Wow coolkraft.... u r wunnerful..... can u cook to?

so are u single slices? or a package?

damn coolkraft...bronco's are in their 3rd inning...and the steelr guys are in their third inning and they are both winning.....I am gonna keep following you around...

congrats. do you need help hauling in all your winnings? Tebow was something

Sounds good. Enjoy the games.

I know of the comment your talking about. What i dont get is why nobody on this site can make a decision without asking everyone else first. That comment does cross the line, now shouldnt a admin take it upon themselves to do somthing about it ?.

Yeah i understand that. I find alot of em think there better then you, and they never admit when there wrong.

For myself, sadly enough I found it the only way to get my point across. I have to say tho your comment caught me off guard, i was cracking up lol.

done-- I'm now gone for a week though-- getting on a cruise ship! Signing off

Try clicking on neon's name to bring up his/her profile-- otherwise, not sure I can help. It worked right away for me (just half an hour ago)

I hope so too - was really getting into the game last time!! good fun

The golf tournament will be something to watch this weekend besides football, hope you don't forget about that question while watching Florida put a beat down on Citadel, and all the other action.

Dang Chargers...lost another one in the final minute of the game. We both lost that bet, I had wagered on the Chargers as well.

I agree with you completely, I hope the championship game is Florida vs Texas Tech - that would be a fun game to watch because of how explosive both offenses are.

What's up with pulling Tebow 1 TD short of settling a hubdub question?! Doesn't Urban Meyer know about hubdub?!

I have to agree with SD that the Gators are the hottest team right now, but..shhhhh...don't tell him...think that they'd do a number even worse to Texas Tech than what they did to Ohio State...and yes, this is coming from a Seminole! ugghhhh

Okay, I just want to get out of the BC game and head to the ACC championship against Miami...this is not looking real good right now either! grrrrr (to quote you lol)

Are you a Gator fan CK? They sure looked good today - I thought after the loss to Ole Miss they had no shot at winning the National Championship, but today I think they should be the favorites to win it all. I hope to see Florida vs Texas Tech, now that would be an exciting match-up..
By the way...I appreciate your comment. It's nice to know that the questions are being enjoyed, and thanks for playing them!

Hopefully, we will have another Sunday Night in-play party...so be on lookout. Last week was fun, don't you think?

I bet you are! Are you singing "we are the boys" too? Tebow needs 1 more TD to win the 4+ touchdown question!

I was going to try to go to the FSU-UF game, but am starting to get a little worried...

Yeah! Now that's the way I like to start off my weekly football pool! lol Okay, next pick... :)

Thanks for friending me-- thought we cheeses should stick together :) Wow it's your NAME!!

Ah, you think a third party candidate will get some of the popular vote? I haven't thought/seen/heard anything from third partyers, with all the battle and mud from the top two... then again, only 6% is needed for you to get a win... Good luck!

glad to have you....I have learned a lot from these hubdubbers...different type of conversation

ah- I found your invite... Hubdubbers are interesting people, aren't we? I don't do a lot of chatting or working the discussion boards, tho all this political pressure keg is fascinating.

cool to have you.

Nice meeting you, now I have a friend in Port Charlotte, and Naples. Neat !!

Thanks for adding me as a friend coolkraft.

you bet ....I have you on my list....welcome...you card carrying conservative

Thanks for adding me you hemp loving liberal! Jk...... or am i? Anyway its great to be included on such a exclusive friend li....... Wait a second... Your friends with deelilley! Holy crap! You let anyone onto that list dont you?

Thanks! Your friends list is a nice place to be :-)

Yeah, I really love glassbooth (it was especially helpful in distinguising between the 50 primary contenders last year!). I wish everyone was required to check it and figure out their vote based on issues instead of being swayed by all the hogwash on TV or on the internet. Sigh....

Thanks for the invite! Always looking for good hubdubbers!

techcrunch....not your fault but funny that it happened with you and Valhorn only

oh dear - sorry for clogging up your inbox ... i'll look into it. were the 3 challenges all for the techcrunch question? or were there 3 each for the techcrunch/apple questions?

I heard from several NFL insiders it was season ending. He wasn't that healthy to start season, and that injury looked just like the one carson palmer had a few years ago.

Yeah Ike looks like it will miss us. I am taking a beating on the NFL markets. But they seem to have good activity.

Thanks. We are trying out a bunch of different markets this week to see where user interest is and what works and what don't. Look forward to hearing feedback from you and others.

thanks for the response...

Hi coolkraft,

The Dunwoodie market was settled correctly. The problem was that the confirmation hearing where she was confirmed was actually on July 23rd ( http://www.senate.gov/pagelayout/legislative/one_item_and_teasers/noms_confn.htm ). Thats why your last prediction was voided it was done on the 28th.

Hope this clarifies it,
Ryan

Same exact thing they said about Hurricane Charley at this point... lol...

Thank you for being a friend...

Heh... very small world! He's the top Guidance Counselor at the school.

Ryan: I do not see how they could only reprimand one member of this team..do you?

My opinion for this question is simple: all the officers INVOLVED in this should be reprimanded....this was a TEAM albeit SWAT TEAM...there will be serious repercussions for this ...

Hi coolkraft,

The market you made regarding the SWAT Team in Maryland, how does it settle if only one officer from the SWAT Team is reprimanded?

Cheers,

Ryan

Hey Thanks for add, I'm hoping my Estimates in some way HELP save this world..
and you.

