Sudoku Puzzles

Hello all. Great story Shiela. Have a wonderful day.

Wish I had time to hang around, but I'm finally doing my house decorating.

Maen all! Well, my sister & her family are officially in the Land Down Under for a year's stay. Maybe I'll get that opportunity to visit after all!

Jeana, make the opportunity you will not regret it and the chance may not come again. Start planning now. The earlier you book you get the better airfares.

HI all! It seems yesterday's riddle was far too easy - some people are never happy! The answers I wanted were as follows

5. (4) PROCRASTINATE
6. (4) PROPOSITION
7. (5) PROFESSIONALLY
And the lucky winners More...

Here's today's one - answers to the "I bet you're tempted by the above" inbox please!

What does each word in each group have in common?

Group A
A baby
A cow
A shoe

Group B
A duck
A restaurant goer
Congress

Group C
A river
A cave
A face

How wonderful, Jeana! Be sure to let our Sudokufamily down-under know if you plan on visiting. Meeting them was the best part of my visit there! ...and GannieMo is right. I paid $775 roundtrip 6 months before leaving and flew all the way with Qantas (the BEST airline!). When I checked a similar flight on Qantas the week I was leaving it was going for $2600!

Nice bowl.

Apparently, if I'da been up at 5 AM, I could'a been first.

Keith, Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda...

In retirement, 5 AM is against my religion.

I decided I'd better go Holiday festive ... not much time left.

Happy Thursday!
Karen:
Thank you for the updates on Thing 1 and Thing 2. They are so cute!

Usually I can eat clementines until I turn orange, but the ones I've bought so far this year are dry and woody. Anybody else noticing this (or is it just me? )

Thanks, GannieMo & Vici, I will certainly keep checking the fares. So far, the least expensive round trip airfare I've seen from Maine to Sydney was around $1500. I'll have to check Qantas.

1:40 Maen! A bowl of fruit. No flowers, cats, or scenery. A nice change of pace! :)

Good afternoon to all! "Orange" you happy to be here today?

Wonderful Fiona! Thank you. Just what I always wanted... a cuddly Santa Cluas!

Nice to see Anne and Fii on the site this morning. It looks like they both had late nights.

The Employment Standards Department determined a small woodworking shop owner was not paying proper wages to his help so they sent an agent out to interview him.
"I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded the agent.
"Well, there's Jake my finisher More...

One more post just for CP!

CG, Isn't that the Truth OR That would be funny if it wasn't so close to the truth...

Well, all, I'll be going back to Washougal later today. In preparation for house guest and family Christmas festivities. With the very slow internet dial-up I have available, My online time is limited.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas or, which every, holiday you may be celebrating!

Cathy, I got clementines towards the last of the season that were woody & dry. I HATE them, too! So far this year they've been fine. Maybe its improper storage prior to getting them in the market, a bad season or just the luck of the draw, who knows?

Jerry, enjoy your family festivities. I'm sure you'll be missed on the site. WELL.... maybe and maybe not! Have a nice Christmas!

Rayray, loved your Christmas poem! Glad I didn't miss it.
For others who think they missed it and are wanting to read it, it is on Rayray's page (the most recent).

I really HATE to rub it in, but ... last night we made fresh-squeezed Valencia Orange Juice with the last of that fruit ... and the Navel Oranges, Mandarin Oranges (Clementines?), and the Tangerines will be ready in just a few weeks ... Maybe the year-round citrus in our backyard accounts for our orangish skin tones ...

Haven't seen seedless mandarins up here in Ottawa for at least two years. Stop hogging them all Judy!

Slurp! Munch! Dribble! Slosh! M-m-m-m-m! Wipe! Sip! Yum-m-m-m! Who's hogging them, Greg? Our one Mandarin tree supplies all of our needs and provides half-time snacks for the soccer team our son coaches! And the adjacent Tangerines will find their way into the toes all of the Christmas stockings!

1:34, all.

I'm glad you alluded to mandarines and clementines together, Judy - I was wondering if they are related?

OOOOH, a cuddly, cooking, shopping, wrapping Santa!
You know the way to my heart, Fiona!

I've been up all night and at work, but too busy to talk with you all - or even to sign in, for that matter.

Something to do with three babies at 0212, 0240 and 0248.

One each for the three midwives working, but we back each other up so I was at all 3 births, after catching the first one alone!

Fun - and nice Christmas presents they make, babies!

OK, I'm out of here for a while. Breakfast and bed call!!

As I said to Fiona when I sent her my answer for today's riddle, I do hope she is cute.... the cuddly Santa that is, as we all know Fiona is cute!

next week it will be time to celebrate

Hope I will be ready! so much I would like to do...

TGIF!!!
