Nice!

And you've leapfrogged past me again. I haven't had a hit in two weeks. I've been entering new bills, but that's only nudged my George Score up to 647.87.

Cool! Are you going to sign up for the $7 a month plan? Or do you want to try out the nifty "Friend" features first? :wink:

No hits for me in the last 17 days. Limping along with a George Score of 648.23. I'm beginning to think I've been using disappearing ink on my Georges. :(

I logged 30 more today, but it didn't even raise my score by a whole point.

No, I am not paying $7 a month.

You will probably get a bunch of hits in a row.

Either that or your bills are spending all of there time trying to get to LB.

This last one went the wrong way and ended up in MA.

Yeah, the number of bills you enter is worth much less than the number of hits you get.
The George Score is calculated as follows:
100* ( SQRT(LN(Bills Entered)) + LN(Hits + 1) ) * [1 - (Days of Inactivity / 100)]
Where:
LN = natural log
SQRT = square root
"Bills Entered" is the total number of bills you have entered.
"Hits" is total number of hits you have received.
"Days of Inactivity" is the number of days since you last ran the 'Your Bills' report.

Yes, that's it! My Georges are all competing to be the first Wild George that beast finds! :)

I'll be cashiering for the Friends of the Library book sale, this weekend. Hopefully, I'll come across a Wild George or two while I'm on shift. Maybe even one of beast's!

After looking at all the bills come by, you would have thought you could have gotten one George!

Daughter1111 does let me know if she finds one at Subway.

Not only did they get flowers from a farmer's market, they got one of my WG bills!

I think this might be my fastest turn around hit.

There's also a pretty interesting description of how the person got it.

The hits on my Georges have been slow in coming lately, but this one was worth waiting for.

Anchorage, Alaska! :D

The summer tourism season is over, so I'm guessing George has been up there for a while and is planning to tough it out for the winter. :wink:

In the past couple of weeks I ran into two $1 bills marked "Where's George" so I entered them into the computer but have not signed up as a member. I could see why Beast would like the site with all the baseball terminology.

That was worth the wait!

Now if the Post Office could find the package I sent to LB, things would really be looking up!

No, I mailed him something else. But it seems that the post office decided they liked it so much they would keep it.

I am distraught.

Why not do like I once did and send a threatening letter to the Postmaster General. Of course, that got lost in the mail as well....
