Seeing it is nearly Mothers Day I figured I would do a Mothers Day theme.
The one who guesses the closest to my mothers weight wins the SACD
Good Luck.
Ben

    Oh My GOD! I didn't know they had this on SACD! If I don't win, I"m going to buy it...

    Goodness...

    I'm guessing...154.

    No base of reference, just guessed :)

    Good luck all, and AWESOME Karma!

    Hey guys I was just kidding. What I want is a number between 100-200. The number will be picked by a random generator.
