Lilster!

Just wondering, is there anyone who STILL hasn't guessed my desk?

Since I love talking about myself, I will be readily available to give more hints. Including hints about my personality, family tree, past mistakes, love life (short version), interests (other than love life, and there aren't many) and my 'very brief' occupation as a brain surgeon.

OK, I sent my guess's in before I change my mind. I was going to wait for more hints but to tell the truth all your hints really shuck

Do you all still need a hint from me?

Here I thought mine was so easy. I'll tell you one thing it is not a laptop and I bet your all chomping at the bit just waiting for a clue from me. ha ha ha
But if you still need a clue from me let me know.

As for resizing the pics it doesn't help, everything is still fuzzy. you can blow them up and still not see a thing. I know, I tried.

Okay you need a clue. Here it is,

that ain't no i-pod.

As for the rest of you I'm putting numbers in a hat and doing a draw. I can't possibly do worse with that technique than I did with the eyeball contest.

BTW, we finally got that storm, lots of snow, lots of wind, lots of misery!

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Fri Feb 01, 2008 9:53 pm

Bob, if you'll pm me a sheet of paper numbered 1 through 16, I will fill it in for you!

I have NOT seen the answers.

Got your votes Mon-sterooni! Pathetic!

Would you like to try again.

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Fri Feb 01, 2008 10:08 pm

I now have guesses from the following participants:

Peegman
Duiveltje (Rose)
Uneekrose (Monica)
Laura N.
Anne Danner
Loirae

Some of you should've waited for more hints!

That's all I have to say about that!

Still no hurry though, since I'm waiting for Kiki.

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Fri Feb 01, 2008 11:02 pm

Well let me tell you. I had them all down then was putting them in a PM for you Miss Dizzy and I had one person at two different desks and well that just confused me some more. I had some of ya sharing a desk, which would have worked out fine for me. Now Bob just went and confused me some more.
You have to remember Bob and Kiki have wives who probably clean everyonce in awhile around that desk. My hubby's side where his PC is really cluttered but not near as bad as it used to be and he's a certifiable slob, he hates for me to touch anything over there. I'm lucky to have the space I etched out for meself.
At least I know for sure i got two right. Did I get yours Diz? Is that M on the one monitor a logo for MI state? Did anyone notice #1 has a pic of their PC chair showing on their montor. That was a neat idea.
The results should be hilarious.

Ok gang after loads of swearing and stupid mistakes I changed the page.

When you go back to the desk page hit your refresh button to be sure you have the latest version.

Now when you click on a picture it will enlarge. I made the max size 800 pixels wide. Some had to be grown and some had to be shrunk (sheesh number 2!) but you can see a tad more detail now I guess.

Now I have to scroll up and see what hinty's I missed hehehe

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 12:27 am

I couldn't get some of them to come up, will try it again tomorrow. Your so wonderfull Robyn, does this mean I can change some of my guess's...huh...huh Dizzy.

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 12:28 am

Oh yeah....I shoulda mentioned. Some of them take awhile, even with high speed, to come up....just be patient.

I still need a clue from Anne cuz I had to change what I thought was hers cuz of someone else's clue

Bob? iPod? Ok I'm an ijit...I don't get it

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 12:46 am

Good job on the new pics Bobbin! You are the best!

THANKS!

Ya know, while we're waiting for Kiki, we could start thinking about the next contest. We're relentless with these contests aren't we?

And we could decide who's doing it next time. A mere thought; you don't even have to take this into consideration unless you feel led by a higher power.

Nice job Robyn,

to bad you did it AFTER I sent in my votes.. I might have been ahead of Loops

If you take a good look at my desk shot you will see an item that I forgot was even there. We used to listen to music on it.

Here's another hint,

It's old school.

BTW, when do the guesses have to be in?

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 2:34 am

I'm not sure if Dizzy will go for it but, what I did on the last contest with the eyes was let folks change their answers up until the deadline.

It really doesn't have to be set in stone, especially since folks are still giving hints and all.

Whadda ya say Dizz?

As far as the next contest goes....does the winner of this one get to choose the topic? I'll still do up a page for it if someone else will do what Dizzy did this time.....as in receive the pictures, number them and send them to me. Whoever does this can't send the list until all the entries are in or I'll know who's is who's. Then this person would have to take the guesses, add em up and post who won. I can help with that too cuz once the deadline hits it won't matter who knows who's who

right?

I want to wait for Kiki to get his computer. Is that crazy? So you've got lots of time. I don't like to rush things. After all, this is supposed to be fun...not 'timed'.

You may change your votes any time you'd like! Not a big deal since we've got spare time.

laura n. · Post by **laura n.** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 3:41 am

Reall we can change our votes ... well now that I've got a larger view of things there are a few i'd like to change around

popo · Post by **popo** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 9:10 am

Sent my guesses in. The larger piccies helped with a couple of them.

Your a sweetie Dizzy, I knew you would. I wish we could get another hint from Rose also. She doesn't seem to be around as much as the rest of us, just pops in and out. Another from Anne would help also.

The pics do come in larger and have a bit better detail. I still can't get #13 to come up, it comes up blank with a little x in the middle of it.

laura n. · Post by **laura n.** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 2:01 pm

I'm havign the same problems with #13

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 2:41 pm

Ok sorry gang. #13 is fixed. Small syntax error on my part. The server had 13.JPG and the page was looking for 13.jpg DUH touchy touchy stuff I guess hehehe

Hey Diz, Keeks has no monitor. How about lending him your 'Etch-A-Sketch' for awhile?

I would do that, except the 'right' (left for Kiki) knob isn't functioning properly at the moment.

Now, we all know the left (right for Kiki) knob on an 'Etch-A-Sketch' controls the horizontal (vertical for Kiki) drawings and the right (left for Kiki) knob controls the vertical (horizontal for Kiki) drawings, therefore; it is impossible to draw a box........or a crate, let alone a boulder!!

So, my point is...........................that's strange......I've lost my point!

laura n. · Post by **laura n.** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 5:51 pm

My daughter has one she could loan him, and we live pretty close, i'll bet it'd reach him before his new puter does
