Oh, how sad! Thinking of the Biden family – not just Joe and Jill but everyone else, too. ---

> [@kayT](#): > > Well. since I have now gone over 2 years with no points, I will try very hard not to be conflicted if I ever get points. Not that I am eager for my picks to die, but really, what are they waiting for??? I was hoping for one point this year, but my pick died a few short months before turning 99. What’s up with that? Anyone have Beau Biden? That’s a lot of points, and also unfortunate for the Biden family. ---

Yep. That’s how it starts. I got into reading the threads, and then I decided to post a list, and then I got points! In January! That was two years ago and I have not had any points since. But now I am hooked. And by the way, watch out for that **Baker**. She’s the one who gives points or takes them away. ---

Beware of Stage 3, where you start trying to earn points. Because that will get you disqualified. ---
