Hints & Alert for Ben's SB
 

I have been very remiss and not offered up any hints til now. I have been so busy! How busy? Busier than a long-tailed cat in room full of rocking chairs. Someone had better be a fast guesser though as I mailed the package earlier today (well, since it is now after midnight, I guess technically it would have been yesterday!). So, it is making its way to my SB who is so cute.....how cute? Cuter than a speckled pup in a red wagon! That's how cute! I better apologize for all the old sayings. It is late, I am tired and hungry. Or it could be something else. Do senile people type in tired cliches?

Ben is just a might smitten with this little sweetheart of a SB! Oh yes... it's hints you all are wanting......here ya' go:
(1) Ben's SB's first name, begins with the same letter as a treat worth 4.3 calories. (2) His SB weighs more than him but (3) is younger than him. (4)This very same SB lives in a state that starts with a letter in the first half of the alphabet. (5) This SB is very, very cute! (I know I already said that).

That's five hints all in one post! But I have to be quick as the package will be there in no time! So, if you think you may be Ben's SB, be on the alert! Your mail carrer will soon have something special just for you!

We sure do hope our SB loves their gifts. We had so much fun picking them out! This is our first GE and I definately want to do it again. In fact, I have already bought a couple of little things to start the next one out!

well let me see... I am thinking it is not me... but it is so early and I am not too good at thinking right now.. so might just have to wait and see... lol

Tired cliches? Hope you're kidding 'cause that's the way I think...LOL

I think it's because I'm tired myself. Oh well...

Can't wait to see who your SB is. You were on our short list but alas, our state is certainly not in the first half of the alphabet.

I so agree with planning to do the next GE, too. I haven't even gotten our package off but this has been such fun. (Actually, I think my husband will be glad when it's sent so that I'll stop talking about it. Somehow I get the feeling he's listening at half volume or maybe on mute!)

It was early when we were online before and here I am again 6 hours later. But.....you're right -- you will just have to wait and see! :)

Me too! Very tired. I don't sleep right. I got a new medicine and the doc told me to take it at bedtime cause it would make me sleepy. I said sleep would be really good! It works opposite on me, now I am not sleeping at all! :confused:

That is probably one reason I have enjoyed the GE distraction. Something just for fun! Hope you find your SB soon!

Oh Ben can't wait to see whom you have as a secret buddy! Wow that's the way to do it - one post - five clues...easy-peasy!!

:lol tears:lol tears:lol tears:lol tears:lol tears:lol tears

No one is guessing it's for them after 5 clues!???! Okay, I will try one more for today ....... I dug around a little and found out my SB was born in the same month as the woman who made Ms. Cavilleri a household name for awhile. Don't tell if you know who that is.

well I weigh more dan Ben and I'm younger....but dat's all I know....so Maybe it could be me......but My state wetter is M...and it's EXACTWY in da middle....so Its probawy not me!!! :rolleyes:

good wuck to the SB!!

:( me older dan you.......but me cant wait to see who your sb is!
wub, Dakota

Hmmm "M" that is a tough one but it is actually the 13th letter in the alphabet and since there are 26 letters, it is just barely in the first half of the alphabet so who knows????

hmmm ooooooook...so you just LOVE to keep us hangin on....ok...lol I'll stick around...teeheee :p

Hmmmm those hints are hard. :p I couldn't find out how much Ben weighs or how old he is sooo... we may or may not be in the running. :cool:

That info can be found in his Gift Exchange sign up post. :) But I will make it easier..... 4.5 lbs and 3 years old.

darn dd is out as she is older - darn who has poor dd she is sooo sad

DOH! :)

Well we are out. Bailey is 3.5-4 pounds.

Delivery attempted!
 

I was wondering why I had not heard anything but I just checked on my package and got this message:

We attempted to deliver your item at 11:56 AM on May 23, 2009 in ___city, st____ and a notice was left. You may pick up the item at the Post Office indicated on the notice, go to Redelivery redirect page, or call 800-ASK-USPS to arrange for redelivery.

So -- the post office has your package SB -- pls see if you can pick it up or arrange redelivery! We want to see how you like your gifts! I guess this is a big hint.

Can't wait to see pics! :)

Awwww...wasn't us cause we got no notice, but can't wait to see pics!!!

us either, but Im gonna double check my front door. lol

Are my hints too hard? I just fiured out I got one wrong. :eek: I am so sorry! Ms. Cavilleri's first name is Jenny, she was played by Ali McGraw in the movie Love Story. But she was born in April and my SB was not. I misread something when I made that hint. One of the most creative and I messed it up.

So, I will give two more hints and make sure they are right! Ben's SB owner has made less than 1000 posts. She is also married.

Now that human treat worth 4.3 calories does still start with the same letter as Ben's SB's name. So that should be a good clue too.

Hurry and guess because you will probably get your gift tomorrow!

Wasn't us...no notes, but can we have the answer to the treats (4.3) when we find out who Ben's SB is??:D

Yes, I will post the answer, hopefully tomorrow. :) Each one is 4.3 calories but personally I don't stop at one. (No, not Lay's potatoe chips though!)

dwats, my mommy hab more dan 1000 posts. I dont fink I wike dat hint. But I watch your buddy open his pwesents ok.

:thumbs up:thumbs up

Hi Everyone!! :) It was ME! :) My package just arrived and it is adorably decorated! :animal-pa:animal-pa I am at work, so I will be waiting until I get home to open it with Maddy. Thank you so much Ben and Deb! Pictures will be posted as soon as I get home! I am so excited to open it!

I hope we still hear about that treat! I can't imagine the word describing something with only 4.3 calories...LOL..

Shoot, I thought those 100 calorie packages were pushing it!

The human treat that starts with the same letter as Ms. Maddy's name and has only 4.3 calories is .......










an M&M! (and away I go -- running and ducking!!!!) :D

Not too sure if you could call the box decorated. There was a long line at the post office and I had a purse full of sharpies! :animal-pa:animal-pa LOL!

Sure hope you and Maddy like your package!

Ahhh! I was gonna guess M&M's...:D Can't wait to see Maddy's presents!!
