i believe that terri implied that if she foals before the last guess, the guess that was closest before the foaling wins.

is that right, terri?

anyway, this is a moot point. just send me the fq's now and don't worry about it. (terri, are you making room?)

sharon b 06-03-2009 06:33 PM

I wonder how she (Patches) looked tonight ? Full and waxy or soft and nothing ?

GOT THAT WRONG.....
THAT'S IF SHE FOALS AFTER THE LAST GUESS. SORRY :mrgreen:

You guys just don't need to worry.

Patches is having this baby on June 5 in the morning (at 10:45 to be exact).


Just have your FQs ready to ship because I just can't wait to get them!

tlrnhi 06-03-2009 07:28 PM

I guess if she foals AFTER the times guessed, then names will be put into a hat and drawn that way.

butterflywing 06-03-2009 07:43 PM

hey terri - i beg to differ.

according to your own words,

http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/60/20550.page

the one who guesses closest without going over is the winner. pay up. or else.

and make room for your share.

amma 06-03-2009 07:53 PM

Is it just me or does Patches look like she has gotten thinner through the hips and bigger in the last few days???

This is what was said......

It's who ever is closest WITHOUT going over the time.

So say you had the right date, but the foal came at 1:01 am and you had 1:00 am....you would lose.
It would go to the person who had the next guess.

So, if ALL the times/dates pass and she hasn't foaled, NO ONE would actually win! Read the underlined portion.
I wasn't sure everyone was understanding what I was saying/meaning,,,,that is why the UNDERLINED part is in there.

We will figure out WHAT to do IF she goes AFTER all the dates/times posted.

youme 06-03-2009 10:12 PM

Terri,
how about doing consolation match in case her delivery got later than any dates.

YOu draw lots for us to find out the lucky one.

tlrnhi 06-03-2009 10:14 PM

I think we will do what was suggested earlier....just put names in a hat and draw a name out. We can let Kay do it....:)

youme 06-03-2009 10:18 PM

Count me in the game , Terri. This is the first attempt for me, I want to see how the others go for a while.

tlrnhi 06-04-2009 02:07 AM

Hey Patches!!
QUIT EATING AND GET FOALING!!!!

beachlady 06-04-2009 03:14 AM

No, No, let me pick the name out of the hat --- only my name will be in there!!!! LOL

Gosh, I hope that Patches does not go that long - poor thing! And poor Kay. When you mentioned the straight jacket wasn't sure if you meant for Kay or to squeeze the foal out of Patches!

BOTH! lol

tlrnhi 06-04-2009 03:35 AM

YO PATCHES!!
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!!!
Your are running out of time!!!!

kaykay 06-04-2009 03:35 AM

You know this silly mare could at least do something on cam so that shes more exciting to watch LOL. Ive always said Flirt is the most fun to watch because she always acts like shes about to foal even if she isnt.

Patches is very soft in the back, vulva is long but her bag just isnt shaping up like you would think this late in the game. I think shes doing this on purpose because she has our only Feature foal and she knows how badly I want to see it

She does look much thinner on cam today so Im wondering if the foal is dropping. Im guzzling coffee and then will be out to feed and check

tlrnhi 06-04-2009 03:45 AM

Kay, can you just reach in there and pull that filly out? I only have about 2 1/2 hours, then my time is up!

k3n 06-04-2009 03:53 AM

She looks so slim - she really IS preggers, right?!

K x

kaykay 06-04-2009 03:53 AM

Sorry terri I think you are going to loose :(

When people originally posted times of June 10th I thought no way. Now ummm who knows LOL

Star is still only about half bagged up.

I hope I dont wear you all out before this is all over :D

IF we do one for Star, we won't start it until AFTER Patches foals.

Kay, did you read back as to what we will do IF she goes past all the dates? You get to put ALL the names on the list of guesses in a hat and pull out the winning name. :)

k3n 06-04-2009 03:57 AM

Yeah Kay - did I tell you how wonderful, intelligent and GORGEOUS you are?!!!!

sandpat 06-04-2009 04:02 AM

Wish I could see the cam now...I'm going to try to get it to work today...I wanna see even if my time is up...Oops Terri, looks like Patches isn't gonna do it for you either according to Kay!

:shock:

tlrnhi 06-04-2009 04:03 AM

Kay wasn't supposed to just lift her tail. She was supposed to drag that filly out! Oops,,,forgot, that's Kyles job, his horse. lol

tlrnhi 06-04-2009 04:08 AM

Maybe if she doesn't go by the last date/time that's posted, we could all post another date/time........NOT! Only joking! lol

I like that idea! :D


Ninnie

tlrnhi 06-04-2009 04:19 AM

Ninnie....I'm only joking.
Dont' really think she will go past the last date, but IF and it's a BIG IF, it looks like she might, then maybe the day before we MIGHT open it for about 12 hours to put in another guess.

I AM NOT SAYING WE WILL DO THIS!!!

Now I think you are dilerious!!! Are you OK this morning????? I think the stress from wanting Patches to foal within the next few hours have altered your brain!!! :lol: :lol:

tlrnhi 06-04-2009 04:21 AM

LOL

sandpat 06-04-2009 04:29 AM

Yea!!! Got the image back up...now I can watch!

And Terri....just do the hat thing IF she goes over...and she won't..we'll have a winner :lol: :lol:

tlrnhi 06-04-2009 04:29 AM

Yea, I'm thinking she's not going to go over. I'm thinking that she'll have this foal over the weekend.

Sorry K, I didn't get yours out today..I still have to go look around to see what I can find...you are working on some of those stacky wacky things aren't you?? (and I WAS NOT referring to any other thread!!!) :lol: :lol: :shock:

Been lurking, Patti?! :wink: :lol:

k xxx

PS Yes I am stackin and whackin! :wink:

Lurking???? Who me????? I'm just too "southern and lady like " to contribute much to the thread (at least out loud!!!) http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/s...shocked017.gif

Oh, we hear ya, Patti!...you lurk and then holler, to hubby....come here, come here,...you won't believe this!....
Just like I do :lol:

kaykay 06-04-2009 05:08 AM

Shes definitely dropping so hubbys guess is she will foal in the next 48 hours. I am going to try later to get a milk sample and see if we can narrow this down. Just seems very odd to me that she is not at all bagging up like last year.

This dang mare is such a slob in her stall. Im going to make Kyle get out of bed and clean it today LOL

OK!!!!! :lol: :lol:

OK, I have to tell you the truth, I have never won anything in my life! I still think she will go on the 8th, but who ever else has that date will win. :cry: :cry:

Still it is fun to watch and see. I already have my FFQs picked out, and they are pretty, I am a good looser, had lots of practice! :lol: :lol:

tlrnhi 06-04-2009 05:16 AM

We don't trust what Rusty says, he's been wrong last time.

Yes, get Kyle out there!

k3n 06-04-2009 05:20 AM

Pooh - Hans is on another Skype call so had to turn cam off AGAIN! Oh well, guess he has to earn the money to keep me in fabric! LOL

K x

tlrnhi 06-04-2009 06:14 AM

Tell Hans that the mare is more important. lol

I think she'll go by Saturday....will be Saturday morning, I think.

k3n 06-04-2009 06:19 AM

Got the cam back and NO MARE!!!

K x

PS Terri, did your time pass already? My money is on amma to win!

tlrnhi 06-04-2009 06:21 AM

Kay let her out the "back door".
Yes, my time is gone. :(
