Contest Question

Hello Team PartyPOP: )

Just a quick question..... I know we have all asked a million times already(ha!) but I want to be certain exactly what day is the last day to vote and what time the actual voting will 'cut off'.......?


Thanks!

Hiya Keri! Sorry I haven't had a chance to reply to your last e-mail message... I have been swamped with work (I work for Scrooge!). Anyway, if I remember correctly, the voting will close on 02-Jan-01at midnight Pacific Time. PartyPOP will then make the final decision on who the winner is by 05-Jan-01 with the winner being notified by 06-Jan-01. I looked down at an old message and got this information directly from one of PartyPOP's previous posts.

Well... I had better get to some of these other posts before I have to get back to work! (Ten minutes ago *wink*)

Thanks for the help!:)

I do remember that post now but I just thought I would be certain of the date so I know when to start pacing...LOL....

Keri, you don't need to pace, you're doing a great cheating job already.

Susan,

I have a hard time believing that Keri is cheating. I know she has friends and family voting for her, and my friends and family are voting for her as well. If she were cheating PartyPOP would certainly disqualify her (as they did Beverly before).

Happy Holidays, and have a safe and happy New Year :-)

I wasn't going to reply to this post but I just have to. Susan maybe if you weren't such a wicked little person you'd have more friends that were willing to come in and vote for you. Grow up and act like a dignified human being. Throwing insults isn't going to get you any where...Give it a rest already..

Wow....

What a great thing to wake up to on the Eve of Christmas...(ha!) ..but I am taking this comment with a grain of salt and refuse to get angry on my favorite holiday of the year. Anyway, I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. I mean everyone whose score gets high enough gets called a cheater. I personally would not stoop that low.

I would like to say Thank you to Leah for the sweet comments (Oh and by the way, what the heck do you mean your friends and family are voting for ME ..?? : )
Well no matter...((hugs)) to you and thank you again...

Oh and to 'PartyQueen' I love the "name" ..lol....

HAPPY Holidays everyone!!

Hey Queenie. Get real. I'm not part of this charade. I'm no more than a bystander enjoying all you witches cringe in hopes to win a contest that doesn't actually exist. Oh, of course they will give out a ficticious name of a winner, but actually you've all been duped.

Hi,good luck to all entrants. I am writing this message because I just want to set the record straight. I have known Keri H. For quite some time and if there is one thing that Keri is NOT, she is by all means, NOT a cheater. She infact is probably one of the most honest and sincere person, i have ever met. She has always been way more then fair, and has always had a heart as big as the sky. She would never take any thing,from any one that did not belong to her. Just because her score is one of the higher ones, some people, just assume she must be cheating. This is not Keri. Thank you for letting me, set the record straight. Sheryl D.

Keri, Keri, Keri... You absolutely amaze me sometimes *haha* Good for you! I'm glad you don't get mad.

You asked why my family and friends are voting for you. Well, as I mentioned before, I don't think that there is a snowball's chance in Arizona that I'll be winning this thing, so I directed a few people to your story instead and told them what a fabulous person you are :-) and I asked them to vote for you, honestly, not a "1" just because you aren't me (which my little bro had {past tense} been doing to a few people). I, personally, think your story rocks :-)

So anyway, I, along with Sheryl D., have no doubt about your honesty!

Have a lovely week!

Sheryl D. And Leah----

((((hugs to you))))...Thank you so much for the words of support and encouragement. Its really a nice feeling to have people not only 'stick up for you' but believe in you.....(and reading such beautiful sweet things about myself didn't feel too bad either..ha!).
Thank you both so much......

PS to Leah----

Your story Rocks, too....*wink*...at least in my humble opinion. And I want you to know that you truly touched me when you said you had people vote for me. Not because it gave me "points" or got me closer to winning...but because it was such a selflass act of kindness . Win or Lose--- Thank you for the votes but more importantly thank you for having such a big heart.

