UPDATE: sept ~petal pushers~ shade swap-let's play!!

I am breathing a sigh of relief right now. Most of the day, today, I spent trying to get on line. I finally made some changes to my firewall and well here I am. I know you've all been waiting with baited breath. So without further ado here we go!

I assigned each person a number (#). This # corresponds to not only their box but also is the order in which they will choose.

~HOW THE GAME WILL BE PLAYED

~When you choose a box please use the box number (#)

~There will be 3 (three) rounds or whenever the last box has been chosen, which ever comes first:

*The first person, #1, chooses a box.

*The second person, #2, either chooses a box or steals
#1's box. (If #1's box is stolen they get to choose
again but they can not steal the box back.)

*The third person, #3, chooses a box or steals a box.

*The game will continue this way until the last person has chosen.
EXCEPTIONS-You may not steal back a box from the person who stole it from you.

You may steal that same box if someone else steals it from the person who stole it from you.

Once a box has been stolen 3 (three) times it becomes frozen for the remainder of the game.

If anyone has questions please don't hesitate to ask...I'm new at this myself.

THE REST OF THE RULES
1. Your box must be mailed out no later than 7 days after the game is finished.

2. Boxes must be mailed Priority with a Delivery Confirmation #.

3. You must post the Delivery Confirmation # when you sent your box.

4. If you are new to Petal Pushers you must send your box first.

5. All GW rules apply.

6. You may NOT swap out/or exchange any of the 5 plants you listed as the contents of your box. If there is a serious problem contact me.

7. We all need to check the thread out daily to see when our turn comes up. If anyone is absent for 3 days in a row we'll have to continue without you. You can then choose when your turn comes up again.

    Well, I'll be at work today too. I'll try to check in but no promises. I'm sure though that I won't have to worry about it because you all will be busy stealing and bombing and bringing out enraged kitties etc.

    Play nice girls. I don't want to read about any casualties when I return.

    I'm not happy that Tracy now has box #12 twice! I was hoping to have possession of it 3 times.

    Tracy just so you know I attached a spiked chain to my weed wacker. Yes indeed I did. It now rips the plants right out of the ground. Guess who I'm going to visit???

    I see everything is slowing down.

    I've gotten my DH to help me in my veggie garden....Don't want to take the chance he'll change his mind. We're doing a complete overhaul up there. Just had 22 2x4x8's delivered which will border the beds. The soil is really terrible here. I could start a business making clay pots.LOL Wish we had a truck I'd love to get a bunch of rabbit manure. We filled up about 5 lg. plastic bags with the stuff about 12 years ago. Neither of us are physically able to do what we use to though. I bought plastic mulch for in between the beds. It's made from recycled plastic bottles and lasts for 10 years. Tried cedar mulch one year and all of it washed away during a heavy rain. Did I say that we live on a hill??? Anyway I'll be in and out all day so I can check in.

    Barb I slept in late this morning 6 am.

    Sue-I can't believe you emailed me when it was my time to choose. LOL

    Denise, sorry to snag your swag last night, it's all Carmen's fault! She made me do it.

    You guys have been having too much fun! I wish I had time to go back and read all the threads, but I will have to do that tomorrow morning.
    I won't have time to get back on until tomorrow morning so I am going to email my choice to my friend Tracy who owes me for blowing up my yard. If no one objects, she can submit my choice for me if she is around to keep from holding up the game. If that is a problem, that's fine. I will be back in the morning to do it myself.
    Have a fun afternoon!!

    Actually, baby Allie is in the hospital for dehydration. She has "rotovirus" (diarrhea, upset stomach) which probably is just uncomfortable for adults but can be hard on an infant.
    After I get my reports finished I am going to take over at the hospital so that Olivia can go to class tonight, hence I will not be back online until the morrow.
    Thanks Tracy! I will remember this when my trigger finger starts feeling itchy!

    My deliberation process was interrupted by the phone. It seems someone stole my husband's credit card number so they're having to cancel his card and issue a new one. Want a good laugh? The people who stole his number used it at an online Christian t-shirt site, where they purchased just less than $2000 worth of silkscreened tees! LOL! How crazy is that??????

    Okay, again, I'll be back. Right now I'm thinking box 4
