NewTricks Posted September 28, 2023 Author ID:1591954 Share Posted September 28, 2023 My Disability Services Coordinator, Melissa at the summit of a mountain by Old Forge. She's the person who provides puzzles, space to do them, official support with classes, intervention with instructors, creative solutions problems, equipment loans and electronic gifts. Her Department is where I do the puzzles. I met Rebecca yesterday, the young student who had started the Halloween Candy puzzle. We compared notes on those missing pieces. I was drawn to her-she whipped out her cell phone and wrote me short phrases I could read in order to communicate. 😊That was nice. Despite her doing most of the work already she asked if I wouldn't mind her joining me. That was so cute! And yes, I have waffled once again, and do some when the spirit moves me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewTricks Posted October 4, 2023 Author ID:1593135 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) On a dashboard for my coursework, I see something familiar from Post ID:1583519 This Tiles puzzle also caught the eye of someone who designed Brightspace. Small world. FYI a snippet from Wikipedia: Brightspace combines a Learning Environment, ePortfolio, Learning Repository, Video Recorder, Virtual Classroom, and Mobile apps, in one cloud-based platform.[20] Disclaimer, all the above links may not work.

NewTricks Posted November 17, 2023 Author ID:1600383 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) I ventured into the "office" today and saw an abandoned Charles Wysocki puzzle. Part of the reason is (apparent) missing border pieces, despite 3 people scouting them out. The cottage was partially done, but incorrectly. So I moved and shifted some pieces, which led to this area coming together. I make no plans for continued work, whatever happens, happens. Taking a photo helped me see one misplaced roof piece. This puzzle is diabolical in that pieces not having an exact fit seem to be OK. Edited November 17, 2023 by NewTricks grammar 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewTricks Posted November 29, 2023 Author ID:1602339 Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) Seems like being bummed about the majority of the border pieces missing is spurring us on to conquer this. I'm doing the left side, hunched over the table with my nose 5 inches away from the pieces. It's working.

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted November 30, 2023 Root Admin ID:1602356 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Missing borders would really dissuade me from trying to complete it. Glad you have the resolve and determination to proceed 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think of it like having a brief relationship with someone I never would have chosen, but started to look at differently once they were in front me. There's something I can learn from it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewTricks Posted December 4, 2023 Author ID:1603243 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Going the distance with this because it's SUCH a mind bender. All my strategies didn't work, so I took a metaphorical machete to hack through the tangled 'undergrowth.' I resisted annoyance & frustration and exited through appreciation for the person who designed this ribbon cut puzzle. Next, the sky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewTricks Posted December 5, 2023 Author ID:1603288 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Thank you, it's nice to have encouragement. This particular experience has shown me that a change of perspective is the key to moving past things I "must have." (I must have the border first, I must like what I am doing, I must finish it in a certain amount of time, I must get 'in the zone', I must have absolute certainty, I must prove myself) Strangely, leaving all that behind has given me more satisfaction and desire to continue.

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted December 5, 2023 Root Admin ID:1603291 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I agree, not an easy road to change to, but obviously many projects or issues can have multiple ways to approach it. Just have to keep an open mind to other possible methods Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So very true and this was a perfect example. The end result, in numbers, is 55 missing. Out of 1000, according to my math, that's 94% present. Good enough certainly to get the picture, but leaves an undescribable feeling behind. When I figure it out, it will become a decision point. So long, Charles Wysocki's "Supper Call." As if those boaters could hear that horn anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
