On July 11, 2004, at 4:59 PM (pacific time) we all welcomed 3000th new member!
*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...
There was a lot of speculation as to when our 4000th member would join our family... even a few bets... that Gardenmom won at 9:34 AM on November 08, 2004 (I think she fixed it somehow....

It must be February 12th at 4:43 am.

March 2nd @3:43p.m.

Feb 19, 2005 at 2:00 p.m.

February 18, 2005 11:00 AM

Febuary 8,2005

G-Mom

Gardenmom won at 9:34 AM on November 08, 2004 (I think she fixed it somehow.... ) Thats why she wanted me to join! :p

The secret comes out.
G~mom using your children like that....that is just wrong....you should be ashamed of yourself.

Extermely addicting! Robby gets irritated at me for being on. Then we argue cuz he wants to be on the pc. but that is too bad for him! I got here first!

I'd like to pick Feb 5/05

ok,time of 12:00 PM <img border="0" alt="[perplexed]" title="" src="graemlins/confused.gif" />

I'll guess Feb 14th, gotta love Grapefruit Day

March 23 - 4:30 p.m.

well, my guess is March 7, 2005 at 10:47 am!

In the interest of fairness I have edited the rules of the contest to allow for more than one person to select a certain day.

Think I'll join in this one since you all are having so much fun!

I'll take April 8th at 10:45a.m.

(when my son was born)

My guess is February 5th, 2005 at 10:42am.

So, if we are one of those kind of people who have a hard time making decisions, , can we change our guess until the deadline is here???

hahaha!!! Anything to win, eh??

If I DID luck out and win, Bill would probably send ME a big box of compost!

would that be a bad thing??? ask weezie...everyone can use compost!

But....I would be afraid of any compost Bill sent AFGREY!


VERY afraid!

maybe you'd get a pretty rose....oohhh....or maybe gerber daisies!!! i LOVE those!

No, my little Problem Child, you may not change you guess once it has been posted! I'm keeping track of the ORIGINAL guesses here.
IF you won, I might have mailed your own Garden Helper to you, but now you'll never know what kind of compost you'll get if you win... :p

I've seen Bill's compost and he has
GOOD LOOKIN' COMPOST!!!!!

Weezie

Weezie

I'll say January 5th 2pm?!!

Nov 20th 10-11 am

WOW, Njoynit,
That's only about 7 days from now to get 950 more members, talk about Postive Thoughts!!!

Might be a wee~bit too soon!!!

Weezie

Ok, after searching the stars, and reading the coffee grounds, and sifting thru the dirt and compost, and looking thru the crystal glass of bourbon I am drinking, I have come up with my guess.

March 5 12:00 noon.

I'd said Feb 14th before so I'm gonna add a time of 10:14am.
For winning is the time component need to be dead on or is it the closest one without going over?

i think it is just the closest, without regard to going over... ie. if you said 12:30 and i said 12:45 and it was 12:42, i'd still win. at least that is how i think it is supposed to work.

You are correct Jiffy! The winner will be determined by the person who's guess is the closest, regardless of whether their guess was before or after the winning time...

Mar. 9 2pm

april 21....9 a.m.
Linda

hmmmmm...this is tough.What the heck.I'll guess

April 1st 6 am.

Okay, it's only been 9 days, and we're already up to like 4119 at least. Is it too late to change my guess?

HA!

Go back to page 2 and see what Mr. Bill said to me when I asked him that same question!

March 30th, 2k5 - 3 p.m.

:-)

Fool that I am, I'm going for April 1 At 1-04Pm
Limey

Doreen

Ann1

March 21, first day of spring, at 12:23 p.m.

March 16 at 10:41.

a.m. or p.m.?

Sorry... A.M. That would be 7:41 here, right?

I think it would be the other way around.
If it's 7 pm here it's 4 p.m. somewhere else.

Might have to call in the guru...I've been drinking...again!

Duh! That's stupid! I wasn't thinking. I guess I already messed up. You're right. So it would be 1:41 pm here. That will do.

BUT it's 5:00 somewhere!

1:41?????
You're drunk, aren't you?

Were you saying you were related??? :rolleyes:

Weezie, you owe me a beer!

WHAT TIME IS IT?????
Bill is gonna have to straighten this out!

---->me <----Leslie

Sometimes we are...

AND NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I am not drunk. I actually haven't drank anything in a few days.

Weezie, yes - we are cousins. I've heard about you guys forever it seems, and she invited me here a few weeks ago. I don't do much outside gardening, but do quite a bit inside (can't get in the sun). I have already learned a lot on here about my houseplants.

I haven't had anything to drink in YEARS

Weezie

Don't worry, Weezie!
I already told her...
"Whatever happens on the forum, STAYS on the forum!"

Is that like that "Las Vegas" commericial???

Yep!

That's the rule!

March 16 at 10:41 AM (official C.H. time)... that's 1:41 PM (on March 16th) in Kentucky, but I don't think anyone knows what time it is in Never Never Land.... ever... <img border="0" alt="[perplexed]" title="" src="graemlins/confused.gif" />

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
You have 3 hours and 44 minutes to post your guess before it's too late!

But, that's O.K. I like it this way!

I respectfully rest my case.... :rolleyes:
