Sudoku Puzzles

So much excitement for one evening I must go put the kettle on for a cup of tea (with milk!).

Heidi Ho: Please be careful when your play around with your 'critters'. When I was 7y old I was gored by an aggressive Heiffer and got covered in bruises. They can be very nasty.
Appy: You are really on form. I loved the poem, and the joke about the Kentucky fried chicken. However sometimes More...

Speaking of 'weeee-ing':
the thing that bats, as they hang upside-down, fear most about their old age is incontinence.

The r7.7 earthquake in the Sea of Okhorsk was followed three days later by a r6 quake in the Ryuku Islands of Japan.

CG: Today English is the International Language for International Pilots and Air Contollers speak English. If Air Controllers only spoke a language or dialect of the region they lived, how would you like to fly with a pilot that only knew Hebrew, Norwegian, French OR English. A common language is More...

This little guy seems to be taking a siesta and nothing is going to phase him!
Good morning world! It's almost noon so would it be good noon?

I learned English (my father was a good ole American) and Japanese (my mother was a Japanese citizen) from birth. Then when I came to America my first friend was from the south, so it was hysterical seeing this little Japanese girl speaking with a southern drawl in Seattle, Washington. I was some More...

GMO - You are so right about words meaning different things in different areas and differences in spelling (honor/honour).

One of my girl friends was accompanying a man from England here on business. She went with him to a business dinner. Near the end of the evening he said "I'll More...

Today they opened the entire rim road around Crater Lake. It was delayed till now to get the heavier than usual snow fall removed.

Eve, I don't think I disputed the fact that English is currently entrenched as a "universal" language. What I said is societies are changing, and people living in those societies need to adjust to the change and accept others languages. English may not last long as the More...

My earlier comment was for the tough one, please!

Shosho - "y'all come back now y'hear"

Jane - loved your Soth'rn sayin's. Texas is part of the South (lived there for 20 months).

Regarding the language issue, I agree with ALL of you - up to a point. I agree with Eve that everyone who comes to this country to live and earn a living should be expected to learn English. Even our little community has a free program for Spanish-speaking residents to learn English. However, we More...

Why, Eve, I didn't know y'all were a closet Suthanah!

Off to the showers. Just got back from my 10-mile bike ride, and besides being sweaty, my legs were also licked by a boxer (dog, that is) at a bike shop that I visited.

"I feel sweaty
Oh, so sweaty
I feel sweaty and wetty all day..."

(to the tune of "I feel pretty". Anyone want to add to the song???)

Catch you later....

Got to do some more cleaning (company coming on Sunday), take a shower and head off to Britt. Working Vounteer Booth (3-6:30)so I can enjoy the concert tonight. CG: Jesse Cook is from Montreal (born in France) plays Flaminco Guitar however his music has hints of many cultures. Love it. Craig More...

I have to share
I have just received an email from someone else doing geneology and it turns out our great grandfathers were brothers. This is a branch of the family I have traced but have never met, or knew the descendants . We are going to exchange trees and 'chat' this weekend.

Honey, I'm Home!

Well, briefly anyway. Just off to work - for a 12 hour shift! Catch you later!

GannieMo - That's exciting! All of a sudden your family tree has sprouted new branches!

Of course, if the newest member of the family tree turns out to be a "sap", perhaps you'd better "leaf" things be.

shosho, grass-hopper, Kate, rosemary, Cgreg, Heidi, andre, Judy, Rolanda, Gail, Broni, Kathy, Eve, Shiela.. FOR MY BIRTHDAY WISHES yesterday!!!!
A few of you asked the day- it was July 10th, USA time

Sorry if I missed anyone on the BDAY thank yous!.. thank you though!

AND NOW-

Big NEWS!!!!!!!!!!

Just as soon as I returned here a few months ago-back in full force, i'll be off again, quite extensively

My husband and I have been More...

I'm pretty sure that it is a toad,( Every time I say definately someone always proves me wrong)
Toads sit upright, where frogs hunker down. Toads are fair game where I live, the Powers That Be are even talking about a bounty on them again!

What a cutie! I love frogs/toads.

Grasshopper: Something I wondering about only yesterday was the origin of the word 'toadstool'. In children's book illustrations a toad is often pictured sitting on a toadstool as its 'stool' or 'seat', but I wonder about the other meaning of the word 'stool'. Do/did some people regard toadstools as the faeces of toads I wonder?

When I was in Oz I used to have a pet tree frog in my room. It used to ride on the carriage of my typewriter. It used to really enjoy watching me typing and was also excited by the hurdy-gurdy ride.

I've got a couple of tree frog stories that are now legend in our family.
One involved Mr P, sitting on a toilet in Townsville, with a cistern that was high above the loo. He lept hearing a funny croaking/creaking noise, so after finishing what he was at, and having flushed the loo, he listened More...

All, have a great day! 3:17

Second story involved No1 daughter at the tender age of 2 and a half, who was already toilet trained. We stopped in a country town for a toilet break - at the local football ground, the only public loos in town. Miss 2 went in by herself, while I changed napy on daughter No 2. She finished, tidied More...

Fancy a kiss? Surely there's some charm under there somewhere.

Gotta go, there's work to do - I just have to find it!

Yes Grass-hopper, that IS a toad.

In Indonesia there used to be a toad living in the loo. Everyone did their business on it. It didn't appear to mind at all. Funny creature!

Not much left of the morning here !
Well so much for that idea. I printed off the easy and medium, and stuffed them both up.
Will try again, then maybe I can see the toad.
Cold start here again but a beautiful sunny day now.

I did not get around to mentioning HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you Marylinn for yesterday.
Sounds like you will be a busy girl for a while now.
Hope it all works out for you with this new job.
Best of luck to you and hubby.

For me the same old same old here.
Washing, ironing,using the sucky thing etc.
Must get in front seeing as I am going to hospital on Monday.

Wonder if I can make a Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
