genie Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Since I've been worth 2 points, it seems that I can give rep to less people per day. So do you think we all get the same amount of rep each day to pass out (say, 12 points or so), and that it goes faster for some people than for others? Depending on how much "love" they spread each time they rep a person? Does that question make sense? :lol: Well, I suppose I'm showing my inner geek now, but I have kept records, and it seems that no matter how many squares I've had or points I've been worth, it is about 6 people per day that I can rep. Some days it really doesn't feel like I have given that many, but when I keep the notes, it's pretty regularly that much. And while I'm being transparent about my nerdiness, I will also share that the wait for being able to rep the same person again is about 8 days. The key factor is to make sure you run yourself out of rep every day. That's how you spread it around. It doesn't seem to work by just waiting 8 days, although I couldn't possibly go 8 days without spreading the love, even to test my hypothesis. You have to spread it around, and spread it good!

Miss Peregrine Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 You can drive over toward Disney, right? We used to watch theirs from the nearby parking lots! I'll rep you anyway... no fireworks stinks! We are over an hour from Disneyland. We are in a high fire danger zone so no towns around here get fireworks. Thanks for the rep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natalieclare Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I'm showing up here with the second wave of beverages. :cheers2: I've got a sore back today and have been ordered to bed with a quantity of wine (as muscle relaxer). I'm thinkin' my afternoon is starting to pick up! We're on round two of kiddie explosives--all children are required to wear eye protection round the clock this year as my dh treated an 11yogirl on Monday night with a burned cornea, burned *from a smoke bomb*.

DB in NJ Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 I'm up for it, seeing as how, no one invited me to their party. Though it was cloudy all day-- that will show my in-laws to not invite us to the family barbeque :) I guess I'll have to party in my own way. (I did not want to go anyways! lol) Oh now this just isn't right!!! I'm sorry I'm out of rep for the day :( Are there any fireworks you can watch on TV? We'll be watching the Philly or NYC ones (or both, probably flipping back & forth and missing it all!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philothea Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Seriously???? That's just so sad. I'd rep ya' but I'm out. How about you come to my house and to my party? It's just my family, a barbecue, and some cheap fireworks that are sure to thrill my kiddos, but you're welcome!!!! I would have come too! Fireworks are illegal here, except for when towns set them off. The in-laws, how I wish I could trade them in... however at least I am not invited to their parties anymore--I used to go, sit alone, and have no one talk to me. That's worse than not getting invited. Plus my b-i-l insists on doing the grilling and thinks you can serve chicken rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, a fairly conservative law, but one I can live with. So sorry about your in-laws. Sounds like it was a blessing you weren't invited this year!! Really - who needs ecoli?

He just got into nursing school and we could use the extra $$ for the tuition. I told him although I normally am the first person in the car for fireworks, at 8 months pregnant, it's probably better to stay close to somewhere with a bathroom. We have a pool here at our complex, but the weather JUST started getting nice and it closes in 30 minutes! For some reason, I just cannot get two kids and myself into swim gear in under 20 minutes. I wish I had more rep to give out, just for the fun of it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats to your dh for nursing school and overtime!! But, you need your sleep! I had a baby in August and I remember that summer as a VERY difficult and HOT summer! Oh - and I cannot get my kids ready for the pool in 20 minutes either and mine are old enough to dress themselves! Enjoy your night - no matter what you do! (Sleep included!)

You're welcome, Jackie! I also wonder if they have changed how many people you can rep in a day since the board started. I know for the first day or two, there seemed to be no limits on how often you could rep, or how often you could rep a particular person. But then it got a little tighter. I know there were a couple of other people who timed it and found that they could only rep between 4 and 6 people per 24-hour period, and I think they both had 1 square at the time. But you definitely have to run out of rep regularly in order to be able to rep the same person within about a week. If you don't run out each day, it can take MUCH longer!
