0 plainglazed Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Money? Only because of the saying. Hey there filly678 - Certainly see where that response came from. Think it makes some sense even beyond the saying. Just not what I have in mind (for the answer to the riddle, anyway). Thanks for kicking this one off.

0 plainglazed Posted June 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 crystals? shadows or oxygen or maybe the roots in the ground edit: for last guess hey harvey45 and PVRoot - very clever guesses you two. all fit on quite a few fronts. still think you'll accept my answer in the end. ps - when I said that bit above in response to t_l's last response what I meant was her answer might not be too far off. well, now am sure I said too much.

0 plainglazed Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Yes indeed, PVRoot! And to Molly Mae, also. Well done. The first three lines refer to the fact that they still for the most part come from trees (but are neither wooden as in stiff nor made of wood) as opposed to most other things rubber which are now usually synthetic. The fourth line and the title - typically when in use, right? And the last three lines are about that old threat of someone losing an eye when shooting rubberbands. Was fun from this end. Be back soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
