I haven't had my morning coffee, so maybe it will come to me later.
Thanks, Gerry, for stretching my brain.
Hi, Diana. Inundated is another word for flooded. If your home has been flooded you will certainly lose some possessions as they will be ruined.

You are completely right. I was diagnosed with a ton of cervical and shoulder issues, and's I'm on plenty of meds.
Congratulations, @Ali Pinar ! It's your turn.

I’m a three-digit number. My tens digit is five more than my ones digit, and my hundreds digit is eight less than my tens digit. What number am I?

ASIDE: Methinks @Ali Pinar is so deeply engrossed in his book that he has forgotten to check the Riddle Game for responses ... OR ... perhaps he is checking the answer on a Cray computer for accuracy. :confusion-shrug: ... :confusion-waiting: ... :sad-bored:

I think my answer is correct. Should I start a new riddle? :eusa-shifty:

NEW RIDDLE:

I and my parter work together
Our work uniforms are yellow
If you make use of our service we will keep you safe
If you ignore us you may die

What are we?

Road crew workers who are directing one-way traffic during road repairs. One "parter" on each end of the blockage.
