Message Boards

I had hoped they would be waitng when we got home today, but they were no where to be found.

No snow on our driveway today.... come on!

At the risk of sounding like a newbie... What is BOLO?
Honestly, I've been trying for a DH and Urban Oasis Home. Just not active on message boards...

Be On Look Out, I believe. Exciting time, someone is being spied upon.....

Yes Betsy, "Be on the Look out" with us. Hi My three sons, as usual I am excited.

I have been a lurker for a long time. To relax after my 13 hour shift, I enjoy reading the post about DH. I feel like I know so many of you! My dream is to retire in South Carolina, I've heard it is my generations Florida.
I wish everyone luck on winning and think it would be greyt to have someone who has been posting on the board for a long time.

BOLO -
Makes sense now! I've been listening to almost every vehicle that drives past my house... nerve wracking! I think I am giving myself a constant headache over it. Just need the Ambush Team to get here already so I can stop worrying and let this headache go!
Thanks 'mythreesons' and 'nursejudy' for giving me the meaning of BOLO!

Oh My Gosh! It has started....!!

We went to Denny's for breakfast this morning....There were three men sitting a few tables down....my mind wandered in to BOLO mania!

I thought I could be spied upon by those men? I kept looking at all the people as possible spies! And then.....at the grocery store it was worse. I thought any important looking person could have been an HGTV spy patrol checking us out! Oh Boy! Here it goes again...it is going to be a fun few weeks!

Still nothing here! And my family are grumpier than wet cats. If they knew I was winning a major prize they'd be a lot happier. Sigh.

The rules says the "random" drawing will be on or about Feb 27 and the winner "ambushed" on or about Feb 28 - Mar 4. No reason for BOLO just yet

Mickey: there's always a reason for the BOLO.... it's fun!

The rules always say approximately at the dates to keep us on our toes. We always start being on the lookout as soon as registration ends.

Isn't dreaming fun?

Being in Illinois, I think the HGTV sneak team has been using the white out of this blizzard to hide from my view. I did see foot tracks out front....could have been the paper boy....but I think not.

It's a sign I tell you....I have been moping that my DH was to take a job with a Dreamhome sponsor this Friday and my chances where whisked away....and today? This morning he was stuck home because we got dumped on snowise and boss called to say big boss did not want him to leave current company...sooooooooooooo nothing like the last minute to hope that by end of day when the van shows up and knocks on my door I can accept with no reservations of complications....phew.... So much slush in the road they can't sneak by unaware...

Good news Greenalice Footprints in the snow vinnie, good sign.

Thanks Judy...just now a SUV drove slowly past and turned around in neighbors drive to head back.....they had a big stuffed dog in front seat on the mans lap....which made me wonder if there was a doggie dreamhome this year, but otherwise very suspicious....noone would be out in this weather on my road unless necessary especially risking a stuffed animal without a safety belt....

So I am doing what all dreamers should be currently...straightening up that front entry and room.....waiting waiting waiting....

Hey, here's something kinda strange... They picked the winner's name today, right? I got a friend request from Drew Scott of the property brothers on Facebook! Weird huh?

Wow! That's great, I was hoping it could have been me as well.But whom ever got that call what a blessing.

Oh, they said the winner lives in a beautiful place known for it's talented and creative people. That could be anywhere, but I live *near* Laguna Beach, though not *in* Laguna Beach. Tee hee!

No vans or anything strange on my street though. I'd notice too. The only people that come here live here, or are lost!

Nothing unusual around here today...

I am looking

I know waiting to see who has won the dream home, 2013.

At lease I know I am not along, by hoping and wishing it was my door they knock on.

So where did you hear this from?

I cannot find video of monica drawing this years winner. did she say it was from a beautiful place with alot of talented people right after she drew winner? I live in the seattle area, but my town is hansville,wa. not likely she would know where in wa. that is unless she looked it up

Beautiful and talented people that's a tough one. When people say a place with beautiful people many think of Los Angeles or Miami. Mention talented and towns in New Mexico with large communities of artisans are what I think of. But both together, no clue!

When I woke up this morning I looked out the window and there was the strangest looking weirdo looking right back at me. I was sure it was some funny looking guy from HGTV!

After a minute of looking at this scarey character I realized I wasn't looking out the window, I was looking at my bathroom mirror!

I feel better now.

Life carries on. :>)

Life is what happens around us while we are busy making other plans.
Sedona AZ. BOLO.
The rest of us can take a well deserved, nice long nap.

I bet...I just bet....it may be today!
It is Sunday and most people are home in the evening. I bet they show up today! Best Wishes to all you out there! I sure hope it is one of the message board peeps! Speaking of peeps...keep your peeps wide open! It may be YOU!

picture on the blog of the drawing and an anouncement that Monica is expecting in July

I've been reading the blog and read the announcement. Congratulations, Monica and family, what wonderful news! AND....what an awesome way to share it with us. TY

I have been watching. Haven't seen anybody that looks out of place. BUT.. there is a townhouse directly across the street from me. It is vacant right now. With a for rent sign. That would be a great place to sit and watch my house. Just a thought

So exciting, the winner will know soon.

I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary, but I got a call like 30 min ago. There was someone on the line but they never said anything. It was real quiet except I could tell someone was there.I kept asking hello who is this? I never get calls like that.weird. Hopefully they are making sure I am home.

In honor of, "Post in the Third Person Day"...(usually the 28th of the month)
After the sweeps is awarded,
TangoW is looking forward to what is left over, served with frim-fram sauce and chafolta on the side.
He will share it with all the MBers.
No need to even think about thank you notes, dear friends.
Oh, and you needn't mention that his tail light's out.

No not yet

I wish, I got a email

Not real proficient at 3rd person tango, but here goes.

The nurse would be so excited if HGTV arrived and our family could move in. The nurse would share happiness with all.

Oh Lordy, I'm hearing things....
Every little noise outside sounds exactly like the Ambush Team sneaking up on me....
I wish Monica would give us one last hint, as to whether or not the winner has been notified. Either that or just knock on my door already!

Look out the window and please report any strange and unusual activities.

This is the fun time! Keep alert!

If you were told to stay home in D.C. today because of the snow storm, you had no snow, no problem... The champions of forecast operated in that 15% of the time when they don't have any idea what is happening.
Another day, another dollar anyway.
They stated at 6PM that it was a good forecast. Thus the definition of good.
It's mandatory by fed law that they issue a forecast. I think the weather chaps wish they could have stayed home, too.

My son in the midwest had an ice storm. It is beautiful, but dangerous with driving. Beautiful here in sunny California. Good time for HGTV to come.

Yeppie....the last clus says, "My newest hint is that the residents of this state are recognized as being some of the kindest and most generous people in the country." and everyone know the midwest is the friendliest. And I live smack dab the middle of the mid-west! :-)

Yes Illinois is friendly, i lived there. California is very friendly and full of creativity as well.

See anything yet?

Still waitng beez

Was funny...well to me. I came home from shopping the other evening and there was a truck with a camper hitched to it parked across the street from my house. Knowing this neighborhood is mainly a vacation villa resort near Disney World I thought it suspicious there would be a camper (with TN plates) parked here. ppl usually rent the villa houses not bring their campers.
Dang it if I didn't realize later..."Doh! Maybe they are gonna camp in camping park behind our neighborhood and their friends rented the villa."

LMBO
Here's your Sign!

Congrats to the winners! Not us again...

Yep...IL is friendly

I was born and raised there. Whole family is still there. Hope they are going to my Mom's house

that reminds me...I should call her...'it's been a few days since I've heard from her.
