Sudoku Puzzles

We will be stopping at internet cafe's etc & letting everyone know where we are so if it looks like we are anywhere near you let me know on my page as a personal message. I really must get some sleep now as it is 1 am here.

Jerry, thanks for sharing the KISS video. Just Great!!
Shiela, hubby and I really enjoyed the blonde joke. Nothing personal toward blondes, it can be an Aggie joke or whatever--still funny. In fact that one might be adapted as an Aggie joke.

Interesting picture also.

Good heaven's! Vici has jumped over the page and lost her underwear!

We stopped by the farm produce stand this morning and got enough cucumbers to make some bread and butter pickles.
Guess what I will be doing today?!? Haven't made any kind bread and butter pickles in a long,long time. Hope they will be good.

2;20 to you all from Portland, Oregon.

Jerry, thanks for the YouTube link. I, much to the shock and surprise of my family, am a Gene Simmons fan -- and I loved this link. It also brought back lots of memories. My dad was career military and I could sing the Army Song before I knew my ABCs. Now, I'm off to check out Jane's link...

Hang loose, Vici!

Good afternoon to all! Okay, who has been molding their mashed potatoes, and did they have a close encounter?

3.46 Good afternoon. Why is it known as Devils Tower? Is there a myth surrounding it?

Regards,

Stella award: 6TH PLACE :
Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles , California , won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps.

Go ahead, grab your head scratcher.

Stella Award: 5TH PLACE:
Terrence Dickson, of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately for Dickson, the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the garage door to open. Worse, he couldn't re-enter the house More...

Stella Award: 4TH PLACE:
Jerry Williams, of Little Rock, Arkansas, garnered 4th Place in the Stella's when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after being bitten on the butt by his next door neighbor's beagle - even though the beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. Williams More...

That's LAST place, Greg?? The mind boggles at what will be FIRST!

Stella Award: 3RD PLACE:
A jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania $113,500 after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier More...

Stella Award: 2ND PLACE

Spoke too soon!

Stella Award: 1ST PLACE : (May we have a fanfare played on 50 kazoos, please.)
This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was Mrs. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who purchased a new 32-foot Winnebago motorhome. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven More...

Well, I was right. It was mind boggling. I wonder what she would expect from a self cleaning oven? How in the world can these juries agree to monetary awards for these morons?

brilliant Greg, but where on earth is the justice in all that???

CG - These stories have been traveling the internet for years and, while not true, are highly entertaining! Thanks for today's chuckles!

And now for a late lunch...

That's why they were posted as jokes Jane!

I'm off to the gym. And wouldn't you know it - a storm is brewing. If I'd known I wasn't going to be able to ride my bike to the club, maybe I wouldn't have had that piece of pie for lunch! Bah humbug!

2:13, a bit slower than normal this morning. Hi everyone.

Good morning all.
I agree Shosho - that is the mountain from 'Close Encounters'.
Greg/Jane - I was SO pleased to realise those stories were jokes!

Good morning, a beautiful sunny day so I had better get something done. Devils mountain does look like its been man made, loved the Close Encounter movie. Thank goodness they were jokes Greg.

Made me laugh, Greg -in between head scratching with my jaw on the ground.

Amelia - in Close Encounters it was man-made in mashed potato!

CynB, to feed the aliens no doubt.lol

2:13 I seem to make a few mistakes these days. Think I'd better retire from doing the puzzles.
Good morning one and all!

Morning everyone

I too, am glad that they were only jokes CG, else the world is crazier than even I thought!!
Don't give up Anne , there are just days like that!!
Good Maen to all!!

Don't do that Anne as I'm having the same trouble, keep putting in numbers where there is already the same number in that box.grrrrr

Oh, Bluey and Amelia, you make me feel so much better. The fact that I am not well is no excuse, I just keep putting a number where there already is one the same, like you said you do, Amelia.

Phantom, just to clarify--I grew up in the city mostly before TV with only one sibling. The cultural deprivation was in the 70's and 80's while raising my own 5 kids way out in the boonies. Some of them commented on it as adults and were somewhat surprised that I felt the same cultural challenge about those times as they did. But why wouldn't I?

Pickles are done, jars all sealed. Tasting will come another day.
Off to MIL's to see that she gets to bed without incident. She's still a bit wobbly and says she's dizzy when she gets up or down too quickly.
I sure make lots of trips back and forth each day! I know most people want to stay More...

Hazel,I know what you mean as I had the same problem with my parents when I was living in Robinvale,I spent 4 months away from home and that is why they moved into the nursing homenow my Mum says she is glad they had even though Dad has passed on.
