I did the same thing once with 15 jigsaws by tripping on the doorstep. I put them all in a big see-through plastic bag, took them to a craft show and put a notice on it saying: "The Ultimate Challenge -- there are 15 jigsaws in this bag. How good are you? I priced it for 14 jigsaws and it was the first thing to sell. Sometimes lack of patience has its reward. Magic

Carter,

At least you didn't make your wife help you. I know she likes your puzzles, I don't think she'd be to happy about this one (or twenty-one).

I guess if you want to get back at someone, you could give them 10 unassembled puzzles of the stamps and wish them luck.

Glad my bowls are 5 or 6 rings, maximum--I can handle that.

On the other hand, nothing got broken, and they say the worst incidents make the funniest stories down the road . . . but it must have been v-e-r-y annoying at the time.

My heart goes out to you Carter. My first thought would also have been to scrap them but....then again, my wife and I love jigsaw puzzles and after she would stop laughing at me, would probably help me re-assemble them.
