Sudokuaholics Anonymous 9A

Could this be a topp? or are is my head fuzzled?

Nup just the brain!

Good afternoon - thought I'd spell it the right way lest we end up with another 'wongerful gooc hocolate'.
Broni - has warmed up a bit too much in the last few hours but still much better than the last few days. You should be getting plenty more bay breezes at your place than I do. Still thinking healing thoughts for Teresa's SIL.
Suzy - pleased 'Eye of the Tiger' and TKD went well.
Tami - happy things are still looking good for your Dad.
Just paused 'The Boat that Rocked' on IQ so must go back to it. That's my era, although so far (half way) the story's not grabbing me but the music - that's different. Birthday coming up, think I'll hint to the family for the soundtrack. Hinted for Susan Boyle for Xmas.
That reminds me, I have a 6 stacker CD player in my car and about 2 months ago I took all my CD's out of the car to sort them out and haven't put any back!!! Talk back radio is great and I mostly listen to that in the car but sometimes I just want to hear music - and of my choice.

Liked the movie by the end - ROCK & ROLL!!! (Sorry for shouting but they did!)
Yayy! The neighbour just invited us over for a bbq, don't even have to cook dinner.

Hey Cyn, should copy your CD's for the car, better still get Itunes and download them on the pooter.

Broni - the Ipod has been usurped for someone else's car. Was originally in mine. Can't do much about it since I gave it to him for Christmas last year. Maybe I'll get one this year - something else for my wish list.

Cyn, just get Itunes then you can copy it onto CD and use genius it is great!

Heidi,you reckon you scare them away????

I must. Where is everyone?????

Broni... I love hearing people rave about Mac systems.

Hi all,
Another very hot day here,it was 36c at work in the shaded area outside.I came home,put the A/C on and fell asleep on the lounge.So nice to feel cool again.Today will be similar.

Good Maen everyone! Hope all's well. Hey, Nola, send some of that warm air my way!! It's been FREEZING here (7 degrees F to 15F yesterday) Today is 28 so far, expecting some white stuff (again) this weekend.

It is hard to imagine being so cold up north when it is so hot down south.The snow would be lovely to see!

OOPS!! Noticed Suzy's Birthday!! Hope you have a lot of great things happening to you today!!!! Enjoy your special day!!

I have to go now.Catchya all later.

Morning everyone!
I have no idea why I'm awake so early. I was so tired driving home last night that I was lucky Ally was in a talkative mood or I might have fallen asleep on the road. We had a great night. I love watching little kids having so much fun! Families everywhere, a fantastic local school band and choir, a really nice night.

Suzy, hope you are doing lots of things togay to celebate your birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!(I want to shout that to the world)

I think everything is catching up with me. I think I slept most of yesterday, got eight hours straight last night and cannot seem to wake up this morning again!

Suzy

Hope you have a wonderful birthday. I forgot you share a birthday with Mitchell.

My mom talked the doctor into keeping my dad until tomorrow morning. She can't leave him alone and she needs to do a little gnilaenc and ghippohs. Needs food in the house. Dad is a little unsteady on his feet and we don't want another fall.

Zusy!

Hi Tami wish Mitchell a from all his Sudoku Aunts.
Glad to hear your dad is improving.

My oldest child is on the verge of being a teenager. I have 7 more hours until his birthday, although down under, he is already 13. He has been counting down for weeks. He is so excited to be a teenager.

Broni, sorry I missed you. I did not pay attention after my last post.

Party time!

Suzy. That's why you can't sleep, you're too excited!

Mitchell, for the next two days! Have fun during your next phase of life, but be sensible too. Remember, your parents are the same ones you've always had, they didn't suddenly become stupid and now not know anything! Heed their words for they are wise.

Gonna grab some of that SA magic if I may. Was woken up this morning by a phone call from Bill. He's having a neighbour take him to the emergency unit, the waterworks are playing up again.
I asked him if he wanted me to come over, he assures me he'll be fine, but of course I have already checked out flights!

You got it dag, keep us informed please.

Got the vibes going out to Bill for you Gail. The vibes on Sudoku work wonders. He will be feeling better in no time.

