Looks like I missed out on all the fun, as usual.
I didn't participate, but I'd still love to know who won and what they pick.
Maybe a locked thread where each winner and what they chose is listed as they happen?
Anyway, Congratulations USMC!

Aren't we all so curious?
We love vape mail! Even if we aren't the ones getting it!! Hahahahahahaha
Nasty burn u got there, Andria...putting an ice pack (wrapped in a towel or cloth of course) was the only thing for me that ever made it feel better right afterwards...when it would start to feel like it was on fire, I'd put the ice back on..really did the trick...then a lil neosporin and covering with sterile gauze and tape or a big enuf bandaid. Glad u r feeling better.... Burns really hurt bad!!I did, and just bought some more 'cause I'm nearly out, but it really doesn't hurt anymore... though I'm sure that could easily change if I had to do the dishes, so my husband has been notified that he needs to step up and take one... or two or three... for the home team.
And we bought lots of frozen meals at the grocery, since cooking entails a lot more dishes than just putting stuff on plates.

Yeah, my cold packs live in the fridge instead of the freezer, because I hate ice touching my person so much; I have 4 of 'em, so once they weren't really cold anymore, I swapped for a cold one; it was the ONLY thing that helped, but everytime I took the cold away, it would start hurting again within minutes, so I finally broke down and took one of those leftover pain pills. Between that and 3 ibuprofens, it stopped hurting so badly, and I was able to get to sleep -- being so exhausted probably helped a lot, but I was afraid that going to bed at midnight would mean I was up early this morning -- but I needn't have worried; I was exhausted enough to sleep 11 hours! And still feeling "out of it;" I'm so un-used to any psychoactive medicine like that after 22 yrs sober, I felt like I had a hangover all day, crashing headache and all. So I'[ll probably sleep very soundly again tonight. This old body just can't shake things off the way it used to.

Congrats to ALL the winners, this was an awesome contest... Cant wait for more chances to win but look more foward to posts of Ideas and Tips... Also the funny pics threat is well worth a check out from time to time...
An easy way to find the lists as they are released is to just bookmark SmokeyJoe's profile, assuming he stays the sole person posting the news lists you'll be able to find them without sifting through pages and pages here wondering if you missed it.

With all of those prizes available I do hope SJ/flushdraw/whomever spread them around to as many people as possible. (But, then again, I'm that kind of lefty. I'm sure the Koch brothers would like to see them all go to one or two. )
Really sorry about the confusion on the sub-contest, @WifeyCO. I've learned (the hard way) to never try to help announce a winner in someone else's contest.

I didn't even know there was a time contest. With hundreds of posts per minute it seemed daunting to even exist in those moments lolPer SmokeyJoe:

hehheh...yep..this old body can't do ALOT of things it used to
...smart keeping plenty of cold packs on hand and swapping them out. Last bad burn I had I had to sleep with the cold pack ON or there was no sleepin'...As u mentioned..cold pack, not ice pack..so there's no worry of cold injury while I slept. Who'd a thought a relatively "small" burn could cause such misery..it's all those nerve endings the skin is loaded with 'em!!
Insult to injury..burn on top of too little sleep the night before 
I wish I was active during the time of 15 million. I honestly had forgotten about it the past few days.
So you're saying there's a chance it could be manipulated so that I could be a runner up?
Woohoo! There is hope after all.

Hey Andria, I'm probably going to get people calling me a gullible idiot for this and I'm a bit embarrassed/apprehensive about sharing it because of the stigma around it, but hear me out. Try taking some regular flour and putting a decent amount on the burn (assuming the skin isn't broken) then cover with a bandage that keeps the flour in and maintains a little amount of pressure.
I have been using this as my go-to burn remedy for several years now and I am being completely honest when I say, for me personally, it works magnitudes better than ANY other burn remedy I've tried, and I've tried neosporin, ice, burn gel, those sticky pads that cool the wound, all in conjunction with acetaminophen, ibuprofen, stronger stuff, pretty much every major one out there. From extreme pain to almost completely pain-free, with bad burns blisters do not form at all. It's completely magical.
There is supposedly no scientific reason why it works, snopes "debunked" it, but I absolutely promise that I have tested this method thoroughly and have always had amazing results. That's why I mentioned being embarrassed to mention it, since I'm usually the type to avoid "folk" remedies and am generally a pretty logical and scientifically minded person, but I use this every single time I get a burn and I've had no blisters and almost no pain since I've started using flour.
I heard this first from a glassblower back in 2004 or 2005 who swore by it. I passed it off as hippie ramblings until I randomly tried it after severely burning my hand about 4 years ago on a high-powered soldering iron while soldering some motors on my R/C cars. I thought the iron was off and grabbed it by the front and made a half-inch wide burn down most of my thumb and about half of my index finger. It was bad enough that there was smoke, burning skin smell, but the skin wasn't broken.
I covered in flour and then wrapped with gauze and the pain was gone within about 5 minutes without any pain medication. I was amazed and thought maybe the burn wasn't as bad as it looked/felt at first. After about 20 minutes I took the gauze off my thumb and wiped away the flour, the skin was discolored but there was no blister, within about 10 seconds the searing horrible pain came back and in a panic I put more flour on and wrapped it back up, and the pain was gone very shortly after.
I left the bandages on for a little over 3 days then took them off, the skin was thicker feeling, had a little loss of sensation, and discolored where the burn was, but there was no blister, no broken skin and no pain. After another few days with nothing on the burn a blister did eventually form, but it was smaller and didn't fill up enough that it needed to be drained, it just reabsorbed back into the skin and eventually faded away. It did seem like the blister on the thumb was worse than the index finger, maybe from taking off the bandage for that short period of time, or maybe it was just burned less.
I've done a ton of soldering, dabbled in glassblowing, have several hobbies that require use of torches or otherwise extremely hot things so I've been burned more times than I can even remember, and ever since that time I've used flour and seriously haven't had a single blister since. If you take the bandage off too soon a blister will form like it did that first time, but it's far less severe than normal.
Like I said, plenty of people call BS on it, and I can't provide you with any scientific evidence that it works, or why it does, but I have zero reason to make anything up and have consistently had this work wonders for me. I have a theory that the flour absorbs the moisture that would normally form the blister, and when a blister forms it's basically tearing your skin apart, kind of de-laminating it, which causes a great deal of pain. There may be something else going on with the flour, maybe some chemical interaction or something else but for me personally all I can say is that it works.
I only suggest it because it's so easy to try there is really nothing to loose, but if it does work for you, then you'll have an amazing tool to put in your toolbox for the future. My fear of getting burned has seriously diminished greatly since it's now so easily treatable for me.

To appease both me and poor @beckdg I suggest we have an extra special contest. The two of us open a thread where for one hour we post as many naked pics as we can, and the most prolific of us wins. 
Thanks Sparkles. It was quite a pleasant surprise. I'm very grateful and very happy to be a part of this forum with all the awesome people that share such great knowledge daily. Imagine the countless things I'd have given up on trying if there wasn't a link somewhere here to guide me through it. Not to mention the things not smashed against the wall because I couldn't get it to work or look right. So my walls and floors send their gratitude too.....LOL
