Morning all

good morning

hi

Easy but slow indeed.

yup

hi everyone!

good morning...

Doesn't look like any diffficult, but wondering why it's labelled easy...

...

done, fairly quickly but I'd rate it more a medium than an easy

hello, anyone there?

hi

hi!

Good morning, sudoku-ers

oh boy! another easy! this will take a while... LOL

Choral Composer, Medievalist, Gardener, Traveller, Grandmother - wow! thats some biography!

that would be me! LOL

But I haven't quit my day-job yet.

wow :)

day job as well??!!

do you ever sleep LOL

yes... hmmm... I am starting to see why I am so tired.

lol. what sort of mediaevalist? tell me to go away if you want, I'm being nosey!

Nose away... this a so-called "easy" one... LOL

I minored in Medieval studies in college. I am very interested im early music history and it's role in society

my best friend would love you! she's a musician and is doing an MA at the moment in early musicology

Hi people - greetings from Boston. Music is in the air!

hi eyeman :)

I had thought to persue a grad degree in music history, but I haven't gone on with it. I love composing, and there is the day-job... :-)

hey Dr G

GM eyeman

GM UDb. Morning Atal... tho it's afternoon in the UK

Wacky GMT... ;)

she's just loving it! its a sad thing really, she wanted to be a concert pianist or vocalist - and easily could have been - but was struck down by a nasty illness and can't perform at that level anymore. so she's just loving the theory side now!

it certainly is!

we're not on GMT :P its summer time LOL

That is sad, Atalante.

Ooh, silly me

If it's morning here and afternoon there, how is it living in the future? :)

Performing can be quite a rush, but stressful. And you become a slave to elements you have no control ovewr (like weather & sinuses).

(or I'm living in the past)

as an agent, I'm in an office - easier

I can imagine! her voice was so beautiful - its such a stupid waste!

and perhaps I'm really living in the future if you all think I'm on GMT and I'm an hour ahead!!

I'm afraid the world treats beauty as something temporary, something artificial, unsustainable.

thats so so true

not on a par with money and the stomach, alas

but lip service to beauty is better than no service, so we accept it.

beauty is everywhere though, you just have to realise that beauty is beyond what most people expect beauty to be

Beauty needs to be temporary... if it isn't we would take it for granted.

agreed, yes. One person's concept of beauty may not be another's concept of beauty. But at least they both experience beauty.

Beauty is temporary, and we have to try to sustain it as long as possible before it ebbs.

We humans have destroyed so much beauty in our pursuit of happiness. If we assume a thing of beauty truly lasts forever, we would see no need to protect it, or even to take the time to take notice of it.

Oh my!! We seem to be waxing philosophical today!

Meanwhile I got an 8 - happiness if not beauty!

gosh we do! but beauty is important :)

LOL true! I have found a friend in #s today.

What state are you in, UDbmas?

NY

But I lived on Cape Cod for a few months.

i work there sometimes in Hyannis

We were in Monument Beach.

right over the Bourne Bridge. My English music friend lives in Monument Beach - he was a boy soprano at the outbreak of WWII

Wow...I love the sound of boy sopranos... good thing... my voice is much like that, which makes id doubly good that I prefer Renaissance & Medieval music.

I love Cape Cod! It's the best place.

small world this morning!

true - even the seagulls are friendly

Gulls are always friendly... especially to those bearing food!

ooh i used to go to cape cod every summer, up to wellfleet

GM hursh

and watch the beautiful sunsets over Cape Cod Bay?

very lovely

munching on fried clams and tartar sauce?

my mom made us go to the marconi site EVERY YEAR, i guess cause it was free.

free is good!

hey hurshy - again!

lol, hey

great minds think alike

well... finished... must attend to the day-job! tc all & have a good one.

meanhile back at the ranch I got another 8

have to run to the postoffice soom. Bye UDb!

oh bother, look at the time, i shall have to do this later.

yay for 8s!

Take care, all.

hello everybody

it is not an easy one...

first 6 uncovered...

Yeah, I'm not sure why this one is easey.

*easy, even.

it's starts moving after the fist 'only possible' number

Ooh! That square is totally a 5.

i was talking about the 1st 3 i found...

You're right though, it gets stuck, and then it all falls together.

yes

finished

Ha

Nailed that puppy!

Rank me, baby!

No green or red

Congrats, Limer :)

Cue theme music

Doing anything fun this weekend?

It got full of water about 3 weeks ago

Does that really qualify as fun?

Broken sewer pipe

pee-uu

Ew!

Ger-stunkiion

Won't take long I

If I can get my 2 sons and 1 daughter to help me.

Should take about 1/2 hour

Is that a big "if"? ;)

Wow, that's not long at all.

they all work at one time or another during the Saturday

no, it's mostly hauling out some bales of straw and sweeping up the fecal matter

still ew.

With all the rain, it will not get dry for a while

Yeah, EWW

or Ew-wii

*grin*

Yeah, and more rain this weekend, at least for us I think.

^_^

Well, I am just about 4 hours south of Ann Arbor, so I expect moisture from the sky

In excess amounts

I have to go

*nod* I saw you were in OH, but wasn't sure exactly where :)

Love all you homies and homiettes out there in SudokuLand

Ok, have a good one :)

almost directly south of Ann Arbor

Follow US-23 until it hooks up with I-75. Go to Exit 82 and then east for 8 miles. Bingo!

Big town of Fletcher

I thought I was stuck, but then found a weak spot. Sometimes I have to just start over completely.

yes i might try that inabit

Some easy's are really hard and some hards are really easy!

yes i have found that befor

jmsmo how are you doing with the puzzle

weather is horrible still! though its - finally - meant to get cooler this weekend!

