<p>marite (non betting person) - silent bet on Duke (name added without consent)
tabbyzmom: JHU 4/26/ 4AM CST
taxguy: U Miami (they will give him most money. That in turn would require that taxguy’s services will be required).</p>
<p>I just received an email from Logan’s financial aid counselor at Duke. As a result of the Letter of Special Circumstances, they have just increased the award (grant). They are currently offering the highest monetary offer. Whoda thunk it??!! ~b.</p>
<p>So it’s always been Duke and it will be Duke and all of this was just a way to erase Yale and reinforce his happiness. Good karma. Congrats. Just enjoy all this.</p>
<p>Ok, my last bet involving Duke had to do with the final four. (I lost). Now we are at least down to the final three. I too, am going to have to go with a silent bet for Duke.</p>
<p>However, all my silent bets this week have been wrong so far.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I went for an Italian Pope. (The German was ranked #4 by most pundits.)</p></li>
<li><p>I bet on a Kenyan, NOT an Ethiopian to win the Boston Marathon male division. The Kenyans have won the last 14 out of 15 I think. :)</p></li>
</ol>
Oh, honey, you just made my day! Thanks for the luck and congrats, but Whitney, you forgot to place a bet!! We’ve gotta add you to the pool! love, ~berurah (and now I kinda wish my son were going to Reed… )</p>
<p>Gotta post to get this thread back on page 1…</p>
<p>OK, I’m now “addicted;” I said I wasn’t going to bet, but I just have to…too many e-dollars at stake and I’m greedy; I want to win!</p>
<p>I bet Duke (altho I hope for JHU), at 7:50 p.m., CST, on 4/30 (that’ll give Berurah 10 minutes to get the deposit and acceptance card to her local FedEx office)…</p>
<p>overanxious mother~Uhhhhhhhh…this is scary! How is it that you know EXACTLY how I think and function??? <em>lol</em> Oh, remember that Duke has long since gotten rid of the deposit! We received a letter a week or two ago that said just send the reply card! :)</p>
<p>cujoe~I’d show him your post, but he promised not to look at the thread until he’s already decided. He didn’t want to be unduly influenced! <em>lol</em> ~b.</p>
