Clampett and Beagle MIXED NAMES contest returns!!!

[Cathie Morris]

I LOVE this contest!! I'll donate something, probably game points since I'm somewhat broke in SIM dollars at the moment.
I don't know how much I'll be able to play with work and school this break but I'm sure gonna try!

This contest is the bombdiggety. I will definitely donate something, a bunch of puzzles, but other than that, I am not sure yet.

I'm definitely going to hold you to the promise of puzzles, Iggy. I'm looking forward to them!

People are being so awesomely supportive!

I'll donate something.. Im just not sure what atm, Im busy reinstalling windows..

I still haven't finished installing windows / office, so I don't have full access to my horse database again yet.
So I'll donate something different instead..

$100k Sim cash.. I don't really have any expensive studs etc to throw in.. My yearlings are over worked so not really suitable. And my foals, hmm no idea..
So the cash will do. : )

Send me a scrap horse for the cash please.

Thanks for the comp.

Awesome, Tanitha!! That's a great donation! Thanks so much -- means a lot.

And thanks to everyone who's donated. I'll be posting an updated list soon.

Contest is looking really fine for donations. Now, for fun and for the contest, send puzzles!!!! If you haven't sent in any puzzles, ask anybody who has and they'll tell you it's a lot of fun to make them up (for those of you who have sent in puzzles in the past: hint, hint, post, post)

Sending in puzzles this year is just for fun. Like I said before, we can only use a small number of the puzzles you send in. BUT -- they are fun to do (I think?) and Leo and I have a tremendous amount of fun reading them.

To Leo or me by PM -- send one, send many. Making up puzzles is fun and also kind of tunes you into the MN Contest.

[Madelene Gilbert]

If you guys are still looking for donations, here's one!

Each Day, yearling filly w/ "wings".

We're always looking for donations. And this is an awesome donation!

See you in the contest(s), I hope?

And to nag, nag, nudge, nudge, if a fun puzzle happened to occur to you or to anybody else reading this, then send it PM to Leo or me.

[Leonard Beagle]

I love Jeb....she's trying to make this easier on us!!!

[Kelley Wachter]

I LOVE this game! I am already working on names/clues to send in and hope I have time to play! Just had a baby on Friday, so we'll see!

Thanks for the enthusiasm! And looking forward to having you play and to any puzzles you send in. When you say you just had a baby on Friday, I've got to wonder if it was a foal baby, a kitten baby, a puppy baby, something else, or a human baby (any of these are good). But, if it should be a human baby -- well, just wow and congratulations! In any case, love to hear more.

[Kelley Wachter]

It was a human baby this time! I (thankfully) decided not to breed any of my mares (I have a small band of Trakehner mares) last spring.

I went in last friday, March 5th for a c-section---my son Austin William Nash Hatfield was born at 12:45 pm and weighed 10 lbs 12 oz (hence the c-section) and 22.5". It has been an adjustment, so I am not so sure on how much time I will have in the next few weeks........but I will try to be in play!

[Jeb Clampett]

Kelly, I'm sorry, I kind of dropped the ball there. Welcome to the world Austin! I've posted in Off Topics.

And ... back to topic here -- we're working on the setup. People were so generous with donations at the same time that we're cutting back on numbers. Well, we'll strike a balance and very likely end up with just awesome prizes.

And to go along with the awesome prizes -- we could use some awesome puzzles

Please, people, send me puzzles. Please. We're running a lot less sets and therefore can use a lot less puzzles. And I'm sorry about that. But, for me, reading your puzzles is a very big part of why I enjoy the MN game. So, if you're feeling generous -- PM me a puzzle or two. Do not think it needs to be awesome. Diversity is definitely good for developing puzzles for this contest.
