I'll take the blame !
See?
I'll take the blame !
Ah but the section of that which says RULES, reads:
Special rules for the September 2013 contest:
1. Each entry must be taken outdoors or be a photo of an outdoor activity.
2. All other General Rules still apply.
The rest might just be a suggestion.
Yes, that's how I went. This is a contest for a vendor of vaping goods, and it is housed on a website dedicated to promoting vaping, so the hope was that pictures would, in fact, portray vaping. However I went over all the rules carefully to make sure there was no specific requirement for vaping as I know a few people who do not vape in the presence of their children and I would rather people be able to share pictures of their families having fun together, at least for this contest, than to possibly not enter because they had to show vaping. I didn't specifically say "you don't have to show vaping" because I didn't want the contest to be overrun with pictures that were totally unrelated to vaping at all. Ah well, I usually know better than to leave anything in any way ambiguous...
Okay, first things first. I apologize for seeming to be MIA for the last week or so. I've been logging on and trying to keep up, but things have been very busy in meat life. The new laws for national health care reform are going into effect very soon and as it is actually the individual states that administer Medicare and Medicaid all the application, approval and administration processes have to be radically overhauled to account for the changes, and all the programs and programming has to be adjusted to accommodate the expected explosion in eligible participants. My job (the one that pays our rent) is to monitor the computers that do all the processing (and print out all the letters and reports that get generated), as well as everything to do with unemployment, childcare, child support, voter registration, drivers licenses, etc. As they've been on the last leg of changes and upgrades, things have been very hectic (and all the muckity-mucks above me have been in panic mode). I've been trying to keep the wife and daughter from killing each other as the wife has started painting and the daughter is getting ready to. And as the wife's gastric issues have seemed to relapse a little, I've been handling the school, dinner and bedtime duties for Rhianna. I'm not making excuses for my absence, just letting you know where I've been.
And the August contest drawing just slipped my mind--I haven't even printed out the entries
I don't have a printer here at home so I will have to wait until Monday night to print them, but Rhianna has come up with the method for choosing the August winner so I should be able to get that done and posted Tuesday afternoon or evening.
And I'll try to do more than just hit and run reading for a while
Why am I the only one who posted a photo of me actually vaping (besides Pop... lol)??
I thought that was the whole point of the Contest...
