Top Questions and Answers

Where can I find a program with large jigsaw puzzles? I love jigsaw puzzles, and I prefer the ones that are software programs. I have been dealing with cancer for several years, and over the years I've found this to be a very good way to relax and get my mind off pain and worries. I recently bought a new computer and the jigsaw puzzle program is for an old system and will not work on this new computer. The company that made the program no longer exists. I've looked at several online jigsaws, but they are all small photographs and tiny pieces. I have a widescreen monitor, and I'm looking for a program that will have or allow photographs which are large, say 800 x 800 pixels in size. This older software program had photographs of this size and larger. Can anyone help?

Rob R replied: "Try the software section of Walmart, Kmart or Staples. They should have an inexpensive nice program like that."

what's the largest number of pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that you have ever put together?♥? this question doesn't look right!☺ how many pieces like 100 piece puzzle or 500, etc., etc., it's sad when my own question is confusing! lol!☺ i'm NOT a dude!

lizzee replied: "5000 took a long time"

TEA replied: "100 - I think. Its been awhile."

Garfield replied: "500, i don't have the time to do them anymore. If there was a strippers jigsaw of 1000 pieces, well that's a different story."

marsh is damned replied: "5000 love them"

Tim J replied: "750,but my stupid cousin put in several hundred pieces from another puzzle.."

Jess replied: "3000. It was tough, too, because the picture on the box was only a third of the puzzle."

Polo replied: "999..... There was one missing and I didn't bother with any more after that."

Canadian RENThead replied: "100, ive attempted 1000 piece ones but i have a short attention span. After the first 10 mins, it isnt fun anymore."

Kayak Girl replied: "I always do 1000 ones, but my mom and I did a 5000 piece one once and it took 4 ever"

Ashley C replied: "300 piece at most, i have a 3000 piece but only did 1/4 of it"

Social Science Lady replied: "I haven`t done a large one since I was in my teens, I was attempting to complete a 1000 piece puzzle of Londons` Tower Bridge and the River Thames. However my older brother `stole` two pieces so he could say that he completed it. I was very `miffed` with him!!! It put me off jig-saws` for ever."

cardanja replied: "Once my blonde friend asked me to help her with a jigsaw of a tiger,it was only when i went around to her house that i found out it was a box of frosties"

What were all those weird colors as I flew into San Francisco? From the air I noticed large masses of what appeared to be wet land masses... orange, maroon, olive green, and gray. They almost looked like bodies of water they were so shiny. These were fit together like a large jigsaw puzzle, each piece easily being what appeared to be 50 acres or more. It appeared that little rivers flowed and made strange patterns in each... no two were alike.

SFNurse2B replied: "I live in SF and have flown in and out of the city several times and never noticed this phenomenon. You sure you did not just get some bad weed?"

PARKERD replied: "I'm not sure but I am guessing you saw salt evaporation ponds around the bay. They can be quite colorful."

Grouchy Dude replied: "PARKERD is right. The different colors are due to different speices of algae."

Jigsaw puzzle where you put several puzzles together for one image? When I was a kid, I remember putting together puzzles at my Grandma's house during the late 80's to the early 90's. I recall completing two or three separate puzzles, and then being able to remove the border pieces and clip them together, to form a larger picture. I don't remember what the picture was for sure; for some reason I think it may have been some kind of epic battle scene with each puzzle contributing more of the action. But it's been too long and my mind is like a steel trap; rusty and closed. I think it was something like a 200 or 300 piece puzzle; but again I can't say for sure. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? Do you know if I could get those puzzles today? Or are there any other puzzle designs where you complete puzzles independently and then clip them together for the 'bigger picture'?

bdogg replied: "you can take your own picture into a jigsaw puzzle/riddle/puzzle store and they can create a jigsaw puzzle for the picture you gave them."

Do you have any family traditions for Christmas? What? My family always put together a very large jigsaw puzzle. It would go on for days. Also We tried to see who could yell Christmas Eve gift or Christmas gift on those particular days. No one got a gift it was just fun "getting" the other family member.

Is the universe a joke, or an unresolved jigsaw puzzle? This is a serious question - doesn't the universe appear to be a large amount of apparently unconnected pieces, just like a joke without the punchline yet? Or a bunch of scattered jigsaw puzzle pieces that could actually form a picture? Is the punchline and the picture: God? Why was the joke told or the pieces scattered?

bittergirl replied: "Sometimes I think God is looking down laughing at his own personal joke. I don't think we will ever discover the punchline though."

Walden replied: "Maybe the universe is put together perfectly fine and we are the ones who are scattered in a million pieces. Perhaps. Perhaps not."

Ula replied: "If you really ask this as a serious question, I would recommend you go to a bookstore or local library and get yourself a copy of "Seth material" or "Seth speaks" by Jane Roberts!"

Sarge replied: "Science has been trying to understand what is beyond our earth, but has not fully learned countless mysteries that still exist here. Who knows what the universe is. You will only get a head ache trying to think about it."

Rakesh G replied: "universe is an unresolved puzzle for human kind. it is innate to human being to understand and then live or conduct himself. in the absence of being unresolved - his living and conduct is not deterministic and whatever he does/says, lands him into trouble. we humans have not understood universe. we have got two predominant explanations for it - one from science, and the other from religion. both have not been able to explain universe completely - therefore human is still experimenting and exploring."

