Sudokuaholics Anonymous 8

I've been running around all morning, and still haven't had my morning tea.

Another surprise TOPP!

My scuba mask arrived today. It's wonderful. I actually have 20-20 vision with it! It looks good, too!

I put a picture of it on my page.

Since nobody else is posting here today, I might as well vent some frustration.
I have been arguing with eBay and PayPal lately. PayPal finally had an answer for me. I have been unable to access PayPal from eBay for the last 5 days. That makes it difficult to buy stuff. EBay has been denying that the problem existed at all. It's been as much fun as beating my head against a brick wall. Today a PayPal rep. told me that there is a glitch in the system involving the compatibility with the latest Mac software. Mac owners all over the country are having this problem. They are franticly working to fix it. I love it when people DON'T dismiss me, and actually pay attention to my concerns.

Heidi, I do hope you get your pay pal problems corrected. sorry you lost out on some good stuff the last 5 days. Me I know nuthin about eBay, think if I learned I might get myself in trouble there.

Oh, I lost out on nuttin'. I can access PayPal directly, just not through eBay.

Well.... gotta go to the grocery store. The pantry and fridge are kinda empty.

Happy hunting Heidi, it is nice to re provision the pantry.


Is Gath on vacation? I could understand his not approving an avatar over the weekend, but this is Monday, and still not approved. Hope to get it approved and ready for Cathi when she gets back.

Good morning all. Pleased the tree fell the 'right' way for you Tricia.
Pleased you sorted out the Paypal Heidi.
I could do with Col here too. And I would not take advantage!
Finished the puzzles so will go back to bed for awhile.

Morning all!
My cold has taken hold - just when I am 'on' all day! Oh well, I'll do the best I can.

News story for the day.. I haven't done one of those since I started prac... a one week old puppy got flushed down a toilet - and survived!

Funny thing happened then. I ctrl-V'd and a paragraph on the composition of air showed up. I guess I forgot to ctrl-C on the link. Since I don't think you'd be interested in the composition of air I changed it back...

Well, I won't be going to get food for a while. Another thunderstorm has arrived. I just gave Dennis his tranks, but they'll take a while to work.

Hello all,Can't stay,hope you have a good day/night.Sorry you aren't well Suzy!! Here is an apple for the teacher to keep the Dr away.
Bye.

I didn't forget about posting, but my pooter was not working for a few days. Had a man in today and he fixed it. It had something to do with my password. How is everyone. Weather is very hot about 93 degrees. Summer is here to stay until Oct.

This storm is getting ugly. I'm going off line.
The tranquilizers are NOT working on Dennis.

Hello everyone! Back from Long Island. Meghan is in Zurich. She'll be leaving there tomorrow morning to fly on to Turkey.

Have severe thunderstorm warnings with hail at the moment. Nothing has happened yet though. Maybe it will blow over.

I have to catch up on everything!

Hope everyone is well. I'll try to catch you later. Have a great day!

We're having a break in the storm.
My patio umbrella is up in a tree.
Dennis is finally asleep. Let's hope he stays that way 'cause another wave of storms is due to hit soon.

8 planets and 1 subplanet cut out of cardboard ready for year 7 today. Now lets hope it stops raining for long enough for them to play with them in the fields!

Heidi, I couldn't help it. I know I would be upset if it was me, but the picture of a patio umbrella up in a tree made me smile! How rotten am I?!

Suzy, I hope your kids get to play outside. That is always fun.
Suzanne, I have already been tagged twice. I posted my 5 responses a few days ago on easy. What could I post that you don't know??

Heidi, had the same thing happen twice, last year and year before, except the umbrellas flew up and then bounced along the ground until the ribs were adequately broken, no trees in that direction to catch them. I do not have a patio umbrella this year.

The umbrellas were not opened at the time of those storms, either.

Suzy I had seen the puppy clip poor little thing.
Heidi might be interested in this clip
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/8100953.stm especially as she is experiencing severe thunderstorms

Can someone explain to me why I don't see my posts on easy from last night??????
TTT: Didn't see your post either, will have to double check!!

TTT: Double checked & didn't find it!!!

Suzanne.... The posts on Easy are only from today. You will have to look on yesterdays Easy to see yesterdays posts.

A previous umbrella actually flew over our house, landing in a crumpled heap in the front yard. I'm just confused as to how this umbrella got up there. We had no wind to speak of.... just sheets of rain coming straight down, and lots of thunder and lightning. It was a slow moving storm.

And MizT.... the umbrella was NOT open.

Thanks Heidi! I tried to resize the avatars you sent me using shrinkpictures.com (50 pixels) and it didn't resize them right. Is it because of the original shape of them or did I do something wrong?

Brenda... thanks for the link. That was deja vu all over again. I haven't lost a bunch like that, just one cow and one steer. With the cow, it was weird... she was standing next to a creek and the thunderstorm was 20 miles away. It actually carried all that way through the water. I wouldn't have believed it if the Vet hadn't confirmed lightning strike as the cause of death. The steer was standing in the creek when he got a direct hit.

Suzanne.... The avatars I sent you were already sized to 50 pixels. all you have to do is submit them.

Is that working for you, Suzanne?

ok, Heidi, sorry, they showed up different sized on my computer and when I submitted them, I got an error message saying they were not the right size. I'll try again!!

TTT: Found your post on easy, and you're right, there isn't much about either of us that we don't already know!!

VERY strange. I know I sized them to 50 pixels square.
I left them on your page, and you were able to submit a couple of them already.

Yeah, but these 2 were 68x56 and 100x58. I tried to resize them with shrinkpictures.com and they were still not accepted. No big deal, ok? I appreciate your help.

I have a temporary fix on eBay. PayPal had me download Firefox, and go to eBay on that instead of Safari. I don't like it anywhere as much, but it does allow me to pay with PayPal.

By the way Heidi, saw the photo of the scuba mask! How cool, didn't know they could do that with prescription lenses!

Which ones were they? I can try to resize them if needed.

just passing..

YEA!!! the Brick Paver Man has made it to our house..
only a week and a half later than he said he would be here.
Not really his fault.. the previous job, a team effort, didn't start on time.
No more sand ~ once he has finished !!!
the Patio Garden Makeover is almost completed, unfortunately not before I go to China!!!

I know, Suzanne. I didn't know that could be done, either. I was looking on eBay for a new mask and discovered them.

But Rolanda... think of all the pleasure you will have with your garden when you get back home!!!

HEY!!!! That was post #9999!!!!!!
