I usually prefer the single 'a', as in "argh"

Text box spell checker highlights both of them, anyway, though.

I think I should have given up sudoku for lent.
2:41 pm
brianarn

Second shot - I screwed something up. Hate that. Maybe I should pay for checkpoints at some point. :D
2:58 pm
brianarn

Third stab - wish I realized where I'm screwing up.
3:07 pm
Atalante

done, that was fun
3:21 pm
brianarn

This is taking me way longer than it should. I blame my slowness on my cold. :D
3:31 pm
brianarn

Geez - just over an hour, with 2 restarts and one mistake I was able to work backwards a bit. Bleh, stupid cold. Still fun though, and no guessing, so it's all good. :D

8:34 pm
torgone

It's unraveling . .
8:39 pm
torgone

Not bad, once you take the blinders off ..
8:59 pm
davekingpt

3/4 was hard for an "easy". I have to go back to look at 3/3 as it just gave me brain freeze. But I don't typically do as well on weekends. Weekdays I do this to avoid work I should be doing. I don't have that incentive on weekends.
9:00 pm
kittybat

LOL! That sounds so familiar...
9:00 pm
OrangeSlice

Don't we all? I have a paper do on Friday, lol.
9:00 pm
OrangeSlice

er, due*
9:01 pm
OrangeSlice

*cough* I don't make spelling mistakes.
9:01 pm
davekingpt

do-do
9:01 pm
kittybat

of course not. The keyboard did it to you out of spite... ; )
9:02 pm
OrangeSlice

That's right. I had nothing to do with it!
9:02 pm
kittybat

My keyboard had a mind of its own
9:02 pm
davekingpt

sometimes my keyboard puts the wrong numbers in cells
9:02 pm
torgone

I don't have that option any more .. I got firewalled . . :(
9:04 pm
kittybat

Oh, that sucks. My work just won't let us update our Flash version. So we're locked out of a lot of places now. that usually means the restaurants where we want to order lunch.
9:05 pm
davekingpt

In grade school we used to take 2 equations to solve for 2 unknowns, 3 equations to solve for 3 unknowns, etc. I just realized that naked triples and neked quads are based on the same idea.
9:05 pm
OrangeSlice

Oh yes, it's highly mathematical.
9:06 pm
OrangeSlice

I'm taking logic next quarter, it's going to make me so good at sudoku.
9:08 pm
davekingpt

Try applying it to music. In High School we sang alot of Bach. If we had sung a bunck of chords and the sopranos, altos and tenors were singin g agiven not I knew that I would have to sing a given note to finish the chord.
9:09 pm
davekingpt

That's why kids who study music do well in math and science. It helps develop given parts of the brain.
9:09 pm
OrangeSlice

Well, yeah, I am actually going into music theory and composition, so...
9:10 pm
OrangeSlice

Most people I've met don't even know it's a field of study :/
9:11 pm
OrangeSlice

Then again I go to a community college in the ghetto.
9:12 pm
OrangeSlice

A lot of people there seem to really have a drive to better themselves, which is cool.
9:13 pm
davekingpt

A ghetto in Seattle? What, only Dunkin' Donuts and no Starbucks?
9:14 pm
OrangeSlice

Seattle likes to push its ghetto under the rug.
9:15 pm
OrangeSlice

We prefer the liberal hippie image to the poor black/asian people image.
9:17 pm
OrangeSlice

But whatever.
9:17 pm
OrangeSlice

I don't judge, because I've been there.
9:17 pm
OrangeSlice

I know what it's like to not have enough money for food.
9:17 pm
OrangeSlice

Or to afford a place to live.
9:18 pm
OrangeSlice

It sucks. Nobody should have to live like that.
9:21 pm
OrangeSlice

City doesn't care though
9:43 pm
OrangeSlice

Ah well, time to be off. Sorry to waste your brain cells.
9:49 pm
Krys10

no worries, good place to sound off. good night.
9:52 pm
davekingpt

Ick. I hate it when a puzzle starts with one number completely missing from the puzzle. Like "9" today.
9:53 pm
Krys10

i hadn't noticed
9:53 pm
Krys10

but then, i'm sick and not as sharp as usual
9:54 pm
davekingpt

Sorry to hear it. Topsy-turvy Tum-tum?
9:54 pm
davekingpt

Or is it Cat scratch fever?
9:54 pm
Krys10

nope, fever, coughing, etc
9:54 pm
Krys10

kitty has been very sweet to me all day
9:55 pm
Krys10

ok, i've caught up in archives, headed to the kitchen to forage for fluids. have a nice evening.
9:55 pm
davekingpt

That's probably because you've beenlying still. *LOL*
9:55 pm
davekingpt

have a nice saucer of milk!
9:56 pm
Krys10

good point. she does like to laze around much as I have been all day.
9:56 pm
Krys10

heh. meow.
9:56 pm
Krys10

Mine look at me with such sad eyes when I'm dressing to leave in the AM
9:56 pm
davekingpt

Especially the dog
9:57 pm
Krys10

mine nips at me when i get back after a day out of the house
9:57 pm
Krys10

kitty, that is. she hunts and pounces me when I'm not expecting it.
9:58 pm
davekingpt

Must be a kitten
9:58 pm
Krys10

nope, almost 14
9:58 pm
davekingpt

How many cats do you have?
9:59 pm
Krys10

i've had her since she was 2. the bitchy behavior started when my husband and I moved in together. just the one cat, and just the one husband :
9:59 pm
Krys10

but she was used to being my only one...
9:59 pm
davekingpt

Does she go outside?
10:00 pm
Krys10

nope, indoor cat. early stages of kidney failure, needs daily meds
10:00 pm
Krys10

i gotta go take my temp and see about some tylenol. nice chatting with you!
10:01 pm
davekingpt

Hmmm sorry. I had an indoor cat that lived over 18. He died of kidney failure. Glad yours was caught in time
10:01 pm
davekingpt
