Sudoku Puzzles

mags - i always look at some of those times in awe - my brain/mouse/hand don't work that fast either. hope you continue to enjoy this site - there are some amazing people who drop in regularly!

Jeb, the rest of the story please! What happened yesterday? I spent the day with my son and his family. My grandson recognizes me and always gives me a giggle or two. In a marsh preserve near me we always have a pair of snowy egrets and a common egret or two to nest here. I always look for them now. Only the snowy egret came .

Hi, Everyone! Hope you're having a wonderful day/night! The picture is definitely from Nal, who posted yesterday. HI, Nal! Her pictures are WONDERFUL! Be sure to visit her Flickr site!

Jeb must be on the golf course, so I'll take the liberty....


Just then the little snake crawled out from under the couch. One of the policemen drew his gun and fired at it. He missed the snake and hit the leg of the end table that was on one side of the sofa. The table fell over and the More...

Angie, I think Emily is a winner simply for competing. Many become so unnerved that they don't take part all. A great seamstress must have spent a lot of time on that costume to enable it to withtand the rigors of the dance...lol Great job by both of you. Get plenty of rest for next week.

Worth the wait. Cheers.

Everyone out having fun today but me? Helped hubby in the yard again. So much to do, we need a smaller yard.
Changed my YouTube check it out if you like Enya.

Hi Mags - another Scot on the site - welcome to the mad world of sudoku! where are you from?

Ian and Julie, You are so spot on about Nal's photography....a treat is always in store for nature lovers viewing her work!

Mags...Im adding my voice of welcome to the others continue to enjoy your puzzles in a leisurely manner, you will find that many of us don'ttime selves!
Cathy, I'm so happy that your lovely cat is feeling better.
Bert.....So
good to see a post from you again.Hope all is well.

Is it just me or is anyone else having problems with typing the comments then posting them? Leters are missing, spaces are missing..I type badly enough with out having to go over everything or is this a problem with my mouse and keyboard? How can I fix it? HELP!!!!

A priest and a taxi driver both died and went to heaven. St. Peter was at the Pearly gates waiting for them.

'Come with me', said St. Peter to the taxi driver.

The taxi driver did as he was told and followed St. Peter to a mansion. It had anything you could imagine from a bowling More...

No problems this side of the pond. I would look at the keyboard.

Thanks for finishing Jeb's joke, Caddy. It was a laugh out loud one for me! Must rest my weary fingers....they are worn out typing and retyping the many missing letters and spaces. Have a wonderful time no matter what you must do...if nothing else, you get whatever it may be, over with...Peace Be With You!

...rest of jeb's joke under joke classification...

Just then the little snake crawled out from under the couch. One of the policemen drew his gun and fired at it. He missed the snake and hit the leg of the end table that was on one side of the sofa. The table fell over and the lamp on it More...

Yes, that problem is usually the result of something under the keycaps preventing a connection from being made. It might be crumbs, even dust, but the worst is spilling something so that a residue forms under the keycaps. The caps can be [very gently] pried off and swabbed with a bit of rubbing alcohol.

Celebreties are not hero's.

Thanks for the response Good Smaritian! I was afraid of that being the case.....that's why I need help.....lol. Looking at the keyboard, even with a deep scowl on my face hasn't fixed my problem or even let me know what the problem might be. HELP!!!!!

Agreed...I'm now looking to see how I can do as you advise without tearing up my'puter..I'm not the smartest kid on the block in this area...I hate to admit that, but its true!

Buy another keyboard. They are one of the cheapest parts of your whole system. Saves a lot of stuffing around, unless of course you are that way inclined and from the sounds of your post you aren't. It would probably cost more in labor from a tech to clean it than buying a new one.

Unless you are using a laptop. Then you are going to be in deep doo doo.

Morning everyone, its good to see we are back to the nice friendly chatter. Welcome to Mariane and Mags and Happy Birthday to Tricia. The rain has stopped for the moment checked out the radar nothing much around supposed to come back Thursday. Cheers

Good Samritan and Agreed....I hear you loud and clear!!!! I wasn't able to pry the caps off, but with a very thin brush I cleaned, shook and knocked out a lot of debris.....was amazed at the dirt since I don't often eat while at the computer, and have made it a practce to dust the More...

Hello Mamacita! I think you are having your leg pulled by the Good Samaritin. DO NOT PRY THE KEYS OFF! If you really want to clean your keyboard, remove the bottom by taking all the screws out and then clean it with compressed air (available at a low cost from any computer store). If it's is really More...

afternoon all in sudoku land. hopefully you have all had a great weekend. its been warm and sunny here in utah. we are dog sitting for the next week our neighbors black lab, kaya. boomer our own dog got his new summer do this morning. he prances around like a deer. he loves More...

great rain here overnight.

had a lovely visit from CP yesterday and overnight. just love it when we meet up with those that we chat too.
the sudoku family just gets bigger and bigger.

welcome to the SM club.

No leg pulling here. Keyboards are cheap, but you are correct, removing the screws from the bottom of a standard keyboard and blowing compressed air will remove any dust. BUT, if anything has been spilt on the keyboard, that won't solve the problem. I think agreed was talking about a laptop as the electronics on a standard computer keyboard are different from a laptop.

By the way, while you are buying a can of compressed air or a new keyboard, invest in a plastic keyboard cover. There are different varieties so have a look around.

Probably the biggest source of ''dirt'' under the keycaps, or in the keyboard, is minuscule skin flaking, not even visible when it happens. A keyboard cover is useful, but most dirt accumulates while working on the computer...people who never let coffee or munchies anywhere near their computers are More...

Cyndi and Kathy: Thanks, both of you, for commiserating. Nice to know that good people are out there rooting for my boy.

Beautiful bird. I couldn't stay so clean scraping around in the dirt.

Hey everyone, to those that posted on my page, yes, we think Emily is pretty, but that is just a photo from my camera,(still need to learn how to use it) but will post the formal one when it comes back.

Emily and Joe are good friends and had a great time. Can't believe my baby is going to leave this fall, but that is just part of them growing up.

Cathy
always a worry when your pets are ill, they are a big part of any family.
three of ours are sooking inside because it rained ....

Guys,one and all, Samaritan, Agreed and C.Greg....I am using a basic Dell Desk top...I will remove the screws and use compressed air to clean and only a limited amount of alcohol on Q-tips to clean, being sure all is dry, prior to reassembling, use of a cover may/may not be all that helpful, and More...

i am not a big fan of birds...^_^

Sandra LA/NC - Re: post on my page. That is a difficult loss at that age, Emily lost a friend about a year and a half ago to a car accident, and they realize that nobody is invincible.

The mock car crash had a big impact on my son in his senior year and so this year he organized one for More...

Mamacita, I'm no expert, but is it a cordless keyboard? Mine was doing exactly that a couple of weeks ago, and it just needed the batteries changed. Perfect ever since.... (touch wood)

Good Samaritin and Agreed: It might be useful if you posted under a real name so people could identify with you as a person, rather than an false name.

Oops I forgot. Mamacita I remember some schools having flexible keyboard covers on student used computers all the time, even while kids used them.

Jeb's caddy, thanks, it was worth waitig for.
