Sudoku Puzzles

In the good old USA (Nov. 10th)- it is to the Marines born in 1775 (formed in a pub in Boston). My hubby would have been 71 today. So hum the marine anthem and then check out my video for the 11th.

"To Late Love Comes

For those of you already More...

everyone!

The U.S.'s Veteran's Day is on Wednesday, the 11th. According to my calendar, Canada's and the UK's Remembrance Day is on that day also. Although, the UK had Remembrance Sunday on the 8th. Slightly confusing.
Shiela, when I More...

Change of avatar to acknowledge Ray's poem and as a tribute to those who have served and are serving.

Kathy - how did you get that avatar approved so quickly? Or was this already in your avatar collection?

Here is the puzzle for this month from Mensa. I do not know the answer, since it will not be posted until next month. It is solvable, but may take some strenuous mental gymnastics!

1. Ruby is aged 18 and her favourite food is Yoghurt,

2. Jess is aged 10 and Strawberries are her More...

I already had it, Jane.
I have changed the YouTube on my page, "Some Gave All", Billy Ray Cyrus.

2:11 Maen! Cool photo, big spider!

******* PUZZLER OF THE DAY! *******

I just figured out the answer to the puzzler! It was actually pretty easy!

Send your solutions to me at my inbox, please!

Here is the puzzler once again:

1. Ruby is aged 18 and her favourite food is Yoghurt,

2. Jess is More...

Mensa may be a bit surprised at the number of correct answers they get...it's already posted elsewhere.

Really?

Nuts...

Glenn, I think the age could be figured out one of two ways. I'm working on the food.
Don't go looking up the answer! Work those little brain cells!

Not a puzzle, just a question...

The two most common keypads are the telephone and the calculator. Why on Earth are the numbers reversed, with one having the high numbers at the top and the other at the bottom?

My accountant uses a rotary phone, because his trained More...

For the record, I solved the puzzle awhile ago - AND I DID NOT CHEAT!!! What's the fun in that???

Ian, we still have a rotary phone in our den, kind of like the one in "Sorry, Wrong Number"--adds to the ambiance--we love that thing, and it weighs a ton. Also have a rotary dial on our kitchen wall, an old box phone that was retrofited with a dial inside--we speak into one of those black mouthpieces.

A cat has 32 muscles in each ear.

A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds .
(Some days that's about what my memory span is.)

Remembrance Day - Armistice Day - Veterans Day - Red Poppy Day - are all the same. Eleventh hour of the Eleventh day of the Eleventh month. While this day in 1918 is the official date to mark the end of the war reflecting the cease fire on the Western Front, hostilities continued in other regions, More...

Cathy: That's a great movie, a classic of film noir.

A 'jiffy' is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.


A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes.

November 11th is a National Public Holiday here in France with services of remembrance held at the War Memorial in every village and town throughout the country. In this village the names of the dead from WW1 fill 3 sides of the memorial. They lost almost half their menfolk. This is repeated in many other villages. It is no wonder, really, that they were loathe to enter into combat in WW 2

Re: today's photo:
"Cha-ching! Lots of yummy things to eat today!"
"Does the scary face on my butt frighten you?"

HI all! Well, Glenn's already posted a puzzle and Mo's already told you about the public holiday we have here tomorrow - I feel quite redundant. I'll go away again.

You're feeling redundant today, Fiona? Poor baby ... we love you in spite of it!

I think I have the answer too, Jane (and no cheating for me, either!)
Fiona! Come back! Find a new topic. Tell us about your sofas....

A snail []can sleep for three years.
(I know some people that could do this too.!)


Almonds are a member of the peach family.

This may be a repeat for some but I posted it under 'recipe' for some obscure reason.

A 'jiffy' is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.


A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes.

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that also . Actually I know A LOT of people like this!)


Babies are born without kneecaps.
They don't appear until the child reaches 2 to 6 years of age.

GMo - I don't think you posted it incorrectly. At least not if you classify shark burgers as fast food.

Good afternoon to all! Well, this isn't a grey spider, so it's not a portrait of Charlotte.

Mo, I guess when be say they'll be back in a jiffy they must be super fast, sort of like those you run into on the telephone when you get put on hold!

GMo - Regarding your note on almonds and peaches, the Italian liqueur Amaretto and the Amaretti di Saronno cookies are flavored with apricot pits - not almonds. (Apricots being, of course, in the same family as peaches and almonds)

I once had several snails along with goldfish in a fish bowl. I thought they were dead when they didn't move for months. I hope when they woke up they weren't too shocked to find themselves living in the sewer system...

Do you think "Jiffy" peanut butter was named that because that's the amount of time it takes for it to migrate directly to your hips after ingestion?

Well, I'm off to rotate money from one bank to another. These plummeting interest rates are driving me crazy!

As Kathy pointed out, tomorrow is Remembrance Day here in Canada. Every year I volunteer at my Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion to assist in the ceremonies and to provide a luncheon for the veterans that attend. I have been a Legion member for thirty-one years now, and the saddest thing has been More...

A pirate walked into a bar and the bartender said, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened? You look terrible."
"What do you mean?" said the pirate, "I feel fine."
"What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
"Well, we More...

2:09, everyone.

Appy - love the sunset!
Ray the poem brings tears to my eyes.
What horrors these stoic men must have seen and suffered. My nephew was in Afghanistan recently, and he is really reticent about discussing it. I don't know that I will ever know what he really experienced.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Lest we forget...

Eve thanks for the quiet tear on a sobering day. Will play that one at school today if our network will let meinto youtube!

Love the spider and the sunset! On of yours, Jim?
