Ham-hams in a row


I tried to play Flicker Hamster Sudoku but got confused. Also, Sudoku takes me forever with numbers and I didn't know how much worktime I should spend on it. I'll have to try again on my own time.

I think solid colors would be easier then hamsters. The tiny hamster pictures were all about the same color and were difficult to make out.
Numbers are still probably easiest for me, but that's not saying much. I can spend ages on single puzzle then realize I have two sevens in the same box. It's just awful, a source of endless frustration.

But the main problem was that I lost track of which hamsters I had placed and which ones were supposed to be permanent. I think it would let me blank out permanent hamsters, but I'm not entirely sure. I lost track. If you really can remove permanent hamsters then you could play the same game forever, just removing inconvient hamsters until they line up properly.

I failed to get my hamsters in row... but I did add a picture! I am learning!

Invasion on Flickr - Photo Sharing!


Invasion on Flickr - Photo Sharing! This is ANOTHER good reason not to eat outside! You might be abducted by alien furniture. That would surely ruin any picnic.

I've noticed that picnic tables are almost always sticky. In the past I blamed earlier dinners for spilling their beers. When you're eating outside there's less incentive to clean up after yourself, even I realize that. But, maybe it isn't beer. Maybe the tables are sticky from rocket fuel.

Other reasons not to eat outside include:
1. Bugs
2. Weather
3. Lack of refrigeration
4. Lack of hand washing/restroom facilities
5. Loose pets
6. Overly aggressive wildlife

I'm sure threre are many other good reasons.

7 1/2 Habits

My favorite habit is 7 1/2. Who doesn't like to play? If I can't play with whatever I'm trying to learn then I'm not going to willingly stick with it.

The hardest habit for me is 2. I understand that to be the habit where you actually GET THINGS DONE. I come from a long line of procrastinators. If I'm having fun with something I'm much more likely to keep working on it.
