12:03 am
Penguin

Hello everybody. It looks like a fast start (for a change) on this medium.
12:07 am
orb

Late... Looks like you have a nice head start
12:08 am
Penguin

Don't worry, Orb. You will undoubtedly finish before I do ... as usual. 8-)
12:08 am
orb

I better - I need to go eat dinner. I
12:08 am
orb

just got to the hotel room and realized it's sudoku time
12:09 am
Penguin

Where have you travelled to, Orb?
12:09 am
orb

vegas this week
12:09 am
orb

last week atlanta... next week chicago. this is a brutal month
12:11 am
Penguin

I've only visited the airport in Las Vegas ... and I still lost money. (Slot machines in the bathrooms is ridiculous). It is the accidental trip that had me swear off gambling. I haven't even bought a lottery ticket in almost twenty years as a result.
12:11 am
orb

I can't bring myself to bet money when the odds are stacked against you
12:12 am
orb

Poker - maybe... At least there you have chance
12:12 am
Penguin

Enjoy your poker games. I'll continue to skip mixing money and games.
12:14 am
orb

I don't think I'd have time for any games - even if I had the money :)
12:15 am
Penguin

Well, this weekend I have the enjoyable travel of graduation parties and graduation (tomorrow afternoon). I'm shepherding the first group of students through the ceremony.
12:16 am
orb

Seems late for the school year to be ending
12:18 am
Penguin

Wisconsin passed a law that school cannot begin until after Labor Day. So, we run later into June. We have to have 180 school days by law ... and the kids do need a break for Christmas and Easter. The tourist industry pushed and got the late start law. Now they are complaining that there aren't many kids available to work Memorial Day weekend. They should have left it to the school districts to decide when to start and end. Oh well.
12:19 am
orb

hooray for big government
12:21 am
Penguin

While I'm neither a Republican nor a Democrat (I usually vote for the party that's out of power), I'm amused that it was a Republican legislature that ran on a small government platform that passed the late start law. I guess for them it is small government as long as it keeps the business community happy. Politicos are weird.
12:21 am

Morning all

Penguin

Hi Sprite

8:53 pm
cyr0715

8:54 pm

time to take a leap of faith on this puzzle
8:54 pm
hurshy

no guessing required
8:54 pm
hurshy

i just finished
8:54 pm
ypsigirl

I know that's how it works, but I am so tired... ha ha
8:54 pm
hurshy

without guessing
8:55 pm
hurshy

ah then you are violating Hurshy's Rule #1 of Sudoku
8:55 pm
hurshy

Sudoku Must Only Be Done On A Clear Head
8:55 pm
ypsigirl

ok what are the rules, I just started playing this a month ago or so.
8:55 pm
ypsigirl

AH OH YES
8:55 pm
hurshy

have you read the "help"
8:56 pm
hurshy

oh i see, you meant what are my rules
8:56 pm
hurshy

well that's the only one i have so far
8:56 pm
ypsigirl

ha ha I like it.
8:57 pm
ypsigirl

I was down to like 20 words on babble and they had all this political chatter...
8:57 pm
hurshy

of course if you're not pro, you have less control. if you go pro, you can play previous puzzles, so no time crunch
8:57 pm
hurshy

yes, i was there :)
8:57 pm
ypsigirl

I am going to do it ;)
8:57 pm
hurshy

so you aren't actually babbled out, just politicked out?
8:57 pm
hurshy

you can close the chatbox you know
8:57 pm
ypsigirl

both ;) going to bed soon
8:58 pm
ypsigirl

2 small kids that will be up with the sun
8:58 pm
hurshy

that's high
8:58 pm
ypsigirl

yes, but then I might miss a great clue.. ha ha
8:59 pm
hurshy

i'm going to bed soon too. but first, i have THREE small CATS who want food RIGHT NOW (especially mitten - she's very impatient)
9:00 pm
ypsigirl

do you usually finish babble every day?
9:00 pm
hurshy

oh yes
9:00 pm
hurshy

but as i am going to be travelling soon i probably won't be able to play every day for a while
9:00 pm
ypsigirl

I know it is getting addictive for me too, like I need to go back.... bwahahahh
9:01 pm
hurshy

the other day my internet connection was down the whole day and i still finished :) got my dad to put in the words after i found them
9:01 pm
ypsigirl

ok that's hilarious
9:01 pm
hurshy

the last time i didn't finish... i think was at christmastime when we were driving 14 hours back from chicago
9:02 pm
hurshy

christmas was bad for babble
9:02 pm
ypsigirl

I can imagine
9:02 pm
ypsigirl

this sudoku is driving me crazy
9:03 pm
hurshy

i was irked. but then, i didn't WANT to go on that trip, and i DO want to go on my upcoming one, so i won't be as irked
9:03 pm
hurshy
