    hint: two words

    I have hands that wave at you,
    Though I never say goodbye.
    It's cool for you to be with me,
    Especially when I say, "HI."
    What am I?

    (meanwhile, I'm still thinking at whf's riddle)

    <b>Forward I am heavy,
    backward I am not.

    What am I?</b>

    <b>A hundred and one
    by fifty divide,
    And if a cipher
    is rightly applied,
    The answer is one from nine.</b>

    Sorry Banshee, neither.

    Clue for the first, if you typed it out rather than cut and paste you'd notice.

    As for the second, read it <b>very</b> carefully.

    *I can be this, and you can be this. And, yes, we can be this. He can't be this and she can't be this. And no, they can't be this. Dogs can't be this, but cats can. And a kitten can't be this, but a puppy can. Givers can't be this, but beggars can. And humility can't be this, but greed can. Not even peace can be this, but fear can. What is "this?"*

    'This' is Hungry...?

    *Forward I am heavy,
    backward I am not.

    What am I?*

    Heavy...? :bugeye:

    hehe, i did! It's in the typing.

    for "this" read "typed with one hand on a qwerty keyboard by the proper method"

    Think of a thing you use every day
    coming or going, its used either way
    With names as of death or learn'd places high
    many miillion there are beneath the earths sky
    each one is different to it's owner suit.
    It's not used by those who burgle and loot,

    What is it?

    And also
    2
    I hammer without nails,
    Have legs but cannot walk,
    A lid - but don't put things in me and Keys that fit no locks.
    What am I?

    WHF

    was your last post a clue, or the answer?

    you wrote it kind of like a clue but it really spells out the answer that by touch typing, the answer is that you can type 'this' with one hand!!

    I believe that it was the answer. Try it. Index fingers on f and j. You know the drill.
    Write the words me, you, cat, dog, etc. Some of them require two hands, some only one.

    Puzzles 1 and 2?

    I know the answer man, I was asking if she intended to give the answer or if she was giving a clue to the answer, and I touch type so it was easy with the clue given...

    *lol* No, esp, you were right the first time, that was the anwer, some words can be typed with one hand and some can;t.

    (It;s like trying to do straight crosswords after cryptic ones isn;t it? You try to read everything twisted.)

    Your second might be a piano?
