I got so busy with other things I forgot to mention what I found when I went IN to the Chiropractor’s office yesterday --
See, they are closed from noon til 2pm – and if I am there early, which I often am, I enjoy sitting on the bench on the wrap around porch while I wait for them to come back from lunch.
The office is in a converted house from the early 1900s ---that’s where the pictures of the cone flowers and other garden beds came from in yesterday’s post.
So I had hit SEND on that post from the comfy relaxing bench on the porch – and then they opened the front door to start letting clients in.
I go to the desk to sign in and what do I see?
YAY!! It’s another “GUESS THE NUMBER OF :::Fill in the blank::” for Father’s Day!
((No donuts this time – good thing, I don’t need them!))
This time it’s GUESS THE NUMBER OF NAILS.
Hmmmm..that jar doesn’t look like it could hold THAT many, does it? But nails can be tricky because they are long and narrow. Anyone want to venture a guess? I guessed something like 472 but we’ll have to wait until the contest is over to find out. I think I over guessed.
And no, the winner doesn’t just win a jar full of NAILS…
It’s a BBQ extravaganza!
Okay, so I really liked my winnings from Easter with the garden tote full of goodies AND the super humongo jar of jelly beans --- but this is some cool stuff too.
Let the guessing begin!
212. That's my guess!
ReplyDeleteI think you're right and you over guessed on this one. Nails can be tricky. They look like finish nails so I'll venture a guess of 253. Do we get a prize if we're right? :)
ReplyDeleteMy guess is 215. Let me know if I am correct! I am off to sew on my yellow sisters choice that I started two years ago. Dang it I am going to get it done!
ReplyDelete385 is stuck on my brain!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I think you overguessed as well. I would have to guess 262. Hope I'm wrong though and you win!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is 295.
ReplyDelete578 is my guess
ReplyDelete231 is my guess and now I've something fun to do with quilt group--off to hubby's workshop for the nails!

ReplyDeleteI'd say about 600. Do we win an invite to your place for the BBQ? :)

ReplyDeleteA good way of estimating the number is how much do you think the nails weighed and just how long are they. 1.5" finish nails are 530 per pound and 2" finish nails are 260 per pound. Retail, they're usually sold in 1 or 5 lb boxes, so...
ReplyDeleteI'll guess at an even 400 . I Also bought a table fr sewing mates thank you Bonnie for providing me with thier info.
ReplyDeleteI'll give a rally good guess of 192. How's that for not knowing about nails ggg!
ReplyDelete150!
ReplyDelete450!!
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie ;-), you just find things to suck me in...... OK, here goes, 498 is my guess.
ReplyDeleteAm reconstructing my Quilting Studio and have just spent a day folding as much fabric
as I could over Comic Book Boards and separating the worms/strings/whatevers into
widths and larger pieces into fat quarters and half yards. Then I come in to relax and
have to try my brain on Nails..... I just love visiting you each evening, Thanks for being
here at the end of my day. Anne

Hi,
ReplyDeletejust feeling cheeky ... as the glass is not closed, I'd surreptitiously add a few nails to it on my next visit!

I like your sense of humor, Beatrice. Suzanne from Maine
