Sudokuaholics Anonymous 8

Hi everyone, just got home from shopping with trouble...had fun...sat down with a glass of wine and ready to relax for the evening. Thanks for all the welcome messages!!! Hope to be a great e-mail pal to everyone. Have a great rest of the weekend!

104 pages and I still have avoided TOPP'ing. I have two browsers open, one for me and one for Suzanne, so we can take turns.

The TOPP list is completely messed up. If I have a chance, I will fix it. If I don't get around to it, we may never know.

Yep, can see you two are going to be trouble with a capital "T"
Good Morning SA8.
Drat just realised I will not be able to link up on Friday at June's BBQ, will be out on the boat for the weekend. I have to get a laptop!

After all the flack I got, I don't know if anybody wants to know.

Congrats on your first TOPP Suzanne

Now I have to do chores before the thunderstorm hits in half an hour.

Hey Heidi, it was just not you! We all have been over the top so to speak at some stage!

Hi Broni. Bye Broni.

Yeah, but I got singled out.

Broni, we have been causing trouble together for almost 25 years. If you think we are going to stop now.....

Heidi, are you busy? I was going to skype you so Suzanne can actually meet someone.

Nah you were just there at the time, and you are one little tough cookie who could handle it.

Heidi, thank you! I had searched many different times, and never found seedman. I am ordering some red spider and some star whites both. I think they will perk up my front porch!

Pastures here are nice and green, not sure what they will be like after Monday and Tuesday nights! I think I shall stop checking to see forecast. Every time I do, it gets a few degrees lower. At the moment they forecast 29(-2C) Monday and 25(-4C) Tuesday.

YES, there is a Susanne! I just met her on skype! I had to model a hat for them hehehe, so I got down my spring green one!

Tami, thank you for giving me the opportunity to meet and greet Suzanne, hope to chat with her a lot now we have been properly introduced!

Tami and Suzanne, just what did you find on your shopping trip? Couple of gals who were once in retail, I am sure you can shop with the best of them and find all the bargains also.

Suzanne, tell us a bit about yourself. I know you live in Utah, do you have family there? Work full time? hobbies?

others know all about me, been here long enough, but just for you. . .

Hubby and I have 3 daughters amongst us, but they are all mine, I helped raise his daughter. Children scattered to the far corners of the USA. One is not too far from Tami, In Palm something, near Melbourne FL. One in California and one in CT.

Live in a rural area just 8 miles from a University town, and half way between Montgomery and Birmingham. There are beef cattle living between me and town, I drive beside the pastures on my way to the main road. I like to quilt, and cook and grow flowers in containers on my porch. AND play sudoku, jigsaws, play mah jongg and solitaire on the puter.

Went to have a shower and missed a chat, Oh well!

Interesting article about bullying

everyone..

Hope everyone has a great day/evening/night.

Will be back later to read and catch up.

Later Aligater

BTW

Suzanne

to the Site and to SA

I'm back in, but too dirty for anybody to see me on Skype. And since it's starting to thunder and lightning, I'm not getting in the shower.

Morning everybody...have just downloaded the photos..too exhausted to do it yesterday. It is going to be hard to decide which of the 200 odd photo's I will put on my page....I've deleted the head shots,[where people walk in front of the camera]...the selection process will take a lot longer by the time I've done some editing. Stay tuned...

I'm having coffee with Kate in a few hours...need to thank her for bringing all the rain in Sydney down to Melbourne on Friday. We will also be doing some planning for Keith and Lynnes visit. It is Keith and Lynnes 28th wedding anniversary [don't know if that was common knowledge but it is now] and Melbourne needs to make it special! So, Judy, are you going to take a trip on Puffing Billy with them and make it a bit more memorable? Gail is making contingency plans to enable people to pick up cars from Belgrave seeing as we aren't doing a return trip by train...we will be alighting at Cockatoo...naturally!

WOW...have just checked my new smilies and I can't believe they are ALL grouped together!!! I think it time I deleted some. How many do you have Heidi and how do you ever find anything...you seem to have one for every occasion.

How are you feeling today Bean?
Hope you have a great time with Kate.

School holidays have started here and hubby has a day off, so I really didn't need to get up except for one thing...Mum's furniture gets here today. Could be here any tick of the clock, I am sooo excited!

Bean, is that the final decision, alighting at Cockatoo?
I will make an extra special pav for their anniversary then!

BTW Give my love to Kate.

Broni..I'm improving but not in leaps and bounds..I knew that yesterdays jaunt would slow me down a bit but it was worth it. Chest isn't as sore today and antibiotics are working on the fever.
Will do Gail heading Kate's way.
Keith liked the sound of Lakeside and having a look around there...or was it the chance to ride on a paddle boat? LOL.... He also fancied accepting your hospitality and has very kindly assured me that whatever we decide to do will be the right thing to do... OBVIOUSLY we need to think about this some more!! I like the idea of them catching a train to Cockatoo. Lakeside would be good for Steve's kids with the playground and I can think of a couple of teenagers that will also enjoy the paddle boats. [correction...Lachie says he isn't sure he would trust Hannah in a paddle boat]...we can talk about it on Wednesday if that is still ok for you.

Bean... I deleted a bunch I didn't use, so I only have 720 smilies.

The worst of the thunderboomer has passed. That was a violent frontal system. It has gone from 73 F ( 22.8 C ) steadily downwards. It's supposed to go down to 37 F ( 2.8 C ) tonight. So much for Spring.

Wednesday good at this very second Bean, but you know what life is like lately! Give me a ring tonight or something.

Spose it means I better start tidying up!!!

Heidi, I honestly believe there are no such things as proper seasons these days, not when we have to have the fire going on Christmas Day here, normally it should be one of the hottest days of the year!
I started the fire yesterday, and apart from when we are away at Easter, it will not go out now till our supposed spring, though recent years have had it still going till the end of October!

Good morning lovely SA8 people.
Have a little visitor today - Emily. She has left that school and doesn't start at her new school - a catholic college - until after the easter school holidays.
Broni - thanks for letting us know about Four Corners tonight - I usually record it anyway but will let Andrew and Marie know so they can see it.

Sorry - rude of me - hello Bean, Gail, Rolanda, MizT, Tami and your twin Suzanne.
Heidi - 720 smileys I only have about 150 and it takes ages to open - how do you cope?

Cyn, wishing Emily good luck in her new school. I hope everything is wonderful for her there.

Thanks, Suzy. From what I've seen and heard it is a good school.

Hi SA8.

Sometimes it takes FOREVER to find the one I want, but I generally know where they are.

Hi Viv!!!
