Holy Cow! I go out of town for 1 day and...

I come back to a mutany! *haha* First off I just want to say that I adore Diane and Keri! I have been visiting this board for a few months now and those two are two people that I know always speak their mind and do it in a tactful way. They are two very honest people and anything they say, I believe, can be taken whole heartedly.

Now, just a short little blurb on this... I agree with the Hummer wedding comments started by Jane. I'm not going to sink to the Hummer Bride's level and start down grading her story and dreams though.

About PartyPop: I do not believe, in my heart, that this contest is rigged. For starters, from my experience, the PartyPop Team has done everything they can to try and keep this contest fair. Speaking mathematically, the more votes a story has the less impact each vote starts to have on the score. So if the Hummer Bride has 800 scores of "10," each score of "1" will not affect her score as much as it would a story that only had 80 scores of "10." You know what I mean? Knowing that PartyPop will be picking the winner, and not the public, makes me feel much better about the whole thing. I do, however, believe they should remove the scores from public view.

Regarding sharing the prize: IN A HEARTBEAT! Should, by some fat chance, I actually win this sucker, that will be one of my very first questions!

Okay kids! Have a lovely weekend and keep your chin up!

Thank you so much for the kind words...*smile*

I really appreciate it. Coming to this board and sharing back and forth...reading the stories.etc...has been a highlight of the last couple of months...not to mention the excitement that has built in anticipation of knowing who won. I feel very bad that we are all "arguing" now....I truly hope that we can settle some of it quickly....
