So we post all the answers when we have them? I'm a little confused. Love the contest though Hope.

Ya know what? I was thinking that, but maybe a better idea would be to PM the answers to me? That way other players would not see your answers.

CL Friends, I need your input here. Do you think PMing your FINAL answers, by the deadlines makes more sense and keeps it fair?

Either that or everyone could post answers on the last day, but I am leaning toward the PM thing. 🙂

Thanks, LuckyMe! 🙂

BF please check your PM asap! 🙂

CL MEMBERS!

PM answers to me with subject line GAMBLER'S TRIVIA CONTEST ANSWERS

Thank you!

Are you sure? All my message say "edit" at the bottom.

But if you can't that is okay.

We will just TRUST everyone to go search for their own answers.

But try hitting the edit button under your post, then you should be able to highlight and cut, then paste in a PM or in a word document and then into the PM.

Can you try once more?

If not, don't worry. It's not the end of the world. lol I should have said PM to begin with. I didn't think you would post your answers so quickly. Like I said you are too fast for me, lol! But truly, it is nothing to stress about. 🙂

I've hidden your answers bobafett0820. I hope you PM'd hope before I deleted them because I didn't think to keep a copy.

Yes, I saved the copy he PMed to me. No worries 🙂

Thank you!

Lol! Thank you, both! And I can handle those class clowns, BF. My youngest son was also one of those and now he does comedy. Funny, huh? lol At least he put it to good use. I still have to answer your PM about that, but not tonight: nursing a headache (but I will be FINE).

I hope to get some more entries for this contest, or you will have no competition, BF!

Have a great Friday night, everyone. 🙂
