Posted June 1, 2020 That is cool. A puzzle floor. I have now done two 500 piece ones today. I need a bigger puzzle! Share this post Link to post
Posted June 1, 2020 Are you going to do that mega puzzle Lagie? How big is that puzzle trystan? I overdid today and my back is killing me. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 1, 2020 I wish, Classy! No. I found it in a catalogue. It's 17 feet by 6 feet; I would need the entire of my living/diningroom space to lay it out in. And the cost at the bookstore here would be prohibitive, if they even had it. A simple 500 piece one here is often $30 - $40 or more. *points out the painkillers* Share this post Link to post
Posted June 1, 2020 Yes, thanks for the painkillers. That's a big puzzle. 30 to 40 dollars for a 500 piece puzzle.... Whoa.... That's expensive. I hope you can get them in the shop. Is the cost of living really high there? Share this post Link to post
Posted June 1, 2020 Pretty much everything is imported, so yes, life here is expensive. A 12% VAT on everything doesn't help, and it gets paid several times over - by the wholesaler when they buy the item, by the retailer who buys it from the wholesaler, and a third time by the customer who buys it from the retailer. Not to mention the Customs duties when you import things, as high as 45% on things like toys and puzzles. So, something simple like a puzzle more than doubles in cost by the time I buy it from my favourite bookstore, meaning that I don't. I get them secondhand at my thrift shop!

I think that would boggle my mind or my eyes one. yep, it's a pretty good size! but it was like 3 puzzles that were 4000ish pieces each. but even better, they used the same jigsaw press in each third four times - so i was the same exact pattern 4 times in each third. it made it so much easier once hubby discovered that!

Posted June 2, 2020 Evening folks. Placements been real busy. I think i'm getting more used to it but that might just be because the days haven't been super busy, just a good level where it's not too crowded. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 2, 2020 Hi there MP! Well glad to see you are busy with work! How is everything? @Fortune86 It's mostly my neck muscle and jaw muscles. But if this goes on I might get an ear infection Share this post Link to post
Posted June 2, 2020 Hey MP! @DragonSpirit009 : IIRC the tubes for the nose, throat and ear are connected. Sometimes a problem with one can affect the others. When I got jaw pain a few years back I got some ear drops that cleared the matter up. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 2, 2020 The muscle in extra red is the one with the problem When I grew up the muscle kinda stopped growing and I had to get an operation for it. It's basically this muscle giving the problem and infecting everything around it. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 2, 2020 Ooh. Well that sucks. Our bodies shouldn't betray us like that. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 2, 2020 At our age that's all our bodies does to us.... Betrayal Share this post Link to post
Posted June 2, 2020 Wait is your muscle infected? Or did you mean to say affected? Do you have access to antiinflammatories? I don't really know the story. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 2, 2020 Man I feel so drained. I'm really hating everything now Share this post Link to post
