First Person to FTOO (Figure this one out) wins. Since I became a member of the RTH (Rock Tumbling Hobby) it seems like I have VLT (Very little time) for anything else. People on the board are VF (very friendly) and offer a WOK (wealth of knowledge) to anyone willing to ask questions. JLW (Just last week) I learned what SS (sterling silver), DS (Dead Soft), HH (half hard), FH (full hard) and HR (half round) mean. Akansan WNE (was nice enough) to explain it to me. This year I plan to LEMAR (learn even more about rocks) that I'm not familiar with. I'm not ARS (a rocket scientist) but that could change if I were to join a RSB (rocket science board) with the same enthusiasm I have for the RTH (rock tumbling hobby). YNK (you never know), STHH (stranger things have happened). So, to all of those RTH (Rock tumbling hobby) members with questions that NA (need answers), ITF (I truly feel) it would be wise to post them on the board. Who knows, WAMLS (we all might learn something). Well, TFP (thanks for playing) , GLTA (good luck to all) and most importantly, HF (have fun). TTYS (talk to you soon), DD (desert dweller) PS (post script) .This might be an EW (early win), but be prepared....because MAOTW (more are on the way). OK (okay), good luck everyone!! Last entry, Thanks Tonja  |

Since I became a member of the RTH (rock tumbling hobby) it seems like I have VLT (very little time) for anything else. People on the board are VF (very funny) and offer a WOK (wealth of knowledge) to anyone willing to ask questions. JLW (just last week) I learned what SS (sterling silver), DS (dead soft), HH (half hard), FH (full hard) and HR (half round) mean. Akansan WNE (was nice enough) to explain it to me.

You both have two wrong and they are the same two.
Here is a hint, BAK UGH, I wasn't gonna do this but if you look at my other competitions, I have used one of the phrases in every thread I have started in this section.

One of those has got to be right!!!!
I tore out 14 pages of paper and wrote down everyones answers and compared wrong from right as you quoted them and this is what I came up with. Unless there is an answer that is completely wrong that no one has even guessed yet, I cant figure it out, not even mathematically. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. LOL. If I didnt get it then someone else will have to... I'm wore out.
good contest Desert Dweller ;D
and if no one gets it then I think Deb Daniel should get it out of sheer principal that they started the thread that lead all the rest!!

Tonja did it, Congratulations!! The one everyone kept getting wrong was "thanks for playing" and it was "thanks for participating". Deb-Daniel blew my mind how he just came on here and figured everything out so fast, he was so close. Then Brian, you got the ones right that Deb-Daniel missed only both of you were saying thanks for playing. Sorry this wore everyone out, I think Deb-Daniel deserves a prize for helping everyone out with the majority of the answers. So Tonja, you win the cabs and Daniel, I will send you something very cool.
Thanks for participating everyone.

Wow, this went over well! Great job, DD, on the contest. Can't wait to see what you come up with next! There's a lot more abbreviations and technical jargon out there. Or, what about a vocabulary quiz?
