FortheloveofGod...........I have been looking forever!! I haven't found any, I have no idea what I am looking for, but in my obsessive way, I keep looking.
Are we all just dorks or what?? haha  Cheesy

That made me giggle. And yes, we are all dorks. When I try to explain some of the stuff on this board, like the name your kindle, or show your picture, my walks away mumbling to himself about carting me away. But I just laugh, cause it's so much fun here.

NOW TELL ME THE STUPID EGGS ARE, DAM***!!!!

Dear God in Heaven - Thank you, I am blind now, but I have found all 10 and sent the PM to the great Egg Hunt Contest in The Sky!  I don't think I have actually read any posts today, just scrolled and scrolled and scrolled and.......

Lots of fun (now that I found them) - thanks Mods!

It's a good think they didn't start the hunt yesterday.  With the trouble people are having finding these, you would have all thought it was an April Fools joke  Smiley

Found them!

Now back to fuming at USPS's hideous tracking system. My Kindle can't still be in Kentucky, it was shipped Monday! Or, well, I suppose it could be... At least my Oberon Sun cover is here already!

^ The "egg" threads are "current threads" in that they appear in the first page of topics on the boards - - but in that thread there may be posts that go back earlier than that. And eggs may be hidden in those earlier pages of the thread.

This sounds really fun, but I don't know if I'd recognize one if I saw it. I guess when I see one I'll know?

I can't find ANY eggs. Harvey, are the eggs placed using some kind of script that might be blocked by FireFox's NoScript add-on? Just wondering because I've been looking all over without any luck.

No, nothing tricky with the eggs - they are clickable graphics so they should appear just like any other graphics in posts.

We'll give some more hints in the next few days on where those pesky eggs are hiding.

You're doing better than me - I found #8, but I've only found 4 total - this is making me feel pretty dense....but since I've been resting a sprained ankle at least I don't feel too bad about how much time I've devoted to the search.
