Hi All, With all the recent crankiness (myself included) I thought it might be a good time for a contest! Tonight I will enter the BOWELS OF HELL. We have to run cable under the house into 2 bedrooms for satellite tv. The BOWELS OF HELL of course is in reference to the crawl space under our home (single level ranch style). I refuse to pay the installation fee through Directtv and have elected myself for this duty as Dennis has a really bad back and I dont want him to be crawling around under the house. I dont have far to go...there's already satellite in one bedroom. THE CONTEST: I will be taking (7) items with me down into the crawl space that would not normally be with me on a daily basis. You have to guess ALL of these items. THE RULES: Guess as many times as you want. I will tell each person how many correct items they guessed. I will NOT tell you which ones you got correct however. HINTS: If no one wins by Friday evening (8pm Pacific Time), I will start giving clues.......either the type of items or which items have already been guessed correct. THE PRIZE: Assorted slabs/small rough of Antigorite collected by wolfden. Just a few reminder photos of how beautiful this material is.       GOOD LUCK everyone!!! *deep breath* Ok, its time for me to enter the BOWELS OF HELL now. If you dont hear from me in a few hours, you might want to send search and rescue.  ;D Shannon |
