Since I live outside of the Continental U.S. live plants and seeds prizes will not be available to me so had not participated in NARR since joining. However, when I was given acorns in this thread I decided to go ahead and buy tickets with the acorns. If I should win, I will do a raffle drawing of my own for those I received acorns from, and the winner will receive the prize. nodding

Selfish? nah

I had spent all of mine that I had prior and bought 13 tickets in all. Then I saw the giveaway and was able to get 25.

I gave those 25 away.......but.........I gave them to a family member - so if they win, I am sure the prize will end up in my yard anyways Hilarious! Hilarious!

Well here we are today folks at The Fall Hot Acorn Toss, where gifts of hard earned Acorns have been tossed from one player to another.

Now from my count, here are the UNOFFICIAL playbook going-ons over the last few days

Also please remember to play nice and don't keep your nu....Acorns all in one basket:

Lynn Gave 25 acorns to the following:
Greene
Betsy
Duane
Collen
Barbalee
KadieD
Audrey
Stewart and Cindy
Leslie
Joanna

Audrey spent 10 acorns and gave 15 to Ann

Ann gave her 15 away
Joanna - 5
KadieD - 5
Audrey - 5

Leslie gave 25 Acorns
Audrey - 5
SGB - 5
Joanna - 5
Lisa - 5

Audrey gave 5 to SGB


Please note that the announcer went through the list in a hurry ..... mistakes can be made
