I need to do more puzzles

I used to do crossword puzzles all the time. I was never without my favorite magazine - Dell. I would always start with the expert puzzles and work my way back, usually leaving the easy ones for my sisters, and my son when he was old enough. I also did all the other puzzles in the magazine too. I haven't been doing them as much as before, but just shared one with my boss the other day out of the paper. It was lots of fun and I was pretty proud of myself to have completed most of it. I think I'll pick up a book when I go to the grocery store today, I've forgotten how relaxing it can be!

Aaahhh yes. The Dell Variety book. I love it. I did not start out with the expert though - that was my last tackle of the book. I used to do them constantly - even kept a book in my purse for any time I had to wait for something or someone, but like you, haven't done them in awhile. My new husband steals the ones in the newspaper.

I keep a book in my husbands car for when we travel. That way I have something to do!

I loved doing fill-it-in's...I wonder if they don't have them online somewhere. Thank you for reminding me...now I can look them up. They are relaxing, aren't they? **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I used to print out the puzzles on different sites on-line and do them on my lunch break. I'm sure they have fill-it-ins - Good luck!!

I used to do crossword puzzles a lot,too.Not sure why I quit doing them.Not even sure when I quit.I guess just trying to keep up with the kids,grandkids & life, I just quit having much time for the little things I would do for myself.

Yeah, that's the same with me. I just stopped doing them, but I think I can squeeze a little time in for them now...

I love doing crossword puzzles but I hate that I cannot usually finish a puzzle. I am doing crossword puzzles now while doing my online earning things. I have done 23 puzzles in this book so far and out of the 23 I have only been able to finish a 1 puzzle lol. Guess that means I'm not very good at these or not very smart.
