    Do any of you use Threads?  I never heard of it.

    I have had an account for quite some time, but I haven't really figured out how to curate my view on it yet.

    I follow lots of people on threads, bluesky and mastodon. Great places to find interesting topics and conversation. 

    Why anyone stays on Twitler to generate content and revenue boggles me.

    Bev, I saw your puzzle you posted on bluesky, was the trouble due to color blind issues?  Very pretty. 

    If you enjoy puzzles, I just finished The World of Dracula — thousand piece, beautiful thing. 





    Now I’ve moved onto The World of Frankenstein which is harder.  




    I also own The world of Shakespeare and Wld of Hercule Poirot. 

    All B & N available. There are a bunch in the series so will keep my eye out.

    Yes, I see it was colorblind issues. 

    Go to Home Depot and get a precut of wood the size you want. I do my 1000 piece puzzles on a 2 ft by 2 ft 7 and a half inch sturdy precut. That way, i can just pick up the wood from the table with the puzzle on it undisturbed and put it in my spare room and close the door when I need to. 

    Loose pieces can go back in box, although I tend to separate colors (sky, trees, flowers, body parts etc,) into ziploc bags as I run across them. a lot of a repeating things get a bag.

    I have a set of puzzle trays my sister gave me for Christmas one year to separate the pieces. At first, I go by colors where possible but later I separate them by shape category. I did about half of this latter puzzle by shape--there was so much foliage scattered throughout the puzzle. I got the cabin and the river early on, then had to deal with everything else.

    I do have a board, but I seldom think to use it because it's rarely an issue. I didn't think I'd still be working on this puzzle when the grandkids arrived!

    I've done world of... puzzles about Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes. They're fun...I get them from our mystery bookstore from time to time. I wish there was something to do with puzzles once I was finished, though. I'd love to trade them with people or something like that. Costs too much to ship them, usually. Our daughter swaps them with people in her community via Nextdoor, but no one around here seems interested in that.

    I have family members who trade puzzles around. It’s a drag though when you give them some fantastic puzzle and they drop off some boring crap.
