some people are frustrated by them and don't do them at all.
I have been doing them for many years.
I see lessons in the process of putting a jigsaw puzzle together.
-
I like doing them with someone else, but bored by myself.
Dear friend of mine, who has a very busy life, has room for table in her room, loves to do them. She finds very intricate patterns and shapes.
I would rather read some non-fiction.
:rose:

I used to do them, had to stop, i never gave up and didn't get other stuff done.
-
When we were first married we did them all the time. Life got busy with our son, work and other activities. Now that we're retired maybe it's time to start again. Thanks for the reminder.
-
I love them, but dont do them very often, once every couple of years, I dont have a good place to put one, so it sits on my kitchen table and no room for anything else
-
My dad and uncle did one that was 10,000 pieces - it was larger than the dining room table
-
i love to work them just don't have the time any more --i have a couple wolf puzzles i'd love to get worked and framed !
-
When my kids were young , we always kept a card table with a jigsaw puzzle on it. Someone was always going by and putting pieces together. But just to sit and work one that never happened, none of us could sit still for more then 10 minutes on it. But we enjoyed them.
-
I like to do them but I have not in a long time because I don't have a place for it.
-
I am one of those people who cannot stand them. I am not good at seeing patterns. I cannot pack a trunk well or play chess. I love chess, but I stink at it and quickly grow tired. Same thing with pool. I have attempted learning things like that and I truly believe that you have to be born with at least some talent for it for you to ever be good at it. I have always been sad that I'm not good at math. However, I have come to terms with it. To me, puzzles fit into that category. Everyone has a 'system' for putting together puzzles. Usually it starts with getting the corner pieces in and then the frame.
I am the person who bends the pieces in frustration and, cussing, sweeps everything onto the floor and into the trash.

My sister loves them and does them all the time. She will get a really big one and take weeks putting it together ... a little at a time.
-
I used to do them a lot. I almost completely forgot about them. Thank you for reminding us about them!
-
My mom used to love to do them. I used to like to do them, too, but we sold all hers at a flea market years ago for $1 a puzzle. I do them online when I have time.
-
Wow, haven't done them in many years, maybe time to try again.
-
I like them actually, I just feel bad to do things like that because it seems there would be better things I could be doing with my time. But I prefer to work on something like that instead of just sitting in front of the TV. I can listen and work on something like that at the same time.
-
I haven't done one in years. But I always enjoyed them. It really makes you concentrate and keeps your mind off other things.
-
We usually put one up around the holidays and the whole family works on it whenever they come by. It is a fun group project.
-
I don't mind ones that don't have 100 pieces all the same color. Those I absolutely hate.
-
I like them, we usually do one over Christmas as a family, and I bought one to put together :)
-
It's been a while since I put one together, but if I get the one with lots of pieces, I would put it somewhere safe so that I can work on it a little here and a little there.
-
We do not do them often, however, we did one on Thanksgiving and then we did one yesterday on Christmas. I think it depends on the puzzle if they are frustrating or not.
-
Used to get them for Christmas every year and didn't like them at all
-
I enjoy doing them, but don't have room for that extra table that site there for a long time.
-
We keep a table sit up in the winter to do them, no time in the summer.
-
I love jigsaw puzzles. My grandmother got me into them because until her eyes went, she loved doing them.
-
My dad used to bring them home from time to time when I was a kid. I enjoyed putting them together with my siblings.
-
I don't do the standard ones, but I have an app on my phone where I do some decent sized ones on occasion.
-
It has been years since I did a jigsaw puzzle, but I still do like them if I have someone to help me with it.
-
I love doing them, I used to do them during school vacations. No time for them now :(
If I ever have the time again, I'd like to do a big one and maybe buy a frame for it when I complete!
-
i havent done one in years
-
i use to put them together when i was young....
-
I used to do puzzles all the time but I haven't in a long time.
-
I love jigsaw puzzles and find them very relaxing to do sometimes. They're a way for me to unwind. And it's fun figuring out which piece goes where.
-
I use to be into puzzles when I was younger. I had double-sided puzzles which added a little bit more difficulty (not too much), but I still enjoyed them.
-
I think I would like to do jigsaw puzzles if I was any good at them. I'm just terrible at finding things I'm looking for in a crowd, like puzzle pieces. i can't even find things in a full refrigerator, much less a tiny puzzle piece that fits into another tiny puzzle piece, LOL! I'm glad that you enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles. They look like they'd be peaceful and fun to do in front of a fireplace or something. :thumbsup:

I used to love doing jigsaw puzzles by "The Great American Puzzle Factory" 8) 8) 8) 8)
-
I used to do it. But now i don't have enough time for them anymore
-
My nephew loves jigsaw puzzles. He does them all the time.
-
My mother and grandmother absolutely love doing jigsaw puzzles (1,000 pieces and higher). They find them to be extremely therapeutic and a great way to exercise the brain. I used to do them in my spare time when I was younger. Unfortunately, I do not have the time (or patience) to do them on a regular basis anymore.
-
I like putting jigsaw puzzles together. Sadly, it is something I haven't done in years. Mostly due to lack of spare time between my job, working online, kids and grandkids. We used to have a cat so puzzles always got messed up and pieces got chewed up and/or lost.
-
Before im doing it but now so busy for work and no time anymore.
-
It's supposed to be very good for your brain to do difficult jigsaw puzzles. I enjoy doing them but they take too much time. My daughter can just look at puzzle pieces and see right away how they fit together, but it takes me ages to find matching puzzle pieces.
-
Oh puzzles are fun - and I have several memories of doing puzzles with my Mom. My daughter just asked for a puzzle mat and glue. Maybe it'll be a memory she'll have when she's older...doing them with me.
-
I like puzzles because I find them challenging to find all the pieces, but I don't have the space to set one up and be able to leave it out.
-
I haven't worked on a jigged saw puzzle in many, many years. They were fun when I did a puzzle.
-
I like doing them, but I haven't for sometime now.
-
I always did jigsaw puzzles from a young child but now I play puzzle games on my phone and desktop. It helps me relax and I really enjoy it.
-
I prefer to read a book instead.
