Penguin

Hello all,
It does look easy.
12:19 am
orb

oh just rub it in :)
12:20 am
Penguin

Sorry Orb,
I'm just starting it now. I'm sure I'll stumble into the pitfalls shortly. I always do. 8-)
12:23 am
orb

Shouldn't be hard - it just might take a bit longer than normal. Or maybe it's just me. I guess I should take that as a sign to get some sleep. See you all tomorrow at midnight...
12:24 am
Penguin

Good night Orb.
I'm still plugging away for a while.
12:43 am
Penguin

Well, it did take me a while. Not terribly difficult, but probably easier after a night's sleep instead of before.

10:42 am
scribble

10:43 am
Twinkie

it's weird how the puzzles can go easier or harder, depending on how you mark them. they never go exactly the same way for everyone.
10:46 am

1:56 pm
contestant

oy.
1:56 pm
contestant

see, I will never have a lawn when I get a house
1:56 pm
contestant

because it requires upkeep
1:56 pm
scribble

why?
1:56 pm
scribble

oh
1:56 pm
contestant

in planting grass, and then cutting the grass, and then planting plants, and killing other plants
1:56 pm
contestant

moving things here, there, to and fro
1:57 pm
contestant

and in the end it just gives you a shallow little bit of pride in the work you ddi
1:57 pm
contestant

and then you realize that the time can be spent in vastly better ways
1:57 pm
sneeu

like playing sudoku ;)
1:58 pm
scribble

and youre talking about lawns b/c.....?
1:58 pm
contestant

I just spent about, oh, say, an hour and a half working on a small section of our lawn
1:58 pm
scribble

hehe good point sneeu :)
1:58 pm
contestant

digging up grass, and whatnot
1:59 pm
scribble

does it look better?
1:59 pm
contestant

It's just the back lawn
1:59 pm
contestant

So it doesn't really matter; we're the only ones to see it
1:59 pm
contestant

and in my opinion no, no it doesn't
2:00 pm
contestant

ah, cynicism, how I love thee
2:00 pm

2:00 pm

2:01 pm
contestant

Went to the clothes store this morning and they have "World's Greatest Dad" t-shirts in kids sizes
2:01 pm
sneeu

haha
2:01 pm
scribble

hmmm....i never did understand that....why someone would clean something or decorate a room when noone else will see it or care....oh well
2:02 pm
contestant

That's my theory, and also why careers in interior design and such are blocked off for me.
2:02 pm
scribble

i mean it would be different if you had alot of guests or important people visiting...
2:03 pm
scribble

but other than that...."?"

2:08 pm

2:08 pm
LeslieAnn

2:09 pm
helenkeller

2:11 pm
