    Week 4, day 1

    Week 4 - The Burning Building
    Day 1 - The fire begins

    OK, here's this week's challenge: The building is on fire! All players are on the 5th floor and need to make their way through the door before both the building, and themselves are consumed.

    Lyehopper gets off to an early lead. He ran from his room holding a FORG after he smelled smoke but then remembered that he was not cooking anything. Lets hope he doesn't trip as he runs. RL heard Lyehopper running down the hallway and then smelled the smoke. He's closely behind Lyehopper, clutching a sixer in one hand and his darts in the other. Jiesen also heard the ruckus caused by Lyehopper, but he can't stop screaming and chasing after his pet mice- he's still in his room. Skiracer noticed how warm he was getting, so he decided to go for a walk. We're not sure if he knows whether the building is on fire, or not. It seems that Karel is pulling meat from the ice-box and is getting ready for the Bar-B-Que. Riverbabe is putting on make-up. Gatorman has not gotten out of bed, yet. Peter Hansen is pounding on doors, but Rob is still on the pot- "I'll get out in good time," he says, "some things shouldn't be rushed"

    1= long
    -1= short


    closed positions:
    none

    And the leaders are:

    GOLD: Lyehopper 2.19%
    SILVER: RL 1.38%
    BRONZE: skiracer 0.80%

        Good thing I wasn't even in the building.

              Wasn't my fault! While I was putting on my makeup, the darned fire gapped up the stairwell right at the open!

                  Just a heads-up:

                  I'll be on the slopes at Seven Springs when the market closes, so today's results and write-up will be considerably late. deal with it.

                    Off Topic-my Daughter

                    Just to up date you on my daughters condition.Sorry I have not let those who were Interested not know what was taking place. This has taken up much of my time, but happy to help her all I can. The broken bones have all healed satisfactory but she Is just starting to walk a little with a walker. The pregnancy has not helped, the baby Is fine and will be born on March 20th. Thanks to all who Prayed for her, I'm a believer. We held a benefit for her as she will not be able to return to work for maybe two years and I could not afford her mortgage we raised enough to pay It untill she can return to work. Thanks again for your prayers

                          week 4, day 2

                          Week 4 - The Burning Building
                          Day 2 - Somebody call the fire department!

                          Woah now that everyone is awake and aware that the building is on fire, we're starting to see some more action. Lyehopper made it all the way to the 4th floor, but abruptly turned around when he began to think that he forgot something. RL, who was close behind Lye at the start is now on his own, alone on the staircase, holding his darts in one hand and a fiver in the other. Gatorman woke up and quickly changed clothes, he's heading in the right direction, now. Karel, deciding that the Bar-B-Que might be better outside, grabs his meats and sprints for the exit. He is now in the lead! Mimo 100 is closing the space behind him. The meat smells delicious. Jiesen still can't find Minnie and continues to scream every once in a while. New-born baby saw a chance to get to the 4th floor before many others. He's poised to take the lead from Karel if he could just get up and run instead of crawling. Sirtuck ran into the shower fully clothed and then into the hallway, soaking wet and ready for the mad dash to the door. It has been rumored that peanuts is in his room stuffing his pockets with gold before he makes for the door, we'll see whether peanuts can get out without being roasted. IIC grabbed his camera; he's planning to sell the pictures of this drama to the newspaper for some lunch money. Riverbabe is finally ready and just opened her door. Let's hope she didn't forget anything. Rob is reading the sports section now.

                            Thanks for letting us know about your daughter's recovery, RL. I'm so glad to hear she's doing so much better now, and that the baby is doing well, too. She's very lucky to have someone like you to look after her, and help her through this terrible ordeal.

                              Ray,
                              Sounds like she was really banged up pretty bad. Glad that she is coming around and the baby is going to be fine. Were praying for her complete recovery. Keep believing in Jesus and that everything is going to turn out fine and it will.

                                I echo these sentiments, Ray. Next time that you need to raise money, let me know. I'd like to help.