The weather there is in the news here. I heard from a friend who just got back from Newcastle that there was even a tornado in England.

oh really?! that doesn't surprise me - we do get them here, just not anywhere near as big and impressive as yours!

yes its really hot here to im not sure when its ment to get cooler and i hope we dont get any tornado's

Ah, she thought it was the first one there. Guess maybe it was the first one in that area of England.

In Chicago, we have 90's until sometime next week. Ugh.

probably - normally they appear down on the south coast

break a few roof tiles , but that's about it - told you they were smaller!

Be thankful!

i know yeh

I am!

im still not doing well today

I had to give up on Tuesday's because it wouldn't cooperate. I'm doing it now. Maybe it's time for a break, k.a.

yes mayb

Go have some fun for a while!

This can get frustrating.

i cant have fun im at work

Playing sudoku? That's good work! ;-)

i would do todays babble puzzle but i cant as i have no dictionary and i dont do very well without it

When school starts I sometimes play at lunch, though...

lol wel i work in a shop and when its quiet i come on here

I always have to use the helpers for babble. I love the game, but I wouldn't finish without help.

Ah, my daughter works in a mall, but she can't go in the back. Her store is really strict.

yes i'v only played twice so far and have yet to of completed one although i got dwn to 18 last night

Good for you!

There's a lot of nice people on Babble.

i work in a mall to but its like a small stall in the middle of the walk way and we have to use computers anyway so i just sneak on here plus i am the only one workin today

Oh, yes, I've seen them. At least you have an internet connection!

yes im lucky really as i always have something to do when i get bored

back in a bit - need to make some dinner :)

set an extra plate!

i also have a thorntons next to me so i am currently enjoying a strawberry ice cream

Ymmm. I think I should break for lunch, altho I'm almost done...

Hey Hurshy : )

we want you to stay but we don't want your pc to get blown up! : /

awww, bye hursh : (

*loks up definition of 'easy' in the dictionary* : s

easy today = hard

: /

Heh, glad Im not the only one having trouble with it :)

: /

uhh yeah. i'm not having such an easy time with it

here's the answer

lol plurple, you'd better not ...

He does this commonly, spouts gibberish numbers claiming it's the answer. Apparently thinks it's amusing.

aah, a sudoku troll. has anyone told Dr G?

and when you say commonly, you mean once or twice before ...

oooh troll springs to his own defence - that's unusual!

alright, i really will post them now

meh, trolls. blahh

*eats more salad and concentrates on the grid*

btwrt, what language are you speaking?? lol : D

mmm, salad

lol lola, sorry

i was just describing my general displeasure of trolls ;)

mmmm salad. essential in this weather!

mmmm salad. essential in this weather!

yeah, i was just teasing you ; )

i know ;) but apparently 'meh' IS a made-up word that most people don't recognize

so it's pretty hot over there, across the pond?

it would probably sound very different if i tried to say it! guess it depends on the accent : )

hmm, mebbe so ;) hadn't thought of that

meh is one of those non-words but essential words

yes, it's gorgeous! the brits are suffering a bit but i'm lovin' it! : D

:D yeah i'd be suffering too. actually it has been pretty hot and humid here, more than usual for this area i think. but i just moved up from florida, so it doesn't feel that bad to me

eminusthreeminusoneminusone

oh cool, good to know it works. (sorry about your pelvis, though)

yayyyy!

years ago, don't worry! It does work though :)

I've got a couple of months worth. is that enough?

should be. a good start anyway - you might find its just generally helpful and might want to continue to take it. I do on and off. Any time I feel a bit crappy or achy, I try and remember to take it again!

ok i'm not so mad at its whackness anymore

lol hurshy

i got it ... but i got frustrated and used possibles :P

me too! it was a weird one.

hi all

this is easy?

i wouldn't say so ...

the last hard one was easier than this ;)

this is like pulling teeth

oh yeah, that last hard one was really easy, wasn't it? ;) i have a hard time keeping them straight, i have been doing a lot of archived puzzles because i got behind

ahh, finally some progress

btw, what's your avatar exactly?

sungroper.asn.au (my solar car)

ohh, ok :) it looks like it has teeth. am i crazy?

No, it did have teeth (its been repainted with flames now)

so you're not crazy (at least that isnt proof ;)

lol yeah that wasn't a good way to phrase it ;) but i see it on the site - wow - that's really pretty cool

i had not heard of solar car racing b4

it was a huge project, lots of fun and lots to learn

since then, we've got two highschools involved which is also pretty cool

i bet. so the race takes place in australia?

lol i bet that's fun, buncha teenagers ;)

The World Solar Challenge does, yes, straight down the middle from Darwin to Adelaide

australia is one of the ... 20 or more countries i feel i MUST someday visit ;)

grin

Most americans seem to want to visit Oz for some reason

lol i always think of you smiling, because the car in the picture is showing it's teeth ;)

what spot would you recommend?

done

yay! +~+~+ fireworks +~+~+ :D

what spot in Oz? It depends on what you're after. The Gold Coast is where we normally holiday - sun, beaches, amusement parks, rain forest

sorry, i wandered for a bit. umm ... what part of australia i guess would you recommend? i'm not so good with my geography :P

does australia = oz?

Well that was certainly a lot of work for 1 point!

lol kneestabber

yes, Oz is slang for Australia

Yes, it was definitely a medium or even a hard

its ok, I wandered off too (playing hide and seek)

Alright everyone. I'm outta here. Have a good night and a great weekend!

gotcha ;) sorry, i'm a bit slow. lol, who is "it"?

ok, g'night :D
