Riddles

[Turtle]

An open-ended barrel,

I am shaped like a hive.

I am filled with flesh,

and the flesh is alive.

 

What am I??

 

A flower?

[infamous]

No one is born with it, some never get it, those who get it may lose it in a second, & those who lose it may get it back in time or never at all. What is it? :hihi:

Say there my friend, this one is going to be a tough one to solve, me thinks. I've been studying for some time on this one and haven't come up with a good answer yet. Could you give us a little hint, BTW, flower is not the answer to my last riddle. You'll need to try again so I'll reciprocate and give you a hint: 'Something someone might use when repairing clothing'.................good luck

Yes, a thimble by another name.

 

I'm still stumped Turtle, but I refuse to give up....................I must go into deep thought...............I'll get back with you when I have another answer.

___No; I got it wrong. A 'darning egg', also called 'darning bob' is not a thimble, but an egg or mushroom shaped knob on a handle which is inserted inside a sock with a hole providing a supporting surface for working the darning needle against. Some were plain, some fancy, some wood, ivory, etc.. No one mends socks anymore, or much of anything else. :cup:

___I like making these puzzles much better than solving them. :hihi:

My mistake also Turtle, I thought they were the same thing. I do have an excuse however, seeing as I'm completely inexperienced in that field of textile repair.

 

I'm still working on your last riddle, give me a little time and maybe i'll come up with the right answer.
