Little one is taking singing lessons? I sure hope so. My current two and my previous two never sang with me. Sad. Non-howling hounds…it’s just not fair.

just that thing….
Capturing photos of waves just when they look like mountains.
He has had gallery shows.
He says some are planned for months… buying tickets to travel to other locations, after collecting data about tides and weather, heading out in a small to just the right spot to set up and wait…. while others are pure serendipity.
Their kids were born in the early 1970s, when seat belt and car seat laws were more lax, and enforcement was more so.
She wanted them in car seats, but my brother didn’t like them. He was thrown out of a car in an accident when he was about 15, and it saved him, which is rare, but he always hated seat belts after that.
He and I used to… um… discuss… the fact that he didn’t make.his kids use them either. Even their baby seats often went unused, if anyone was in the car who could carry them, until a new law made them get a car seat for my niece when she was already about 5, which she complained about endlessly.
So his wife was constantly nervous about their safety, throwing her arm like that at any quick braking, if she were driving… which she was all the time after their divorce. By then the kids were adolescents, and chose to wear seat belts, but her arm was still flung across their chests.
She was so in the habit she did it to anyone riding in the passenger seat… Including me, and her adult friends, and of course, her kids, even after they were grown.
Or, as Arfside did, extrapolate the missing set of equations. That way you’re working with existing information, and don’t have to start with an imaginary (missing) number as an assumption.

They were obviously just enthralled by your singing voice. Speechless, so to say.
When I sing, they come running to find out if I’m hurt or something…
Not even with passing sirens? Those always set my dog off.
Nope. Those don’t bother them at all. Strange hounds.
Cookie gets into barkfests with dogs on TV.
Nice harmony… though it could be the background “music” for a horror movie.
D. Buffalo should play it for his dogs to see whether they howl along.
I wonder how they know it’s 33.

Montana Lady would have loved this!

She wanted the role of “Nanny”.
Oh well…

My sister-in-law never got over that.

Whenever I had a client in the van I would do that.

And I have specialists or all of them!!!f
You go to a mycologist?
That must be some toenail fungus!
Personally, I try to shower often enough that I don’t carry enough dirt to interest a pedologist.
And I’ve been told I’m an airhead, but I’ve never been to an aerologist.
You need to visit Granny Weatherwax — the world-class headologist!
(I’ve dated a couple of mycologists — does that count?)
Ophthalmology is misspelled.
Ophth course…

Why would I want to carry these headshots around? In case I run into one of them?
If you run into Andy Gibb, you’re sicker than you thought.
Or Olivia Newton-John, or Jeff Conaway.
BTW I’ve never heard of Peter Barton.
I thought Peter Barton looked vaguely familiar. He was in the Powers of Matthew Star in tht titular role.
Thank you!

Maybe shoulda paid for two seats…

Gee, thanks…/s

I’d really, really like to believe this…
It looks like it is true. It’s in multiple internet sites. Here’s one:

12
Looking at it again, I think you’re right.
What?
I got the answer you just posted below.
Now I gotta figure out another way, as well, to come up with 12?
There are probably several ways to “solve” it cos there’s no explanation of what they mean by the false equalities.
9*(9+1)=90
8*(8+1)=72
7*(7+1)=56
…
3*(3+1)=12
Or, as Arfside did, extrapolate the missing set of equations. That way you’re working with existing information, and don’t have to start with an imaginary (missing) number as an assumption.
Okay, that works.
It’s a right answer, maybe a better answer, but still maybe not the right answer.
Faced with two possibilities, I tend to choose the simplest….
So with nothing else specified, and these puzzles probably meant for general circulation, not for math majors, I’d think they’re probably looking for
8×9=72
7×8=56
6×7=42
3×6=18
Okay… We got the same answer.
Obviously the “equalities” are false, so it’s a strange way to frame a puzzle…
But using the methodology they seem to have used,
So 3 would equal 3 x 6, or 18
5×6=30
4×5=20
3×4=12
Nah… I mean yeah, that works…
But if I have to invent the methodology plus add in parts that aren’t included…
It goes beyond what’s acceptable in my idea of puzzle compliance.
Not that saying that isn’t what they did, though.
Maybe it’s what they’re looking for…
But I refuse to accept it. 🙂
Sounds like Adam Savage from MythBusters. “I reject your reality and substitute my own.” Sounds fair to me, go for it!
You have to assume that the number above the 9 is a 10.
yes
That’s what I did, and what I said in my explanation, and so did Arfside.
We got the same
That’s what you’d gettoo! 3×6=18
But Dancing B had said 12, and Arfside figured out, and posted, how to get that instead.
That’s what I said could be right, but I reject it.
Sorry, I just neglected to acknowledge that you guys got it right to
I hope that question isn’t on a SAT test. Who knows how many people would miss going to Yale or Harvard just for missing it.

Almost the same photo as your posting May 26, just a slightly different angle.
Beautiful creature!
Yup. I got four snap shots.

Ew… But they actually made all sorts of jokes like that in Oconto.
Not that specifically, but about holding frog leg breakfasts to raise money, or writing a frog cookbook, different things like that.
