Exclamation

Lesia - don't you dare get discouraged!!! I saw what you just posted on on AT&T thread and I hope you're just creating that good "whiner" karma, and not seriously getting discouraged!!!

Kim, I was referring to the AT&T site, not DOD! Sorry if it sounded otherwise. I HATE spending all that time at that site and never winning zilch, then finding out that other people win at every stop or every time they play! I refuse to do the AT&T again. However, I will not give up on GNW or the other contests. I just won't do anymore "instant wins"!

Sorry to upset you, but aren't you the one who posted "TAKE ME OFF ALL THE LISTS"!!!

Sometimes when we write things, they just don't come across the same. Thank you for the encouragement. I've just had a very difficult week and I'm down. I'll be better soon! (I hope)!

Do you know, I have sent over 2,000 cards and received (and opened) over 1,000 and have yet to win a mere $25? Yet I refuse to give up hope!!! I may not have any luck, but sometimes freaky things happen, right?

LOL I knew you weren't giving up on DOD, but you just sounded so BUMMED!!! Hey, I haven't won on GNW OR ATT EITHER, but I won on 2 of the other instant win games (the joes coffee & the Warner Bros.) I agree though, that stupid ATT site is really annoying and frustrating (especially when everyone else is winning and I'm sittting there watching stupid Raoul and Lucia figure out how to get to Cleveland and I get nothing.)

I just want you to keep a positive attitude in general - I know that I'm going to be adding you to the Winners List VERY SOON, and if not by the end of this month HEY, on August 1st, WE CAN ALL START AS WHINERS AGAIN!!!

Please don't get discouraged!! I never win at any of the AT&T Instant wins and they have them ALL the time, other people win them over and over.

I know you all will think I'm just plain crazy, but every time I enter a sweep, I figure its one more chance I had than just a moment ago and I just may win it all!

I do the AT&T one every other day so it doesn't get me crazy.

Tongue

Am I the only person who gets really annoyed at Raoul and Lucia? I swear to god, I could WALK to wherever the heck they are going in the time it takes her to look it up on that stupid phone!

And that annoying little song - oh how I hate that annoying little song!!!

Thanks, guys. You've really helped. Kim, I have been bummed out and I'm just letting it get to me in a lot of ways. Sorry. But you know I won't give up on DOD. Yesterday my ISP was down all day and I went to the office to check my email and DOD posts because I was having such DOD withdrawal! Don't know what I would do without my DOD family right now! Yes, I hate those two and that song too. Part of why I won't go back to that site. Want to know the saddest part? I don't even want any of their stinking prizes!! (except the $25,000 of course)! So I finally thought "why am I putting myself through this for something I wouldn't even appreciate if I won?" will reserve my energy for other contests that even though I don't win them either, at least I don't have to watch their stupid promos over and over!

Pip, I will gladly race you! What do you want to bet? Can't be much, because I know you will win!

Tami, I'm sorry to be such a whiner. Actually I'm glad to have the sweepstakes entries to do every day because it takes my mind off problems and does give me some hope.

Actually, I should learn not to post when I'm so down!

Twinkies. If you win anything on GNW before I do, I'll send you a box of Twinkies!

Well, I don't care for Twinkies, but I'll be sending to you anyway, so it doesn't really matter! What flavor do you prefer?

Kim, thank you!!! You gave me some magic dust and I won!


Tami, you are super! Thanks for the encouragement!


Pip, you will win soon! We have to stick together on this "waiting it out thing"!. Thanks for being there for me. By the way, you might want to hold off on sending that almond joy right now. With the heat we are having here, it would just be one big mess by the time I received it! Good luck, girl. I've got my fingers crossed for you!
