Sudokuaholics Anonymous 9A

WOW...looks like my computer is going to let me post here again today...
I have finally caught up with reading.
I find the thought of Heidi being good somewhat unbelievable...
Healing vibes for you Broni...and you behave as well! ok?
Welcome home Rolanda.
Nola..flybyes are good...we miss you as well..
Julie ... so lovely to have you brightening up the page..
and now it is time to do 'stuff'...
Have a good day everybody...

Good grief...another TOPP!
Vici...thinking about you right now...Tim Tam's are on special this week and Lachie has just got back from shopping...I KNOW I shouldn't but what the heck..NOM NOM NOM... ha ha

I intentionally left the TOPP open for somebody. I'm glad you got it, Bean.

Haven't seen a comment from MizT for a few days. Hope you're feeling OK, MizT and no broken bones - or water pipes!

It's too late for Tami now, as she has school tomorrow. It's kind of late for Suzanne, too.

Heidi usually feeds the dogs this late - or later. Hope she's getting some help from you-know-who with the chores!

The site didn't refresh when I refreshed, so I didn't know you went on to the new page without me.

I had worked that much out Heidi...I knew that you would have been aware of what post you were at. Its very quite here today...I roasting a turkey breast with all the trimmings so I can take it over to my MIL tomorrow and reheat it...it is her 90th birthday. The wife of Pete's nephew said she would organise the family get together [heard how incapacitated I am at the moment] but i haven't heard anything...must chase them up.. Have a cake to make next...
Bye for now...

Congrats on the TOPP, Bean! So nice to see you here more than once a day!

One of these days, I need to find TimTams in the store to see if I think they're as good as others do (Bean, Vici, etc.)

Good for you, Bean! You're a great DIL! Roasted turkey breast with all the trimmings, birthday cake! Yummy!

I'm going to have to love you and leave you. (I have an early physical therapy appointment in the morning.) Good Night, ALL!

Hi everyone! I've been reading, but not posting for a while, though catching up with many on the other site. Hope you're all well and happy.
Heidi, wow, you've had an adventurous life! Hope the hand is better soon - I sure know about the itching a cast causes!
Went to see Mum and Dad on Sunday - my oldest brother was there too, so that was good. Took lots of books about places we travelled to, so spent a lot of time showing them the pictures and chatting about them. Dad looks very frail and Mum's memory is not so good, but they were cheerful and enjoyed hearing about our travels. I made a vegie slice (recipe from a magazine) and left it for Dad (Mum wouldn't even try it!)- Dad just told me it was delicious, so that's a bonus - maybe it'll put a bit of weight onto him...
Raining cats and dogs yesterday, but sunshine in between - should be good for the garden! We went to a new nursery the other day and bought lots of plants, but I haven't got around to planting anything.
We have a "hard rubbish" collection next week-end, so spent some time emptying the "big cupboard" - Rob got a beer kit for Christmas, and needs to find a dark place to set it up ...

Hi All....Heidi, Thanks for solving that posting mix up so quickly and bringing it over where it was meant to be....Now, that I've thanked you...PLEASE don't make me come to Ky and Spank you....LET THAT HAND HEAL FULLY, W/O YOU MESSING WITH IT OR YOU MIGHT NOT EVER BE ABLE TO HAVE FULL USE OF IT AGAIN....and yes, I was shouting because you don't listen to us girl! Seriously, Please take care of yourself.

Welcome back Rola, and glad your vacation was enjoyable. It enabled you to have a break and get rested too...wow.Families usually tire folks out trying to cram loads of stuff into one visit...glad you were able to have the time to rest while still having fun swimming in the deep ...it helps spread the relaxed feelings.
To all thanks for your continued love and support...I enjoyed my b/d celebration for Sully....good memories allow comfort to seep into special days and release the joy that was shared. Broni...hope you are finding that to be so concerning your wonderful time with JD.
Gail, You are right...this site does have all of the soap opera components...drama,teen angst, old folks moaning and whinging, drama filled days, boring days, anger, disappointments, s*xy stories, fun, sorrow, weddings, divorce....but ahhhh, we keep our hanky panky stuff kinda quiet..lol
Well, was going to comment on other things, but craft has found me...so just a loving shout out to the rest of you folk and my wish for speedy and complete healing for our sickies....no more doing a Heidi allowed Broni...just the Gails ! Peace!

Hi all, yes I am in Melbourne and it has been a cool day with showers. I have had a chat with Bean on the phone this evening until my son got home. Grandson has played with the Wii most of the day. Will take him to the movies tomorrow. Relaxing and reading a book (athough there was a lot of taking the washing in and out between showers)

Glad you've got the computer up and working June...
I just dropped bye to tell the folks that you have made it safely to Melbourne and chatting to you has left me, once again, impressed with your generosity...you give so much of yourself and do so much for your kids and grandies. I cannot imagine what it must be like to have a mum like you in the wings. I did it all alone. Didn't ever had anyone to help out when Lachie was young...

Welcome to our fair city June...pleased to see you brought the rain with you...

Yes Bean, not only generous with her own family but her Sudoku family as well. I can speak from personal experience when she housed and fed both Maz and me when Vici was here.

Hello Dag!

Hi everyone, I actually do not have school today. It is Martin Luther King, Jr. birthday. Not the actual day, just the day celebrated as a national holiday. Tomorrow is a teacher's only day. I will be in meetings and training all day, but at least I won't have to deal with the kiddies. I will be in school Wednesday and Thursday and I am taking Friday off the get ready for Mitchell's big day on Saturday.

