And I'll start the double digits.....10!!! That would be the "perfect" 10.

Robin said...

TEN!

(I like money)

Scottie said...

yay for 12... i would rather be 2, but since i am slow i will take 12... chinese money sounds fun... robin, 11 comes after 10, not 10... lol...

Elliott Innes said...

Because 13 is unlucky, we'll post this as 14... like a building.

Heather Durkee said...

What number is it?? What do we get for breaking rules. It should be 14.

So there 14.

Many would say this is all hype just to get comments. But it works!

Robin said...

OK, so apparently I'm an idiot and can't count, as someone pointed out above (blush). 38 it is.

Oh, I mean 48!

(triple checking to be sure)

Yes, 48 it is.

Elliott Innes said...

Well, it says you already have 55 comments, but the last comment, the person said they were number 52...

So, I am either #53 or #56....

Richards' said...

ooops.... they said 51... oh well, now I am either #53 or #56....

Sarah Gomez said...

It's cause people have counted and then thrown in another comment. So techincally you're 52 , so *I* am 53!!!!

And btw, this game is not fun anymore. it's more like..... WORK!

Anonymous said...

hmmm... seeing as he said that we can each post only 1# a day, i'm going to take what gwyn said as #52... and i'll say #53
