Sudokuaholics Anonymous 9A

Welcome Theresa. This is a good place to just drop in for a chat with friends.

Welcome Theresa! Glad to have you join the crowd.
Got goosebumps, too, from Cyn and Suzy's stories. I always thought if I told the dream it wouldn't happen. Guess I'm wrong on that one!
Still pretty sore and carrying a mild headache. I get to see my acupuncturist tomorrow, so that should help A LOT...and thank you all for your kind wishes and hugs. You are all so loving and sweet.

Gail - thanks for the detailed update on your visit with Bill...I was all choked up and then really lost it when you told what Bill said about moving on. Good on him and hugs to you all.
...and what is this about Punchy Boy MISSING????
I didn't catch that earlier. You know this is flipping me out. I don't even still have your picture on my camera (sorry to say) - but I do have Punch's. You know I'm sending out angels to find that sweetie. I hope he's not trying to get to California.

Brenda - hoping Emily's birthday is special even though it involves getting back to school. Sending big birthday wishes her way!
Well, I've sat up as long as I can - need to lie down. Sending hugs and kisses to all!

Morning all!
Heidi, the latest breast cancer post is

color of bra, shoe size, the word 'inches' followed by a :((

So one of my fb friends posted: black 10 inches :(

Welcome Teresa!

Vici, I am glad you are able to see the acupuncturist so soon.

Gail, I missed the post about the missing kitty. I hope he comes home soon!

June, I hope Ken stays safe while away and that you have a good time at your ds.

Kids Day Out at the races today. The girls are singing so I will be there. Ally has 4 solos plus she will be up front for 5 of the Pride songs. That's the most she has ever done at one show. Luckily it is spread out over 4 hours.

I'm still confused as to what that has to do with Breast Cancer.

Theresa, welcome. This is a great place to come and have a chat or complain about something. We all listen very well. It usually makes you feel better.
I wish all my complaining would get rid of the cold. It is in the 30's today and should be back in the 80's on Saturday. We get some very crazy weather down here.

Heidi, no comments needed about the people being crazy down here also. That is a known fact.

Spoil sport.

It's actually warmed up to 23 ℉!!! AND the sun is shining!

It's an awareness thing Heidi.

Tami, the weather here has been crazy too. I think it's a world wide thing. Parts of Australia have been on flood watch while other parts have catastrophic fire warnings - as in if there is a fire it's going to be BAD.

Good Morning Everyone.
I hope that you are all well and happy as I have not had time to catch up.
Everthing thing is still rocking for Bella and me after not being on terra firma for seventeen days. Wish me luck in the shower hehe!
Have to go back to the boat today to get the rest of the gear so hope to be back later.

Welcome home Broni!
I was wondering when you were due back. I can't wait to hear about your holiday..

Good morning lovely SA people!!
Welcome Theresa - nice to see you here and please come back. This page is like family but a family that happily welcomes newcomers.
Broni - welcome back! I, too, have been wondering when you were due back. We missed you.
Gail - sorry about Punchy, can't believe it happened to Mo and now you. Fingers crossed that he comes back and at least he's not dealing with ice and snow like poor Sammi in France.
Vici - hope the acupuncture helps.

I know I've said this on FB and on easy but - we now have solar panels and are feeding power back into the grid!!

Thank you for all the welcomes. I hope to get to know you better as time goes on. Sorry to hear about the missing kitties. I do volunteer work at a cat rescue/sanctuary and have a fair number of my own cats. We lost three due to illness and old age last year. If a cat disappears it's worse because you keep hoping and waiting.

Good for you, Theresa. I work with a Collie Rescue group (Cedaridge Collie Rescue). I'm the one in the group who takes in the geriatrics and the ones with health issues that aren't adoptable. They have a permanent home with me. Some cousins work with a cat shelter/ sanctuary in Cincinnati.

Well there you go, Heidi and Theresa - you two have something in common. Isn't that lovely?
There's a lot of animal people here on SA.

Good maEn everyone! Glad to see so many posts!!!
Welcome Theresa!! Hope you can stay with us crazy folks!!
BTW, I see some are still posting on SA8, I thought everyone was posting on SA9A!???!?? Can someone please clarify for me?
Welcome back Bean!
Hope everyone is well, take care, TTFN

Suzanne - I think they're trying to get the posts up to 20,000. I feel bad that I haven't helped them. I looked to see what was happening though, because I'm a sticky-beak.

Our goal is 500 pages. We have quite a few to go, yet.

Theresa, lovely to see a new face in the place.

HE'S BAAAACK! Stop freaking Vici, gave him some good chin music last night :)

Heidi, the bra-size thingy is just a bit of fun, no relevance, all just to bring about breast cancer awareness by talking about b**bs etc.

Cyn, I am not sure if I resent/resemble the animal people reference earlier!

June, enjoy your time in this fair city next weekend.

Not so many Heidi..it is only 15 now...
This feels strange to be able to post twice here in a day... I have learnt to click on the comment tab BEFORE I write my post...SO MANY times I have writen a long newsy post and then found I can't submit it.

Gail I am so glad to hear that he is back...

I figured it was finally time to change my avatar.

Since it is so cold out, I figured I would use the picture of Ft. Lauderdale beach I took last year.

I am going to say good night. Back to krow tomorrow.

June...think I should change my biorhythms...they are completely up the creek...combination of drugs and heat...I hope it cools down a bit before you get here...it is really quite awful! Went over to MIL's in Brunswick last night...so much cooler over there...the benefit of living adjacent to that enormous green belt..Royal Park, the zoo etc... Back here amidst the 'heat banks' I MELTED!! [and our suburb has lots of trees & parks compared to some..]

Good night Tami... hope getting back to work isn't too much of a shock.

Gail!!!

I'm feeling a little depressed. IH told me that he was going out of town for 2 days, leaving at 6 pm this evening. At 8 pm, he came back in the door and announced that he isn't going until tomorrow morning. That gives me 1 1/2 days only.

Gail - glad he's back - and my comment should have read 'animal-lovers' not animal people, maybe?
Off to do some boring shopping but I'll have a coffee while I'm out, that makes it better.

I think both could work for most of us, CynB.

Well, I'm back and I've had to turn on the air-con so less power is going into the grid, darnit - I held out as long as I could. The idea is to use as little power in the hours of sunlight to get the maximum power back into the grid.

Gail, so pleased you cat is back home.
Bean I hope for cooler weather next week in Melbourne. Will be there all week till Ken comes down and we will fly home sometime between 25-27. That will give us one week till we leave for Egypt.
I will go to Belinda's tomorrow and help her do some jobs. it has been hard for her as she has had Laura for three weeks of holidays so has not got a lot done.

This is probably boring so you do not have to bother reading it.
I went to do the paperwork for the 'new' car. I could not take out the comprehensive insurance because my name was not on the 'old' policy for the 'ute'. They would give me a cover note till Ken gets back. Then when I went to pay the rego (runs out on 19th.) I was asked did I want to pay $90 a year for the personalised number plates with the previous owners intitials. No thank you. Well you will have to bring in the old plates. Ken has the car parked at someones place near the airport so I cannot get the plates.
Ken should get back on morning of 19th. so he can fix that. If he does not get back then he cannot drive the car (but I will be in Melbourne so that will be his problem!!

I just wish he would stay home sometimes.

Anyway while I was out I went and saw "It's Complicated". Enjoyed it and had a really good laugh! My kind of 'feel good' movie.
