Perkins, I second the Sudoku rec. I ended up buying the Sudoku Expert package because they are nicely challenging. And DH downloaded a sort of sudoku-riff number puzzle for free (not sure it's still free however) called Strimko something or other. Decent puzzles.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

But you will KNOW it's cleaner, Burrell!
I get your frustration, though -- you're all "5 hours of sweating and it still looks like this?"
Hmm. That pretty much sums up my attitude towards my ass, too...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm too lazy to take this to Tech so I will ask here--does anyone have any recommendations for iphone/ipad apps for memory/concentration oriented games or puzzles? Either kid or adult appropriate would be fine.
Falldown is definitely concentration-oriented, though not necessarily memory-oriented. Sushi-Go-Round is addictive and memory/concentration-oriented. There's also a Set app.

Thanks! I have suduko, but I was thinking more memory than figure it out apps, so I will look at the others.

perkins,
my favorite sudoku for the iphone is "sudoku2" - I like the interface and levels.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
:(. Megan lost. Still! Wimbledon! My cousin!
So, there's that.
Person at work, please send me your notes. Boss is going to start harassing me for mine, and I need to crib off of you. Kisses!

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
I just realized while writing a check at the drugstore that today isn't my best friend's birthday; next Tuesday is.
So yay! that I don't have to socialize tonight when I'm not feeling it, but boo! at more evidence of early onset senility. Which will diminish my glee in taunting him about the approach of old age.

This morning I put a check in the mail and now I can't remember if I actually signed it or not.

I once didn't sign a check to the phone company, and when I got the cancelled check back without the signature, I called the bank. They said "well, was the check legit?" and I said yes, but I was concerned that it went through. They said that it cost the bank more to deal with an unsigned check than it was worth, so if it was under a certain amount, or to a company or utility, they just processed it and dealt if it was a problem.

At least twice I've sent in my rent check unsigned. Which means my apartment manager hangs onto it past the allowable late date and then waves it in my face and tells me I'm making his life difficult.
Which? Whatever. At least I remembered to pay. It's really close some months. I'm old, but I'm not grownup.
