| Dwayne Rankin | HA!! Rob, now I"m laughing. I know that there have been several who have won twice. I guess I've got 3 under my belt which is a total surprise to me. I just like to enter cause it adds a little spice to my month as I quietly await the winners being announced. It also gets more people reading which is what this is all about. Right now I don't even have one written for June's contest. But thats ok, I'll (hopefully) get one written soon. Thanks for responding like this Rob. Oh one more thing, this next winter can you do something about keeping that COLD northern wind from coming down on us here in Washington State from Canada HA!!! Hope you have a great day and weekend coming up. | USA | 5/18/2012 9:26:06 PM |
