I'm one who hasn't picked yet

Now that my house is in order, I'll see what ya'll left me

Me to DH: I'm so excited, I swapped for some farkleberries....
DH: laughs
Me: no, its an actual thing. A farkleberry.
DH: oh I thought a farkleberry was spare change for an 'acorn.'

I turned to my DH and said something similar. After busting out laughing, I teased and said "should I get us a farkleberry?'...he wasn't as amused as me. (He was busy, oh well.)

Maybe that's what we should call the fractional acorns. Instead of saying I have 35.62 acorns, I should say I have 35 acorns and 62 farkleberries.

I'm always on my way out the door..

Very easy to use!

Thanks for all of the mighty fine programming Dave!

My internet was screwy again last evening, so most likely I was among the later participants. Now I need to make sure I "watch" all of these threads before it goes away again!

One item of concern though...I did not make an extra list of how many of each type of seed I offered. Is there a way to see this before the end of the swap?

So funny about the farkleberries, now I know who got them.

Ronnie, yes, I believe it starts again at the same time tonight. Looking forward to round two.

Yes, round two is tonight, same time as last night (midnight UTC.) You can always see the current time by going to the swap homepage. From there it tells you what time it is for ATP. At midnight the new day begins and everyone will get a new round of tickets.

In fact, tonight everyone will get 6 tickets to spend.
