jigsaw puzzles
« on: December 16, 2017, 06:49:59 am »
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.

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

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.

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.
