Sudokuaholics Anonymous 6

Oh yeah! Chalk me up another one, Suzy...WooooHooooo!

hello ladies, and RR!
mammacita- i am so glad to hear about the little angel. what a relief. hope you now get the rest you need to get better quick.
heidi-i don't know how you do it taking care of your menagerie while feeling so ill! i'm glad you are able to get some rest in though and hope you continue to feel better.

the first i heard about my friend alison joining was gail telling you all to be on your best behavior if she visited here! i laughed and laughed! she just had twins and has her hands full, so i was suprised she joined up. her blog is the best i have ever read..www.alison-thinkpink.blogspot.com she is hilarious.

Hello, y'all. Today is a beautiful day in Ruby, SC.

I got an e-mail last week from a fellow who wants to start a paid subscription sudoku site in the US. He wants to have puzzles where people can ask questions and others can answer on the puzzle. He envisions members forming communities, principally around cities, who will get together and discuss sudoku. Can you imagine that?

well, i like a puzzle or two a day, but i'm just not that into it. really, this place is all i need. i think that guy missed the boat ruby. did you tell him your sudoku heart has already been taken?

Morning all!

Ruby, what did you tell him?

An Aussie 'morning to ya all! Sun just peeping over the horizon and not a cloud in the sky!

Imagine that, a sudoku oriented cyber community, how unique hehehe

Morning Suzy, sleep well? You are up and online early.

It got hot enough here once again we needed AC in the afternoon. Usually this late in September we can make it through the day. sun is just heating up the house by afternoon.

Stella
Good luck with your trip to the doctor. I hope it turns out to be something minor that can be fixed/will clear up soon.

Is Max like my girls - well enough to play sport, but too sick to go to school? At least they try that anyway, it doesn't work...

Morning June and MizT. I've probably missed you now! I was off writing a long overdue email to my friend who makes the jewelery.

The sun is right in my eyes at the moment, it's about to go over the patio roof which will make typing and reading much easier!

Some days it is getting very warm here MizT, but not hot enough for air conditioning yet - if we had air conditioning!! This morning though I can see my lawn mowers breath on the air... It seems she has been doing too good a job and has given herself a tummy ache. She is looking a bit better this morning but I am keeping an eye on her to make sure she doesn't do the colic things....

Hi Suzy,I have only three little pig left now. They are growing big ,round and fat. We come from a dairy and beef area. There's a beef property down the road that have a few orphan calves every year so we buy three or four every year. We buy a 'wet nurse' cow and she adopts a couple of the calves.The other couple I hand rear.[they keep the grass down] When the dairy cows start calving there is to much new milk for the calves so we collect it then buy a few piglets to grow out.

eaa, is pork like lamb/mutton? That is, totally different if you let the pig grow up before slaughtering? I've never thought about that before.

I'm awake for a little while. My body tells me it wants to go back to sleep, though. I may just do my feeding chores early so I can get lots of sleep in one chunk. THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!!!! I have so many projects I want to do, and no energy to do any!

Heidi, I can imagine with all you have to do on an average day that it would be difficult to find the energy for extra projects right now. Did the doc give any indication of how long this will last?

Good Morning SA6, hope you are all well.
Good to see Rayray posting again and Heidi just accept your projects will have to wait until you are healthy and happy.
Bella woke me up early again but took me ages to catch up on you chatty lot.

Pork Is nothing like lamb it is a white meat and the crackling [skin] is delicious if done right,

I meant does old pork taste different to young pork eaa... So do little piglets get to grow into pigs before they go to the sty in the sky, or, like lambs, are they sent off before they become tough and stringy...

That's where Been has Bean for so long - excavating in SA6 !!!
Gail: Thanks for reading the jokes.
I feel shattered this evening

Poor Rayray. I wish I could give you a hug You need one.


I THINK what Suzy is asking is..... Well, with sheep, there's lamb and mutton. With cattle there's veal and beef. With swine is there ONLY pork?
There is also suckling pig, but that isn't a standard type of meat. Pretty much, pork is pork. A younger animal tastes a lot like an older animal. Nobody would eat old boar, unless they had a taste for really strong, gamy, meat, but there is no separate category by age.

Thanks Heidi... I just found it really strange that I hadn't thought about pork in those terms before. I felt a little bit like a kid who thinks milk comes in bottles and not from cows...

Morning Rayray,
I haven't had a chance to read your jokes from yesterday. My connection speed has dropped to nearly zero again. I'll try to get back to yesterday's easy when/if it speeds up again..

Susy Sorry I misunderstood. Ham and bacon is also 'pork' and that is a grown out a bit more .piglet or sucker, weaner or slip, store or poker, baconer and last a backfatter[chopper].

Morning DUGs...and Rayray!
What's all this babbling about piggies??
I believe I'm related to "Pig" (oink-oink)! LOL
Heidi - keeping positive thoughts for you - I can only imagine how frustrated you are with all you have going on at your place.
My thought is your body (or the Spirits that Be) think otherwise for you. Easy on ya, girlfriend!

Is that "Pig" on "Pearls Before Swine"? or do you mean generic pig?

You have the cutest piggies there, Miss Heidi! I expect I resemble the one in the mud most right about now...I'm covered with paint (AGAIN!) and desparately need a shower.
Catch you all a bit later -

Well, I am more confused than I was a few minutes ago!

Mariana, thanks for the heads-up about Alison's blog...I can envisage more lost pooter hours reading 'Think pink'!

Just stopping by for a minute before heading off to fling food as y'all say.

to SA6 Rayray. May I ask why you feel shattered?

Eea, love cracklin's. Used to eat them all the time while growing up.

Gail, you can't be any more confused than I am. I live in that constant state.

Well, off to the dreaded. See you guys later.

I love the term 'backfatter' eaa!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Becky, don't do it, it's not worth it. You know that as soon as you've finished, you'll only have to start again!

You've just reminded me to feed the machine! Evil, nasty reminder that one....

Going into the city today with D#3. She is in the middle of school holidays and I want to check out the cafe that we are meeting at on Sunday for Viv's gathering.
Catch you this arvo.
No stuff for me today, avoidance is all important.

Suzy, I hope you don't call anyone a backfatter, That would be a huge insult. A big fat pig that has past its use by date and fit only for the sausage factory. Hehehe.

Everyone on SA is in perpetual "dreaded" hehehe...kind of like the movie "Groundhogs Day"...only not as much fun!

eaa! ...and Gail calls me her "silly sausage" - that means I'm already past due! A previous Backfatter now reduced to silly sausage!

I have a lot off stuff to do today. Still luv the word STUFF.

Gail! and leave your credit cards in the car!

You know, eaa - they STUFF silly sausages!
