Domino Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Now I'm gonna have to do that. My favorite puzzles were... one of a bunch of antique toys, the harry potter ones, and this Wicked Witch of the West one from the Wizard of Oz movie. Quote
Spritzie Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I loved puzzles. In Kinder. grade here, when I went to school, it was half days. Mornings class... or afternoon. I had afternoon, so my mom and I played games and did puzzles before school every day. I used to have a lot of the 100 piece Disney ones. I want to try the huge M&M one of the Blue guy. He's laying in a sea of M&M's. That has to be a nightmare to figure out. lol Quote
Domino Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Ahaha. Probably. My head hurts just imagining trying to figure out that one. Lol. The last puzzle I did was a 'That's so Raven' one when I was helping out at my church. :laughingsmiley: Quote
Spritzie Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 My mom and I had methods figured out. We divided them into center and edges. Then she put together the edges, I did the center. But with something with a lot of similar colors, all over.... no way. Quote
Domino Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Plus there's so many pieces. And...wow. A lot. *mind boggled* Quote
Spritzie Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Some people thrive on that stuff. That would just give me a migraine, most likely. Quote
Domino Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Agree. I mean, I guess if you wanted a challenge, than that kind of puzzle is what you'd want to do? Quote
Spritzie Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I've known people like that. I like things to be hard enough to be challenging, but not so hard it's impossible and makes me crazy. Quote
Domino Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Haha. There is a fine line between challenging-fun, and insane-enough-to-make-you-go-crazy fun. Quote
Spritzie Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 It takes all kinds I guess. I had a nightmare the night that the puzzle broke. Quote
Domino Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Awwww. :( I've had nightmares over that stuff. I once broke my sister's soccer "participation" trophy on accident. She got SOOO mad. >> :grrr: = her. Quote
Spritzie Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 It didn't help that that night, I'd pet a friend's pet iguana. (I hate reptiles) I had a nightmare that I spilled a glass of water of a puzzle I was building (it was a puzzle with a ton of iguanas on it) and they came to life and chased me. lol I screamed in my dream, then woke up to my dad shaking me. I guess I screamed out-loud. Quote
Domino Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 That is a REALLY scary dream. I don't like reptiles either. Haha. That reminds me. I was up in Tahoe, and this girl had an IGUANA on a LEASH, and she was taking it in the lake with her. It was one of the oddest things I've ever seen. And it was pretty gross. Quote
ΩCCΩ Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Iguanas look cute...in pictures :D. I love tough puzzles, the tougher and more mind boggling they are the better. Quote
Spritzie Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I had a pet turtle for awhile. (Her name was Murtle.) My parents took our family to New York, when I was 7, and on the streets in China Town, they were selling those tiny turtles (That are illegal in most states now, because of the bacteria they can carry.) I begged and begged for one, but my parents said no. They said we could see about getting one when we got home. (Which never happened.) But one day, we looked outside while watering the lawn... and there was a turtle on the lawn. We kept her for awhile. We used to let her swim in the bath tub. (She loved that.) And we'd tie a bandana around her (to make her visible) and let her roam the backyard. We even took her for walks. (Slowly, of course.) lol It was great fun. I have a harness and leash for my cat, but he's not a walker. My parents have him right now, and they fence him in on the side porch and let him have little "Walk-Abouts". My sister's cat (The one in my avvie) He's a walker. He loves being taken outside on a harness and leash. But he's a little crazy. lol Quote
livvy Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I love tough puzzles. The more I have to think, the better. But sometimes I get to where I just really want to get a piece in. Quote
ΩCCΩ Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 As in cutting it in the right shape and fitting it in the puzzle when nobody's watching? :whistle: Quote
̊ ˉˉ ̊ Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 As in cutting it in the right shape and fitting it in the puzzle when nobody's watching? :whistle: sadly people will notice that if they look long enough and see that the picture doesn't match up right, although it's a great idea. I personally like the 3 dimensional puzzles, those ones are cool because you actually make something, not just a flat image. and the more complex the better :D They are just so darn expensive though, and getting them used you usually have pieces missing. I have a 418 piece one out right now (although I'm not sure if it has all 418 pieces or not yet....) Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 They sound pretty cool. I've never seen one before. I don't like puzzles, they take too long. Quote
Domino Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 A 3d puzzle would be cool. Don't they fall apart though as you're making them? It seems like it would be a little bit difficult. Quote
Unstream Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 No they usually stuck together really well. I used to have one. I don't really do puzzles anymore. I just lose interest too quickly. Quote
Domino Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Really? Huh. Magic Puzzle. The puzzles I did, even the 2d ones, always fell apart. And I really haven't done any puzzles recently. But only 'cause I don't have the time anymore. *tear* Quote
livvy Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I've never done a 3-d puzzle, but I really want to do one. They look like such fun. Quote
Domino Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Don't they? I want to find a 3d Pikachu puzzle. That would make me -SO- happy. Quote
livvy Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Oh my gosh! That would be super difficult. :O I have a globe puzzle somewhere that I've never done. I should try it. Quote
