I think my mom still has those dresses in one of her closets. My cousin just sent me that picture. I may have snorted

OOH and you just reminded me that we get to eat our cake on Monday! I have to remember to thaw it out on Sunday.

[QUOTE]Plus if you think about it, deleting it and ignoring her might get your point across that you are livid with her. But you still get to take the high road by not actually saying anything. She'll be all "I wonder if J got my e-mail? Is she ignoring me? No she can't be ignoring me, she must not have gotten it. Or did she?" Total mind games without having to do a thing.

Ha, good point. I ownder if she noticed I defriended her on the book of faces.

So far, I've made a post that disappeared entirely, one that showed up like 10 minutes later, and almost every time I refresh the page, the posts are entirely out of order. Oh, and once the entire page disappeared.

ETA: Holy cow, I overuse the word "entirely."

To be fair, we were all talking about how we liked puzzles so maybe it's just trying to make it a bit more challenging to follow. Who needs a regular message board when you can have a jumbled mess to figure out?

Loopyseven · May 2012

Every once in a while I post or reload the page and there will be like 1 post in the whole thread, but if I refresh it again everything comes back.

J&K10910 · May 2012

I love all puzzles EXCEPT TK'S PUZZLES.

pokepoke27 · May 2012

TK just wants to play, I guess.

J&K10910 · May 2012

Speaking of puzzles, what are those puzzles called that are like words and/or pictures, and it means a phrase of some sort, and you have to figure out what it means?

Like: Cart Horse would be "Cart before the Horse"

or: CCCCCCC would be "the seven seas"

Anyone?

Complete with missing pieces and everything.

The last puzzle I tried to do was absolute torture. It was a gigantic (like, 6-patty) burger with lettuce and tomatoes and cheese and things. Some of the pieces were just glistening meat. It was horrible.

Aren't they named after some famously smart guy?

ETA: NM I think I was thinking of something else where there are different levels of questions.

ETA2: Isaac Asimov's Super Quiz! Thank God that was really going to bug me if I couldn't figure it out.

All the pieces left in my puzzle are green. Just green. And they all go...in different places. It's making me angry. I can only work on it for about 15 minutes at a time.

<div>We had this class in HS called "Freshman Focus". It was meant to be an introduction to HS class that should have helped the transition. But they gave the classes to a gym teacher that was semi-retired and didn't provide any kind of cirriculum. He was close enough to retired to not GAF, so he did those with us in class all the time. Our final exam was a word search. I am drawing a blank on the name but I'll let you know if I remember. </div>

Ugh, that's really frustrating. Usually when I get to that point, I'll force myself to sit there and pick one piece at random, then try to fit every single other piece into it. It takes freakin' forever.

Is the grass the last thing you have? I have a tendency to save that ish to the end and then get upset when all I have left is the superhard part.

My mom and I once did a 10000 piece puzzle that was one whale and the rest blue ocean. That one was a beast.

Loopyseven · May 2012

I dunno what's going on.

J&K - the only thing I've found that compares to lots of grass in puzzles is lots of leafy tree cover at the top.

Yeah, I'm about to that point, but that's where my frustration with my missing pieces (thanks cat) comes in.

My H was making fun of me, saying if we ever build a house I need a whole room for my puzzles and a team of people to sort them, because I sort all the pieces (first by edges and non edges, then I sort them by color or what they're part of), spread the groups all the fuuuck over the place, and then I sort my groups into smaller groups (like all parts of the roof, all windows, etc, of the same building) and then pick one group to put on my smaller table, sort those all in the right direction, etc. It's a process, and it takes up a ton of space. He watched me with wonder one night for about 45 minuntes.

pokepoke27 · May 2012

Yeah, I keep going in and out of each one. It's odd. I don't like it : (

Posted by LaBellaVita23[/QUOTE]

Yup, I saved it for last because there was some OTHER green stuff too, and I knew I needed to get that in place, but first I had to do some other parts, so I just figured the fewer pieces in the mix the easier it would be. Yeah, no not really.

That puzzle sounds ridic. And awesome.

GretchenLaRoux · May 2012

LaBella-- That puzzle sounds awful.

J-- I sort a lot, but not nearly as much as you do. That sounds like way more work than I'm willing to put into something that's supposed to be fun.

Evening!
