FYI.... It took 279 days to get our first thousand members... It took 246 days to get our next thousand members.... It only took 130 days to get our next thousand members...
Any bets on how long it will be till we are running 4000 strong??

I'll put a few bucks down on 100 days....since that's one of my lucky numbers.....Wow, 3,000 members ....I remember thinking when I joined that I'd have been here for a while when it hit 1,000 people more than me.......it's gone by quick I think.....I read for a while before joining, because it's always strange to me to join in a forum where people already know each other.....but, I'm so glad I did, and I hope that anyone who isn't a member already that reads this joins us too!

You don't actually believe I'm going to give anyone 5 bucks if I lose, do you?

Ah-hem.....I'll hold the pot..... Sure give it here.....I'll keep it nice and safe.....I wont' be tempted to go shopping with it or anything.....lol
Cindy I guess like you said, if nobody hits the exact day it should just be whomever is closest.....unless 2 people are equally as close before and after the day, then would we go with the closest without going over???
I was born to gamble, although sadly my wallet doesn't know that....

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........ This isn't "betting" is it? Nawwwwww.... We're not betting! Isn't this more of a "pool" like they have for football games etc.?
I've got my five bucks to put in the pool!

Who holds the money, or do we just PM our address if we win to everyone and they all just mail it directly?
Do we take "PayPal"? (I love PayPal!)

I agree with Cindy,we need to have a cutoff point for guesses. I dont see anything wrong with everybody just mailing the 5 bucks to the winner. 1 guess should be the limit,dont ya think?
This is gonna be fun!

You can all send me 5 bucks each when I win....lol Seriously though, I think sending the 5 bucks to the winner is fine.....as long as nobody backs out of sending it just because they didn't win.......

Ahh, but that's the beauty of PayPal! You don't HAVE to have a credit card! Just any bank account that they can transfer money to and from. I always keep money directly IN my PayPal account, though, for those little Ebay emergencies that I don't want Andy to know about! But, usually I just let them put it on my credit card, so Andy will pay it! (He just shakes his head, but he pays!) You can do it so many ways. Just keep money in it like a checking account, or let them take it out of your savings or checking account at your bank, or put it on a credit card. Most people on Ebay pay with PayPal when they buy something from me, and I just let the money build up. If it gets to be a LOT, I have them transfer some of it to my checking account. I could not live without PayPal!
