Today is a sunny and almost nice day, the temp is about 52 degrees and no wind, so walked down to the mailbox with just a long sleeve tee shirt and wasn't cold. I have been watching for the UPS truck. Last week I got an e-mail from the lady with the Microsoft Street & Trips offer and she said she had received my e-mail and that the were awaiting a new shipment and would be sending mine this week. So I have decided my giveaway will be a little different than Rick's , instead of giving a two day period, I decided all that would do is give a couple of days of inflated comments that I would have to sort through. so here is what I came up with. I went back to January 1st 2011 and I listed all the bloggers that have left a comment, this indicates a base of people who regularly read the blog, I came up with 42, I subtracted Rick and two others that won in his drawing and that left 38, if I get anyone new between now and whenever I receive the programs in fairness I will add them to the pot. So with 5 programs to giveaway that makes the odds 10-1 instead of over 20-30 to 1. If some of my regular readers don't know if they commented just send a quick comment, I have a list to make the tags for the drawing and I can quick check and add or verify of you are on the list. I just didn't want this to be away of jacking numbers up for a day so this is what my thoughts are on it.Also if you already have the program and don't want to be considered drop me a quick post or e-mail, My e-mail is in the about us or weeb@centurytel.net , Ok now where is that dang UPS truck..
The week is going by slowly, but I am enjoying reading about our friends who are out and visiting such neat places, hopefully one of these days we will join them, or at least get into weather warm enough to take the trailer to the Lake or on a weekend out . I enjoy just taking it to Iowa and watching the trains go by the campground. Although now fuel will add to the cost of those junkets.
That's about it for today I will let you know when we have the drawing and who the lucky winners will be.
Be safe out there, Sam & Donna...
I don't think I've ever commented on your blog as I haven't been reading it very long. Please add me to the "pot" for the drawing.
ReplyDeleteThanks.

I'm sure like you we hope the weather starts to get better here in MO we have had a bad winter.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea if I commented on your blog..but..it was New Year's Day...probably overserved the night before and couldn't hold my head up to the computer:))))
ReplyDeleteJust a thought - WHEN I win,you can save postage by keeping it until May when I will see you. Just saying.....
ReplyDeletewell you know darn well you can count me out!..already got mine today!!..good luck with the contest!!!
ReplyDeleteNo problem leaving me out Sam as I've got this program already. But, I'll be in line for your next contest whatever and whenever that might be.
ReplyDeleteI read you guys every day but rarely comment. How could I NOT read about another 'Donna'. LOL!!
ReplyDeleteNice of you to do this Sam. I am sure the lucky winners will really appreciate this software and you for taking the time to run this contest.

I think your idea for the contest is a good one. Sure hope I win! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the photos of your mutsos. I am waiting for that UPS truck to arrive as well. Please include me in your contest.
ReplyDeleteWhat a GREAT IDEA, Sam, I do think I have commented before but just in case I haven't I want to allow you to make note today, because I am a avid reader of your blog daily and sometimes (by mistake, I must admit) I open your blog a couple of times daily. LOL
ReplyDeletePlease, Please, do include me in your drawing! With all the different bloggers being able to give this away we all should be able to get a copy soon, I would think! LOL
That's a good idea you have for the contest. Sounds like a great program from reading Karen and Steve's comments about it the other day on her blog.
ReplyDeleteHope your weather keeps improving.

I am an avid reader also, but no thanks on the give-away. Your plan sounds like a very good way to do it though.
ReplyDeletePlease do not include me in the giveaway either. Not enough room in The Jazz for it! You and Rick are making me think that it is time for me to attempt another giveaway! Hope you're having good weather again today. Cloudy and chilly here in Monterey but I'm having a great day!
ReplyDeleteSam, it's Wednesday...where are you? Hope all is well with you.
ReplyDeleteWhat campground do you go to that you can watch trains? My husband and I used to go watch trains, he liked to take pics. I have put some of the pics on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI want to be considered for the Street & Trips drawing! Thanks Sam & Donna. -Phil
