Do I need to be a member of the group?

I have bookmarked you and will enter this contest today. Thanks for the reminder. This again highligts the need for a contest section in the network that I have posted about a couple of times

Loreena: You are so positive ...you NEED to be in the group :)

Charlie: Thanks Charlie!

Woo Hoo, Thank You for the update. No pressure, 6 days left. I may need 6 and a half days to write mine, so I guess I best start on this. What is the date of the last day. Perhaps you could add it in to this update so we don't forget the deadline date.

Woo Hoo, Here I looked it up myself.

Post Deadline for the P.A.W.S. Contest is by Midnight October 21st

Sally I was going to try to put something together, but it does not look promising.
Business is good and it does not leave much time right now for anything else.

Thanks William ...those big bold red letters say it all!

OCT

Sally,

Thank you for the reminder...goodness knows I needed it! I'll work on mine later this evening.

Carole: Wonderful! Will look forward to it!

OCT

Some great entries so far, but like the tax credit, this one is coming to a close soon. Hope more people jump on board.

JL: I expect many more...they usually get them in the last few days :)

OCT

Woo Hoo, I made a bunch notes as I worked an entry today and need to do some serious editing, lol. Some great entries thus far.

William...wonderful....hey ...the group is on the first page of groups now. :)

OCT

Carole, you have company on Long Island with the last minute assignments!

Wow, it is an interesting contest.

To George Souto.

George, you culd win the context with just this prase... well, add that you were not that busy before and now you do not have time for the contest BECAUSE OF ACTIVE RAIN (LOL)

Sally - keep on them, it's bringing in more entries. Some great stuff so far.

Jeff

Where do you find these contests? I only ever hear of them after the fact?

Jane: It's not after the fact...we got two days! This is from my group POSITIVE ATTITUDE for the Weary Soul and I try to do one every season or two :)

Shall we expect yours coming in?

Sally looks like a great contest based on what I have seen so far. Best wishes to the participants;at this time I just won't have the time to put a story together.

Hi Sally, we finally made it, here is our link to the contest. http://activerain.com/blogsview/1293287/selling-real-estate-before-activerain-and-now-

Hi Sally,

Glad to see that there are lots of entries. I want to share my experience with others here as well. Look forward to reading some of the other posts.

Hi Sally! OK I did it. Thank you for the encouragement (in my before and after)

Contest entry with two day to spare!

PS now I can read all the entries...it will be a fun night!

Sally, I'm willing to bet by the end of this contest you'll have double the entries. Thank you for the line up, I've missed reading many and would love to catch up!

Sally- Here is my post: Before Active Rain and Now... How Active Rain Saved My Real Estate Career and More...

Hi Sally...I just would like to say...Thanks !

Cheers, thanks for letting all walk down memory lane.

Finally got to work on this. Here is my entry. Have a great Tuesday!

Lisa: I'll email you this evening....maybe you'll need another reminder lol

Can't seem to make it a link

Here's my entry!

Life Before ActiveRain...And Now! What a Long Strange Trip It's Been!!!

Remember...Keep it fair when judging.....!!!!

Exactly what Craig said! Keep it fair.

Money

Kathleen and Craig: The PAWS group has had contests for the past two and half years and we've had no problems with the judges being fair.

Of that I have no doubt.

All in good fun "Sally". All in good fun.

And, thank you for sponsoring this contest.

I've read a bunch of the entries and your job is going to be a tough one.

Sally, I'm sorry. I didn't actually mean it. I just learned how to put words on top of a pictures by hovering the mouse...and I was completely abusing my new amazing power.

PS I'm only half way through reading the list and so far EVERYONE should win.

Craig and Kathleen...okay...and as always I believe everyone is a winner!

FYI (Everybody)

We have three judges (none of them is me :) and will announce them at the time of announcement of winners. (keeps from you all trying to bribe em lol)

Sally - Well done indeed!

Hey hey hey sister, here's my post:

http://activerain.com/blogsview/1295188/before-active-rain-and-now-staying-alive-during-the-decline

I hope it is enjoyed. It was actually heartfelt and emotional which I try not to be on here. I am not in it to win it but if I do, I might get closer to one of my goals that I have not hit and mentioned

MUHAHAHHAHAHAHA!

Thanks Sally for making me think :)

Renee....oh, I love you! And yes....think think think :) I love thoughts :)
