    Many people say that a jigsaw puzzle is a way to kill time. Actually, it is a very important mental exercise. I am a senior, senior citizen, and we work puzzles to keep our minds, hands, and eyes sharp.

    I choose puzzles over TV everytime. Although I usually watch Chris Ramsey (a mind puzzle creator and magician) while I do my puzzles. I loved all the little facts you gave us. I'm the only person I know aside from my grandmother that spends a lot of time destressing with a puzzle.

    @@lesliegoddard8333 Thank you! I will look them up. I checked out your YT and subscribed, but I have to wait to watch your videos until after work. I am 6 degrees of separation from Lizzie Borden, so I will start there. I'm trying to get a proper channel going, but have not posted there yet (Vermont Sweet Breads - you'll appreciate the banner if you can find that channel...). Do you watch Bernadette Banner and her historical costumming sphere? I recommend her channel.
