Good night, Kari. Hope you sleep well.

Thanks. I did. I have told in Today thread a little about my insomnia, I have extreme difficulties to sleep. Last night was something I have started to call "the balancing night", the night when after once again so and so many days and nights without really sleeping my exhausted body gave up and I could finally sleep. It's a nice feeling, to sleep :).

Thanks! :) Not that I couldn't use the money, I would rather have it go to a worthy cause.

You are welcome.

My blunder. Sorry for that. I have edited my previous post and removed the Date, so other members don't get confused.
I will post the same date when I'm eligible for participation if it's available, or a new one if it's not.
Regards.

Do that. Refusing your entry was only because the rules are so clear.

How about Aug 19??

You got that. Sorry that as I was offline the date you had first was already picked up but not in the list.

Sorry, no changes.

Oh I know that John it was my own fault for not checking what day my birthday was.

Since we know it won't be released on a weekend or a holiday, why not block those dates as NA? That way no one will accidentally get stuck with a date that is a definite no-go.

So far, nobody has taken May 30th (US Holiday - Memorial Day) or Sept 7th (US Holiday - Labor Day) but Badrobot picked July 4th (US Holiday - Independence Day).

They could release it any day they want, there is no rule to say they can't release it on a Saturday etc.

There may not be any rule forbidding it but common sense says they won't.

Then the common sense says Do Not Pick a Weekend!

Making a smart guess is part of the game. In my case, it may not be the smartest guess but it's my birthday (4th July).. who knows? I John's charity might get lucky on my bday.

My guess, July 14th, is my late mother's birthday. Some weeks ago I had a weird dream, have had other odd dreams about my mother too but in this one my sister called from Finland on July 14th and asked me if I remember what day today is. I told that of course I remember, today comes the new Windows. She was somewhat surprised and told me that it's not what she meant, but that today is our mother's birthday.

That's why I chose July 14th, because of a phone conversation not yet happened :).
