An Invasion of a "STRANGER" Kind.... NEW THREAD IS UP!! Go Thee NOW!

[englishrose47]

More on the previous later....



Meantime, the guessing deadline has come and gone- it's time to put this game to bed. I'll bet you are all dying to know just how you did on this little piece of fun we've been having! Aren't you? You are, right?!!




Alright, I'll stop messing with you, here is what you've all be waiting for; the REAL answers for the puzzle. As you know, you had to use the clues I gave you to figure out which of these restaurants- Jiko, Biergarten, The Plaza, Tea, Boma, Kona, and Teppan Edo- fit into which meal on each date given. Really, it boiled down to making educated guesses and using deduction. May I just state now, that you all did very, very well! I am proud of you, and can honestly say, that I'd proudly allow you onto my planning team at any time.... OH WAIT, you already are!!


So, without further blab, here are the answers for our last 7 ADRs:

8th- Kona Breakfast

9th- Jiko Dinner

10th- Teppan Lunch

10th- Biergarten Dinner

11th- Boma Dinner

12th- Tea for Lunch

12th- The Plaza Dinner


So. I'll bet you're all wondering what the standings are. Let me just say at the get-go, it was a VERY close game. So close in fact, that we have a 3 way tie for 3rd place!!!

It should probably by now, come as no surprise that Cynthia (eandesmom) has won yet again. I swear I'm not shooting her answers in exchange for Karate protection by her son!

By score here they are:

eandesmom 12
yinyangirls 10
Glennbo123 8
Carissanboys 8
Jenbear123 8
that'snice 7
Millie 7
My_Pal_Pluto 7

Flossbolna 7
Nodnol 6

MRYPPNS 5

Jordan?? Did you send me a PM?? I can't find it if you did!

Those were the people who guessed this round- others who played round one were: Diamondintheruff, starnightstarsky, IfUHadWings, Tinkgurl, Jenb1023, Oregonmommyof2, SleepingBooty, Winkers, Pooh'sMate, Kimmylaj, Piper'sMom, JenniferKeala, Jordan???

It would be VERY fun for some of you to pop in and tell us what went into your guesses. What clues helped you? Tell us your reasons and your rhyme!! It will help all of us be better planners!


THANKS, EVERYONE for playing along!! Stuff like this really helps to pass the time and is so much fun!! I think we MAY have time for one more game before I leave- but I'm still thinking on it!!

So, if the top 5 scorers could please send me their addresses, I'll make sure you're taken care of. I have henchmen waiting. Not really, I mean, oh never mind...

Yay !!! I loose !!!

You aren't going to believe this!! We just found out that our visas will expire at the end of July, and that we must leave the country to renew them. DH is telling me that it won't be worth it to do that for only one more month of time that we need for the month of August, so we may just come back to the States then. He's asking me to move up my trip dates, to coordinate with already being back East too. I asked Mary, and she said I probably should do this!!!!

Holy carp!

I hope Joseph has a speedy recovery in Istanbul!

My reasoning on the guesses was right on with glennbo, except of course I guessed lunch instead of breakfast for Kona - I forgot about Tonga Toast!

[All7OfUs]

Apparently, ALL of you don't know me very well yet!!

(Orange quotes me)

You aren't going to believe this!!

And you shouldn't have!!!


We just found out that our visas will expire at the end of July, and that we must leave the country to renew them.

Actually, our visas DO expire in July, but IF we need to leave the country to renew them, we will already be going to a neighboring country in June for a conference.

I suppose there IS a slightly small chance they will NOT renew them at all. We go through enormous amounts of stress every year at 'visa getting time'.

In that case, the joke will be on me.

DH is telling me that it won't be worth it to do that for only one more month of time that we need for the month of August, so we may just come back to the States then.

This actually may end up being true- in which case, Germany may still be on. We'd just move that up to when we left.


He's asking me to move up my trip dates, to coordinate with already being back East too.


Again. You do not know me very well. First off, DH would never tell me to move the trip up- he'd simply tell me to cancel it.

Secondly, I'd NEVER go in Augut!!



I asked Mary, and she said I probably should do this!!!!

YES! Mary was definitely ALL for this sweet little joke- and is laughing appropriately right now in Jackson!!!

I tried to think of other ways to getcha, but the story of Rebekah or Mikki being stolen as brides and us having to prepare a wedding party, just didn't sound plausible. I thought about saying my PM box was deleted and I couldn't do the game afterall, but you all would have just re-sent your answers, and then I'd have more work to do. No way. This one obviously worked very well!!!!

HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY!!!!​

Ugh! You got me!

[oregonmommyof2]

Okay, now that I am finally out of my Vicodin induced coma, I am going to try and catch up now...

 

[All7OfUs]

Ugh! You got me!



Kathy

I actually had to sleep with this going on. I wasn't very successful!!! Then, when I got up to finally spill the beans, it wouldn't let me log on for a long time!!!!! HA! I thought the DIS was going to get the last laugh!

 

[All7OfUs]

Okay, not that I am finally out of my Vicodin induced coma, I am going to try and catch up now...

I"m sooooooooooo glad you're feeling better!! I saw on your thread you turned the corner! Thank Heavens for good pain meds!

 

[jenbear123]

Ooooooo. You're good.

 

[All7OfUs]

Ooooooo. You're good.

I couldn't help myself!! I actually thought about this for DAYS!! Coming up with something believable was NOT easy!

 

[yinyanggirls]

You're evil. Almost as evil as my friend (a mother of 4) who showed her husband a positive pregnancy test (supplied by a pregnant friend).

 

[eandesmom]

You are GOOD!

I to you.

Very very impressive.

Oustanding.

Ohhhhhhhhhh, that's a great one!! I mean G.R.E.A.T.!! I HAVE to do that one on my DH next year. I CANNOT WAIT to see his face- especially since he's had the V job!!

 

[that's nice]

You pulled it off Liesa!!!! Nobody figured it out!!! LOLOL

NOW shame on you for doing this!!!!

You got me too...

 

[All7OfUs]

You are GOOD!

I to you.

Very very impressive.

Oustanding.

Why thanks!! I thought of all the folks on here, you or Tim or Glenn would surely have figured it out- especially when I switched out from using vague replies to simply

Now, though, if it really does happen, I won't get away with it. You guys would never believe me after this!!

My middle name is sly!

Do they have wolves in ____stan?

I was going to grill you on a WHOLE month delay and our dates not really overlapping but it would have required more brain power than I have at the moment. That might have involved math.

OK, then I would have felt REALLY, REALLY bad!! If you had done the math, though, my oh my, how sweet it would have been!!

 

[All7OfUs]

Do they have wolves in ____stan?

We do have wolves here. In fact, (this will give it all away) we have the world's largest population of Asian wolves. Only Canada has more wolves. One time last year, my DH had the 2 youngest out camping (outside sleeping) and a wolf came into the "way too close" vicinity! They tracked it for a while, but lost its prints. He grabbed the camera too late, dangit!

TMI for sure, but interesting!
