Good one OG, I couldn't make head nor tail of it at first.


Thanks for the laugh, I needed one today.

[majic1]

La la la la la



Where'd everybody go?

[Davimad]

YOU ARE CRACKED! HAHAHA

[ol'gramma]

Anyone still struggling with this silly little brain teaser who wants the solution, PM me. I would post it, but there may be some who don't want to know as yet.

O/G

[Liz Mayhew]

I showed the solution to the maths guy and he said it must have taken someone AGES to do this. I said no, a gaming granny just put it together quickly in between designing loads of levels. You should have seen his face! (he's 18, so anyone over 30 is over the hill).

Liz

[ann3120]

Thanks O/G.

There's no way I'd have solved it for myself.

I'm sorry I didn't win my Life Savers but I wanted to know too bad.

My brain just doesn't function in that direction.

[majic1]

My brain just doesn't function in that direction.

Maybe that's why I sing like I do.

[popo]

Did you know that we call 'Life Savers' 'Polos'?

[ann3120]

Did you know that we call 'Life Savers' 'Polos'?

Do they make Polos in fruit flavours now? I remember them as being "the mint with the hole in the middle"

Do you know that horses love Polos? My best friend (her name is Pauline, too) always carries Polos with her
for the local horses that she meets.

[popo]

Yes, they make original, spearmint, peppermint, fruit and, I'm told, jelly fruit ones too.

Yes, I know horses love the mint ones.

[the cat]

Thank you OG. I can't afford to lose to may more brain cells at my age.
That was a good work out..A great old standard. Yes you do feel dumb after you know the answer.

[Davimad]

Just to let you know that my animals are as MAD as their owner.

My two horses hate Polo mints!

[the cat]

Hay And Carrots are the best, My horse loved apples.

[ol'gramma]

A lot of you have horses, that is interesting.
I like my pets under 20 pounds...short, and fuzzy.


O/G

[the cat]

I don't have him any more, It was when i was very young .Still in grade school. Now all my furry friends are small ,,Have 2 jack russells .sisters from the same litter.

[Liz Mayhew]

I'm scared of horses ever since one bolted with me on its back
I did manage to stay on - don't know how - probably even more scared of falling off!

Liz

[Davimad]

The Cat sent me this and I thought it should be shared.

Hope you don't mind Cathy.

[the cat]

Not at all, I'm glad you like it, Some of it brings back good memories

[Cat]

It worked thanks to M.A.D

[Liz Mayhew]

Loved the things mother taught.
Thanks to Cathy and Maureen.

Liz,

Didn't it take you back? I had to smile at so much of that, my mum always came away with the craziest sayings.

One of her favourites was... " If you burn your backside, it's YOU who has to sit on the blister."

Not one to compliment (she was afraid we'd get a swollen head) her children, one night I was all dressed up for my high school dance and asked mum if I looked alright. Her reply.. "Aye, you'll dae tae the doctor sees ye." I'm still not very good at accepting compliments, wonder why!

[the cat]

Ah yes the wonderful thing our parents did to our heads.

the one your just like your father,,still to this day, his sister(my aunt)tells me that. I tell her no, i don't think so "his dead"

[Davimad]

My mother had to have it both ways, if I did something wrong...."I don't know where you get it from, must be your father's side of the family because it's certainly not mine."

If I made her proud......"She just takes after me!"

[the cat]

I can remember the time my dad caught me smoking;

Don't smoke "you smoke"

Don't do as I do "do as I say"

I swore I would never tell my kids that..

[majic1]

It worked thanks to M.A.D

What worked???? I am confused. Did I miss something???

[Liz Mayhew]

Some medical science my mother taught me was: "If you swallow that chewing gum it will wrap around your heart and kill you!"
Also where babies come from: "Your belly button is a key hole which opens a door in your tummy and the baby comes out".
I was quite surprised when I had my first baby.

Liz

[Davimad]

I never had any babies Liz, still waiting for the stork to bring them.

Know the chewing gum one too.

Did you know this? For each lie you tell a little black dot appears on your tongue, gradually all the black dots join up and your tongue falls out.

If you kiss a boy a tooth will fall out.

What an education we had!

[popo]

When I used to get a painful, swollen tastebud on my tongue, my mum used to tell me it was because I had been telling lies.....and, you know what? I always had!

[Davimad]

Cat PM'ed me wanting to know where we got the big smiley's from and how it worked.

[Davimad]

Tut, tut Pauline, I was such an angelic little thing and would never do anything bad. I'm still the same today.
