Is this a contest or a meme or a tag? Is the prize irresistible with value beyond avarice?
I need to know - I really need to know
humm this is interesting John.....will have to give it plenty of thought....;-)
A lovely idea John. I won't enter because I know DaddyP is old and he's been so worked up about my entering the snorgtees thing after winning the oneredpaperclip book (though I kindly gave it to him anyway) that I'm quite worried about his heart.
It's what a good friend would do.
But I shall read the contest entries with pleasure! If some old people would ever get back to me about being a judge... then I could actually get that contest I supposedly started last week, off to a real start.
Sheesh. It's no wonder some people can't keep track of their llamas... they can't even manage their email much less a large and furry/fuzzy beast.
Oops.. he'll think I was talking about him. I did mean to refer to that llama.
YOU EMAILS ARE NOT ARRIVING ANYWHERE.
Did you press send? Just a thought.
dp: This is a contest. The prize is appropriate, and something I think any blogger can use.
darlene: Hence, the deadline. Two weeks for the serious, seriously.
fracas: You...could enter, just in case someone else would beat him...you'd be able to give it to him too. On weekends, you'll be able to compliment him in his rocker how well he won his prize. ;)
DP: I've never sent an email to you. Honest. Time for bed, now.
What? You're supposed to press send?
Frac. Here I've been twinkling my nose thinking I'm Belinda Montgomery all this time.
Great...now I won't feel her nose twinkling at my button.

Oh,I'm in, I'm in!!Thank you!I wish a good week!:-)
Hi John...
Oh my goodness... I didn't expect to be included, so thank you!
I discovered the contest at Pollywog's on the last day just minutes before the contest ended, and by the time I typed a post, the deadline had passed. That's why I didn't come post it.
Either way, between you and Polly, the two of you got me blogging again and I'm having a blast... and that's what counts most.
Then today I discovered I'm blog of the day at FMB, too. Yay FMB.
Anyway, thank you very much for the link - I saw you in my referrers and wanted to come say thanks!
