Just to let everyone know, Jeb and I have decided to not run the contest during this break for a number of reasons, the main one being that it's Thanksgiving! I usually travel to visit family for several days, and I can't ask Jeb and Ronnie to monitor the forum 24/7 for 4 or 5 days.
We had already been discussing this, the goings-on in the forum today had no influence on our decision.
Hopefully, some of you will miss the contest during the break, but realize that we'll come back with renewed vigor during the next break.
Thanks to all of you who participate, we quite enjoy your submissions, guesses, and efforts!
See you in about one season! We'll be needing some submissions then.......

Re: Mixed Names Contest
Have fun at thanks-giving.
If you do just need a hand forum monitoring. I can help out 12 hours a day during that time.
I'm retired/disability so don't get out much or get distracted..
Thanks for running it in the past, and looking forward to the next one whenever it may be.

Re: Mixed Names Contest
Thanks, Tanitha. Your offer is greatly appreciated. However, if you're monitoring the forum, you have to know the answers and then you can't be a contestant. And if we're going through the effort, we need contestants.Tanitha Starlet wrote:Have fun at thanks-giving.

Re: Mixed Names Contest
I'd certainly participate, but you guys do deserve a break. Plus since it falls on Thanksgiving it's a nice chance for a break for you guys. No worries and have fun!
