I have a cold and my nose won't stop running. Waiting for the Theraflu to kick in. I left work around 2, got home around 4. Bus ride was AWFUL. Could the bus driver be any more erratic? I managed to get several "Sumdokus" done, however.
Here's an pic. I bought this by mistake at the airport in Denver (wanted a "regular" Sudoku book), but it turned out to be an interesting new challenge. You do the Sudoku part like normal, but they have internal blocks in which each number must add up to the little number on the upper left corner. This example shows "5 + 1 = 6" and "4 + 6 = 10. You go back and forth doing Sodoku and then addition and subtraction to see which numbers go where.
When I got home, I thought I would sit down and get my sewing machine working. I can't seem to figure it out, though. I managed to sew one sample piece, and then the threads didn't act "right." I've been trying to get the bobbin thread to catch onto the main thread. Instructions are brief and don't go into this type of troubleshooting. Frustrating. I know a sewing store nearby that offers lessons. I'm going to check into that.
I think the Theraflu is kicking in, finally. I'm nodding off.

Scientific American has Sci-Doku, using 9 letters of the alphabet, and a clue - the letters will spell the word answer in one row or column. I did one today.
Sorry you are sick - get better!
If you continue to have problems with your sewing machine, and I ever get up there, I'd be happy to help. Not sure how your machine works, but try holding the trailing edge of the main thread with your left hand, then slowly make the needle go down and up to catch the bobbin thread and pull it through the opening with your right hand.
Hey Dolly! Yes, that's what's "supposed" to happen, and at first, it did happen that way, but then the next time I tried it wouldn't work.
