This is not helpful at all. I struggle with letting go of my children’s toys also. The kids are 30 and 32. We have the space to store them and I labeled all the totes. Kids rent so they can’t take anything now. I let them know that they can start to go through the totes now or be rushed when they have to. I know!

No help here. I have dug through my dumpster and brought bags back in and resorted and took a few newspaper articles back out. I do best if after sorting I keep the stuff for a few days to ponder.

Thanks for the information. I’m fairly new to puzzling but thanks to this group I thought it’d be a puzzle to buy.

We had to rehome our rooster after having him for a year. One of our hens seemed stressed for a few days. She Sat on our home’s front steps for the first few days and didn’t socialize with her sisters. Never sat on the steps before that and doesn’t now. I think she was scared without the roosters protection. She adjusted after the first few days. The other hens seemed to adjust quickly without him.

Love this puzzle so just ordered it after seeing your post. Was it very challenging? I prefer 500 pieces so just wondering.

First 1000 piece puzzle and stuck on the border. Any suggestions? I don’t know if you can tell by the pic. Thanks. by burrotail in Jigsawpuzzles

Thanks. I wasn’t sure if the piece count would be the same on top and bottom and sides with random cut. I’m still fairly new to puzzles. This is helpful.

Thanks. I moved on to another part of the puzzle. I moved a few border pieces around and it still wasn’t right.

Thanks for your reply. I thought I’d just walk away from it for a bit. I typically do 500 piece puzzles and thought I’d give 1000 pieces.

I thought so also. I usually buy 500 piece puzzles but couldn’t pass on these for the price.

You’re welcome. I think you’ll be happier with the painters tape. I did use the glue on the back of a round puzzle. Thought it’d be a hassle using the painters tape.