I don't know if this affects anybody down under but I am including a link to the website that lists all of the recalled Tylenol, and other, products. The recall was recently expanded.

http://www.mcneilproductrecall.com/

It includes Tylenol, Motrin, Rolaids, Simply Sleep and St. Josephs Aspirin. If you have any of these products in your house, please check on them. I will be back later. Gotta go to the doctor to get my yearly check-up.

CynB, Yes I have heard of the case back when it happened! Thanks for the link. He gets to stay in australia?? this I have to read! 18 months in jail?? and they are not coperating with the USA to let Alabama retry him?

OK, being retired is a bit of double jeopardy, but only 18 months? this thing is many sided! Wonder what happens when he is released in Australia? Can never return to the USA?

Interesting, thanks for sharing this with me.

I havemised 5 pages, gee, does not pay to take a leave of absence hehehe. Typing is not comfy still, wrist complaines. Bad Wrist! Well, it did get hubby into the Kitchen twice to help chop veg! and to wash a heavy pan I cold not lift.

Waiting today to see if insurance has approved OT the doc ordered. I would like to go at least a couple times, let them showme what I can do at home.

Hugs and love to all who need them and I am out of here for today. Might try reading to catch up, do not need the limp wing for using the mouse, that is a good thing.

Lucky you, MizT. I am having an awful time with the mouse. I'm not used to using it left handed.

How long do the docs believe that your wrist will be laid up?

Good Maen everyone! Glad to see everyone here!! I missed 3 pages again this week. Been working on my jewelry making. Spent a lot of $$ on beads & other supplies last week. Made 4 necklaces & 3 bracelets. Easy to do when there is nothing on t.v. to watch!!
Heidi: get better soon!!! An elephant on your foot at 10 years old??? Yikes!!
MizT: good to see you here.
Hello also to TTT, Gail, Broni, Bean, June, Mamacita2, Julie, Judy, Nola (welcome back!) and anyone else I missed. Time to feed the dog, will try to be back later, TTFN everyone

Yes, Suzanne, an elephant. I went to a carnival with my aunt, and they offered elephant rides. As I was climbing up onto the howdah, the elephant took a dislike to me. I hadn't done anything to cause it. It reached back with it's trunk, grabbed me off it's back and threw me to the ground. It then stepped on my foot. The handler yelled at me, not believing that I had done nothing to the elephant to cause it. Now that I know more about elephants, I can understand what happened a little. I don't think it was anything personal. The elephant may not have been feeling well.... an abcessed tooth, arthritis, or some such thing, and was protesting having to work.

Happy Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (to the topsiders) He is a wonderful human to honor - taken from us too soon.
"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools."

Well, we now have a "Heidi" as well as a "Gail"!
to Julie's dad, Sully (RIP), JD (RIP), Cyn's Andrew, and Suzy's 3 sibs! Pheew!
Timtams on sale? Perfect timing with all these b'days!
Did I mention that Safeway now sells Timtams? I have taste tested them against a package Vdv sent me for Christmas...EXACTLY the same! This is both GOOD and BAD news!

Been thinking of all of you Melbournites (and June, too) as I started watching the early rounds of the Australian Open. So happy to see you got some rain and cooler weather (even though it suspended some play). It is very cool to recognize the city from personal experience as they pan over the city with aerial shots.

MzT - you take care of your wrist...and Heidi - put that splint back on!!!
Broni - you rest so your ribs heal. I broke a rib a couple of years ago - SSSSLLLLLLOOOOOOWWWW healing.
Geez...we need to open a hospital ward here. Julie can rehab! Good to see you back around.

Tami - enjoy your holiday!
We were going to go to see Avatar in 3D until I realized it was a holiday today - the matinees will be full. So we'll try it tomorrow.
Off to do paper work today. Tax time coming up and all.
Hugs everyone!

I only had the splint off for 1/2 hour!!!

Vici: sometimes the matinees are not too full, depends on what time you go...Going to pop off again to get some gninaelc and other ffuts done around the house.
Heidi: all I have to say about the elephant story is OUCH!!!
TTT: Hope you take some time to relax on your day off!! Give my love to the boys!! TTFN everyone!

Vici... I agree about Martin Luther King Jr. Truly a great man. Too bad so few people follow his teachings.

Good morning. I have the room with the computer.Easy to use if I wake during the night!.
Nice to see Rol&a back and please take care of your hand Heidi (and Tricia).
Going to take G'son to the pictures today. Alvin and the chipmunks.
Nice to see Julie as then I can catch up by raeding her comments!

I agree, Suzanne - but we have a very rainy day here...I imagine a lot of parents are carting their kids off to the matinee. This will be the first time I've gotten Mike to a movie theater since we were dating. He HATES going...so I can't convince him that the theater will be empty enough for his tastes.
Heidi - thanks for commenting on Dr. King. I am surprised no one (that I've noticed) has made any reference to him on Easy. I'm ashamed of our stateside folks for that.
June - enjoy your time at the movies with your G'son!

Hello, Everyone!

I must react to Heidi's story about the elephant. It's SOO much more than just having an elephant step on your foot. Wow! It reached up and lifted you off with its trunk and threw you to the ground!? Have you ever been able to be near an elephant again? (I know you worked in a zoo, but don't remember the specific animals who had the benefit of your presence there.)

Hello to Bean, Heidi, Judy, Mamacita, June, Gail, Broni, Tami the T, MizT, Suzanne, and V Vici!

I agree with Vici and Heidi about Dr. MLKing! Too bad we don't have many more people like him!

Heidi, I hope the full story about having chocolate dumped on you and your car is better than the elephant! And - what's this about being shipwrecked on a deserted island? Inquiring minds want to know!

June, hope you and your grandson enjoy Alvin and the Chipmunks! (How long is the movie?)

I wish we celebrated MLK Day here, not for the holiday, but for the great teachings of the man.

I wish more people here knew more of his teachings, too.
