I am ready to send in my guesses.

To whom do I send them? Monica?
And how do you want them listed?
Are we guessing the name and guessing the hobby?
Will points be given for both guesses, or will the hobby guesses be used as a tie breaker?

Like this?
Example:

#10. Name: XXXXX ------ Hobby: Collector of lovely colored glass bottles.

Thanks,
jg

Well getting this thing together and keeping it all straight made me appreciate more what all Robyn's been doing for us.

Send your PM's to me.

#10. Name: XXXXX ------ Hobby: Collector of lovely colored glass bottles

That looks good to me.

You don't have to guess the hobby if'n you don't want to.

Will points be given for both guesses, or will the hobby guesses be used as a tie breaker?

That's a good idea to use the hobby guess's as the tie breaker.

Yer ready already?!?!?! I'm with Marinus

Gen · Post by **Gen** » Mon May 05, 2008 10:47 pm

Me too!

I've been waiting around all day with Robyn hoping for some more hints. Some were pretty clear, but others I'm still scratching my head over.

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Mon May 05, 2008 11:08 pm

Which one do you all need a clue on? Certainly not mine, I'm easy, just ask around....

I have one person's guess's already. She got two wrong, lucky thirteen right.

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Tue May 06, 2008 2:01 am

Hmmm I need help with #'s 2, 3, 4 (still yuck), 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14

I kinda sorta have an idea on some of those but there's only a few I'm sure of. I have to go back to the beginning of this thread and the last contest thread to read if there are any hints there.

I'm a dork still stumbling round in the dark!

Don't even know what to call some of the hobbies.

Later ... much much later ...

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Tue May 06, 2008 12:45 pm

Ok I've read this entire thread and the last contest thread.

No mention of making crazy looking sausages, no mention of marathon biking, sketching, pottery, doll houses, I think I remember someone mentioning puzzles way back some time on some thread or volley ball.

Y'all have got to get some hints in here. Not only am I total crap at doing levels but this contest is making me feel stupider than I am!

And those of you that read but don't comment and have seen some hints somewhere....PM me and I'll send you the link and you can help me win this dang thing!!!!

Well, let's hope the consolation prize is this time better then with the last contest.

If not; let's have fun.

BTW. If you all are going to PM hints; don't forget me please.

About my hobby: You don't have to look further ago then 5 months.

What? Marinus, that's no hint!!!

We don't have time to read everything, everyone has posted for the last five months!

AHA!!!

Gen, I've got your number girliepoo!

(finally)

I still have about six of these Ecky Thumps to figure out.

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Tue May 06, 2008 9:44 pm

Robyn surely you don't need a hint on mine but if you want one I can send you one.

But I sent you a PM!

And you still don't know?

You're further then me yet; I have 14 to figure out.

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Tue May 06, 2008 10:02 pm

When Marinus sent me his pic I didn't even have to ask because I remembered the post where he discussed 'his hobby'. And I think he posted something about it not to long ago.

Dizzy yours might be hard for people to guess though. I don't remember if you've ever posted about 'your hobby' and I think a few will be quite surprised by it, I know I was. Hope I didn't give anything away.

You don't know how glad I am that I don't have to guess, I'm terrible at guessing. I can go thru a thousnd posts and still get half of my guess's wrong.

I think one of the pics (won't say which one) was also featured in the who's desktop comp. Another person should be easy, they gave you all a great clue in a post they made.

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Tue May 06, 2008 10:41 pm

Rose my love YES PLEASE!

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Wed May 07, 2008 12:11 am

Marinus, your PM hint was too vague! (for me anyway)

I'll go read it again though.

Monica, I didn't think anyone was having a problem with mine. Has someone asked for a hint? I've given lots of hints!

Oh well...here's two more hints: 1)Yamaha, 2)My signature.

If it's not enough, Dizzy, you may ask me everything.

jcvalcar2 · Post by **jcvalcar2** » Wed May 07, 2008 2:32 pm

We sure have alot of very talented people here in the land.

I also thought my hint was pretty easy, but if not say the word and I'll add more.

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Wed May 07, 2008 3:20 pm

Cathy do you want the guesses also?

Gen · Post by **Gen** » Wed May 07, 2008 5:10 pm

A big thank you to Monica and Cathy for putting this together and coordinating it. And to Robyn for providing the web pages! You all did a fine job!

rescuefire wrote:Cathy do you want the guesses also?

No

as much as I want to see the guesses, I'll wait to see what you all have to say

go ahead and send them to Monica. I just helped collect the pictures since I'm around during the day and she isn't.

Edit: you're very welcome Gen. I enjoy seeing what others do in their "spare" time. Monica and Robyn did most of the work and it turned out great!

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Wed May 07, 2008 6:07 pm

Monica, how many haven't turned in their guesses? I'm not the only one...am I?

THANKS, to Monica, Robyn and Cathy

for doing this. I've done Monica/Cathy's part before, so I know it can be an ordeal.

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Wed May 07, 2008 7:07 pm

So far I have guess's from

JanetGalle
Robyn
Gen

JG and Gen are tied but Gen guessed all the hobbies correct. We might have to give out an award for most creative guess's. Right now JG has that honor. Especially on that last one, she cracked me up.

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Wed May 07, 2008 7:20 pm

Oh and #4 you have some splainin' to do woman!

Is everyone gonna give descriptions of their hobbies? Cuz if they are I can't on one of mine...not here at least
