I didn't even find the County Fair contest until it was over and done with! I just went back through the Daves Garden Forum and found the winners ... scroll down to the bottom and each category is listed and if you click on a category it will show the winners: http://davesgarden.com/contest/2010-daves-garden-county-fair
edited to say: Old, ditzy, forgetful blonde here ... now that I've looked through most of those County Fair pic's I realize I did indeed find the contest and even remember voting.

Nichole: You did make picks yesterday, November 10th 12:53 a.m. The ones called were 37, 3 & 53.
I have 6 so far!
I forgot to say, if I should get Bingo I forfeit any prize ... I just want to play for the fun of it and to chat with all of y'all again! So, when it comes down to the last calls ... if I holler Bingo, the next person in line can claim that particular prize!
Well, I know from the time zone differences it may have posted at 12am, but believe me, I was NOT up at 12am,! Those 3 calls were for my 11/9 at 10:59pm . . . but who's keeping track? I have no objection to making a few extra calls once in a while . . . we did get a late start after all . . . ^_^

Nichole: I forgot about the time zone difference, I guess it was 10:59pm for you and almost 1:00am for me but I think you are only one hour different than me ... maybe it's the time change from DST back to Eastern Standard Time? LOL, who knows ... sometimes I think I'm in a time zone all my own! ^_^
It's currently 10:41am here with a temp of 75ºF.
LOL Lin....this ditsy old white haired woman coudn't even find the link.Thank you.Maybe we are both in our own time zones ^_^.
Lynn
I am definately a zone-- just not sure which;)
^_^ So glad I'm not alone!
I do think the times here on DG may be messd up. It's 12:36 my time right now and Lynn, your last post shows 1:18 p.m. and Tommie's last post shows 1:24 p.m. ??!&% Aren't y'all an hour earlier than me?? I wonder if we have to re-set things in our preferences?
edited to say: I just came back to check and the time on my post is showing right for me, what about y'all?

i's only 1:00 here on Longboat now
Yep, I see the times below our username over on the left are out of whack! My last post says 1:38 but it was actually 12:38 ... I guess DG didn't fall back to standard time last weekend!
on my computer your posting time was 12:38. and then 1:15 Just trying to help
LOL, and it's still showing Daylight time for me. I guess I will head over to my "Preferences" section and see if I can correct it.
edited to say: This post shows 2:20 p.m. and it's actually 1:20 here right now.

Yep your edit time 2.21 ounder your name 1.20 it's your computer. Set your clock.
I just went into my DG Preferences and fixed it. It's weird but in the 4 years I've been on DG I don't ever remember having to change the time back and forth ... thought it was automatic somehow, LOL. I guess it's that Ditzy Blonde thing again. ^_^
I don't think the time issue here is because of daylight savings . . . I noticed the times I posted vs. the "DG time" was an hour off for weeks. I think maybe because the new owners are in a different time zone than where the site originated . . . just a theory.
Aha ... that's probably it! I think IB is headquartered in California.
Today's Bingo Calls:
33. Streptocarpus – Black Gardenia
29. Episcia – Strawberry Patch
40. Streptocarpus – Franken Lilac Lace
You do realize, that the majority of the Bingo choice list is also on my Want list . . . F. Lilac Lace is close to the top!
I only know that when I pared down my list to the required number-- I was psychic-- took off all the early calls;)
LOL Tommie,there is a lot more game to go.I was wondering what your strategy was.
Apparently, and this isn't the first time, my strategy is to eliminate the numbers most likely to be called. I made a list and then cut it back to the required number to play. This is the same every time I play--next time I will make a list, cut it back and send the rejected list. It has just been a while since I played and I forgot I meant to do it that way LOL. For me it is truly not whether I win or lose-- but the fun of playing the game--good thing ^_^
Could I suggest that another thread be started where only the bingo calls (with the entire call list also displayed.); we could still put comments 0n this page.
I am so confused now trying to find the calls in the mass of messages, I am not sure whether I have my list correctly marked or not.
It's not fun it is frustrating!!
Lane
Until Nichole can start a new thread strictly for calls, I went back through the thread for a list of what's been called so far:
3. Hoya Serpens
6. Nematanthus Hawaiian Jade
17. Chirita tamiana
18. Alsobia Chiapas
29. Episcia Strawberry Patch
33. Streptocarpus Black Gardenia
37. Streptocarpus Dark Shadow
40. Streptocarpus Franken's Lilac Lace
47. Streptocarpus Northwood Frosted Moonshine
52. AV Bon Bon
53. AV Crimson Ice
56. AV Galactic Storm
61. AV Knight Magic
I think I need a few bonus calls so I can catch up to everyone!
Per Jan's request . . .
34. Streptocarpus – Black Panther
49. Streptocarpus – Texas Hot Chili
27. Episcia – Outoasis
I had been keeping the original "pick" list up to date with calls made, but I posted that list in a new thread, so all can see what calls have been made and when. I posted the link at the very top of the first post in this thread.
and I didn't get one call,go figure.lol.
I've got 7 out of the 16 called so far. Did I mention that I'm just playing for fun? I forfeit any prize if I should get Bingo. I've been sick with a horrid cold the past three days and can't remember if I mentioned that I will not claim a prize.
Oh, Jan . . . it's only 16 calls so far . . . there are 59 to go!
thanks so much for the other thread, it is a big help!
Lin,
You do not need to forfeit your prize if you win !! It's very sweet of you,but not necessary at all ^_^.
To all players:
With Thanksgiving coming up,if you are going to be out of town and need someone to watch your card,please let me or someone else know. I know Aspenjocop has offered to help everyone out also.
Lynn
wow, i am way behind.lol got 3
bonnie
Just thought I would let everybody know how the game is going so far.
As of yesterday:
I player has 9
2 players have 7
1 player has 6
4 players have 5
4 players have 4
2 players have 3
Everybody is still in the game at this point. ^_^
Let's start making those hats with the special bingo antennas LOL.
Lynn
Thanks for the update Lynn, it makes the game even more interesting. I was very sory for Susan's sad news... does anybody watch her card? Why don't let Lynn do it while checking all other cards? it would be only fair to keep Sue playing with us
Maria,
I am still watching her card (along with everyone else) until she makes her final decision about continuing in the game and at Dave's.
I watch everyone cards,because I am the cardholder,but everyone needs to watch their own and call bingo when we get to that point.
I will post how everyone is doing ,especially when the competition gets tough.
Lynn
Lynn,
You're the best cardholder I ever knew (don't tell anybody it's my first bingo) lol
