Thankfully, it was not the only place in town to get a jigsaw puzzle, but it was the only Minnesota-themed gift shop to buy jigsaw puzzles. (This is not relevant.)

    I guess YMMV with this because this really annoyed me and I just don’t see “why aren’t I finding the piece with the bird on it even when there’s only 100 pieces left?!” for 20 minutes as something fun.

    But at the very least, offer some normal puzzles too!

        It’s more ‘if we just sit on the internet all Sunday and don’t talk to each other, that would probably not be a healthy relationship’ thing, If I ran out of internet, there’s a very well-stocked bookshelf.

      You just described why I’ve always hated puzzles. And the neck pain and the back pain from leaning over it.

        I sympathize with the back pain part. I used to be able to spend hours on a puzzle, maybe even get through an easier 1000-piece on a lazy Sunday. Now my back can handle maybe 45 minute stretches before I have to straighten up for a while.
