Snow to 80 in 8 days–A spoonful of Holiday Cheer (2/5 update Ch 36 - Final Thoughts)

[mom3sonstt]

Okay you ninja poster, I'm going to bed now and think about whether I should give you a bonus point for suffering through my boring writing without the benefit of Disney pictures to help you through it.....

Ah, but Marv, it wasn't boring......I would see a comment like "this made me think of Rosie" and all I saw was a little blue icon - I could imagine all sorts of things that could make you think of dear, sweet, innocent Rosie.

And the comment about what Juliensen (sp??) was thinking in "this picture".....again, I had to imagine what he was up to myself.


I have gone back now and checked out your pictures. I had kind of forgotton the Italian Witch storyteller - she was another of my favorites. Of the ones I saw, you saw the best ones.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Cool! Bonus points...

Is it bad that I'm finding myself more interested in coming up with off-the-wall answers rather than actually guessing correctly?

First of all, glad you enjoyed the updates. Secondly, you have a point there about the numerous things that could be a reminder of Rosie!

And the comment about what Juliensen (sp??) was thinking in "this picture".....again, I had to imagine what he was up to myself.

So were you close????

Yes, at least of couple of those came highly recommended!!!

Cool! Bonus points...

No Way!!! It would be really boring for me if I just had to verify a whole bunch of boring and similar answers! I hope everyone has some fun with it!

Oh, I got a bonus point in the 1st contest! Going to see if I can somehow catch up in the 3rd one.

And no, I would not like to be known as Lil Rosie, as flattering as that may sound.....I think I'll just stick with being Yuki.

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

Looks like you are working to perfect that craft already.......

 

[Poolrat]

Someone with my skills would never put his spoon collection in jeopardy by carrying them in a bag that had to be searched at the entrance. Not unless I have them buried inside of a few blankets like a bottle of champagne so when they feel the bag they don't notice they are there........

The only way to travel with booze.

And then there would be those who say "shoot, I should have gone with my gut on that one; I had it right!"

I see a shout out!!!

I'm confident you can! It's not like anyone is way out in front of everybody else!!!

Yes, I guess that would be flattering, but you remind me more of a Yuki than a Rosie for sure........

The only way to travel with booze.

Really? I could have sworn I have used a few others......

I see a shout out!!!

I'm so excited that I'm actually still in the game! Hope everyone has a great weekend! Guys, don't forget your valentine!

Same to you Tammie! And thanks for the one you sent me that is in my sig!!!

 

[3prettyprincesses]

I agree, but I see two problems with that philosophy. Either I won't ever get to read her answers and therefore she will never score any points OR I WILL read her answers and knowing Molly she will negate ALL of her positive points with negative points and still won't be any better off.......
Nobody has been shut out so far. I think I'm making the questions too easy!!!

What do you think of this for a potential question for the next round....

When Marv and family ate at Tutto Italia, outside of the DDP how much additional did Marv have to pay to settle the bill (within 5 cent)?

Hey! I'm not planning to negate my points mister! Just remember to read my responses when you're extremely happy, that's all! Maybe do a little yoga beforehand too, to make you relaxed. Oh but wait, you can't read my responses because you haven't posted another contest yet... Good thing I'm bumping up your thread here for you too Marv, you were all the way on page 3 I think! Don't I get bonus points for that?

I think Marv probably thinks since he did 3 updates in one crack that he can wait three weeks before he does another. Yes, where is that next contest, Marv?

 

[All7OfUs]

Hi Marv,

Busy weekend??

 

[marvali]

Sorry everyone for the lack of posts on here. I posted to a lot of threads this morning and then decided since I had some time I would update my virus software which had expired. Of course you also get these messages about available updates for about 8 other programs once you get started. I had no idea it would take all freakin' day to get everything loaded and updated!!!

Finally got it all done. About to head out for a Valentine's banquet at our church that is a fundraiser for our Brazil Mission team! Might get to post some stuff later tonight. Don't have the next round of contest questions ready yet, but I spent a lot of time last night getting pictures ready for the next updates so I can figure out what questions I want to use.

Well, shoot. Those are all good reasons so I can't complain!
Have fun at your banquet tonight! Good luck with the fundraising too!

 

[All7OfUs]

Great reasons to not be on. I have never downloaded any protection for my new netbook, and NEED to!!! I guess I'll go with free AVG.

I hope the fundraiser went super well!! You ARE taking Ali out as well, right?? or was this what you had planned??

 

[SurfinTX]

No worries Marv. I know how computer troubles can really put a crimp in trying to post TRs. Looking forward to the next round of questions! I really thought someone would have overtaken me only getting 3 right.

 

[that's nice]

It's usually Mel shaking her head at Tim.......

That it is Marv, that it is.

Okay, working on some soft toss questions for the next round so Tim can get a few right........

WOO HOOOO





I thought of you today Marv! (No, not in THAT way. ) I was in the grocery store and I took a picture of something that reminded me of you. I wonder if I should just post to on FB or on here. I have to get it off my phone first though.... hopefully tomorrow. I'm beat. Lata!

 

[Sleepingbooty]

Well, another side effect of random guessing is that I have no idea what my answers were! At least I'm "on the board" with a bonus point to boot.

So, about how long do you think each storyteller's presentation lasted? Would it be possible to get them all in during one afternoon? I can't wait to see all this next December - so looking forward to a Christmas season visit!

 

[englishrose47]

Just popping in before work !!! If any down time may post a few this evening !!!

 

[MEK]

What a great idea - to get you and the boys separate rooms. The last few times I took my boys we ended up staying in 2BRs which really eat up the points. My son my oldest will be 18. I think that allows him to stay alone.
You got a really nice location and view of the pool. I think the standard views at Kidani are a great use of points (because I am always point poor).

I loved your pictures in the world showcase. You got so many great up close details and I really enjoyed seeing the story tellers. It makes me want to go back for Christmas in the near future.
