Hmmmm…… perhaps I should have posted more short comments!

I can not believe that I actually won something. I believe the Paul Heil post really sparked some interest.

Tell you what, Matt, if it’s ok with Daniel, I’ll have him ship you the 3 cassettes that I won. You were a great sport, and I already have at least 2 of those albums.
So, send your mailing address to Daniel (again, if he’s ok with it), and we’ll share the grand prize.

Sounds great.
I was tempted to give the 4th spot to Matt, anyhow, since he was 10,009 and J.C. Johnson had two.

That is a great idea about sharing!! I did not even think about the contest when I was posting today. Daniel, do you think that the one that got the next post after me would like to have my second prize? I am definitely not stingy. I had a great time talking with everyone!!!

I think she would. Andrew was right after one of yours, and LaShay Bankston was right after the other.
Want it, LaShay?

Awwe. That’s kind, but I wasn’t posting to try to win anything. Fact of the business, I really didn’t have a clue what was going on with the contest thing until just now. So, anyway, thanks.. but I most probably wouldn’t listen to it, and I don’t want to take something and not put it to good use.
Thanks, tho!

Okey doke. I will definitely put it to good use but I feel bad about taking two prizes. Daniel, are you sure that there is not another blogger around the same time I posted that would want the prize? I greatly appreciate the prizes. I am like LaShay in that I did not even think about the 10,000 comment competition until I left the website and came back and saw that I had won. It was pretty cool to see my name in a blog though!! Anyway, just let me know.

Well, let’s see here. I know Amy Phillips was really hoping for a prize. If it’s all right with you, I’ll offer it to her.
Interested, Amy?

And now I am hopelessly behind on comments! Sixty-two on one post! Even at 50 cents an hour to use internet, I just don’t have the time … Congrats to all! Tyler has quite a nose for showing up at the right time on the internet!

Daniel: Why did you remove my comment this time. Whai did I do wrong? please explain.

Comment by Beverly Johnson (October 9, 2009, 11:57 pm)
I see alot more are gone. WHAT’S UP. There were at least 10 to 15 more. My comments were in the same vain as theirs. I am now really surprised at what your doing. Not Christian like.

Comment by Daniel J. Mount (October 10, 2009, 6:45 am)
But I didn’t remove any comments. Beverly, I believe you are mixing up threads.
Please be careful before accusing me of being not Christian like.

Lol, Amy. I couldn’t believe my post won. I thought my post was too early.
Call it a man’s intuition.
