Sudokuaholics Anonymous 7

More 'wonderful' weather for you Australians. Hope it doesn't get as bad as it sounds for anyone.

Sunny and warm here at the moment, which is surprising as it is school holidays this week.

Did anyone watch '4 CORNERS' tonight...
I gather from the number and the timing of the comments that maybe nobody did...
Time line of events from Friday 6th onwards...devastatingly compulsive viewing...very distressing.

This link will take you to the show to watch it on line....for people with unlimited downloads..it is 46' long.

Good Maen Sudokuland!


I am having my coffee and reading the posts left overnight, page and a half to go now.

I now have Skype! anyone who wants to share, could you private message me your skype names? All set up and no one to talk to me.

Al set me up late last night, but I had a headache to bad to want to talk OR to clean my bedroom for viewing hehe. I got it web-cam clean this morning, only the parts that show were straightened and neatened hehehe you should NOT see my desk or my vanity ( they are behind the camera).

JUNE, when I have a tissue or something put lint all over my clothes, I tumble them in the dryer for 5 minutes to collect the lint, then I hang them out to dry.

Once upon a time, my washer had a flow through water filter, and all such lint and tissue donations were deposited there. Several years ago, I searched all the stores for another such washer. I was told by salesmen who never washed clothes in their lives, "Oh those are no longer on washers, they did not work." BULL FEATHERS! Manufactures saved a few $$$ leaving this off. I was told over and over again, "The lint will come off in the dryer, you do not need that filter in the washer.". I got strange looks when I told them I hang most clothes on the line.

ROLANDA, is cistern the water tank on the back of the toilet fixture? I hope boy1 is safe and just a bit inconsiderate in not phoning.

SUZY, yes, you can save youtube clips, but I think it takes some software to do it. I know that Al is saving things now, cause some of them are being taken down from YouTube one for reason or another. He saves to hard drive first, then moves them to DVDs later. If they can move to DVDs they should be able to move to a memory stick. Not sure about other music players, for some, you would need additional software to convert formats.

Al is still asleep, so I will ask him later just what is needed, if you still need answers then. OH, I see that Becky sent you an answer, hope that helped you. Please let me know if you still need Al's advice.

VIV, Hope you do not get floods sweetie! May the rain move off to where it is needed.

Just had a lovely Skype chat with MizT. Now have got to go and do ffuts.

BRENDA, thanks for the chat, it was nice to see your smiling face and hear that crisp British accent. Skype, gotta love it!

OK, more of you have skype, sets get together while my room is still clean! AND while I have a slim chance of remembering how to do this hehe.

everybody. Woke up this morning with the headache back.
MizT.... sent you a PM with my Skype name. Give me 15 minutes or so, please.

Oh how I wish I had Skype ...but I wouldn't have anyone to help me get started anyway...oh woe is me... I HATE TO BE LEFT OUT!!!!!
Sorry for the vent before the Good Morning greeting....Hope you all have a great day...and no problem here really...just am nosey and want to be a part of everything at times....

Mamacita, If you have a webcam, skype is really easy to install.

Heidi, thank you for the avatars for my mom. I will try to take care of it later for her. I have to grade some papers so I will be back later.

Tami.



This is my second attempt. The first vanished into thin air.

Another new calf!!! Another heifer. That makes 11 females, 5 males. I hope the rest of the cows have bull calves.

Did I scare everybody away???

Excuse my ignorance Heidi, but I assume bull calfs are more valuable than females

If you are raising cattle for beef (like Heidi) you prefer bully calves. For a dairy farmer little heifers are better.

Thanks for that June. I forgot that Heidi was beef cattle rather than dairy.

I have not installed Skype but I do have a webcam using live MSN and using my normal Email addy.
Good morning good friends. I have finished all the puzzles. If anyone here does the jigsaws the cherry blossom is at my front door.
Might go back to bed for an hour.

HEIDI, I think you still have to "accept me" fore you will be on my contact list. You still are not there. It was good to see you on skype, thanks for the chat.

I HAVE accepted you, MizT. That's how come I was able to call.

It was great talking to you, too.

The dogs are locked up, and Robert is busy cutting up the big limbs in the yard. There's probably a weeks worth of work in the yard only.

Morning all!
Rolanda - any news from your son?
Brenda - glad to see you back!
MizT - thank you for the youtube info. Those flow through filter things are still on Aussie machines. I got a shock when I got an Australian machine and found one - had never used a machine with one in it before!

Heidi, when I read your comment about wishing for bull calves it reminded me of parents with a number of girls trying 'one more time' for a boy!

Good morning everyone.
We had a restful day yesterday after working so hard the previous 4.Went down to Southport where Renae had an acupuncture appoint.Met up with my sister and had a coffee.Did a little food shopping and also bought a new blouse and skirt.
Off to lunch with Renaes inlaws today and prob go home tomorrow.Starting to miss Hubby and my dogs.
I hope all are safe now from the fires and floods,and only bull calves from now on Heidi.

Hope you are not tooooo wet, and definitely hope it didn't flood where you are Viv!

just passing thru...
It is watering morning...have until 8am to finish giving my plants a drink...will need a nap after that....catch you all later..

OK, I am not doing something correctly. the only person I have been able to get into my contact list if Brenda. Heidi, you are still not there and neither is my sewing buddy who tried to contact me.

Oh well, sooner or later, I shall figure it out, I hope.

Morning SA7, hope you are all well and safe.
Back to D&D today, whoo hooo!

It might help if I go back and read the "Welcome to Skype" e-mail I received, ya think?

Well, I clicked the magic button and my Skype contacts list updated itself. the button I clicked had nothing to do with contacts either. Oh well, they are there, and that is what I wanted hehe.

HI BRONI, hope today is a good day with D&D.

Bean, did all your widdle plants get a drinkie-poo of water this morning? Enjoy your nap, you deserve it.

Nola, have a safe trip home, hope you enjoyed your stay at daughter's house.

Heidi, how did you add your photo to Skype? I have looked and looked, and so far have not found that page. I feel so NEW at all this.

Morning Bean and Broni

Tee hee MizT.

Heidi, never mind, I found it.

Morning SA7.
Has not stopped raining here yet.
It is just awful, so dark, the rain is bucketing down and the wind is going every which way.
I wish it would go South.

THREE MORE LAMBS!!!! I still have to catch and tag them.

Don't we all, VViv.

We have had over 4 inches overnight!!

Empty house... I think... he has come back 3 times for things he forgot... car is reversing...

Yay! Empty house!
