Insightful Quote
From The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield--there's a great description of a minor character (the doctor's wife) in the book. It goes like this (page 104):
"The doctor's wife wasn't a bad woman. She was sufficiently convinced of her own importance to believe that God actually did watch everything she did and listen to everything she said, and she was too taken up with rooting out the pride she was prone to feeling in her own holiness to notice any other failings she might have had. She was a do-gooder, which means that all the ill she did, she did without realizing it."Copyright

ugh. I have no idea if this actually means a real puzzle piece, but every time I do a puzzle, no matter how big or small, I ALWAYS think I'm missing a piece. Seriously, I get down to 3 or 4 pieces left and I go "no way, a piece is missing." and it never is. I wonder why i always think that?
This is an actual puzzle piece, unfortunately. But no worries--I found a replacement!
Oh Shazbutt (Mork and Mindy anyone?) A missing puzzle piece makes the whole thing so anti-climactic!! I love the substitute!
It's been so long since I've heard a good "shazbutt." Well said, Lena. Glad you like the replacement. Thing 2 was none too amused.
ROTFL! I love it!! How awesome is my husband!! Awesome? Or enabling? You decide. :P Na-No! Na-No! (Good one, Lena!) LOL!! Hilarious!
I'm waiting for the heart palpitations to stop so I can write a coherent sentence.
While the awesomeness of your husband is beyond what anyone should rightfully expect (I love how he even drew the lines in!), I will still pray for the safe return of your puzzle piece. Heck, I may even start looking for it at my house!
And isn't it Shazbot? Hahaha...thanks for the chuckles! That's awesome.
I knew you'd understand. Let me know if you find it. Oh, and there is no charge for awesomeness. :D
Most likely bythelbs, most likeyl. However, as a kid, how can you not say "butt" instead??
LOL, Lena! Butt. Poop. Butt. Tee hee. Sounds like dinner conversation to me!! ;) :P
True that.
(I'm not sure if I can actually pull that expression off--in fact, I think I pretty much spoiled it by admitting I'm not sure if I can actually pull it off. How 'bout "Word"?)
So frustrating...to put so much time into the puzzle, then to have a piece missing.
Our family bought a puzzle the Christmas season before our daughter was to be married. Everyone would work on the puzzle ~so we could glue it together and hang it as a picture. It would be a memory of our family...and how each one has a part.
Well we had a missing puzzle piece! We looked everywhere, even offered to pay anyone if they found the missing piece. We were considered buying another puzzle (just for 1 piece)or (taking a picture of the pic.on the box~ and making one)...yet just didn't seem the same.
So one day the missing piece was found...on our back door step, with other little debris... After someone took out a garbage bag, which had a hole in it...and the piece fell out.
What's the chances of that...?
Terrie, what a COOL idea! I love it. Who came up with that puzzle idea before your daughter's marriage? I love it!
Very cool story, too. CRAZY, but I bet you guys were super happy to find it. Thanks for sharing! ;)
And little Rats . . . one of the many morals of the story is DO YOUR CHORES!! :P
Bythelbs . . . Word.
Growing up I would be lonely during my Christmas vacations. My siblings were either married or working. So I would work on a puzzle to pass the time. I fell in love with spending my winter vacations completing a puzzle and did this every year till I was married. My children are not lonely~ :), yet seem to get moments of boredom at Christmas break~while I seem to have too much to do. So I started the puzzle idea as an option for the children to work on in their moments of boredom. It was always nice to see them team up and put time into the puzzle. While they would work on the puzzle I would see nice communication time going on. It was also enjoyable to cleanse my mind from the business ~ to take a break and find a piece or two to fit in the puzzle.
So knowing it was the last Christmas holiday ~living together as a family…I bought the puzzle knowing it would be sealed~to seal a memory.
Terrie, that's beautiful. And such a great idea. I love puzzles. But I get quickly addicted. I can't do just 1 or 2 pieces. I get sucked in for a LONG time!! My favorite kind of puzzles are 500 pieces or more (1,000 is fine, etc.) that show a collection of things (buttons, chocolate, trains, stamps, ice cream sundaes, dolls, you name it). Those are fun.
I have a friend who is adamantly opposed to buying puzzles at yard sales because there's no guarantee the pieces will all be there!! Yet she has an aunt who always buys them at yard sales and always gets frustrated that pieces are missing!
Lovely idea, Terrie. Really beautiful.