Advice please, looking for goodies suitable for a an elderly lady with an Alzheimer's type illness? My MIL has vascular dementia - some days she is nearly herself and others more like a child - along with the tantrums & throwing things. She is in a care home where we visit her several times a week and try to make her as comfortable and happy as possible. She keeps rejecting things we take (for no particular reason we know of!) but often, she will just destroy items she does accept. I would really like to make sure she has at least the basics like a clock, radio, watch etc. which she can't easily destroy but which also aren't purely made for children (and supposed to be bright & indestructible!) Anyone have any ideas - I do have some catalogues (Help the Aged are OK but don't offer everything I want for her). Things like larger piece jigsaw puzzles with interesting pictures, clothing that is hardy but suitable for a short 85 year old - use your imaginations! As I say - I do have some sources already but anything new is good! We are UK based!

charlie c replied: "a good diary !!!!"

Frizzle replied: "There is a company called Age Exchange in Blackheath, London which runs a lot of reminiscence workshops etc - they may have items for sale. Check out some childrens / teaching catelogues - some of the items will be suitable for all ages. You want a clock that gets glued to the wall so she can't break it. Items like soft furry toys are good - something for the person to hold, and relax. Even something like a blanket (fur type) so she can have it on her lap when sitting. Maybe don't make a big thing out of giving her things - just put it near her / in her room, and let her accept it."

Mrs Badgrumbles replied: "RNIB might have something on their site"

ncgrl replied: "Have you tried cuddly dolls and stuffed toys, things that would stimulate a small girls interest. I see so many women daily cuddling their "babies". I dont reccomend a watch they can get caught on things and could cause scratches that are hard to heal. books with large print if she reads. If she is sometimes like a child then give her the things a child would love and appreciate. I am sorry I dont know of anything else."

charlie replied: "My father died two years ago after suffering from Vascular Dementia for years and in care for the final two. Photos and pictures on his walls were gd high enough up so he couldnt take them down.Biscuits and sweets which we shared with other folk in home who had no visitors. Mugs with his name on were good too and loads of slippers he was always loosing or getting his dirty. When he had good days he liked to potter in the little garden so this time of year bulbs for planting were good. A purse for his pocket for change to buy papers Good luck its such a demanding illness"

luvspbr2 replied: "I have a friend in a nursing home who is like that, she has good days and bad also. If your friend notices the time, put a clock on the wall, out of her reach. Many things you may want her to have, she has no use for anymore. She may have something from before she got sick, that would bring her comfort. When she is agitated, don't argue with her, she believes whatever it is upsetting her is real. I would suggest house dresses that snap up the front or sweat pants and tops or tee shirts. Comfort is the most important thing and these are easy to put on and launder. We also label everything with my friend's name, even the bathroom door. We put pictures of her over the bed, then when she thinks she's in the wrong place, we can show her that is her home. Best wishes to you both."

sage seeker replied: "My mom who has alzheimers does many of those things you wrote about. She still watches TV though can only follow music shows and likes the CMT channel. She also likes 'treats' like a hot fudge sundae, cookies and the like...and stuffed animals! If there are small children in your family try taking them to visit [it's good training anyhow] as most folk with dementia like children. For clothing - the new ballet slipper shoes are a winner with my mom and she likes the stretch knee high socks that have characters on them...like flowers, cartoons, etc. MUSIC...a simple CD player or if you think she can't manage that, a radio preset with a good music station that plays oldies."

justme replied: "I know this may sound silly, I was going to suggest beads but she may destroy them. Maybe some cuddly toys like bears and pandas, She might just take to them, and they are hard to destroy. It is such a sad disease to have. And wonderful that you take so much time and care for her."

Shari replied: "I recently read a letter in a favorite magazine of mine (Remin- isce), that said their picture filled magazines have been proven to help people with Alzheimers and Dementia to re- member scenes of their younger days. I enjoy them for they have pictures that I often can identify with from my childhood. So if you type, "Reminisce.com" into your search engine you'll reach their website for ordering one of their several magazines. The pictures inside are sent in from the people who read these magazines. And they also submit short stories about younger days, that are entertaining too. There is a cross word puzzle with questions having to do with the old days and there's always a food/recipe page as well. I would think any sturdy picture book of places your MIL has been to, would send her a reminder of her younger days, and make her smile. Or magazines, in case she chooses to toss or rip one up. I was reading a forum just yesterday about medicated powders you can sprinkle on the food of an Alzheimer patient, and it clears away the cobwebs so that they will think more normal. I wonder if you could find something like that at your pharmacy or thru her doctor. I didn't know anything was available til I read that. I think it's very sweet of you to want to make your MIL happy with something to cheer her. Good luck in finding more."

inthedark replied: "If the poor lady no longer appreciates the nice things in life perhaps you should restrict your self to practical gifts which keep her warm and clean."

beverley1156 replied: "How thoughful you are,I hope in her lucid moments she can appreciate you. Really,anything soft and indistructable is ideal,so clothing,bright pretty cushions for her bed,nice perfume,bright plastic jewellery and of course you cannot beat chocolates,fruit etc.What we consider as basics have often no meaning or value to people with this cruel illness,so do'nt feel guilty because she does'nt have them.Just keep giving her your time and love ,it is the best gift of all.xxx"

jenkin1950 replied: "I work in a home for people with dementia and Alzheimers. I average about 60 hours a week. What they will like and dislike is totally unpredictable. The one thing they all like is sweets and chocolate. Only one of the residents is interested in jigsaw puzzles. The female residents are all fascinated by the contents of one another's handbags. These are often mislaid or left somewhere like in a kitchen cupboard. Spectacles are another thing that some residents collect, so you have to (discreetly) go in search of them. Walking sticks are another thing. So are slippers and hairbrushes. A clock doesn't always mean much to them. You have to accept that they have slid into another sort of dimension, and they just need care, safety, warmth, people they are all right with ..."
