I'm Baaaaaaaaaaack! Yahooooooooooooo!!!
boy they got my PC to me real fast, I had it up and running earlier but have been at me sisters house for the Super Bowl dinner.
But now I'm back and this puter is a great and fast and crisp and clean and just plain cool, Dell XPS 420,

I am still getting use to it and am way behind but I will try to get my picks in the next day or so.

PS - I desk should be the easiest to pick with a whopping clue on it.

Oh my gosh, I bet you were going nutso

without the computer. I would be! sheesh!

No hurry on your picks Kiki, we've waited this long for you; we can surely wait another couple of days.

I bet you were going nutso

You really find out how much your PC is a part of your life, My new PC should give me many years of none grief, Fingers crossed.

Its good to be back though, I already made a level too but still have to do a bit of fixing there, Plus the Super Bowl is still on so I'm watching that too, Its the fourth quarter and the Giant just scored to take the lead.

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 2:19 am

Yes, I'm watching the game too. Very excited about your new puter.....I think I'll get the same kind. Sounds like a great one!

Don't stay up all night playing with your new toy though!

I love the size and clarity of the monitor, BTW! I thought it was the monitor on the old PC that went out but it was more, much much more, like the whole thing went belly up.

Glad your back Kiki & really happy you're pleased with your new toy

Welcome back kikikins.

As for the contest, had I known so many people would be giving more and more and more hints, maybe I wouldn't have sent my votes so early. But then I read the clues and I don't think I would've changed anything so Diz, what I sent you still stands - Final Answer.

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 11:42 am

Good to have to back Keeks - missed ya buddy

Your new PC sounds faberooney!

Bobbin - you did a wonderful job on the website by making the photo's enlargeable - thanks sooga booga!

Hope all you Merry Cans enjoyed the Superbowl

Dizbomb - I should get my guesses to you later today - sorry I am all behind but I had a busy weekend ..... hic!......

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 12:09 pm

No hurry Lilliepoozter.

I still need guesses from: Janet Galle, Robyn, Bob, Laurie, Lillie and Kiki,
but like I said...no hurry.

If you're mentioned above, but you're swearing you've already sent your guesses in to me, please send them again.

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 2:30 pm

Ok sent my guesses in

wonderfull · Post by **wonderfull** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 2:33 pm

I'll get my pathetic attempt at guessing in today Diz. I was hoping to find time to look through the hints and make an educated guess, but it looks like I'll have to do the 'ol hat trick after all. Too much happening around here lately!

Robyn, I never rec'd. your guesses! Where did you send them?

wonderfull · Post by **wonderfull** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 3:36 pm

Just pm'd mine to you Diz.

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 3:48 pm

Just sent you mine Dizzbomb!

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 4:01 pm

Lilliepooperhead, you seem confused!

Got both of your guesses, Laurie and Lillie.

Edit: Sorry Robyn, your guess went to the 'Spam' folder!! You've got to stop talking dirty in your emails.

ps. I think it was goofed up because I 'cleaned up' a few things in my computer, so now I've put you back into my 'accepted' group.

kiki · Post by **kiki** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 5:26 pm

Well I'm off for the day so I'll take a look at some of the hints and make my picks. there are two I know for sure well three is I count my own.
Thanks Lil and Loops and Laura and all its good to be back, I thought I would be gone alot longer but Dell got right on the ball and sent the puter out.

janetgalle · Post by **janetgalle** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 9:01 pm

OK, my guesses are in.
Hopefully some are correct.

PS: Bob, I looked for your Victrola but I couldn't spot it.

So good to see you back Kiki. Glad you got a new puter, it's always fun when their new.

I've been having troubles with my PC, I turned it on yesterday and it wouldn't start, said I had a corrupt file. Sometimes I just hate XP, it wouldn't let me go into safe mode or any of the other options they offered. If they would have I could have just replaced the dll file. Ended up having to do the recovery thing.
What a nightmare that was. It kept all my files though. Had to reinstall just about all my applications and drivers. I'm still finding things there but not really there and having to reinstall. I've been running all sorts of system utilities to make sure everyhting else is allright. Sometimes I miss windows 98 at least if it wouldn't start I could always still get into my hard drive and take care of the problem. At least my Wonderland info was still there.

My guess's will have to stand Dizzy. I don't have time right now to change them. I can't wait to see who's is who's and who got mine right.

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 11:46 pm

Ok, so now the only guesses we need are Kiki's.........but no hurry!

Edit: Robyn, do you have a fax machine at home? That would be so much easier. No biggie if you don't though. Just let me know please and thank you.

kiki · Post by **kiki** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 12:45 am

I just E-mailed my picks to ya Diz.
That was fun but alot of the clues baffled me

kiki · Post by **kiki** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 1:01 am

Thanks Monica, You certainly have my sympathies on your PC, It is so frustrating when things just aren't up to par.
Good luck with it.

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 1:03 am

Got it Kiki, Thanks!
Yes, some of the clues were mathematical, that's where I was 'lost'!

I can't find Robyn anywhere, so we will have to hang on for a bit........or maybe even tomorrow.

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 3:57 am

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 4:01 am

It's 10 p.m. here and I'm very tired, so I'll check the PM's in the morning and announce the WINNER!!!

laura n. · Post by **laura n.** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 4:16 am

Obviously I can't speak for the other ladies, but you all left some pretty good clues, & I already knew some of the desks or desktops from other photos posted on here

And by searching for hours reading old posts about your habits, likes etc...
I had a really tough time with yours Bob, until you posted your clue about the " the old school way of listening to music" ( I was actually looking for a 8 track player there for awhile

) Ann Danner's was the hardest, by process of elimination I left her for last

Congratulations Kazzie & Loirae

Yea sure, I think this is the second contest in a row where I'm coming in dead last!

Okay, your 'favourite shoes' contest, I'll bet I'ld be good at that or 'what kind of watch do you wear' or 'what's your favourite drink' or 'match the pet to the owner' or 'match the kid to the parent'....

Loirae · Post by **Loirae** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 4:52 am

Can't we just have a nice tie?

Or, give it to the person who got all the guesses in Correct AND Frist.

Whatever. Your game, your rules. I sent in my number. <should've made it a math problem, though...
