i'm in 88th place, but i moved up 157 spaces from last week! and yep, i see i got 105 points, not 95, so they did put my 10 alex points on shawna. "that'll learn 'em!"

Suzsmarmie.......Belated Congrats!!! Sorry about that. So that means we have 6 out of the top 20 spots as of right now.........COOL!!!

Well, Tabby.....now we know that those who went in and changed after the show did get credit....so guess we will never know what the problem was. Thanks for sharing that with us. If it is a Thursday versus Wednesday thing because of a previously built-in clock, then the same thing can happen next week.

and we can just wait til it's over and save the trouble of having to go in twice...lol it must be a built-in clock.

Oh sure! I move up to 26th, and you only rave on the top 20. *sniff*

I think Cathie (currently 17th) is one of ours. At least, she was a TVCH Picker on Yahoo (assuming it's the same Cathie).

Tabbyking

it's the same cathie. she is doing well, isn't she! and 26th place counts in my book, so i am proud of you whoami!!
with my 88 spaces, about all i have in common with anything is the number of keys on a piano....LOL
maybe next time i can get to accordion size. it has to have less keys than a piano!

Alaginger

Friday, March 21, 2003 - 01:47 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
AND IN THE TOP 26 WE HAVE: OWL, MICK, GRANNY, SEAMONKEY, ALAGINGER, CATHIE AND THE INFAMOUS WHOAMI. BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
clap

Whoami

Granny......as promised, here's your bump!!!

Of course, after last week's showing, it might appear that you will have up to 24 hours after the show airs to go in and make your picks (still can't figure that one out).

Alaginger, You will always be my hero!! You have posted some really good stuff this week. I love it when you do that!! It is so exciting to read all of the what if's. Thanks a bunch!!

Thanks for the bump, Ala. I just returned here to find my name in lights!! Awwww....you guys are the best. Thanks for the warm round of applause. I don't care where it is, it'll always be "THE TVCH TEAM" to me, so I'm getting it for the team!

Whoami

Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 07:32 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Well, I guess I'll move down. I picked Alex!

Tabbyking

Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 07:35 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
if i move anymore down, i'll have to change my area code to 205.........

Alaginger

Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 07:54 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Hey Tabby king......you must be close to Alabama....... I used to have area code 205 when I lived on the Eastern side of the Bay from Mobile. That's where I lived when I originally set up my screenname......hence alaginger!!! So, if you keep going down, I'll call my sister and make sure she puts the coffee on and I'll drive over and meet you and we can cry together...cause I picked Alex, too!!!

Tabbyking

Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 09:49 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
nope, i actually have never been to alabama, but ruben is from there (on american idol!) and he wears all those long shirts that say 205 on them. my area code is 209, so close....but so farrrrr away. central california. too bad i am so far away, because i would love to meet you for coffee! maybe we can just drink it at the same time tomorrow...LOL i will have mine at 7:15 pacific time, so that's 10:15 for you.

and where's egbok? she always cheers me on during my track snack shack concession days!
my son is disappointed because the university of california puts out its acceptances tomorrow. he was going to set his alarm for 5:00 a.m. and check. he saw on the website tonight that the list will be posted online at 3:00 p.m. i have to leave the house by 2:30 to be set up and cooking the hotdogs already for the 3:30 meet time; otherwise, i can't get my car in past all the hurdles and double-parked school buses...to park near the concession stand. i would never make it carrying 27 loads from the street to the stand! i took 96 bottled waters, 72 assorted sodas, and 96 power ades down today to get them in the big refrigerator, but still the crock pot full of bubbling cheese, the chips, the condiments, the napkins, the electric skillet, weiners, buns, candy, sunflower seeds, bowls for the nachos...no, i'll have to be gone from the house before the list is posted. poor kyle!! he'll be nervous all day between the track meet and not knowing about cal until we get home at 7:30 or so. keep your fingers crossed for him, please!!

I'll cross fingers!! I went to Cal way back when..

Alaginger

Okay, Tabby.....I'm here with my cup in hand.....

Oh, and fingers crossed, too!!!

Let's Pick 'Em has tallied for Episode 6. We still have Owl, Mick, Granny, Cathie, Suzsmarmie, Seamonkey, Alaginger, and Whoami in the TOP 30. (Note: I had to drop the TOP 26 to the TOP 30 to catch everybody - LOL). Alex did us in a little bit, but we still have a grand showing!!!

Also, I'm proud to announce that Let's Pick 'Em managed to close their picks in a timely manner this week.

Thank you, Ala!! I went there this morning and saw I have a firm grip on 15th place - LOL!! From now on, I'm following Mick - the heck with Snewser!! Good job, TCCHers!!

Suzsmarmie

Friday, March 28, 2003 - 06:29 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Preview - then post, duh!! TVCHers!!

well, my son did not get in to Cal, so it looks like Cal Poly for him. (at least Ca Poly has a very good engineering program, too!) he was disappointed, but they had 32,000 applications and can only accept 6,500.
thanks for the good wishes and the cup a joe we shared!
i'll have to see how far down i've slid in this game. what has more keys than a piano?.......

Alaginger

Friday, March 28, 2003 - 08:33 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Tabby.....I've played piano for 54 years now, and do not know what has more than 88 keys. What's the answer? I know I am going to feel stupid when you give the answer to us.

Suzsmarmie

Friday, March 28, 2003 - 08:39 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Question: What has more than 88 keys?

Answer: A redneck construction worker (I'm from the South; I can say that) LOL!!

Tabbyking

Friday, March 28, 2003 - 08:40 am EditMoveDeleteIP
alaginger, no, i really want to know what has more than 88 keys, because last week i was 88 on the list at letspickem, and could console myself with knowing something else had 88, too, and that was a piano!...and this time i am 173 or something!

if it will make you feel better, i will give a real (made-up) answer and say: "a landlord with 173 rental units!" lol

funny guess about the redneck construction worker!!!
