Baby Pool e-mails (November 1998 - January 1999)
update:
Jolee's a bit disappointed so far in the showing for her new sibling's baby pool. We only have five entries so far, the winner receiving a measly $18.75 if the baby were born today (not very likely, don't worry).
An additional note, one entry has listed the new child at well over 9 pounds. Melanie was very unhappy with that choice, for obvious reasons.
update:
Well, someone thought they'd be funny and pick JANUARY 22nd as the due date of the newest Cohen, and we all know what that means.
In all fairness, voting ends, you guessed it, January 21st. We have 25 entries, meaning the winner will get $87.50. There are 61 people on the Jolee mailing list, and the 25 entries include people not online, and also includes multiple guesses. This means a lot of you have yet to place your wagers. Well, do so now, before it's too late. Remember, the new baby gets 25% or $37.50, and I really don't know how I'll explain it to him/her when s/he's older. You don't need to send the $5 entry fee right away, don't be intimidated because I work at a collection agency, we just want maximum participation!
Call or e-mail us with any questions

Well, at least one of you noticed. Steve Proulx, former Oxy next door neighboor, and now the sole recipient of Jolee updates in Europe, questioned my math skills when alerting all of you to the dwindling timeframe of the Baby Pool: The correct breakdown was, at the time, $93.75 to the winner, $31.25 to the baby. I somehow had incorrectly broken it down into a 70-30 ratio, as opposed to a 75-25 ratio. Oh well. However, Rich Heller has made that moot, by sending in his guess, thus bumping the ante to $97.50/$32.50.
alert!
Uh, those of you who have yet to submit guesses in the baby pool, may want to do so before it's too late.
We're not sure what it was, but we went to the hospital last night after Melanie experienced some contractions. Don't worry, your bets are still safe. Oh yeah, and Melanie's okay too. As the hospital security guard declared, "False Alarm!" Given the go-ahead by the doctors, we returned home, shaken not stirred. He who hesitates is lost. No fair buying into the baby pool after Melanie goes into labor. Act now if ye have yet to act!
