Nope, I'm not getting enough hits for that.

Maybe if they had a cheaper rate to be a casual acquaintance... :wink:

Yay!

But you still will take them, right?

You will get some intresting hits from people who go to Disney.

Of course! If they don't get hits in Florida, there's a good chance of other WDW visitors taking them home to all parts of the world!

A second hit on an Abe Lincoln. He went south to Binghamton, now he's turned west to Buffalo. Jen, the Georger who found him, seems to be as active as Beast. She's got an interesting story in her profile! :)

Poor Jen doesn't yet have a hit in lovely Cleveland County, OK. Please tell her that if she will send all her marked bills to me, I will be happy to spend them as a tribute to her passion. I'll even respond for one or two. Of course, that goes for all Georgers everywhere.

Having just gotten my 7500th hit a couple days ago, I am to the point where about the only goals left for me to achieve (Other than 10,000 hits) are county bingos. There are a few I am getting close too....

In my own state of Illinois, I have hits in 93 of the 102 counties. I am only missing Boone, Hamilton, Iroquois, Jasper, JoDaviess, Mercer, Moultrie, Scott and Stark counties. Scott, Moultrie, Jasper and Hamilton counties are all within 100 miles of me, so it's a bit frustrating that I've never gotten a hit in any of them yet. The rest are all in northern Illinois, however, none of the 9 counties remaining border each other, so it's truly just a smattering of stray counties I need yet to have them all.....

I have hits in 91 of Missouri's 115 counties (Actually, 114 counties and St. Louis city). Unlike Illinois, exactly half of the 24 counties I have left in the Show Me State are bunched together in the northwestern part of the state. You'd think with all the bills I've spent in Kansas City the past 6 years would have knocked out more of that section of the state, but I guess not. Heck, one of the counties I need is Clinton, which is just north of Clay, one of the three counties KC is within. There are three MO counties within 100 miles of me I have not hit yet.... Ralls, Maries, and Shannon.

Then there are the small states I am close in. I have 6 hits in Delaware, but they have all come in Sussex County, leaving me 2 short of collecting all 3 DE counties. I also need 2 counties in Connecticut... Middlesex and Tolland, but it seems like I've been stuck on those two forever. What's up with those two counties chirstie? I need 2 more counties in Rhode Island (Bristol and Newport). I am also getting close in Massachusetts with 11 of that state's 14 counties, needing only Bristol, Dukes, and the immortal Nantucket....

It would also be nice to pick up a Canadian province other than Ontario. All four of my Canadian hits have come from there.... as well as picking up a hit from Africa and that ever-so elusive Antarctic hit.....

I'm back! :)

And while I was away, I've gotten six hits. One was from Orlando, which was certainly a George I took with me to Disney World. Another on Monday was from Puerto Rico, which very likely was also a WDW George (I didn't specially note all the bills I took with me). Then there was also George I entered in July, who showed up in Utah. This brings me up to ten states and one U.S. territory.

Welcome back!

Send me a PM and tell me how the parental units are doing. I hope they are okay enough to make Thanksgiving pleasant.

Was Disney fun?

w00t!

I got another hit in the Finger Lakes on Tuesday, but I'm still lagging behind you with 692.04. I've got so many more bills out there than you do, they just need to start getting noticed!



Incidentally, I learned that MarleysSister is aware of WG. She saw me using some bills with a WG stamp on them to pay for dinner at Planet Hollywood and she said, "those are special bills!" Then I explained about my round WG stamp. I think she's logged Georges she's found, before, but she hasn't started marking and entering any, herself. Maybe I've got an idea for a stocking stuffer! 8)
