I'm so glad you kicked the habit ! Yes, getting onto the jigsaw puzzle websites could mean getting hooked on something else to also take up your time. So, you're the wise one not to even do the search!

I'm afraid to do that google search of which you speak oh wise one. I really don't need one more way to waste time. I've not done a jigsaw puzzle in years, it was fun and I got to watch the whole 6th season of Dexter (another guilty pleasure). I quit smoking about 10 years ago. Didn't think I'd ever say it but I don't even miss it now.

Oh, I love jigsaw puzzles, too!! I don't have the time to do those and Solitaire and take care of the kitties. Have you ever been to the on-line jigsaw puzzle sites? They're awesome! Just do a Google search. Whatever picture you choose, you can designate the number and shape of the pieces you want to work with. So, it doesn't have to be gigantic and it might take you three minutes and up to work a puzzle, depending on the size. It also times you and compares your time with the average. It's not quite the same as doing a "real" puzzle which I prefer, but it's a nice way to be able to work on a puzzle and not spend so much time. And NO, you wouldn't be better off to keep smoking! Glad you quit !! How long has it been?

Excellent! Glad you got it! It's always a case of being too close to the situation and it's so easy for any of us to just totally overlook something.

I've spent the last three nights doing a jigsaw puzzle. Now I remember why I don't let them in the house. I'm a tad compulsive. So I was a few days behind in my solitaire addiction. Crap. Maybe I'd be better off if I'd just kept smoking!

duh me. Can't believe I'm so stupid! I'm going to pretend it was just because I was so tired. You're a jewel. Thanks Susan.

Yes, that's what I did. Then it should be smooth sailing for you !

". . . shouldn't make any *difference* " You got the picture.

so you do move the 9 to the 10?

O.K., I think I see the problem. Lynn didn't specifically say to move the 9 to the 10, but she did say to play the 8 on the 9. So I just figured that she left that move out by accident. Oh, and I didn't bring down the 7 (which I had been doing previously when I was trying to figure out where the four moves were). I haven't tried bringing it down to see if it would play up O.K. with the 6. It probably would but that shouldn't make any different in the overall number of moves. By not bringing it down, it is easier to play it over with the 6.
