Sudoku Puzzles

Task for the day: Identify characters in fiction, film, and song named Doris.

as Kathy would say (and Judy, too about mine) where are my manners?

everyone!

Well, obviously, identify where they're from. Otherwise, we'd just have a lot of single entries of "Doris."

whenever I make that trip from one page to the next unknowingly, I get very disoriented!!!

Doris.

Oh.

Well, will go get some Bring up your cups and mugs and help yourself!
See you later!

Hello, everyone.

Good Maen, everyone! Shosho, thanks for the coffee. I need it today!

Mo - I'm so sorry to hear that your beloved Sammi has not turned up. I, too, suspect he has been adopted by another family. He is one of the prettiest cats I've ever seen.

Wow, Doris. You're some dish!!!

Bonjour tout le monde...Eh Doris je digère mal...comment vont les affaires?

Theresa - I'll be there! Keep it warm if I'm a bit late, please!
Oh Dorise...you are so lovely! I can see why Andre is smitten over you!
Anne - Doris Day is all that comes to mind right now...can't get the dirty dishwater out of my brain!

et j'ai trouvé cela amusant - Short Stumpy Doris Interiors...

anne = glinda? you are the magical good witch of the north, aren't you?

Good Maen, good people. I used to play flute.

I used to play flute and piccolo. Always wanted to get my hands on an oboe.

OK - have to go do the dishes...sans Dorise here :-(

Doris, the Oompa-Loompa secretary in Tim Burton's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," starring Johnny Depp.

Good one, Plum...Andre should LOVE that!

Doris Kerns Goodwin - author

Off to remove snow from car!

Doris Duke comes to mind. Although she died in 1993, presumably without ever having washed a dish in her life.

Doris??

The Doris I know is
Doppler Orbitography and Radio-positioning Integrated by Satellite instrument

What is it??

Can anyone help me with a flower ID from the photo on Medium? What is interplanted with the salmon pink hyacinth in the middle? It seems to be a spring bulb bed, but I can't think of a spring bulb that's pale pink and shorter than a hyacinth (it looks too late for spring crocus and I've never heard of a pink crocus).

Right... all of you form a line and follow me to science page...

You know, one of these days, Sudokuland is going to rise up, buy me a plant ID guide for me and tell me to shut up. I do tend to make a nuisance of myself asking for plant names.

No, no! Keep asking, Plum! I learn a lot that way!!! Right now I'm trying to learn the native plant life of the coastal sage scrub area in which I and my students live! My poor wee brain is going to overload soon! But I love learning!

Once I was invited to a hiking tour for docents in a Palos Verdes canyon. It was so exciting to learn all the plant life here. Especially when we got to the blackberry patch! The guide almost lost us there. We kept telling we'll catch up as we busily stuffed our mouths with the juicy sweet More...

I play piano, organ, guitar, recorder, and chanter (precursor to the bagpipes). One of these years I'll be playing a bagpipes! Well at least in my dreams! Jeb, you hard task master, I'm practicing. Had to relearn my finger holds!!!!

G-mo, many years back, I had a lovely ladycat named taffeta, who was being picked on savagely by my other cats. She really needed a good one-cat family. I thought my back-fence neighbors would be a perfect home for her, so I talked to them about giving them a kitty, and she said no, her husband More...

G-Mo, I grew up on a farm where cats where just a part of the barn. It wasn’t until I had a place of my own and had a house cat that I realized just how special and what characters they could be. We lost our cat, Rolex, of 17 years about a year ago. He had traveled all over the U.S. with us. We More...

As I look across the vines behind the house I can see the digger ( called a back hoe in the USA, I believe) that belongs to our friends she is bright yellow and along her loong arm can clearly be seen DORIS in large black letters. Even the French who wish digging jobs done refer to her as Doris.

2:04, all. Must rush now, I'm about to catch a bus up to visit my elder son at the scout Jamboree (talk about an early start!)

Plum, could it be a spring star flower? They come in many different colors. I can't see the leaves clearly, but the flower is about the right size.

A beautiful winter day here, not too cold, dry roads and fluffy snow to shovel.
Photo takes me back to my alto saxophone days, playing Dave Brubeck's "Take Five". I tickle the ivories too.

Make them all go away.

Sending a strong cat-signal out that Sammi gets home to you soon, Mo.

I got booted out of the tough puzzle too, and here I thought I was behaving myself today.
