It's been a great series of Top 10s, full of amazing acceptance speeches and a little ruckus from some wild ex Guns n' Roses members but all in all a grand time. Be sure to check out the earlier Pro to Pro and Pro to Consumer editions if you haven't already, you don't want to be left out in the 'Rain....literally! Ha! Who writes this stuff?!?!
Ladies, I see we took a more casual look tonight, looking very lovely. Gentlemen, looking fly as always. Somebody please tell Snoop Dogg to chill, it's time to start the show.

I did not realize there was a top ten list. With all the posts out there it is quite impressive to be among the top 10.
CONGRATS! Ms. B....(This isn't my favorite of all your posts...you know that mine would probably have an old house in it...ha!) I would have put you higher on the list too! But, WAY TO GO! Put Searcy on the map! That's our Ms. Barbara!
I tried twice to share on facebook...gave up...not really...just pasted the site...nothing like going in the back door!
Connecticut Home Mortgate, neither did I. I get a notice from activerain and I'm glad they notified me.
Debbie, the post is absolutely amazing to have had so many lookers. Who goes on line and asks for the biggest private residence in the world? Perhaps they search the owner's name and it pops up. I just don't get it! Thanks for trying to share it on facebook.
