Max sat up with me, too...he wanted a birthday present...lmaooooYUP! and we were all sleep deprived!!! HAHAHA!!
I seriously slept until 11:30 this morning!!
I should go buy my manx MeepBoop a new toy or a puppy because he was the reason I managed to stay up all night.
He kept pouuncing on me and trying to play when I laid down during the contest.. Which helped me stay awake. (or woke me when I dozed off) A 22lb cat pouncing on you ..wakes one up pretty quickly!
am I the only runner up so far that WASN'T posting in the contest thread at the time?So it CAN happen...am I the only runner up so far that WASN'T posting in the contest thread at the time?
You could be posting on any thread while the contest ran.....just most people were on the contest thread when it endedSo it CAN happen...
I think this is the first forum I've ever seen (and this is not the first time I've seen it, here) that actually promotes spam posting instead of trying to eliminate it...
)..truth..I haven't even gotten thru reading all the posts after midnight ....but it sounded like everyone there had a blast!
I think we accomplished the purpose of this thread..beyond all expectations 
Well, I was sort of "spamming" at the time, I was answering as many question posts as I had answers to, and posting in one of my "social" threads.So it CAN happen...
So there is still hope for me......am I the only runner up so far that WASN'T posting in the contest thread at the time?
Just so you know... this forum activiely discourages spam in any number of ways -- 5 posts in the new member forum, plus moderators prowling around the clock for actual spamming and also off-topic posts...
It was a very special case for the contest, of just postpostpostpost till your fingers bleed...

(see my posts the day before the Big Win for reference point..heeheeheee)"..was the Summer of '69" ....(not ready for the party to end....)
..no more..."utter silliness" ??!I think the party is goinng to go on in a more mild way until we know who all of the winners are and what everyone got.
Then we will go back to our regularly scheduled programs![]()

Yep....but in the meantime, hanging with some great people, cheering them on till full list is announced, and shopping with a few of the prize suppliers to maybe get something I didn't win. Except my bacon juice...lol...I'll wait for that in the mail!I think the party is goinng to go on in a more mild way until we know who all of the winners are and what everyone got.

Because THIS happens:
Ouch!!!!! Yeah, I was pretty zombified all day yesterday. I haven't pulled an all nighter since I was a paramedic...lol....Yeah, it was fun as everything.. and I don't begrudge anyone who's already won something. I'm just grumpy because my lack of sleep made me so foggy and I burnt my finger so badly last night while fixing dinner -- I *knew* I wasn't up for anything ambitious, but figured I'd do ok with microwave stuff... but you do not want to be trying to remove the plastic film from a Stouffer's lasagna when you're walking in your sleep.Because THIS happens:

It's hard to tell from the pic, but that red area is a blister... full 2nd-degree burn. But I slept for ELEVEN HOURS last night, midnight to 11am... and it feels better today. I have it bandaged now so it won't encounter anything warm or hot...
