Hi all!
Could you believe just writing about my experience with that awful movie ( It starts with~~~ The E------) I finished my post and then had to go down to the laundry room AKA The DARK SPOOKY BASEMENT and I was freaked out a bit! I am such a wimp!
Anyhoooo
I thought I would have a bit of fun today.
Do you like riddles?
source
I LOVE them!
Here are some I found that are fun. You don't have to guess all or any for that matter...no rules here. No stressin' OK?

Here goes.
1. You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the
outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?
2. Paul's height is six feet, he's an assistant at a butcher's shop, and
wears size 9 shoes. What does he weigh?
3.When you have me, you feel like sharing me. But, if you do share me,
you don't have me. What am I?
4. I can sizzle like bacon,
I am made with an egg,
I have plenty of backbone, but lack a good leg,
I peel layers like onions, but still remain whole,
I can be long, like a flagpole, yet fit in a hole,
What am I?
5. 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!
OK do you think you have the answers? Tomorrow I will post them.

Numbers one and four are driving me crazy, I can't wait to know!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the answers. I love riddles but am not very good at solving them.
ReplyDelete1. Eggs and apple
ReplyDelete2. Meat
3. Loneliness or time
4. A snake
5. There are no 'e's in it
...just guesses.
Here's one for you:
He who makes it, sells it.
He who buys it, doesn't use it.
He who uses it, doesn't know it.
What is it?
I love riddles!! ;-)
I once lived in a house that was well over 100 years old. The basement was made of the old barn block. Well let me tell you.... talk about spooky. Snakes would sneak in UGH!!! I hate snakes. I would tip toe down looking all around to be sure I didn't see any.
ReplyDeleteSo glad we moved, but other than that, I loved the place.
Looking forward to the answeres. I don't think you get too old to have fun with Halloween.
ReplyDeleteRiddles really trip me up, but at least I figured out number 2. :)
ReplyDeleteThe only one I get right off the bat is #2 - meat. The others are hurting my head - can't wait to see the answers!
ReplyDeleteI will need to see the answers since I am terrible at figuring out riddles! But I do know stress:)
ReplyDeleteAm I brain dead or what? I usually am not too bad at these. Today however, I only know #2 for sure.
ReplyDeleteI am so bad at these! So fun though...can't wait to see the answers.
ReplyDeleteFascinating, can't wait for the solutions.
ReplyDelete1. an ear of corn
ReplyDelete2. He weighs the meat at the butcher shop.
3. A secret
