maryanne

Hi, Ladies-How I wish I could have joined this one. All the lists are great but I would love to have Amy's for the black elephant ears. You sent me one last year Amy in an exchange & I loved it, tried to save it but no luck. I bought 4 this year which were beautiful when I received, gave 2 away & my 2 died! I was at a greenhouse sale the other day & there was a pot of them & the price on them was $23, too much for me!It is so much fun watching each one pick the ones they want. Are you going thru twice or just the once, Shirley? I sure won't miss the next one. Can't wait to see the next pick. Blessings, Margaret

Margaret,

Whoever would have thought sweet little Jeanne would take Remy's box? Not me.............

Shirley

Sorry, Remy. It was the brugs... I have been wanting to try some. In fact, I traded for some last fall but they were newly rooted and didn't make it through the winter.

Hey you guys! I wanna play!!

Margaret, I hope you are looking on. I want to tell you that I got your prize package today. Thank you! What a wonderful surprise! (I really did expect to find underwear when I opened the box, but it was too heavy!)

Shirley, will the game go on forever at this rate? (You KNOW I'm dying to steal one that's already taken :O), and that, of course, makes me "not last" any more. Tell us the fine points of this game, pleeze?

Dottie

Shirley,
Can I steal Box #3 once again? It was many turns ago that it was stolen from me.
Once you let me know, I will either pick that one or pick another.
All the boxes are great, but for some reason eveyone likes to steal from me!!! LOL
Jeanne

Dottie-Actually if you take a box already chosen, then that person gets to pick again. So it could go on even after you choose. You are lucky though that your name got drawn last.

You only get to choose and steal if you are picking a box or if your box gets taken.

The only rule is you cannot take back the box that was just taken from you. However if someone takes your box on down the line you can go back and get the box that was taken from you the first time. Hope that makes sense. My family has gotten so good at this game we had to make a rule that if you get a box 3 times before the game ends it is frozen and no one can take it again.

Shirley

Jeanne,
If Shirley's explanation didn't make sense, yes, you can steal it back, lol. It is not in the hand of the original thief who stole it from you : )
Remy

It does seem that this could go on forevor. Poor Dottie :(

Okay. I choose Box #3.

i worked about 10 hours in the yard today - my body aches.

has anyone ever seen the PBS (mini) series, cranford? if not, i highly recommend it, especially if you enjoy period pieces. what a fantastic show.

okay, no one steal anything else from me, i'm getting a complex and i can just feel the tears ready to fall.

maryanne

Oh, okay . . . we can't have Earthly on the couch. I was eying her box (again, tee hee!) but I just can't do it. Instead, I'll take the box she made, #10. Sorry Theresa!