Oh, no. Not Bill, too. I'm sending all the good vibes I can to him. and .

Hi everyone, it is cold here also. Rain and sleet today, gray and windy, not a good day.

I just finished wrapping gifts that go to Christmas at my sister's house a week from today ( saturday) Next is to buy and cook up food to take with. Then on Sunday, another party, still must wrap those gifts and cook up some foods. This Sun day one is the hardest for me to find much I can eat from the proposed menu. they want finger foods and are having all the things I cannot eat. I will make one mini quiche kind of things to take with lots of veggies in them, to share, then make up a plate for myself of what I can eat. I can do this.

My hips are doing so much better since the injections to them. I have really improved my speed in walking. What once took me over 15 minutes to walk, today was done in less than 10. I have had to add considerable to my route to get a 15 minute walk. Fifteen minute is about my limit at a time fore hips hurt, but I do it twice a day, to get my 30. Then there are strength exercises, and exercises for my back and hips, takes a lot of time, but I am seeing improvement. I am able to be out and about more and enjoy doing things again. Cuts into my computer time considerably, plus Christmas stuff and I have been reading a long series of books. Good thing to do on a cold rainy day, curl up with green tea and a good book hehehe.

Hope all are well and everyone if getting ready for Christmas.

Hugs and love to all

Gail, wishing a speedy recovery for Bill, hope all goes well. Safe travels if you go.

Good morning lovely SA people.
Oh dear, more health problems - good healing thoughts to Bill, Bernie, MizT - glad you're seeing some improvement.
On a lighter note, a big Happy Birthday to the lovely Suzy and to Mitchell, the teenager (Gail - you said it well). Hope you both enjoy your special day.

Gail and Cyn, don't you both know that it is a right of passage to "know" that your parents are stupid? My older brother put it the best: when the kids are little, you are like the supreme being who knows everything; when they are teenagers you know absolutely nothing and are the stupidest people alive; eventually they realize that maybe mom and dad do know something.

Yes, Tami, we're just warning you about that middle bit. Sometimes it doesn't last too long but they DO eventually recognise that parents are OK and have their uses - babysitting, storage of unused but pre-loved and don't-want-to-let-go items, or a haven to escape to if the going gets tough! But somewhere in there, they do acknowledge that you've been great parents and they do love you - and that makes it all worthwhile.

One of my kids even came up to me when she turned 18 and apologised!

My daughter apologised when she had kids of her own - the ultimate revenge!!

Mitchell. You know, now that you're a teenager, you should be more responsible. You're only 3 years from driving.

(If THAT doesn't scare Tami, I don't know what will!)

Good Evening, SA9! Sorry I missed yesterday - and barely here today. Too much to do, and just back from 2 1/2 hour (each way) trip to my sister to get hair cuts.

Heidi - sorry to hear that the tooth has died, although the pain is gone. How is your back today? How are Ouima and Vibes doing?

Rolanda and Peter - hope you enjoyed Fleetwood Mac! Thinking positive thoughts for your Mum!

June - hope you had a great Christmas party! Positive vibes for your friend!

TamiTT - hope your Dad is doing better! Positive thoughts & prayers for him, Bobbi and you!

Suzy - congrats to Ally and her first in a junior league bowling! Congrats to and Pride for all the good cheer they spread! I hope blonde Pride girl continues to improve!

It's good to hear that Josh is on the mend.

Liz, be careful with your holiday eating - just one or 2 bites of the things you love and SAVOR the taste. I, too, have fought a battle with weight gained after thyroid surgery. It's too many years, and a continuous struggle. Good luck! Feel better!

Sending positive vibes for Judy's continuing treatment!

Sending more positive thoughts for Cyn's sister!

Loads of prayers and positive thoughts to the women and men looking for a cure!

More prayers and positive thoughts to Manny, Brenda's friend and Teresa's SIL!

Thoughts, wishes and love to everyone mentioned, the anonymous ill people who weren't mentioned, and all of the well people too!

If I have forgotten anything, I apologize & send positive thought for a happy holiday season to everyone!

I have at least 2 more pages to read here - may never get the end of SA8 read! I apologize for missing so much information!
