Sudoku Puzzles

Everyone knows that all potatoes have eyes . . .
Well, Mr. and Mrs. Potato had eyes for each other. They finally got married and had a little one, a real Sweet Potato whom they called "Yam." They wanted the best for little Yam, telling her all about the facts of life. They warned her More...

Oh my goodness.... wheeeeee!

Kathy - please send some crabs this way. I just used up the last of the crabmeat from the freezer. The crabs haven't moved from the rivers into the ocean here yet, so we won't be catching them for a few more weeks. When they are here, we usually catch about 4 or 5 dozen in an afternoon. Can't wait!!!

Morning all!
Linda, I loved the Physician. Great book. It has been long enough since I read it the first time that I could probably read it again.

Karen, I chose June 29th, but can't remember if I posted it. That's d2s birthday.

CG - Happy Birthday to your daughter Kelly! And good luck landing the role! How exciting to have a thespian in the family!!

That's a lovely photo nal, as are all of your beautiful photos.

Greg, you need help.

Karen - I guessed June 20, but please feel free to deliver sooner than that! Besides, that's the day of our anniversary party, and I know I'll be too busy to check the site for news. So go ahead and have the baby anytime now!!!

HI all! What an interesting couple of days here with the tag thing - good idea Glinda! Sorry I missed my tag - next time, hopefully.

I've been tagged again so thought I'd try to think up 5 different things...

1. I nearly died when I was 22.
2. I rode a motorbike for 5 years, but it was a car accident that nearly did me in.
3. I was a marching girl (can't believe I admitted that)
4. My husband and I had spent More...

For those of you who are new to this site and don't already know, nal is a great photographer. Have a look at her wonderful photos on

Greg, the standard of your jokes is definitely falling - in my humble opinion..

Sorry Suzy.

Ian, I notice no one has answered your request. That's because it is a tough one.

Ok, riddle time - answers to the blushing inbox please!
When you were in your early school years, you can remember when you had a CRUSH on that cute girl sitting nearby. The only problem comes when you say something stupid and she SLAPS your face. Try to get from CRUSH to SLAPS in 5 steps by making a word each time.

Suzy - I think maybe you might be the one who recommended The Physician to me a couple of years ago on this Sudoku site. Someone from Oz recommended it in a discussion of favorite books. I bought it and put it in my unread book library and am finally reading it! I"m really enjoying it.

Hi, Fiona! Assuming you are allowed to switch the letters around anyway you want but only change one letter each time, I have done the puzzle in 4 steps. I am posting my answer in your inbox. Ciao! Jane

Hi all, I've been tagged by Linda from Pioneer. A little bit about me:

1. I enjoy running, and completed my second marathon in April this year.
2. I'm a bit of a computer nerd, but I'm trying to tone that down a bit as I get older :)
3. I spent nine years in the Royal Australian Navy, More...

Ok, ok. Fiona has set me straight. We are NOT allowed to switch the order of the letters. Hmmmph! So it does take 5 steps.

2:05, all.

I've just finished watching a programme about sustainable fishing in the South Pacific. Sobering watching. I had no idea about some of the methods used to catch fish, particulary the long line fishing method where some of the lines reached over a 100 miles and the huge purse?sp? nets which are used More...

Oh Ian!!!

This from a chap who said he woke up Anne at 6:00 in the morning laughing????

I'm devastated!

Well Ian, payback time. This one is for you....

An elderly couple is vacationing in the West. Sam always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots. Seeing some on sale one day, he buys them, wears them home, walking proudly.
He walks into their hotel room and says to his wife, More...

Thanks a lot Chris. Oh, well, I'll do it again.
1) I'm painfully shy.
2) my favorite color is blue
3)I hate Brussell Sprouts with a passion
4) I got into college as a minority student, though I am caucasian.
5) I've always been a tomboy.

3. Have lived in Algeria and Sarawak before Oz.

Good maEn to everyone!

Wow! Look at the wing-span on that fella'! Thank you!

Loved it Greg, there is hope for you yet.
I must go now and run around like a mad thing with my fellow geriatrics at 'Heart Moves'.

Suzy, I wasn't trying to get "expert" opinion, just how different people view the matter.

For example, we have somewhat the same history and legacy with Amerindians, but there is one big difference. Amerindians look enough like "us" that any who choose to assimilate More...

I loved Sweeny Todd, Greg! Mrs Lovell is a great role!
she gets the news she wants to hear.
Kelly!

Ian, our native animals feed at dawn and dusk, sleep during the day. Our native people hunted at dawn and dusk and rested during the heat of the day. When food became scarce in an area they moved on. They did not have alcohol!
White man came and decimated their food supply, introduced diseases More...

Morning - just enjoying a cuppa while reading the posts, having dispatched a very grumpy 4T to school. I've been up for ages, but need the cuppa to recover from the grumpiness!!!

Greg, Happy Birthday to your daughter. I hope she gets the part. I enjoyed both your jokes, although I had heard the second one before.

Haven't had a chance to be here for a few days. Hubby had a heart cath, he had a blockage so they put in a stent. He has to rest this week then starts rehab next week.
Had an Aunt who is 80 come up from Texas for an all school reunion on Saturday, so have had company for 5 days now. We also More...

Kelly,
Hope you get the part you want.

to you,
to you,
dear Kelly (CG's daughter)
to you!
May your special day be wonderful with a and lots of More...

And Greg, if you come to Australia I will cook you the lambs fry (liver) and bacon, onions and gravy. We both like that and had it the other night! We cooked Keith his lamb chops!

Sounds very familiar, June. Thank you for that perspective.

pretty birds - I saw a bird, I hadn't seen before last week - need to look it up in my bird book -- had a white body w black wings/top line.

Yikkees, Chris tagged me. Hmmmm
1. I play piano, guitar, organ, recorder, chanter, harpsichord, in that order of proficiency.
2. I sing marvelously (in the shower of course!)
3. I have a mischievous chatty handsome grandson.
4. I have taught for 33 years (31 in LA unified school More...

I don't think it was a woodpecker -- didn't have the beak for it -- wonder if it was a dark-eyed Junco -- but kind of late in the season -- it was a good size bird and I thought had fuller white on it's belly -- not jumping out at me from my book

I "had" a Golden Eagle(Aquila chrysaetos) once, as much as anyone can "have" one of these magnificent raptors. It was the school mascot, and my job was to feed and take care of it, in my parents' garage. (Footnote: it was a sort of weird chick magnet...."want to see my More...
