Got it! You guys guessing separate, or is this a "Phil and Laura" bet together? Are we really BETTING? Do I need to send 5 bucks to someone? (Is there ANYONE here we can trust to hold the cash?  ) And, what happens if no one guesses the exact day? Closest one wins?

Ah-hem.....I'll hold the pot..... :p 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....

Can we REALLY bet? (Didn't know if that was acceptable or not.) If not, I'm content with just the thrill of the contest! I'll ask ![[Linked Image]](http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v241/afgreyparrot/graphics/4bill.gif) Bill! Cindy

We need some pool RULES.
When do we stop the "entries"?
Can we "enter" more than once?
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! Karen

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....... :rolleyes: :p

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!
