Not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Morning all

hi all

morning, how is it so far(just got here)?

Just started, and so far it is smooth. But that's not telling anything about later on ;)

i hear ya on that one

Yep... definitely a brick wall here! Almost half way and kinda stuck.

thats not good, cuz i think im coming up on it

I always enjoy your company, but why do we always meet at that brick wall? ;)

haha, its mutual, idk maybe were just bad luck for the other of us.

Well, we'll find a way to get past it. We always do.

Eventually.

true

well i found my way, dont really know how, but i did

I think I did too, things are looking better now.

good, well, I need to get some sleep! Until next time we get stuck

Looking forward to meeting you there. Sleep well and congrats. Almost done too.

done - went fairly smoothly once I got going, had to use marks however but no guessing or even all that complex of patterns to follow

hi all

hi all

hi one

Is it just me, or am I hungry in here?

i'm hungry too....i'm starved of number 4s...

I could do with a number 2. Supersize.

i want a number 1 medium... with sprite, i think. how does that sound?

That sounds very tempting... *sigh*

Do we dare?

so? why not?

we have 1,5 bucks left from this morning! :D

And we have a lot of change!

that's half a fry....

plus the change

Ha-HA!

so...is there enough change for that? (not the half fry)

the real stuff

Maybe, I think I'll count it just now.

cool...would u be ok with that or rather left overs?

Nah, left-overs are so yesterday!

atually it's friday...but who wants to be "TECHNICAL" ! :D hehe...

Not me! Then number 1 and 2 it is! *yay*

cool....yummy! now or at 4?

Hmm... intriguing question. Maybe a little snack now, then 1/2 at 4? Sounds good to me!

ok....left-overs as snack now?

Hehe... I'll think about it.

or rather p-nut & srup

Oh ja! That sounds good! *snicker*

snickers are chocolates. we don't have those.

You nut! P-nut! :D

ready, steady, go...

Wait for me!

ready steady gone

Checkpoints are for quitters! :-P

checkpoints are for people who don't have all day to play...

actually checkpoints are for people who can afford them... :)

or for people with little patience...

or people who lack confidence...

;)

or people who make stupid mistakes....like me... :D

no checkpoints today, but lots of little green numbers...

hi all

it's too early

hello

hi

hello

my battery is dying, have to finish before it will...

morning everyone..

might get through this one without guessing today...

done!

:P

hm

mummy

mini moo can you stop using my account??

mini moo, lol

cheeky little minx hahaha

hey hursy how you doing, feeling any better ?

i'm alright, thanks

just wrestling with my forest here

oh dear

wish we had that problem, the lack of water in the South East means the garden looks like the Gobi Desert

no no, i mean my forest of little green numbers

ahhhh yes I have the same problem

i prefer not to mark, but i worked so hard at babble today that i felt lazy once i got here

aha

go

thanks for the encouragement, helen, i have indeed made a breakthrough

wtg hursy!

lol

tada

applause!

spoiler alert

look away if you don't want to know anything

ok

i'll clear it after i post it

a naked triple in column 7 is key

clearing

there it's gone

lol - not much of a spoiler since i don't know what that means :)

oh well i can tell you if you want

yeah - i was wondering if you knew of some secret way to erase posts, lol

no hursh - if i really wanted to know, i would have learned it by now

thanks anyway :)

no just get it out of immediate view :)

you know the technique, helen, you just don't know some people call it that.

i guarantee you know the technique.

that's probably right

there's only so many ways to apply logic here

and that is basic sudoku logic, very basic.

well, i will try to remember the importance of col. 7 when i come back - but right now i promised my neighbor i would come over after i had a bite to eat so she can help me pick out shingles for my new roof

or as some are now called - shangles, lol

ooh how nice and shingly

see ya later :)

well have a shingle-rific time!

lol - bye

Hi

thanks hurshy for the heads up, just got back after my laptop crashed and that col. certainly put everything into place.

agrreed, much easier with that noticed

hello again

it was quite a hard one

hurshy, can i ask you a thing or two about today's puzzle?

hurshy, please, are you there?

wow, that was rough

...never mind. good night everybody

Stephanie, have you finished it yet?

If you are still there Lori, NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

I did it!!!!!!!!

YEAH!!!!

wow, hurshy, that column split the grid apart completely. now, how does one spot such a chink in the wall?