My father works at East Northport Middle School. Huntington is great for shopping, good nightlife as well.

Thanks CK. I kind of prefer looking at my son, but they asked us newbies to put up actual pictures (not that anyone else is doing it!) Oh well.

Thanks for all the links you've been providing. You're really prompt!

Hey Coolkraft!

I'm from Huntington on Long Island, now in Edinburgh of course though at University. Where are ya residing now?

@VH did not get water charge more than once...but did get the others multiple times so I unfriended you..I got identical dupes at the same time of the same question...dont know what could cause that..only happened with you

Annie

@ coolkraft...

As an experiment I just sent this market to ONLY you; http://www.hubdub.com/m12561/Will_any_other_major_US_Airline_charge_for_water_before_Labor_Day. If it's not too much trouble, do you mind telling me whether you got notice on it more than once?

Just curious,
Adam

On a completely unrelated note... I used to work for the airlines and I've visited dozens of beaches, but I found that the sand in your area was some of the nicest anywhere!

Dear Annie,

Honestly I've no idea what's going on, you're the only one that's mentioned it. Let me ask you... A lot of my markets get voided and I have to XXL them, adjust them and resubmit, I assume that's not what you're talking about.... right? You are saying that you get identical dupes in succession, right? I'm really sorry, if you'd like go ahead and unfriend me, I'm really not intending for them to go out more than once. It's really odd, I have 57 people in my friends list and whenever I broadcast my questions to my friends list it's all or none, I don't pick out certain people, but you are the only one to mention this problem, I think you said last time 6 times (!) Is it still that bad, I'm really sorry.

Kraft Profit Tops Estimates; Shares Climb on Earnings Forecast

Hey -- I'm glad to see you are doing so well! Congratulations! ;-)

reading hubdubbob's comments was very interesting...he has a lot of valid points

tisha: void question

hey coolkraft - sorry for the late response ... I think the problem is just that it will be difficult to keep track of all these gaffes also - just trying to make the market watertight. I can see what you're saying though, I suggest you continue the discussion on the market page, and if you can all agree then post another question :)

uh,
uh,
uh,
uh,
uh,
uh & uh.... No, I have no idea, sorry for the nuisance, I don't know how that happened... although I did send in a query today that I was a little concerned that the new formatting that makes forwarding Q's to friends was now easier and more automated and could potentially result in some "echoing", perhaps my apprehension was clairvoyant. Sorry about that, certainly wasn't intentional, I'll try to be careful abou that.

Hi,

I think you only get one flag (I don't know if that was changed or not)... if you CAN re-flag, then do, otherwise posting in comments is the way to go (although you can also use the "Contact Us" link in the "Help Section" ... which will get then get forwarded to the appropriate Category Editor)

I read your comments in the thread about "monetary" punishment. I just wonder if one of the contractors received a "reprimand" from one of their superiors, if that wouldn't be considered by some as a "punishment".

ALL of these "clarification requests" you see, BTW, are done solely to try to avoid problems at Settlement Time" ... sometimes users perceive questions like what I'm asking you as being "nit-picky" or "too technical", etc. -- but really, it's all about trying to have a smooth, fun time -- with easy settlements ;-)

BTW -- the "Shout" function on HD is pretty lame (and I'm told "it's on the 'The List' of things to get fixed".)

In order for YOU to send a shout to me (or any other user) you have to click on their user name -- or otherwise get to their profile, and leave YOUR shout on THEIR profile.

Otherwise, your shout "stays" on YOUR profile page, and the person you think you are "sending" it to won't ever know! (Unless, like me:-0 they come back and look ;-)

ty Roger...it includes any form of punishment...have flagged for change of wording...can I reflag or do I wait????and it is one of the saddest things I have seen. A Navy Seal's mom was on tv last week reporting how it took so long to find out how her son died in the shower by electrocution..they said he was holding an electric appliance while showering...she said no way he would do that...but there are others too and these contractors are reprehensible

Hey there!

I read the article about "Will any US contractors be punished for the deaths of American soldiers in Iraq by electrocution?"

That is such sad news.

A question -- does "punishment" include *any* form of punishment (monetary as well as imprisonment)?

Maybe you could send a flag to the Category Editor with a clarification that could be edited into the question.

As sad as it is, thanks for creating this question!

-Roger

@Jenni...thanks for encouragement for all my web surfing..really enjoy Hubdub and its challenges...love that some questions are sooooo funny

@valhorn..US news & Political Bulletin friday 7/11 says WSJ reports Obama's campaign brought in about 30 million in June...do not subscribe to WSJ so could not find there

Please be careful about the startihg odds you use. The Hewitt - Federer question is actually a good market - but 50:50? Do you believe Hewitt is just as good as Federer?
I'd sincerely appreciate reposting the question with more realistic odds.
Thanks ;)

yes I am hoping they will raise their hands together and I will not lose my $1000 bet

Did you see the news about the first Obama-Clinton fundraiser next week?

I changed the question...added NY Times best seller list.....

Some dude asking something in the comment section.

thanks for the info on the beer battle

yes...as long as I know its you I feel safe now LOL..I deleted the duplicate challenges

Thats my name. did you get two of the same challenges?

I came across this today: http://www.portfolio.com/news-markets/top-5/2008/06/12/Beer-Battle-Brews/?TID=wiredpartner
I think the only thing that could prevent the deal is if the shareholders decide not to give it up lest they lose an American Icon.
