Geez these are tough, guys! I haven't had a guess in days! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Hmmm...how do you do gardening if you're renting a room? Is there a backyard that you can use? Lucky [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. I have two rooms but no yard except for the front lawns, which I cannot plant stuff on. Now if I switched to an apartment on the first floor...ahh, I'm moving soon enough anyway.

Hint for the riddle: you're most likely only to see it in one or two particular rooms of the house.

Hello, Rae! If you want, you can post one of your own and let us agonize for a change [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].

Don't you remember my describing my garden to you in that PM, Kalimac? The room I rent is actually my own, in my parent's house. A couple of years ago, as I think I explained,
I "claimed" the front yard.
(If you don't, it's okay, 'cause half the time I think I've said things, and then I find out I haven't... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] )

....and what do you mean, you can't plant things in your lawn? I have two freesias and a jonny-jump up growing in ours! (of course, they planted themselves.... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Actually, Samwise, I don't think you ever did (just took a moment to glance over my PMs). If you want to do so, though, I'd be more than happy to read it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. Still lucky, though - I can't see my dad ever relinquishing his garden even if I still lived at home (though honestly he's much better at it than I'll ever be ...)

I mean that they're not my lawns, they're the apt. complex's lawns which they hire gardeners to take care of, and they'll thank you not to plant anything there, since it might interfere with the landscaping. So yes, they're perfectly capable of growing stuff, but I can't plant it there. Sigh. Ah, Suburbia.

Do you want any more hints for the riddle? (Just bowing in the direction of the topic for the moment [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]).

I didn't mean recently, you asked me about my garden, and.....
What? Oh, yeah, the topic. Not dust...uh...something spilled?

Nope, not something spilled. Think about the "millions must die" bit.

The garden thing is confusing me now! But I think we have each other's respective gardening situations pretty well mapped out at least [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. I do remember you mentioning that you're a flower person, though, and the fact that the snails are pretty bad for them. (You could have fooled this northerner [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]).

Mm. Okay, must have dreamed it. (I can't have dreams that are actually INTERESTING, like some folks on this board....)
And as per your riddle, this just popped into my head, though it's probably not right.: Hair?

Hair - no it's not the answer, but I like it. It really could fit, especially since hair consists of millions of dead cells (fun thought as I try to untangle it every morning). I think you have to get style points for that one [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. But no, it's something else. And like I said, it mostly shows up in one or two rooms.

Hi Guys,

I have a new riddle can I add it while to figure the last two out?

A xx [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

WHATS RED AND HAIRY ???

F*NN*E RASH!!!!!!!!!!

Stephanos is yours reflection or shadow?

Kalimac is yours mould?

Don't think the second one quite fits thinking about it!!

My riddle:

You say I may not enter,
That your errors are my mistakes.
You think you can control me,
but I know there is escape.
I know when you are lying,
for I come here every day.
So why not stop your mischief,
and let me come and play.

What am I?

A xx [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Hello everyone; I have not deserted you. I am afraid that the correct answer to my riddle has not yet been posted. Not shadow or reflection I feel. My only clue is to go for something more tangible and more literal.

I'll cut and paste it back here in a second... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I do not breathe, but I run and jump.
I do not eat, but I swim and stretch.
I do not drink, but I sleep and stand.
I do not think, but I grow and play.
I do not see, but you see me every day.

There you go... good luck! Amanruthiel this is a little 'out-there' but is the answer to yours, your sense of humour?

Kalimac: is it dirty dishes?

Um, "Belin", would you mind not using my account, please?

Amanruthiel, here's another off the wall guess if Stephanos is incorrect--your riddle reminds me of an old children's story--is it
"Nobody"?

Would people rather I simply posted the solution to my riddle?

Or would you prefer a couple more guesses? It is quite an old riddle...

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Samwise, That was me you told about your garden. Sounds nice.

Stephanos, I would guess a creek or river, but the 'see" part doesn't fit.

Amanruthiel, I have no Idea.Good riddle.

Clue number 2 - there are two of the answer.

Clue number three - without one you are drunk

OH! Thank you, Rae--I thought I was going nuts! (or nuttier than I already am!)

Aye, I'm sorry Belin. Twon't happen again.

Mae Govannen, Susan. Welcome to the downs. Enjoy your time here.

Hullo an' welcome, Susan!

Thanks, Susan... and in that case, welcome to the Downs from me as well. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] (Hey, cool, my first welcoming of anybody)
Ahem. Back to your regularly scheduled riddles.

--Belin Ibaimendi

Thankee [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I've a riddle as well, so I do.

If you break me, I'll not stop working.
If you can touch me, my work is done.
If you lose me, you must find me with a ring soon after.

A heart?

You got it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hello everyone! (Especially Susan, since she's new. Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome. May you soon become a Shade). No, it's not mould or dirty dishes (urgh) but geographically you're getting rather close [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].

Amanruthiel - yours wouldn't happen to be a computer, would it? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] (At least if all those "system has performed an illegal operation" messages are as irritating for you as they are for me).

Stephanos, this is probably wrong but would yours be a leaf?

Really? Wow--I wasn't sure!

Stephanos - please forget my last guess, I hadn't remembered all the clues. Is the answer legs? (If someone is very drunk, after all, they might as well not have any).

Good guessing, Mistress Samwise [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

An' here's another yet

What lies in bed, and stands in bed,
first white, then red.
The plumper it gets,
the better the old woman likes it.

(An' no, everyone's first guess is wrong. Getcher minds out of the gutter! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] )

Kalimac, is it laundry?

Kalimac got it right. Well done!

Oh, now I have to work out everybody else's...hold on I'll edit in some guesses in a second...

Susan, is it a rose? As in 'flowerbed'?

[ April 11, 2002: Message edited by: Stephanos ]

Kalimac

Good guess you got it right - how did you guess my computer keeps sending me loads of lovely error messages lately.

A xx [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

No, but you're on the right track.

Susan ~ a tomato plant? Or am I slightly off-beam with my prediliction for vegetation?

Kalimac: Wild guess, but could it be Bacteria? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
