Joisey Gypsy!

Back from another fun filled early morning of swim practise!

I still don't know the answer to longhanded or shorthandedness!

But I guess it doesn't matter.....would that qualify as offhandedness????

 

[TXTIGGR]

DblD ... set another place for dinner I'm on my way ... LOL
