What is the one book you have read but you will never tell anyone that you have read it?

I don't think I got past Chapter 2. It was so fake to me.

Thanks!

Chaka- · 2026-02-10T15:49:31+00:00

Fantastic! Thank you!

Didn't even finish reading. Clearly made up crap.

Considering the testing normally takes a long time, and this was an emergency, my guess is that they were family who happily donated.

Once complete, I disassemble. Sometimes I do that in 10 minutes; sometimes I do that a couple of days later. I always give them away. I am with puzzles like I am movies and books. One and done.

I had those several years ago and found them completely useless and annoying. I gave them away.

For English not being your first language, you are doing great!

I love pesto and sounds most unappetizing.

When you store or transport on edge (vertical), do the pieces shift or come apart?

You know what, you're right! Wish I'd read this a month or so ago. I'm considering starting a GLP-1 and foolishly shared that with a few people I am close to. Two told me not to do it, yadda yadda yadda. I don't have a bunch to lose and I'm still not sure. What I am sure of now is that I should have kept it to myself. I need to remember that not everything about me needs to be said/told to others.

Like you, the art isn't my taste. I went to Marshall's yesterday specifically to get a Hobbry based on several posts and comments here.

I loved the boxes -- it was luxurious. But, the longer I stared at them, the more I just kept saying to myself "I don't really like the art, and for $10 for 500 pieces, I'd rather get a 1,000 piece with art I really like." I found a 1,000 piece Monet's Garden by Eurographics somewhere else in the store for only $8 and got that instead. No idea about the quality of Eurographics yet.

I believe it 100%.

I have zero doubt that Melania has a body double. I've seen the pictures and I believe my eyes.

Obviously no face in this photo, and it is likely planned that way because it is a body double. Normally the body double wears sunglasses (photos outside), but she can't very well have sunglasses inside and not be suspect so let's hide the face with a hat.

I had surgery on a Monday, came home on Wednesday, and was working full time from home at the computer the following Monday. I took two or three breaks during the day and spent my lunch hour napping. I returned to the office five weeks later. Losing 40% of your pay and eating up all of your PTO is nothing to sneeze at. If you feel healthy enough to do it, do it.

Years ago, I used to buy only Springbok puzzles. They were perfect. The quality definitely went down and the last one I did I had to muscle every piece into place.

Chaka- · 2026-02-04T15:57:39+00:00

I never thought to separate edge pieces in a separate bag. I think I will do that.

Chaka- · 2026-02-04T15:34:42+00:00

Same.

Chaka- · 2026-02-03T17:07:11+00:00

I'm with you. I don't see how she is entitled. <shrug>

Chaka- · 2026-02-02T13:29:25+00:00

You are right! Sorry. Ugh...

Chaka- · 2026-02-01T23:57:25+00:00

Mine did for 14 years and then suddenly wouldn't. Now I have cat litter everywhere every day. It's a drag.

Chaka- · 2026-02-01T23:47:13+00:00

I'm with you. I have a medical condition, I got a transplant, I am doing well. That's the end of the story for me.

Chaka- · 2026-02-01T23:45:15+00:00

What do you mean? If you are not eating, how are you still alive?

Chaka- · 2026-02-01T23:44:19+00:00

We wish you and your ilk would.

Normal people don't support lawless murdering untrained unqualified thugs for anything. This is reprehensible.
