Sudokuaholics Anonymous 7

Good morning again Heidi

Yeah, I know about the "thanks" bit. She sent her message to me twice... 50 minutes apart. What's up with that, Suzy? It was a nice message, but I didn't need two of them.

I LOVE that Giraffe avatar, June!!!

Does the judge have anything to do with jury selection Heidi? Here there are certain criteria that gets you excused, ie being pregnant, and the selection is done by the legal teams. (challenges etc)
If the Judge knows you well and all the farm commitments you would think he could be an extra good friend.

The giraffe was my first avatar from a photo I took when in Africa a couple of years ago.

Morning rush - did not too Heidi!

June, for the trial I went to, before the challenges people's 'excuses' were evaluated by the magistrate. He didn't let many of them off!

Suzy, Sharon got off when she was pregnant, SIL was carer for her Mother and got off.(That was to be a six week trial)

I've never done Jury duty in Kentucky, so I don't know how it works here. I did do Jury duty in New Jersey (a nasty murder trial... the jury deliberated for less than an hour.. guilty) and the judge was prominent in the selection of jurors.
This Judge knows that I am capable of doing whatever needs to be done. He also knows that I always make time to do what is right. I have spent time in his courtroom helping people who I knew were falsely accused of crimes. They were acquitted.

I have been called twice. Once when the family were under school age and the second time the jury was selected before they came to me. Now I would just go and get my haring checked. I am borderline for a hearing aide so sometimes miss part of conversations. Age will soon be a factor for me anyway.

Hi everyone. Just stopped in between typing Mitchell's homework and baking brownies.

Have to update the TOPP count or Bean might not forgive me.

I really should go finish feeding before it gets dark.

Did Bean actually get one on her own?

Suzy.... Is your avatar a dried apricot?

I've only been called once and it was like your second one June - the jury was selected before they got to me.

Empty house!

Tami, you really need to buy Mitchell a typing tutor - says me who has 2 and can't get Ebob to use them!!!

Snort! You guys will have to stop making me snort. It is most unladylike....

hi all. i am pausing in between much food making, church meeting , and stuff. i was going to pass out if i didn't get a break!

my isister and her family is coming over for dinner. i am still trying to get the saturday jobs done, and manage the kids. deep breaths mariana.

Breathing for you mariana.... my mother will be arriving in a few days and I am stressing too...

man, i just can't get ahead of the cleaning! my kids are sort of helpful, but mostly they just cause more messes. i need to hire some help! i can't stand to open a cupboard and not be able to see the back of it. i am ready to throw EVERYTHING away!!!

I am never going to get my thank yous done! I can't resist looking through the photo galleries. Vicki has some beautiful shots BTW.

ok, more breathing, then back to work. hope i don't go completely bonkers!

I cleaned out one shelf of my pantry this morning for the same reason Mariana.

I just clicked on a link because it reminds me of you relaxing with your singing - a complaint choir.... I think your choir probably sounds a lot better though!

Just popping in!
Hello June, Suzy, Mariana and Heidi...
Baking day for me - it's so fun with the snow coming down in heavy clumps outside.
Finished my Cheesecake and am now working on "holiday" breads for gifts. It's a recipe my step daughter, Melissa, came up with: Pumpkin spice bread with semi-sweet chocolate chips. Would have never put those 2 together, but it is delish!

Hoping to get some wrapping done after the breads come out while watching football and the snow fall.
Mariana - hope you can catch your breath and that your dinner is wonderful for everyone including YOU!

What an interesting combination Vici, I wouldn't have put them together either. Your step daughter makes up recipes! I thought all recipes came out of books or the computer.... hehe

Good Morning SA7, whew! what a weekend. Looks live everyone is well apart from being stessed from that C word. Nup not even going to think about that today. Need to do some ffuts around the house as it has been sadly neglected due to the boat and procrastination. Teresa is coming over this afternoon, she arrived back from WA at 5:30 this morning eeek better her that me.

Yea, Broni! Say "hi" to Teresa for me!
So one more weekend and the boat will be ready for sale? I hope so ...you have been working so hard and bless your help!
Back to the kitchen for me...

Will you have time to get in the spa today Broni?? Maybe Teresa will join you in there and you can both relax!

My day begins... I hope I can finally have a productive day! Since this is the room mum will be sleeping in I will be in here a lot getting it organised (it's not normally a sleeping room!) so might pop in and out.

Morning lovely SA7 people - once again haven't read up on previous pages and once again too much to do this morning and wasted too much time on Easy. Paperwork to do today - if I get myself moving on it, I'll be able to relax and enjoy SA7 for the rest of the week. Hope all is well.

Suzy... making up recipes is a blast. They don't always work, but when they do... I have had one of mine published..... a curried lamb dish.... that is to die for. The secret is lots of green Cardamom. The hard part is remembering exactly what you did, so it can be repeated.
Everyone but dogs is fed. I will have to get IH to feed hay to the cows tomorrow.... the big rolls, not 50 pound square bales, which he prefers to feed (cheaper to feed 3 of them than 3 3/4 ton rolls, but not as satisfying to cows) But that means that he'll be using my tractor.

Good Morning..

The kiddywinks here in WA finish up Thursday ( I think ) from School !!

and finally we are back up to normal fast speed on the NET !!!

Might even smile at THAT boy now !! hehe

Are you SURE that's not a dried Apricot???

the one time I was called up for Jury Duty (I got out of it, had to sign declarations etc to say why), was when #1 son was doing his Tertiary Enterence Exams..
The High School was some 6 ks away, other than me drive him to his exams, the only other way for him was to ride his bike, or catch the infrequent bus.

We used to be able to get out of Jury Duty because we ran a business. I was on Jury Duty once but got refused because it was a child abuse case and they knocked back as many women as they could especially the ones who looked like parents and Grandparents. I still think I would have been able to make my mind up from the evidence but didn't get a chance.

Hi Rolanda - glad you're back on fast speed.
Wish I could get my mind on that speed!
Work to do - gotta close down Sudoku or I'll keep coming back and get nothing done. TTFN

The silly thing about that Cyn is that it assumes men are less disgusted by child abuse than women - soooo not true!

I am hiding from the spiders. Phase 1 of my mum preparations is to get rid of the spider webs out back. The problem is that we had some beautiful golden orb spiders in the front garden a while ago. They appeared to disappear but we found an egg sac. Now I know where most of the babies went!!!

Rolanda, I'm glad the judge didn't think riding a bike to those exams was okay! It would have put your son at a significant disadvantage...
