SOS: Serious Overload of Series discussion

Been out all day and missed this... If you get room, I'm in...

We had a very good friend (a 15 y/o boy) who was run over and killed in his driveway by 2 girls (they were 16) at about 2 am CT. this morning. If you have young drivers, please tell them not to mess around with/near running cars. I knew all of them and it is probably the worst thing that can happen for all the families envolved. They are neighbors/good friends & we carpooled to school.

That's just dreadful, Amy. My condolences to you and all the families :(

Oh that's terrible, Sassy! My condolences to you and the family.

I'm tempted to join but I think I'll leave it for the next round. I'm on vacation for a while in August and we're planning to take a short trip.

Gotcha, Lis. You are #6 on the standby list, so we have enough to have 7 teams.

@Amy, I'm so sorry to hear that. How terrible. My thoughts are with you and the families.

@DG, Would you like to be on the standby list? Or wait for R4?

RSVP PMs will be sent out later today. Please reply by Wednesday, 13 July. Thanks!

Once all RSVPs have been rec'd, I'll shuffle players for teams. I'll let you know once teams have been created.

Looking forward to BSB R3! :D

Thanks! Me too. :)

@sassy i'm so sorry

LOL! :) You're welcome.

Ming, you're profile states you are not accepting PMs. Could you please confirm Play or Pass for me? Thanks! :D

Steph - I'll send her a message on PBS.

Thanks, Cindy!

KarenF, you're profile is also set to not accept PMs. Could you please confirm Play or Pass for me? Thanks! :D

Ok, I have sent out all the PM RSVP requests. Please remember to reply on/before 13 July. I will not randomize players for teams until everyone has RSVP'd.

If you didn't receive a PM and you one of the 42 players, please let me know. Thanks! :)

If you missed the sign-up, but would like to be on our standby list, please let me know!

I thought I was

PLAY

will fix my profile

No worries, thanks for the reply :D

ONE slot open! A player had to drop off. If you'd like to play let me know. :D

Huh, I thought I did accept them. D"oh! Will fix that and I do want to play!

I'd love to be on the stand-by list if that is still possible. Previous time I had a lot of fun playing BINGO :D

Steph wrote: "@DG, Would you like to be on the standby list? Or wait for R4? "

I'll wait for R4, Steph. I'll be on vacation soon and I don't want to worry that I'll let any of the gals down. :)

From what I can see, the rounds move quickly so I know I won't have to wait months and months for the next one. :)

I just sent my confirmation reply.

Miss Steph, I just sent my RSVP as PLAY, please.

@Karen ~ No worries. You may have it set to accept from friends only. Thanks for your RSVP, gotcha! :)

@Celine ~ I sent you a PM, you are welcome to fill the last open spot, if you'd like. Let me know if you'd like to join us.

@DG ~ That's cool. There'll be future rounds. Hope you can join us then. Enjoy your holiday!

@Mary & Zaanodes ~ Gotcha both! :)

Please make sure I've ✓d your name on the sign-up sheet if you sent a PLAY RSVP. If I missed you, please let me know. Please also let me know if you did NOT get a PM and are on the player list.

Thanks for all the speedy replies! Pending a few more and then I'll be set to shuffle for teams. :D

Sent my RSVP

Thanks Lizz! Gotcha!

*grins* Good call, Jessica. I do like green.

*runs out*

*comes skipping in wearing a tinkerbell costume, holding a sparkly wand* Hee hee hee. Too fun! *skips around, singing, and occasionally tossing handfuls of glitter and confetti around* Bingo! Bingo! Bingo! Tra-la-la la-la la-la.....

Is it too late to sign up for Bingo?

I had so much fun in the last game and I want to try it again!

*runs into room - carrying pom poms*

Rah Rah Sis Boom Bah
We need teams or fingers we'll gnaw!
Zombies rule, Vampires *drool*
Fairies in flight, Shifters bite!
Come on Steph, don't make us wait
Connect 4's done, but Bingo is GREAT!!!

YAY Steph!!!!!

*tosses pom poms unbelievably high in the sky while jumping up and down very acrobatically*

That was great, Cindy!

I'm so hesitant to read from my pile of books just in case it's in a Bingo category, lol.

I dont have that problem AH....I have such a huge pile to chose from....

Love the Sis Boom Bah ....great job Cindy.....hey maybe the team names could be like that too ....Zombies, Vampires, Fairies, Shifters, etc....

Memory is short for R2 did we have team names?

Kimberly, Steph's just waiting to hear back from two people, but if either of them end up not wanting to play, we don't have anyone on the standby list. So you would be the #1 alternate. :)

Yep Zina, we've always done team names for Bingo. :)

Cool beans!!! :D

*blushes*

So glad ya'll enjoyed my little cheer! Alyssa is such an inspiration to me.

Hey Steph, I responded to your RSVP, but maybe you checked off the wrong Amanda?

I'm 38th on the list, post #76.

Feel free to give me a nickname to make it easier to differentiate, lol.

I like that idea myself. :)

Great cheer Cindy!!

@AH - I've got a HUGE stash of books to choose from too.....probably too many. I really should do a challenge where I'm not allowed to buy books at all for at least 6 months to a year. I'd probably go thru withdrawals......

Hi, Kimberly. The slot that was open has been filled by Celine. But, I am still waiting for Amanda (post #76) to RSVP. May I put you on the standby list in case she cannot play?

ETA: Ok, maybe I should'a read all the way down first. I see LLL already helped ya out, you've accepted and Amanda has RSVP'd. Oi! Way to start the day, Steph. LOL! Off to scour through my PMs for the two Amandas. :D

Too Cute! Love it! Sorry, Miss Cindy, but I really can't get started until next Sunday. Hang in there, it'll be here before ya know it! >;)

Steph, see msg 142.

YEP! My brain must'a mushed the two Amandas together. Got a PLAY RSVP from both of you lovely ladies! So, sign-up is officially closed. We have 42 players for 7 teams of 6.

Kimberly, I'll add you to the standby list, just in case someone has to bail mid-game. We love cheerleaders though. Everyone is welcome to stop by and chat on the team threads whenever you'd like.

Players, get your bookshelves ready! Charge up your eReaders! Round 3 of BSB to start Sunday, 24 July. I know everyone's anxious to get goin', but I really have to prep for and take my midterms before Bingo, so I cannot start any sooner. Thanks for understanding!

I'm off to shuffle up players for teams. I'll post a note here once the team threads are open and ready for the pacing chatting to begin.

I have nearly 1,000 books here. That's why I like to do some preplanning. I don't want to get a book from the library or buy one in a panic when I have one that works. I'm going to tyr and avoid reading any paranormals this coming week.

Yay, we've got teams acoming!
