Not sure what more you could have said that you hadn’t stated earlier. 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. kav and fast eddie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ) At least you had a choice. I always included a gift card. kav and Comics4All 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
