Only took me a year and a half... :P

And it figures, I finished a minute after the rankings update, so I've gotta wait another day to show as an elite :P

cyclinggirl
congrats bangping. approximately how often did you play or how many puzzles a day did you do?
1:30 am
bangping
It took me roughly a year and a half to finish 'em all. I started playing with about 4-5 months of archives behind me.
1:31 am
bangping
I do the daily puzzle pretty reliably, but otherwise would go in spurts. Sometimes I'd do 10-15 in day, other times I'd just catch up any recent ones I'd missed and leave it at that.
1:32 am
bangping
Course, I also took about a 4 month hiatus in the middle of that, and then had to catch those up, too :)
1:34 am
bangping
OK, bedtime. :) Have fun, folks :)

9:34 am
yul
I am stuck at home. I hope it'll help.
9:36 am
btwrt
yeah. lots of rest and sudoku should do it :)
9:37 am
yul
I was eating chicken soup all last week. I can't face it anymore. Sudoku is the only remedy left
9:38 am
btwrt
my step-dad made the best chicken soup yesterday ... aww, you've been sick for that long?
9:40 am
yul
No. My husband was ill so I was feeding him.
9:41 am
yul
Now is my turn. Sleeping helps a lot + hot drinks
9:41 am
btwrt
i always like to have peppermint tea when i'm sick, for some reason
9:43 am
yul
I think menthol helps to breath
9:44 am
btwrt
when i get sick, it always drags out for weeks. luckily my son isn't that way - he gets sick in very short doses
9:45 am
yul
I just hope it's not going yo be one of this 3 week long flus which happen to me some time.
9:46 am
btwrt
yeah, those are miserable :P
9:48 am

12:16 pm

12:16 pm
hurshy
it was nice this morning. cloudy now.
12:16 pm

12:17 pm
hurshy

12:17 pm

12:17 pm
btwrt

hurshy
BY the way
12:18 pm
btwrt
oh, i didn't know
12:18 pm
hurshy
i saw cards or balloons or something for BOSS's day!
12:18 pm
btwrt
when is boss's day?
12:19 pm
hurshy
i was like, every day is BOSS'S day! they get to make more money and order people around and do what they want. they do not get a holiday! gah!
12:19 pm
btwrt
yeah, isn't it weird? and you're supposed to spend money on them
12:19 pm
hurshy
well i AIN'T.
12:19 pm
btwrt
even tho they make the most $ and just dole out a little pittance to you to try to survive on
12:19 pm
hurshy
but i did send one boss an e-card for his birthday on tuesday.
12:20 pm
btwrt
altho, my one boss is awesome, i'll have to send him an ecard when it's boss's day. because he's awesome, did i mention? i even added him on wikipedia once
12:21 pm
btwrt
well, i didn't really ADD him - i modified the entry that had him in it to include his personal website. he used to play guitar for the allman brothers band which, i had never heard of them but i guess they were well known back when
12:21 pm
hurshy
well i am sure you can wiki boss's day too but i think it may be over
12:27 pm
btwrt
ohhhh, crap. it did already happen on the 16th
12:27 pm
btwrt
you've gotten me this news days too late! this is going down on your permanent usefulness record
12:27 pm
hurshy
yeah, it was a while ago that i saw it
12:28 pm
hurshy
hey it's not MY fault, if you were on AIM sometimes maybe i'd have told you
12:28 pm
btwrt
inaccurate! i'm always on yahoo and that's where we've been talking lately
12:28 pm
hurshy
but my yahoo is broken, i can only use express
12:28 pm
hurshy
so it's a pain
12:30 pm
btwrt
ohhhh. well i didn't know that.
12:30 pm
hurshy
there. i'm all caught up.
12:30 pm
btwrt
i've still got about 4 months worth to do
12:31 pm
btwrt
but i have caught up by a couple of months. it's a slow process when i can only do 2 - 5 a day
12:31 pm
hurshy
well, you know, i've been playing since like... the first week, so.
12:31 pm
hurshy
i just had a few that i hadn't done this week to do.
12:32 pm
btwrt
yes. well i had been completely caught up at the beginning of summer or so but then i didn't do any from say may - september.
12:32 pm
btwrt
no, i think i didn't do april either
12:32 pm
btwrt
because i'm working on june 28 now but i think i have all of april and may as well as most of june to do
12:33 pm
hurshy
working backwards?
12:33 pm
hurshy
well this slow day at work is coming in handy
12:34 pm
btwrt
you aren't on aim anyway when you're at work, right?
12:34 pm
hurshy
and i'm usually not on here or anything
12:34 pm
btwrt
wow, i'm all kinds of correct today
12:35 pm
hurshy
regular celery!
12:36 pm
btwrt
as opposed to unleaded celery?
12:36 pm
hurshy
it's a friends quote.
12:37 pm
hurshy
phoebe decides to list all the kinds of celery
12:37 pm
btwrt
lol. nice.
12:37 pm
hurshy
and that's the only one she can come up with
12:37 pm
hurshy
it occurred to me that there were as many kinds of correct as there are celery
12:37 pm
btwrt
that is very astute of you to notice
12:37 pm
btwrt
altho they do have organic and non-organic celery
12:38 pm
btwrt
also you can get celery hearts which is a different thing than just getting regular celery
12:38 pm
hurshy
i guess phoebe wasn't thinking about that
12:38 pm
hurshy
however, scientifically speaking, they are the same kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.
12:39 pm
btwrt
that is true, yes
12:40 pm
hurshy
but if you want to be heart of correct, you can be
12:40 pm
btwrt
but there are different grocery store selections and wouldn't that be what a list was for?
12:40 pm
btwrt
... the dove chocolate filled with caramel is amazing ...
12:40 pm
hurshy
no, the list was just for listing, as an alternative to listing the 50 states.
12:40 pm
btwrt
ohhh, i see
12:41 pm
hurshy
of which she had grown tired.
12:41 pm
btwrt
that makes sense. whoever feels like listing the 50 states
12:41 pm
hurshy
ross was not letting himself have turkey until he got them all but he couldn't think of one.
12:41 pm
hurshy
and joey came up with 56.
12:42 pm
hurshy
and thought ross was making up utah.
12:42 pm
btwrt
haha that's great
12:42 pm
hurshy
it's real easy to do, i know them all in alphabetical order
12:42 pm
btwrt
i still like the one where ross overtanned himself
12:42 pm
btwrt
oh! and the one where he over whitened his teeth and they were glowing in the dark
12:43 pm
btwrt
probably i identify the most with ross. he's smart but he does the stupidest things
1:22 pm
hurshy
sorry... had to do some work :)
1:23 pm
hurshy
i would say for me... chandler.
1:23 pm
btwrt
lol, it's weird how they make you do that at jobs
1:28 pm
hurshy
innit though?
1:28 pm
hurshy
cept, nobody's really here to make me do it. but when things happen, i do them.
1:29 pm
hurshy
cause they got to be done!
1:29 pm
btwrt
well that's good then. i need to be working but sudoku, it's this sickness i have
1:43 pm
