Hey Judy! You left my name off the list! I'm somewhere in the middle I guess. Sending my list to you. Thanks for getting right on it.

[HeyJudee]

Geez Lennie, my name isn't there either...LOL

[temom]

What a fascinating list! I'm in, and have submitted my list.
Thanks so much for jumping in and doing January for us!

[HeyJudee]

So far I have lists from the following...and will update this as I get more.

lendube - Lennie
temom - Theresa
Mom of Six - Barb
Magot - Jan
icetbear - Ann
judymo - Judy
neefer - Jennifer

[Mom of Six]

My list is sent. Do you realize you have some duplicate #s? There are 155 names but some of the #s are skipped & some are double. Just want to make sure everyone checks the name not the #. Just realized the ones that are the same # have the same amount of money.

[HeyJudee]

Just realized the ones that are the same # have the same amount of money.

Yep...they rank the same as they are worth the same amount.

[icetbear]

Thanks Judy for taking time to call bingo I will get my list in as soon as I can sit long enough to send it. I am on serious pain meds for a pinched nerve? More tests to come next week I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday weekend, safe travel, buckle up and have fun. Happy New Year gang

[HeyJudee]

Well so far there are only 4 players this time around. I'm gonna wait a bit longer before posting the first set of words...to give a chance for any late joiners. Any more players????

[HeyJudee]

Got Ann's list...any more takers for bingo?
