<p>Oh, I could lip-read you telling Drew about your car!!! Too bad you didn’t get a chance to say “hi” to all your friends at CC. I’m SURE you would have, if he’d asked you!!!</p>
<p>An artist/poet would never act in such an undignified manner as a “screaming winner.” 
Edit: And there sure has been a “17” theme here.</p>
<p>I’m sad it’s over. Have fun watching out on the West Coast!!!</p>
<p>Jillian,
I know you weren’t going to win, but I kept hoping there was a mistake and you did. I do like the piano. S is so enthusiastic.</p>
<p>so great to finally see the show!!.I too, kept hoping you would win the Jeep even though I already knew the outcome!
Do tell, why the 17 was added on to your bid…and…what are you going to do with a family of snow sled products out there in California???</p>
<p>17 was my son’s request - he said never bid an even number. One summer in high school he went to Hampshire College Summer Studies in Mathematics and 17 is a very important number at HCSSiM(something to do with being prime). So I went with 17 for DS.<br>
bookworm, I think when I watch later, I’ll do the same thing - hope there’s a mistake and I really do win that jeep…<br>
& indeed I would have said hi to all my CC friends if Drew had reminded me…I was so stunned I was even up there spinning the wheel - I didn’t say hi to my girls or my CC friends or friends here that asked me to say hi to them if I got on stage… (can I do it again? this time I’ll know how much to bid on the jeep…but no I can’t, once you’ve been a contestant on TPIR, they don’t let you be a contestant again).</p>
<p>astrophysics mom,
I think I had my hair put up when I was first called down, but my clip kept popping open and I was constantly fiddling with my hair during the breaks…Drew made some coment about it in the breaks, so I think I took it out so I’d stop fiddling…I’m still waiting on the cough drops…we were told that we’d hear from the sponsors who provided the prizes after the show aired. I was so surprised to hear from the piano guy last week(they’ll deliver the piano after I move)…but I haven’t heard from the sled company or the cough drop company. But I will let you know when I do. I was going to turn down the cough drops, but my girls really wanted me to keep them and another friend insisted that I accept them and donate them to a shelter. I’ll let you know when they arrive!</p>
<p>I missed it…My meeting ran too long! :(</p>
<p>I’ll have to wait to see it on the internet this afternoon!</p>
<p>So smiley and friendly looking! Congrats again. :D</p>
<p>please remiond me how to find the show on the internet!!</p>
<p>You bid in increments of 17? Now my son will DEFINITELY watch the show! :)</p>
<p>I just googled cbs and the price is right…Today’s show will be available for viewing sometime after 2 pm (depending which time zone you’re on).</p>
<p>You looked cute, and I loved your prizes, especially the piano. Congrats!</p>
<p>jym, go here [Price</a> is Right on CBS](<a href=“http://www.cbs.com/daytime/price/video/]Price”>http://www.cbs.com/daytime/price/video/) to watch the show on the internet - later in the afternoon.</p>
<p>thanks again, everyone, I’ve had as much fun on this thread as I did at The Price is Right!
cathymee, it doesn snow here in California! my new house is just a few hours from Tahoe & we try to make it up there a couple times a year in the winter. So we’ll keep one or two sleds, one will go down to Caltech to the hovse my son is affliated with (I’m sure they’ll figure out a good use for it) , one is promised to a friend with two children who lives near Boston, one will go to my real estate agent for the new house (she’s got 3 kids so I’m thinking they’ll find a use for it). If my girls want sleds, they each have one as well, though they’re in college in the South so I’m not sure if they see snow where they are or if they’ll even want one. Any that are left over will go to the Boys & Girls Club here in Oakland either to use on snow trips or they can raffle them off as a fund raiser.</p>
<p>Sleds come in handy when gardening, too.</p>
<p>oaklandmom:
Do you have daughters? You keep mentioning “my girls”?</p>
<p>Do you know if we’ll be able to watch today’s show tomorrow on line? Unfortunately I have a late meeting tonight, so I wouldn’t get to it until I got home tomorrow evening. I’d hate to have missed it!</p>
<p>Chevda, yes, it should still be on line tomorrow & probably for the next week. </p>
<p>Kelowna, my girls are the daughters of my heart but not my biological children. They lived down the street and their parents were…hmmm…well,lets just say they weren’t around much. They started coming to my house when DS was in the 3rd or 4th grade. K is the same age as my son, B is a year younger. By the time they were in high school they were eating meals at our house as their father wasn’t providing food at home(though he was taking his girlfriend out for lobster dinners). I have a few threads in CC that talk about the girls, the older girl had a financial aid crisis earlier this year. Oh, me, I start thinking about my girls and I go overboard…there is so much I wish for them. DS has had an easy life, full of opportunities, my girls on the other hand have dealt with trauma and violence in their lives again and again. DS and I have learned a great deal from the girls and I am so thankful they are in our lives. But inspite of what they’ve had to deal with both girls have made it to college (the first in their family to graduate high school). Get me started on my girls and I’m in tears sometimes when I think of the trauma and violence they’ve endured, it is too much to bear.</p>
<p>oaklandmom: All children in need should have a friend/surrogate mom like you. You actually brought tears to my eyes. Haven’t watched you yet but am planning to.</p>
