Done, needed greens, easy once I was awake enough to spot a hidden pair

Not too bad using the schnellmann transfer and three finger tap.
6:00 am
Andy
greens, no guesses.
6:00 am
angieplumptit
And, yes, Andy: patent pending
6:00 am
Andy
I used schnellmann too. Very handy, that. I only used the two finger tap but with a modified pinky curl.
6:01 am
angieplumptit
I'm not sure that's fair
6:10 am
Andy
it's legal. I keep telling you, read "The Sudoku Whisperer"

RodeoRogue
greens are my friends.
2:04 pm
katmama

2:04 pm
RodeoRogue
i am almost there. got 17 to go
2:04 pm
UnikeTheHunter
Greens haven't helped me at all.
2:05 pm
RodeoRogue
i got lucky and put in a few of them in the right place that opened it right up for me
2:06 pm
RodeoRogue
and done with minimal greenage, but it worked. my mind finally focused after this morning
2:07 pm
katmama
nicely done, rodeo!
2:07 pm
UnikeTheHunter
Ah! That's what I missed.
2:07 pm
katmama
i probably ended up greening just under half of the puzzle, and it was enough to open it up for me
2:08 pm
RodeoRogue
I like being able to catch myself before I get too far along with the greens. Of course I like going without greens even better, but I will take what I can get
2:10 pm
katmama
i'm there with you, rodeo
2:17 pm

a snap with the greens
10:42 pm
hurshy
i used to snap green beans that grew in our garden...
10:43 pm
hurshy
i'm glad i had that, it's a nice memory.
10:43 pm
hokie carla
We called it "breaking beans", and I liked doing it.
10:44 pm
hokie carla
Can't stand to eat them, though.
10:44 pm
hurshy
yes, it's so fun, isn't it?
10:44 pm
hurshy
oh really? i like green beans - but not overcooked, and NO BUTTER PLEASE
10:44 pm
hokie carla
yep, and I usually got to listen to my grandmother tell stories of the old days.
10:45 pm
hokie carla
I have tried to like green beans, really, but I just can't. I can eat them in a crock pot recipe that involves cream of something soup.
10:46 pm
hokie carla
but that's it.
10:46 pm
hurshy
i tried to like cherries and failed, so, i understand.
10:47 pm
hokie carla
I'll admit I like a lot of stuff that I used to not like, but not the green beans.
10:47 pm
hokie carla
and cucumbers. I love to smell them, but yuck.
10:48 pm
hurshy
i LOVE cucumbers, i like to eat them plain for a snack
10:48 pm
hokie carla
I like 'em pickled.
10:49 pm
hurshy
i hate pickles
10:49 pm
hurshy
we must have opposite taste buds - do you hate chocolate???
10:49 pm
hokie carla
no, no, no. I could live off of chocolate.
10:50 pm
hurshy
not totally opposite, then. :)
10:50 pm
hokie carla
well, only weirdos wouldn't like chocolate. ;-)
10:50 pm
hurshy
i am covered in shame, for i have eaten 2 bags of cadbury mini eggs in 2 days
10:51 pm
hokie carla
the mini eggs are okay, but I love this time of year for the cadbury creme eggs.
10:51 pm
hokie carla
I could eat 3 or 4 in a row. I don't understand people who think they are rich.
10:52 pm
hurshy
the creme eggs ARE delicious but often i get this stinging sensation in my throat from swallowing them, i don't know why. it happens to me with milky ways too.
10:52 pm
hurshy
burning maybe is a better word... like... kind of acidy.
10:52 pm
hokie carla
hmm...that is interesting . the only thing those two have in common is chocolate, right?
10:53 pm
hurshy
chocolate with gooey stuff of some sort in the middle
10:53 pm
hokie carla
but not the same gooey stuff
10:54 pm
hokie carla
my friend gave me a recipe for Cadbury Creme Eggs. They turned out okay, but for the amt. of work they took, you're just better off buying them.
10:54 pm
hurshy
i think maybe what it is is, chocolates that i really really love, if they take time to chew, i eat at a normal pace - mini eggs, milk duds, eg. but if they are softer... milky way, creme egg, peppermint patty... i go to fast, and that may be what makes that happen.
10:55 pm
hokie carla
could be.
10:55 pm
hurshy
*too fast
10:56 pm
hokie carla
nice correction. :-) one of my pet peeves, but I got yelled at on another board for correcting people.
10:56 pm
hurshy
i have a great recipe for you
10:56 pm
hokie carla
oh, yeah?
10:57 pm
hurshy
oh, please, always always correct me! it's USUALLY just a typo, but in the event i really spell something wrong, i want to know about it.
10:58 pm
hurshy
yes, ok, recipe. buy a box of nabisco social tea biscuits (they are low fat cookies). take a tea biscuit. top with 5 chocolate chips. eat.
10:58 pm
hokie carla
I haven't figured out if most people really don't know grammar or if they just don't care.
10:58 pm
hokie carla
just put the chips on, or melt them?
10:58 pm
hurshy
they don't care enough to know.
10:58 pm
hurshy
just put them on.
10:59 pm
hurshy
be careful not to let them roll off as they approach your mouth.
10:59 pm
hurshy
that recipe is definitely not too much work! :)
10:59 pm
hokie carla
my cousin makes this cracker candy that is awesome. it involves saltines (which doesn't sound great, but it is), brown sugar & butter, and choc. chips.
11:00 pm
hokie carla
yes, it sounds good. not sure I've ever seen the Nab. tea biscuits.
11:00 pm
hurshy
i do like to alternate salty and sweet snacks sometimes
11:00 pm
hurshy
they are near the zwieback cookies and such
11:01 pm
hokie carla
I think here the zwiebacks are in the baby food.
11:02 pm
hokie carla
alright, I am going to turn into a pumpkin. I better go to bed. Plus, this talk is making me hungry. But we'll talk chocolate again another time.
11:02 pm
hokie carla
Good night!
11:02 pm
hurshy
lol, gnight!
