Gday Tulio, funny comment on easy today. to the madness that is Sudokuland. I know what the word is, but even though it means different things, we Aussies know both uses so, while we find it funny to see it used, we don't find its use offensive. It probably just couldn't go through the automatic 'rood word' censor!
I've brought along a bottle of Aussie bubbly, a plate of nibblies and a bunch of native to help you decorate.

Hi Tulio! to your own page! Great to see you posting I am leaving a pot of Maryland Cream of Crab soup for you and your guests. The 'naughty corner' is where we are sent if we get a little risquè in our comments Many sudokuists have ended up there at one time or another I've been there, but that was before they installed the big screen TV! Stop by and whoever is there will give you a tour!

Beautiful haliconia. I am not familiar with the one that looks like an orchid. We have Phalonopsis, but they are much smaller, often refered to as the Butterfly Orchid.

By the Way (BTW) - the Prince of Darkness - looks like a Bird of Paradise, except different colors. The Birds are orange/gold with a blue stamen. The Bird of Paradise is the City Flower of Los Angeles. My sister-in-law (SIL) lives on the island of Maui in Hawaii, they have Halconias - similar to the two hanging varieties.

BTW (hehe) Thanks for the coffee, it was the most beautiful aroma, perfect for that time of the afternoon.
If you want to see some more sudoku slangs, try looking at the Sudokuspeak page in the Forums section.
Look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Hello Tulio - sorry, I haven't visited your page before, I thought I had, so to our silly, wonderful world of sudoku. Thank you for visiting my page and leaving your comment on there.

Hello Tulio - it's an Advent Calendar for women only!!! If you really want a copy, it will have to be done via e'mail and nobody on site probably has your e'mail address. You can do this by way of Private message on someone's page.
I'm sure you wouldn't want to see it or your good wife.
It's just one of the naughy things that go around the site sometimes to give everyone a good laugh!

My Mom came up here for Christmas this year, so that it why I'm vicariously working on it and sharing it with all of you. I use to live in La Cañada Flintridge which is right next to Pasadena where the Rose Bowl and Parade are. Would walk to the football game (4 miles).

Gday Tulio, no it's not just you mate. We are all in the same boat and are all suffering withdrawals! Apparently, the host site that holds all of Gath's sites, accidentally erased everything late Sunday. Gath has been able to restore our personal pages and most of the rest of the site, but unfortunately, they have been unable, as yet, to get the puzzle (home) page back online. Gath hopes to have everything back up and running within a couple of days.
The Sudokuaholics Anonymous 3 page is working so if you want to have a chat with anyone, go there via the forum page.
Hope this calms you a little bit and I will see you on the puzzle page soon, I hope!

Thankyou Nal. It is more of what I expected. You must be realy involved in small living creatures.
Now with your explanation I recall that I saw them when I was younger and they were smaller also. I do not notice them lately. What a shame.
Muchas gracias por tu respuesta.

Tulio...thanks for visiting my page. Oz is an abbreviation for Australia, and also refers to the magical land of Oz described in the movie "The Wizard of Oz". New Zealand (NZ) is not part of Australia, but it too is a wonderful country. I lived there for 4 years and thoroughly enjoyed it. Regards, Paul.

Hi Tulio, I see I have never stopped by what bad anners I have. Looked at your photo gallery, you have some beautiful flowers. I reconize the orchids, are some of the others bromeliad's?, some I do not reconize. You have a lovely family.

Tulio, I popped in earlier and I thought I posted a reply but I see it's not here so obviously, neither is my brain!
In answer to your questions, the email you received was to let you know that I had posted a comment on the picture of you with your beautiful wife and sons.
'Pre-pooter' days refer to the time before I ever started using the computer, back when I used to read a lot. I have resisted using computers for many years because they were my husband's domain, then he introduced me to online sudoku and the rest is history!

Hola, Tulio!

I hope your wife finds some good recipes in the cookbook. It was a lot of fun putting it together. You said your wife wrote a microwave cookbook. Do you think she could post some of her recipes on the Recipes page so I could add them to the book when I next update it?

My husband is, indeed, of Spanish descent. He was born and raised in Chile and came to the States to attend graduate school at the University of Wisconsin. We used to have a marketing research business and spent a lot of time in Europe and South America doing our research. I've been to Colombia several times and have even been to Cali a couple of times. I think the name of the hotel we used to stay at was the Inter-Continental - but I might be mistaken. I'd ask my husband, but he's asleep right now. I don't think he appreciates how addicted I am to Sudokuland! LOL!

I was looking through your picture gallery, and you have a lovely family! The flowers are beautiful, too!

Chao!
Jane

Tulio, just as Canuk Greg did, I'll give you a page warming gift from my corner of the world, a Redwood burl. You did ask what they are. Is that because you saw them in my pictures? They are growths on the trunk of Redwood trees, usually a lump grown by the tree to cover over a gash or wound. Tourists visiting the Redwoods will buy a little piece of burl, take it home with them, keep it in water, and it will grow little Redwood sprouts. Pages 10 and 11 in my Flickr photostream have pictures of Redwood trees and burls.

SA stands for Sudokuaholics Anonymous, the term we have jokingly come to call meetings when people that have gotten to know each other visiting this site meet in person. When I was visiting Montreal and Toronto in Canada, I hoped to meet some Sudoku people from those areas. Unfortunately, nobody could make the meetings.

Hello Tulio - Thanks for visiting my page and viewing my photos. The march was actually for Proclamation Day but I'm not quite sure why it was celebrated on that particular day as Albany was first settled on Christmas Day 1826 and this photo was taken in January. We were the first settlement in Western Australia and started off as a penal settlement for convicts from England. Hence, some of the people are dressed as convicts and others as soldiers.
Best wishes to you and your family.
Cheers
Anne

Dear Tulio,
Thank you so much for your kind words. They are very much appreciated. Another crisis but this too, I will survive and go on. I was already resigned to the fact that this day would arrive and my father was too. We had already met with a senior citizen lawyer and gotten legally and financially ready. Thank you again.

Hi Tulio! Yes, things are getting better! I loved the Riverdance. Tried to learn some of the dances, even bought the cd Riverdance lessons. I got as far as lesson 2 before my feet started tripping oven themselves!

Thanks for stopping by. Glad you enjoyed the photo spread. The entire town's main center is what is pictured in those few blocks. When you hear me talk about Britt Festivals throuout the summer - you will know to where I am referring.

The start of Jacksonville was the discovery of Gold in 1851. Our big draw now - besides the historic nature of the town is Britt Festivals.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.
When you gave me your birthday greeting, I was out having a wonderful lunch with my husband. Your timing was perfect.

Tulio, thank you for your kind words about my photo. As the others know I have a fondness for sunrise/set photos. It is the moment when the world explodes into scenes of great beauty.

As for our new toy, we don't pick it up until mid-May and we are as excited as school children. Soon enough we will be heading over the mountains and off onto the open road. We hope it will give us the freedom to visit new places in Australia and to explore the full beauty of our own country in reasonable comfort.

Lynda was an especially courageous and thoughtful lady. I miss her, even though I have not known her for very long. I am sorry to have disturbed your quiet routines. You may not be English-language speaking, but you share the human problem of the reality of death.
