[Sundancer]

I know the answers to only a few of those questions, Deanna.

'Not sure if I'm disappointed or relieved.

[clayMaine-iac]

'Not sure if I'm disappointed or relieved.

As a Clay fan--you should be disappointed.

As a person with a Real Life--you should be relieved.

So the answer is---
"Both!!!"

[heater]

Deanna, I'm getting ready to PM you my answers.  All I can say is I, like Sundancer, didn't know the answers to most of those questions.  I had to look them up.   There is one in particular that gave me a lot of trouble!!   

This was a great idea...thanks for coordinating it!

[clayMaine-iac]

This was a great idea...thanks for coordinating it!

Actually, I have some members to thank.

Thank-you to Galadriel for many of these fine questions!! 

Thanks to Clandy, Jayne, Christie and Marilyn for supplying the prizes. 

Thanks to Thea who volunteered her time to be my "copy editor" and extra pair of eyes!! 

And thanks to all who are playing!! 

[Sundancer]

As a Clay fan--you should be disappointed.

As a person with a Real Life--you should be relieved.

So the answer is---
"Both!!!"

All of the above!  

[Pamela]

These are great trivia questions! And tough! 

I think we will *all* be "more smarter" after studying up for the answers....!

Thank you Deanna! Also, thank you to Galadriel, Thea, Marilyn, Christie, Jayne and Clandy for prizes, help, questions and editing! 

Bravo!! 

[GWENN]

LIKE SUNNY, I DIDN'T KNOW AS MUCH AS I THOUGHT I DID.  I DON'T HAVE TIME TODAY TO LOOK THESE UP.   I DID KNOW MOST AT ONE TIME.  MY OLD BRAIN CAN'T REMEMBER A *****THING.

GWENN

[Spikee]

Deanna - I'm like Sunny.  I don't know the answer to more than I thought I should.   

I never knew the answers to a couple of them  :spank

I will be looking forward to 'knowing' the answers at 8:00 tonight. 

I don't think that I will be able to do the research to find them either.  I have to do some house cleaning.  I've been with my little granddaughter most of the past week.  House needs some cleaning, and Happy needs some attention.    

[clayMaine-iac]

Sunny, Gwenn, and Spikee

Please do not feel you have to do all the researching to play.

Just have some fun with this!!!
 
Send me your "best guesses" just to see how many you actually did know without searching!!!

Besides, I will feel better if I get alot more members playing along!!!

You wouldn't want to disappoint me, would you????????

[Her]

Holy crap, I can't even guess on some of these...Hi Miss D.  Power is back WOOHOOO!!!!

[clayMaine-iac]

Wooo Hoooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jayne is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very thrilled to see you, my friend!!!

[clayMaine-iac]

Becky,

Thanks so much for playing!!!

I have your answers all saved!!  I just don't want them on this thread as yet!!!

So don't worry if you don't see them here.


Deanna

[Pamela]

Welcome back Jayne! Glad you are no longer powerless!

I hope the rest of the Florida girls will be back soon as well!

[heater]

Jayne!!!    It's great to see you.  Glad you are back!

[WilsonClaymate]

Jayne,

Glad you and the others in Florida are getting back to normal.  I was without power for a week after Fran hit NC and that was long enough.  You have my sympathy and I hope you will have your power back way before Nov. 15th.

Boy, I thought I knew a fair amount about Clay but I can see I have got a lot of studying to do.  Congratulations to everyone who put this list of questions together--they certainly aren't just the obvious things.  I actually know only a couple, could find the answers to a couple of more but then I would have to do a lot of research.  So, this time I'll wait and read the answers and try to do more research before next time.

Thanks, this gives us a lot to think about.

[Sundancer]

Jayne's back! Woo hoooo! Jayne's back!

   





Why, Her! So good to see you.

[GWENN]

DEANNA---I DID IT.  ONLY FOR YOU.  I FEEL LIKE SUCH A BAD FAN.  I KNEW SO LITTLE.

JAYNE--GLAD THE ELECTRICITY IS BACK.

GWENN

[clayMaine-iac]

DEANNA---I DID IT.  ONLY FOR YOU

Awwwwwwwww--I feel so special now.   

I have heard from a few members that they didn't have time to play today.

Does anyone want to extend this to tomorrow???  I will let the majority decide--

because I am easy to please!!!
