If you like to do jigsaw puzzles, here is a site you might enjoy.
http://www.jigzone.com/

It has a feature that you can change the cut of the puzzle. I like to do the USA one. And I like the circular ones.

3. You are welcome.
I like to do them at home and glue them together. We have some nice ones that we may get framed.

If I have the time which I don't anymore I could put a 1000 piece together in a week or less.

Now it takes me 6 months, I just bougt a really cool one.

Thanks for the website.

8. I love to do that too, but I never have time and the space.
I have one of New York City's skyline I would like to finish and glue, but don't have the table space right now.

10. I have a 5000 piece that is next in line.
It is beautiful Rocky Mountain scene, after that I will do a puzzle the same size of a fall New England scene.

Between the 2 of them it will take me 5 years.

I find it really peaceful to work a jigsaw.

I have a cloth that goes under the puzzle and you can just roll it up to move it.

This will not work with the 5000 piece.

I will need to built some kind of cover to keep the cats off of it.

11. Yeah our cats like to help.
I was into doing the 3D puzzles and I was doing the Nations capitol building, but could not complete it, Tiger our oldest had run off and hidden one of the puzzle pieces, I found it two years later in a box.

12. That's funny.
I have to really watch my youngest cat, anything is a toy with her.

She is running around the house right now, trying to play with the other animals who are trying to sleep.

I always find that it is a thrill to see if all the pieces are there at the end.

19. Yep I do the puzzle of the day everyday.
They say doing a jigsaw puzzle everyday helps you sharpen your mind, and helps you retain more things.

16. Well I just have it set so I can hit my Desktop button very rapidly.
So it minimizes all windows to the desktop. I am not worried.
