So, I am getting a lot of PM's from people who submitted grades for the first round asking when more books are posted.  :frown:

probably not a good idea opening this contest to non current board members-

dang not seeing much activity.  I think the 'only 10 people get prizes' kinda killed it.

I think it shows that some people here care more about receiving than giving.

in the past with like 80 entrants, the prize thread was chock full of valuable prizes.  heck one time I got 2 $150 books plus a $20 bill-and I came in like 14th pace.

Not sure what more you could have said that you hadn’t stated earlier. (shrug) 

Well, maybe you could have said that you will not be holding their hands throughout the contest and you won’t be waking them up every morning for school.

maybe in future:
"Read these instructions carefully and pay attention.  150 people were kicked out of the last contest because they failed to do this".

The effort we individually expend during the challenge, including the camaraderie we share through these contest-related posts, is the real prize.  And this prize is available to each and every person who participates.  Remember, the zest in life comes from the journey, not the final destination!   :preach:

I always thought if you entered you had to put up a prize. I had fun picking out those prize packages for you guys. Made some great connections with you all through the prizes. Made some good friends! One year I put together 2 or 3 to choose from. So if you made it to the bottom of the list (which was where my prizes were :roflmao:) At least you had a choice. I always included a gift card.

I agree, this is a great community!

However, it would still be nice to have some prizes too! :devil:

you should demand all your prizes back!  I think the void-for-vagueness doctrine covers this!

Isn't this the 4th night this week you've had meatloaf?

Do you live with Alice from the Brady bunch?

lol I sure seem to lately!  this is my 6th meatloave.  I make one every 3-4 days, and make either mashed potatoes, garlic bread, or stuffing to go with it.  :acclaim:
