I think I was in the Valentines one, and didn’t win, so, yes, please… (Which would be a stupid waste of bandwidth and storage and time, except my real reason for writing is…thank you! Even if I don’t win…thank you for the chance!) ---

Done! 🙂 As an update, folk, currently we have 18 entrants. This includes the people who din’t win the last couple of times we did this, and as I wrote earlier, I’ll keep the paper slips of folks who will not have won (future perfect, right?;)) this go around so they don’t have to re-enter. Fair? As a reminder, we’ll do the drawing Sunday, April 8th at 7pm ET and we’ll accept entries right up until 5 minutes before that. I just thought of something: the odds of y’all winning this thing are better than the odds of you winning tomorrow night’s Power Ball! 😉 Quasi ---

20 is a lucky number 🙂 As to my nick, I was dead for about 7 minutes during routine surgery. I didn’t know about it until I was told. I felt cheated, I didn’t float in the air seeing my body, I didn’t walk in the dark towards the light with loved ones calling me and pets trying to trip me. Nothing cool like the movies show. I use it for an excuse when I do boneheaded stuff. “Well…not only did I get dropped on my head as a kid, I was also flatlined a couple of years ago.” Hey…do you know what happens when you take LSD and the birth control pill? You go on a trip without the kids. (I meant to post that in your joke thread, but rl happened and I didn’t get back to you.) ---

HAHAHAHA! Thanks for the joke, but thanks also for still being here. I don’t think they’ve got all the “bugs” worked out of that light thing yet, my friend. Else, why do they keep sending us back? Good luck! Quasi PS: And remember,: You don’t win this time, your entry stays in the hat till NEXT time! 53 minutes!!! ---
