No, that red dot is the pineapple. I always said I have long hair. Never said it wasn't on my face. :shock:

Or, wait...maybe it is Mahaloof trying on my dress? We look so much alike, it's hard to tell.

TADA!

The guesses have been counted, and deductions have been made for those who already knew someone else's house, but there has been the same person in the lead right through the contest.

I hereby announce that the winner of Who Lives in a House Like This is......

The Cat with 15 points :D

I would also like to award her the prestigious Golden Key Award which entitles her to free entry to everyone's house for 1 year.

Congratulations to The Cat. 8) :D :D

I'm so happily frustrated, I can hardly believe it myself.

All the while I'd placed Liz on # 7, mainly because of the clue. Then, during all the research, I found a remark from Liz saying they occupy 4 floors. I switched to pic # 17. Only now do I see that 7 also has 4 floors. (*..walks into a hallway cupboard, closes the door and yells: "Aaaaaaarghhhhhhh!!"*)

I wás right about # 6. The whole neighbourhood looks extremely Dutch.

Janet: what a gorgeous house!


Now I'm just licking my wounds.....and putting another steak on the black eye I received yesterday from little Miss Van der Berg. I guess the flirting is over..... :?

You should always go with your first instinct Mahaloofy 8) You still wouldn't have won though :lol: :lol: :lol:

Would you all like me to post your guesses on this thread? :D Then you can all see who thought which house was who's? That doesn't sound right - but I hope you get my drift :wink:

I couldn't get in to the website this morning. It's still there isn't it. I'll try again later.

Congratulations Cat

I did better than I thought I had. My house was probably the easiest for everyone to guess since I had a link to photos at webshots listed in my profile and if anyone really looked they would have seen the trailer in the background behind my flower beds. By the time I thought to remove it, it was really to late. I had Mahaloof's house pegged right off because I figured only he would come up with such an elaborate story like that. All in all this was fun. When my hubby gets our new house built we'll have to do it again.

The website is working, I just checked it. There must be a problem at your end. Perhaps the satellite's been shot down by aliens or something. :?

I got in there now. We've been having problems with our DSL here lately. I had some of the houses in my 1st guess's then changed them. Now that I see who's who and read the clue's ( I made a rhyme) some seem to match and make more sense. Thank you to Lillie for helping me come up with my clue.

OK on to the next contest.................there's a Halloween level making contest going on.................are you up to the challenge?

I rushed home at 6AM....and couldn't get to the website either! :shock: (you would think there were 190 of us trying to get on all at once, instead of 19 :lol: )
Just now was able to access the site and refresh my memory.
Looking back at my guesses, I missed a few obvious clues ("my pad") lillie.....gawd...how could I have missed that one?
Let's see...House 18, the clue pointed either to Kansas (no place like home) or Alabama (hurricane names) so of course I picked wrong.
I remembered someone talking about waiting for the rain to pass so they could take a pic, but couldn't remember who.
And on it went.
I am pleased that I got half correct.
I think I at least had them correctly sorted into North American and overseas. I just love the Row Houses. Is that what you call them?

Congrats to The Cat!

Did everyone figure out my clue?
House 1.
That is just great! Stinky finally comes to visit and I haven't had time to trim the bushes.
The junipers grow too quickly. But the two jillion gallons of paint I used sure makes the old place bright.
PS: Friends with juicy gossip to share are welcome to use the side door.

Or did I give it away by being "arty" (That's what Lillie called me :roll: ) and putting Stinky in my pic?

Anyway this was great fun.
Thanks all!
jg

PS: If you would like to see the aforementioned side door, PM me and I'll send you a side view of the house.

Congratulations The Cat

This was sure fun to figure out who went where. I was way off on some of the clues :roll: :lol: and I was waiting on pins and needles till the results came out.

Thank you Lillie and Popo, you both did a great job with this.
And I couldn't get on the web site earlier either. Must have been that alien :lol:

Laura you can't have my house :lol: but you're more than welcome to come for a visit. :D

That was SO much fun. Thank you for all your hard work, Lillie and Poops (Alphabetical so you wouldn't get your feelings hurt). You both did a great job - now everybody - let's think of another idea ! ! ! !

I guess my dart throwing wasn't too successfull after all. Poopsie, you show me with 9 corect guesses. Even managing to get my own house right, I can only come up with 8. Did you award extra points for the most creative mis-guesses ?? Shouldn't I have got more then ??

JG - you're too clever by half. I had you living in Amy's house - isn't KS also a wheat state, and Amy living with Dylan and the Scarecrow, in AL of all places. And Kazzie - I even tried to blow your pic up to see if I could see a number on it, but I thought Kaz was a shorter name than Popo, so that leaves Poops and Dunc living together - oops ! ! ! ! The father I go, the worser it gets.

Now, on to the next one. How about "Whose Husband is This?" and we can see if Laura really does live with a guy named Billie :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

well done cat :D

astoundingly impressive, or maybe as one of the better half of our species you're just astoundingly nosey :P
janetgalle wrote:Did everyone figure out my clue?
er no :oops:

there was a clue about wheat states, so i googled it and found kansas and north dakota were wheat states, seeing as i'd already put the kansas and the wizard of oz together on another house, and you had the only profile that said north dakota, your house simply had to be number 9!

it was one of my bankers!!

no wonder i only got 8 :lol:

Haha, it went straight over my head. I had you mixed up with Loirae. I fugured the Junipers clue was about the old song Jennifer Juniper and plumped for Loirae. I thought Loirae's house was yours because it looked flat and you once said North Dakota was flat and the clue seemed to fit too, there being east, west and south ways to get there. :roll:

The houses in a row are called terraces btw. :D

Annie, you did get 9 right. You got Inger, Rose, Liz, Monica, Lillie, Bob, the cat, yourself and Mahaloof. :D

If anyone is confoozled with Dylan's clue - then I am to blame :oops: She asked me to help her with her clue and for some ridiculous reason I thought she lived in Australia :oops: She mentioned scarecrows to me so I assumed she was talking about the Wizard of "Oz" :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sorry once again Dylan - and sorry if it put anyone else on the wrong track Image

I thought my clue was quite easy: My "PAD" - being my Lillie pad :P

:D :D :D I figured your clue Lillie, (Love your house) and i thought Dylan's clue was great, i know she lives on the gulf and she mentioned Ivan and Katrina (Hurricanes) I'm kicking myself about Mahaloof's clue, I should have known, He has that sig with Oliver, DOH! I love his house too.

Thanks Lillie and Popo for all your hard work, This was the funnest contest ever, I like the idea of doing the inside of the house contest.

Finally Congratulations to The Cat :D :D :D

Cathy - I got so caught up with counting the correct guesses and figuring out just who is living with who,
that I eventually decided to write a very special post, just for you

to say Image on your winning entry.

Now I know what happened to all those tickets that everyone was sending to me - you must have intercepted the postal delivery/carrier person and stolen my mail. I know if I'd got to visit all the houses, I would have won. You didn't come to my house, so I guess you still don't know where I live - of course I don't either ! ! ! ! We seem to move around quite a bit.

Honestly, though - you did a wonderful job. You must be one of those people who read all the posts and really remember what you see and read. Unfortunately with me, it all seems to go in one eye and out the other ear. Oh well. I got you right though. I know all about furballs.

Who's game to work on husbands next, after we do the insides of our homes. We could really mess up some relationships that way ?????
