Why Didn’t I Think Of That Sooner?
November 13th, 2006 . by CaryI posted yesterday, bemoaning the fact that I didn’t have a lot of entries for the Great Big Wonderful Baby Pool.
Then, I had a brief brain storm, and emailed Paul at BlogMad Control: since I was offering BlogMad credits, could he, possibly, give me a bit of a mention on the UCP announcement scroll? I didn’t want to ask him to do anything untoward, so if he couldn’t help out I understood completely, and I would keep trying to drum up interest on my own.
Well. Paul wrote back, after looking over the Great Big Wonderful Baby Pool, and agreed to mention it on the UCP. And on his blog. And kick in another 500 credits to the basic prize. Plus another five credits per entry (which will go into the consolation prize pool). AND, he congratulated me on becoming a new father! How’s that for cool?
Paul, I can’t thank you enough!
So: The first prize is now at 806 BlogMad credits and the consolation amount is at 109 BlogMad credits. Not a bad haul for guessing when our daughter will be born!
Why didn’t I think of that sooner?
God bless you all, Wear Red on Fridays, and get in on the Baby Pool!
All this after I posted on the matter and got at least one person to visit you.
You got me confused with your mention of Paul at Blogmad. I thought, Cary didn’t email me… Then I caught it. The other, more famous Paul –
Hope it takes off now.
May the contest pool grow to bajillions of credits…
“more famous Paul”? Dude, you’re famous with me!
LOL – I have two claims to fame.
One: – I was born in the same year as Rush Limbaugh
Two: I was once shot in the left lung. Same as Ronald Reagan.
(P.S. One day I’ll blogpost on number 2. – Quite a story. I’ll give you a heads up..)
