<p>How many points is that jym? I have to wait until tomorrow for you.</p>
<p>Hunt -You get 10 every 24 hours and you can repeat every 20 hits.</p>
<p>I dont know if its harder to get reps the higher point count you have. Others have said that it has to do with how many other people you have to rep in between, ann/or the time you have to wait in between.</p>
<p>I will try tomorrow jym! Cant’s rep you still…</p>
<p>I’m not the guru on this but I believe you have to wait 48 hours AND rep 20 other members (i.e. use all your other available reps). If you don’t use your available reps as they come up it pushes back when they become available, making meeting both of these criteria longer then 48hrs.</p>
<p>I think that’s right blue. I missed my rep giving time last night so everything is now pushed back.</p>
<p>Why did you pick iguana for your name btw? When I was in St. Thomas an iguana stole the fruit I placed on top of the table beside my lounging chair. I thought it was cute.</p>
<p>When DH and I had our first apt together there was this little place around the corner called Blue Iguana. We were poor, just able to afford our $600 rent on our 601sqft apt, but we’d go for brunch once in a while as a splurge. It’s still there, a million years later. Funny how some places don’t make it 2 years, a new name every time you turn around, and others seem to stick around forever.</p>
<p>I was able to bestow another greenie on VAmom, but cant hit the rest of you til I spread more love, per cc :(</p>
<p>Thank you for sharing blue iguana. The story sounds like my H and I too. The first place we had was a rental for $600 but I don’t remember the square footage.</p>
<p>Wow-- looks like there are at least 6 restaurants in the US named Blue Iguana.</p>
<p>Along the same vein, maybe I should have chosen “waffle house” for my screen name :)</p>
<p>What a great story, blue! We started out in a similar apartment and used to get Burger King every other payday (only because I was pregnant and had Whopper cravings).</p>
<p>It’s difficult hanging out here when I know I still have hours to go before I can rep anyone.</p>
<p>If you are afraid of boredom on CC, here is the antidote:</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to the College Search forum, and type </li>
</ol>
<p>“Is Berkeley really better than Duke”</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to the Parent’s forum, and type</li>
</ol>
<p>“Why does Chicago remain the most underrated school in the country.”</p>
<ol>
<li>Go anywhere, and type</li>
</ol>
<p>“Asian with perfect scores rejected by Harvard, Princeton, and Stanford in the Early Round.”</p>
<p>Buy some popcorn and enjoy the fireworks.</p>
<p>Sad but true, xiggi.</p>
<p>ROFL!!! I actually did choke on coffee :D. A friend of my coined the phrase SOW for “spitting out water” - and because it’s fun to type SOW - and that applies here, too!!</p>
<p>

<p>I stumbled upon an old 67-page Xiggi thread from 2005 where Xiggi tries to teach a do-it-yourself approach to SAT prep, which is interrupted over and over by a group of guys who run test-prep services and seek to convince others how valuable their help is without adding much of use to the conversation (one fellow cites protecting his “intellectual property”).</p>

<p>LoremIpsum, you should know that the “interruptions” were not accidental, as I ASKED those pros to comment and add their opinions. I thought it would be more than fair to balance the approach of a no-cost and no-frills (and biased) method with what the people whose livelihood depends from results offered. And despite the acrimony of the discussions with one of them, I enjoyed it because one learns more from divergent opinions than from convenient agreements. Even in the now defunct Political Forum! </p>
<p>Looking back at the thread, I also realize that there are obvious limitations in typing directly into the forum without much editing. Never thought that the “on the fly” contribution would survive that long! But funambulists love the thrills of working without a net. Well, the spectators might like it better!</p>
<p>

<p>Yes, Xiggi, I am aware of that and your intentions were quite noble. Yet once you got these fellows started, it seems some of them couldn’t shut up even when they had nothing new to say. In that regard, your old thread is very much like the ones you mentioned above – the kind that go round and round and round and…</p>
<p>I’m currently on page 8 of 67; I don’t know yet if these fellows get tuckered out eventually and turn to late-night advertising instead. ;)</p>
<p>Recharged some so just hit xiggi, lorem, GA, and a bunch of others I’m blanking on (its an age thing). It would not let me rep hunt, jym, poet, tiger, blueiguana, moreover, someone, neurotic parent and many more because supposedly I had repped them too recently. SUPPOSEDLY.</p>
<p>^^^I bet there’s some kind of affirmative action afoot. Since there’s no real transparency, who can know? I call this a matter of national concern, given how much power is in the hands of the CC PTB (PTB=Powers That Be).</p>
<p>OOh, too bad PTB doesn’t mean Pretty Teal Boxes :(</p>
