Angi wrote: "dawn how does this work Goethe alternatives that u r loooking for? just seeing if I am able to helpout or not."Angi, I have replaced the players needed at this time. I have started a back up list. The rules are on the first page of this thread. You would be just picking up where someone else left off that wasn't able to finish the challenge.
If you have a specific question about the rules let me know. Or if you want added to the back up list let me know that too.

Another personal update: I am off on vacation this afternoon. I will have internet access. I just won't be on my normal schedule and not online as often.I should still check in at least every other day. To maximize my internet time I won't be updating points as often either. So that means I am going to avoid the team threads unless I have time to sit and update points. So if you have a question that needs an answer post it here or in the item thread. At least for this week. Or you can always send me a PM too.
Dawn, on the spreadsheet that has all the teams, you put 280 as the comment number for my Vegetable week post. It was actually post 282.

Let me know if I forget by item time. I am sneaking Internet from the hubby's iPad and I don't want to mess with the spreadsheet on here. I'll wait until I am at the computer.
It won't effect points.
Cool cool. I noticed and figured I'd save anyone else from confusion.
I think I'll give Mr. Randomizer a call and see if he wants to share some "fireworks" with me. teheHappy 4th everyone.
Sorry Sheila, you're too late. I already bribed him with beer n hotdogs so he'll call cake tomorrow :)Happy 4th everyone!!!!!
What!!! NO!! Not cake, we just claimed that!
Lol Mr. R and I are hung over and going back to bed. I'll tally points later.

Yes I would take that.
Ok, vacation is over. Everyone is home including our new puppy so hopefully I will be able to resume my normal schedule of checking in now.
Did you go somewhere exciting on vacation Dawn?
Sheila wrote: "Did you go somewhere exciting on vacation Dawn?"Well... some may consider Kansas City an exciting place. It was mostly to see family but partially because my husband is a pyro and fireworks are illegal in Colorado. He had to go somewhere he could really celebrate the 4th of July.
Well KC would be exciting to me since I have never been there. Our fireworks were canceled due to flooding. I would think fireworks wouldn't be a good idea in lots of places with all the fires going on.
Sheila wrote: "Well KC would be exciting to me since I have never been there. Our fireworks were canceled due to flooding. I would think fireworks wouldn't be a good idea in lots of places with all the fires go..."LOL, flooding would never stop my hubby. His shows usually rival the public displays.
Thanks Dawn. We've got a new puppy too! But we didnt go on holiday, or have fireworks, and Im not married to a pyro! (insert sad face here!) lol
That's how our firework shows are too. I buy the ones that are the maximum gunpowder you can get legally :)
My husband generally orders them by the pallet. SMH. Boys and their toys.
Yay for new puppies Kathy, I think I got the laziest one ever. All she does is sleep.
************************************Stat update:
************************************
This is of course all based on if my math is correct which it may not be
If everyone gets max points for this week and is caught up when the next item is called and the right item is called Silver could end the game next week. All other teams will need at least 2 of the right items called to get all team members to get all 40 items.
Depending on the item called and how Silver claims items this week 61 could be the high score for the game. First to finish with 61 points could win. 2nd and 3rd place will be determined by next highest as of next item posting time. Bookcase, Dragon (possible cookie), garage are the items they'll need.
If one of the above 4 items is called there is a chance a team could take the win, not necessarily Silver.
If one of those items is not called there will be at least one more item called on the 19th, and then it will be a free for all first team team to 64 points, or closest.
We will have one more item called next week before any one team will have all 40 items. Current points are:
54 Team Silver
54 Team Sienna
54 Green-eyed Monsters
51 The Fightin' Canaries
50 Bibliophile Anonymous
46 Hot Pink Ladies
43 Orange Crush
41 Crazy Cat Ladies

Six people could have all 40 items this week. They will still want to read the word and bonus word next week to help their team get bonus points.
Final item is up! It looks like Mr. R is rooting for Team Sienna as they are the only ones with a chance to get all 40 items.
However, the rest of us are not out of it yet. The win is based on points so first to get the highest points wins.
(ETA: everyone on the team will want to read this week no matter what items they already claimed to make sure they get the bonus to add on those extra points)
And the race is on.....

I may have overlooked it but...orange juice or bad apple would either of those count for fruit?

Orange juice yes, bad apple if it were actually a "bad" apple and not referring to a person as a "bad apple".

Edited my original comment: The Fightin' Canaries have finished first with their mad speed reading skills.
The points are still being tallied so we will have a winner soon.
Keep reading.
Congrats Fightin' Canaries!

For the animals figures of speech are ok so both examples for snake and fish would work.
Pea soup would count as a vegetable.
And a pool under a waterfall would also work.
So yes to all.
