A Nice Country Store Puzzle
A Nice Puzzle
Looks like sort of an old country store only new fangled. Difficulty Level- Obsessives Only.
Satisfaction Level: 10
In order to allow maxim work space, but not clutter up this page, I put it here on big table.
Had three people, the carpet or tile, entire border, lots of pairs and triplets then I learned a hard lesson: Don't resize the screen after starting the puzzle. It cropped the image and I lost access to everything I had parked outside the puzzle frame. Nuts. Goin'down in flames here. Lt. Col. Gen. Tailgunner dick
#1, I had the TV on for a while and since there was nothing to watch (after watching the US crap out of the World Cup), I just picked away at it. And I used the zoom feature of OS X and the Magic Mouse that lets one zoom in and out progressively, not step wise. After that, it was just spending some time at the screen.
day 3 - about 60% complete - hit the @#$%@#$5 zoom menu item by mistake. Image is now cut off as experienced by Lt. Col. Gen. Tailgunner dick.
No bloody way in hell I'm restarting it.
I hate flash, I really, really, really hate flash.
Did I mention I hate flash, because in case you were unclear in the matter, I think Flash is the spawn of the Devil. In fact, I think even the Devil cannot stand it which is why he banished it from hell and into our earthly realm.
Done, after a restart due to stupidity or ignorance. Whichever, it hurts the same. That was a tough puzzle. That's the strangest place I've never been in. Why is there a woman in a nice little neighborhood bar with no clothes on? She can't stand the recent heat wave. Oh, OK. Glad Wookie didn't drop by. I'd post the image if I knew how, but I don't even know how to save it, nevermind send it. Lt. Col. Gen. Tailgunner dick
OK, I have one hole just to the left of the nekkid gal's head and a piece which is the right color but not the right shape left over. It won't fit no matter what I do. The puzzle is otherwise completed.
Whooee! This one's gonna take a while. So far i have a green shirt and what looks like a chunk of tan carpet.Thank goodness for screen zoom!

ReplyDeleteAm I just retarded, or has anyone else seen this?