Hugs to you, too Keri. I am very proud of you for taking the rude comments, with so much grace. It only proves what a beautiful person you truly are, inside and out. It sounds like you have met a friend here , at partypop that has alot of your same qualities(A Big Heart and above all honesty, and admiration) Yes Leah, I am talking about you. Good Luck and have fun. Sheryl D.

Susan,

What's the matter...Santa didn't bring you what you wanted? I think that you are a pretty IGNORANT person who isn't part of the "charade" because no one WANTS to marry you.

You don't know Keri, so how can you accuse her of cheating? And as far as your comment goes about us "witches" , Witches are GREEN Susan.......just like you are.....GREEN with envy!!!!!!!!!!


Keri.....Chin up ..... You're doing GREAT!!!!!

Thanks again Sheryl..*smile*...and yes I would say I have made a friend here at partypop...a couple actually: ) (by the way you're going to make my head swell with all the nice things you keep saying about me...gonna need a bigger hat...LOL)

And to Diane---- ((hugs)).... I've missed you on the board recently....Leah and I were getting bored with just ourselves to chat with...LOL.... And Thank you so much for the encouragement !! I really appreciate it..*smile*....I have met some nice people here and I really mean it when I say that this contest has been a blast---Win or Lose .

By the way...I just read your story again and that is such a neat idea with the Mardi Gras theme. My fiance is from Mississippi originally and has family in New Orleans area who go to Mardi Gras almost every year. They love it! And its such an exciting feeling to it that I think your guests will have a really fun time.

Have a good one!

Keri,
You are such a ray of sunshine! *Smile*
You have a chat room? How about sharing the URL, I'd love to be able to chat with such *nice* people!

Heya Clem: )

Thanks for the compliment....I try to be positive but I am not always a 'ray of sunshine'...*grin*....(ask my fiance'...LOL) But truly...thanks for the sweet words.
By the way I haven't seen you post on the message board before so let me say welcome to you and hopefully we will 'read' each other again.

Oh! and as for the chat...It wasn't *my* chat that Paul and I met in but one that my aunt (and his brother) directed each of us to. That chatroom no longer exists but the people who became friends there (for the most part) still stay in contact. At the moment, there really isn't an open chat room that I can direct you to (there is a place but its under construction right now). I will try to let you know when we have a place,though:)

Are you back in the MOOD yet....I just booked the photographer and signed up for the marriage meetings.....the ball is definately rolling....LOL haha.

Diane, we missed you! Anyway, I had my maid-of-honor over for Christmas dinner and putting that dress back on did get me back in the mood! We sat and put together little (home-made) potpourri sachets for a few hours (will be going in favor boxes) and then we assembeled some more of my invites. I really needed the time off!

My bridesmaids are all slacking on ordering their gowns... I don't think I've heard from one of them for about a month now (*grumble*). I've now gotten to the point that I'm not going to let them ruin this for me! I'm going to make this day perfect gosh darnit! *haha*

I'm so glad to hear you've got things rolling on your end! How fun! I definitely recommend keeping a journal! It's so fun to look back and get your initial reactions to things :-)

Talk to you soon!

Hey Diane, if there's anything I can do to help you from here I'd love to! These are the latest "projects" I've been tackling... I ordered (for my thank you's) some note cards that we can stick photo's in for close friends and family as well as the wedding party... I got extras just in case (50 for $50). I'm thrilled with them! They're even personalized with our names! I'm also looking into having a classical guitar soloist play my ceremony instead of the hand bell choir. For just about an extra $100 I can also have another guitarist, a flutist or a violinist... But we haven't determined if that is in the budget yet :-) We're still waiting for a few other things to pan out.

Susan, I'm sorry if you think that just because we are looking forward to our upcoming weddings that we "need a life." I actually have a life and I'm very happy with it. I also enjoy talking to other brides rather than bore my friends and family with "wedding issues." You aren't being forced to read our comments, perhaps you are the one in NEED of a life.
