Sudokuaholics Anonymous 8

Off to fling food, I cannot believe I have to do that again today, just did it yesterday! I actually made two deserts for dinner last night, I had forgotten I had the apple crips and found some sponge cake needed eating or freezing. Dod some of both.

OH I have a rant and you can pass on by if you want. That Purchased sponge cake was TINY. Pan it was cooked in was smaller, slices were so short, measured from the hole in center to outside of pan. I paid more for less, so much going on these days!

Have started a new forum

Vici is back but a bit behind. She will no doubt find her way here when she is on top of ffuts... I have briefly appraised her of news and she dropped in on Mo.

Just stopping in for a quick hi and bye. Spoke to mom a few times today and she is doing well, just a little tired. I have to get up early to take car in before school so I am going to bed early but I had to stop in to say hi. I will catch up over the weekend. Thanks to everyone for their good wishes for my mom.

The reason we want that pup is that an animal shelter, especially one in Kentucky, is not a good place for him. They have a very high incidence of illness, and they aren't selective about the home that gets him. Plus, he will not have good socialization there. Some of these shelters that don't have a lot of dealings with rescue groups won't release them to us until they become very ill, and become too costly for them. We don't want to see that happen to him.

Afternoon all!
MizT - I have a similar rant for stuff here - an international problem...

Lots of ffuts done, lots more to do....

Sorry, because I'm addicted to news I had to read a couple of articles before I left, and this one tickled my funny bone (though I'm sure it wouldn't have if I was the police officer)

Keep em coming Suze...keep em coming...
I rely on you to sift thru the news for me...

Just a quick hello to all....
Heidi...the puppy sounds wonderful...you really need this little one....lol
Bean...I'll be waiting, but not holding my breath...and of course I welcome the accomodations...lol
Bobbie...glad all went well and belated birthday greetings...sorry I'm so late, but the wish is still heartfelt.
June, thanks for the welcome comment..always nice that one is missed in a good way, and noticed when they get to drop in.....some of you are so much better at this than I, but I do appreciate being on the receiving end.It really makes me want to do better.
Bronte...Hope you keep enjoying some R and R. Thanks for letting us know about Mo's loss...we animal lovers know what she's feeling even though we know its coming we are never prepared emotionally...no matter what we say. MizT...good on you for always being ready with such a comforting poem. I too cry whenever I read it since I am reminded of my loving companions who have crossed that bridge.
Gail, I saw where someone asked about Wendy, but didn't see your response...I am keeping all of you in my prayers and hope healing is ongoing for all.
Bronte...I'll try to catch up with you sometimes soon...you are the only one that I have a chance to possibly catch up with..lol

One for Heidi...

Hey Bean! I should not be here. I'm supposed to be doing ffuts - don't encourage me!!

Mamacita, it is always wonderful to see you here.

Interesting article, Suzy. Thanks.

Did you see the news item last night about a bungled ram raid. Some thieves rammed a shopping centre with a 4WD and dragged an ATM into the back. Somehow or other they hit reverse and ended up stuck in another shop and fled empty handed. The bank involved said that the ATM would only have had a few 100 dollars in it. I've been looking for a video clip for you all because it was a bit like a carry on movie!!! The policeman reporting on the crime was having trouble keeping a straight face.



really funny

Suzy, about your first news article. I wonder why the young man had to borrow trousers? While he was borrowing, why not borrow underwear to go with??

Bean, similar bungled ATM thefts have happened here.

Heidi, thank you for the explanation about the shelter and their care for the puppies.

Good Night Sudokuland, Hugs to all and See you tomorrow. My pillow is calling me.

Hi all -back again, after a successful and expensive day's shopping and a yummy sushi lunch.
Bean - good idea about the new forum. (Hehehe - you told him!)
MizT - hubby got home not long after that post but the 3 hour job turned into a 6 hour job - all the more for us!

Well, I am glad you got paid for the extra hours Cyn. I was wondering if he bid by the job, instead of by the hour and had to do the job at his quoted price. I am glad he did not.

he he...Cyn I wonder if there will be backlash if I say what I think ... perhaps it is enough to say I was not at all surprised LOL...

Of course we saw Billy, MizT, several times. There are several different engines that pull ht e trains, not sure which one is actually Billy, I think he's the green one. We even saw the diesel engine, he is usually only used in times of high fire danger, because the steam engine could throw out embers. I videoed them and hubby photographed them from every angle!
And yes, I waved, it's the law!

Hi everyone! Just finished reading all the news - really should be doing other things ... what the heck!
Bean, the new forum sounds like a very good idea to me! (What is that guy's problem?)
Catch you all later! :)

Still here! Gail, haven't been on Puffing Billy since the kids were little - every time I leaned out the window I got soot in my eye, but it was fun! I remember having a fun time with the kids at the lake, too, but that was a LONG time ago! :)

Hello, Friends! Nearly midnight here, so only just popping in to say Hello! I'm still about 10 pages back, and won't have internet accessibility this weekend. So, anyone having a birthday or anniversary celebration, I hope it is wonderful! Anyone not feeling well, please get better! Anyone visiting who hasn't been around much lately, so nice to have you back for a visit! Take care, Everyone!

Hubby has expressed interest on going on Billy now. He has never seemed inclined in the past. He was reading the brochure and saw there is a complimentary bus from Belgrave (meaning you can leave your car at Belgrave) to Gembrook then you take Billy back to Belgrave on the Afternoon Tea train.

Bean, thanks for the snippets page. I have added the BBQ here for Keith and Lynne.

I found our cat over the back fence. I have brought her home but she will not stay inside and she is not well. I have to pick up Laura soon and Ken has the Grand final of his U/14 baseball championships tonight so if she is no better in the morning looks like a trip to the vet.

Evening all!
I didn't post on the new page Bean 'cause I kinda think the point of it is not to be cluttered up with comments like 'nothing important happening to me right now!!!'. And sadly, that is the way things are at the moment. Running kids around, doing ffuts, all the usual boring ffuts. I WiSH I had something to post! Actually, I take that back! Important could be bad as well as good....

June, I'm glad you found you cat, but I wish it had been under better circumstances. Poor thing. I hope she is okay.

MizT, I thought the same thing! I thought the trendy thing to do was show your underwear, not you 'under' wear...

Gail, a trip on Billy sounds like a fine way to spend your semi-retirement!

June, no more baseball until next summer? Or does Ken still do something with the seniors too?

Suzy, I so hope his team won tonight as it is supposed to be his last season of coaching. He will be 70 this year so he has done well.
His team was minor premiers.
Must go and put a girl to bed.

Evening SA8. Long time since I have been on Puffing Billy. Would hate to think how many years I would have to go back for that memory.

Good Evening SA8, just caught up and forget all the comments I want to make.
Heidi hope you were able to save the pup.
Cyn don't need a lawn mower have a boarder now, so will tell 6yo Bella puppy to keep it to herself hehe!
Mama, yep I cried too, had to go have a smoko so no could see me.
June glad you found your cat.
Gail, I have ZoneAlarm and it is telling me it is running way too many processes in the background. Yep I hate it too. Heard you have to uninstall it, will try over the weekend.
Zusy, will really have to get a video of Bella with Moo she is such a character.
Puffing Billy, last time when I was I kid and cannot remember much.
Bean, what Brissy is not in the race...rasberry to you!!!! Keith and Lynne are staying with me TOP THAT!

Oh you get the gist, just re read and that was with correcting typos manually, forgot about spell check.

OK just remembered have to go back and check about Beanie's new thingy and what all the hoo haa is about.
