FINALLY got some of the money that my employer owes me (long story), so the PP has been sent. Hope I put my username in the right place. I'm pleased as punch to give a little something back to the place that has given me the tremendous amount of information to help me improve my craft over the past several months.

Rick,

Got it. It came as an E-check, so it may take 3-4 days to show as gone from your account.

Thanks for participating!

About 3 Hours Left

I am not going to update names for the rest of the evening. Rest assured everyone will be in the drawing.

As a reminder, tomorrow I will print out the list of member names and assign each name the number of tickets bought, starting with 1 and ending with the total number of tickets. I will then use an online random number generator to choose the winners in the order in which the prizes are listed. Will I do that tonight? HMM, LSU and NASCAR are on tonight..... no prizes for guessing the answer to that one.

Current total $2035.00!!!

Now for some housekeeping. If you feel that your name is not on the list and that it should be, please send me a copy of your PayPal invoice to that I can trace it and see what happened. If you have a PayPal invoice made out to the correct address/account that is dated before the event closed, I will add you to the list.

If there are no additions and/or problems, when I drag my lazy butt out of bed I will start on the drawing.

Thank you to you all! Without the absolutely amazing support by donors, ticket buyers and those of you that both donated and bought tickets, this event would have fizzled. It is this spirit that makes the IAP an Internet home to so very many of us.

Very well said Cav!!! My heart felt thanks to you all! This was an amazing raffle and could not have been done without any of you!!!

 

[VisExp]

Thanks to everyone who brought a ticket or donated a prize!!

And a special thanks to Cav for running the raffle!!

 

[GoodTurns]

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP (The sound of Cav's alarm clock being ignored :biggrin

 

[mredburn]

Have I won yet?

 

[wdcav1952]

Hi, Guys and Gals,

I have been handling a few communications as to computer glitches and such. I seem to have all of them in line now.

I also am doing a phone consult with an old friend with dental problems. By the way, I don't mind doing so and have discussed dental issues with many friends over the years.

I will update the totals in the post above, and once I get off the phone will get the drawing underway.

Lastly, thanks to Jon for being my alarm clock! :biggrin:

 

[DurocShark]

We're just giving you grief. Don't worry about rushing to get this done.

 

[nava1uni]

Not done yet? LOL I got up at 6:00 to see who had won. A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THE RAFFLE!!! :biggrin:This an amazing group of people who come together to make IAP work.

 

[wdcav1952]

No Problem

No offense taken, Don.

I have gotten bitten by the HoneyDew bug this morning. Also, since my totally messy son is not home, I am the sounding board for what should be yelled at him! :frown:

Now, seriously:

I WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT ENTRIES FROM THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE A NAME IN THEIR PROFILE!!

When you look at the number of entries in this raffle and understand that for details I have to examine the details of each PayPal entry one at a time, you can see that matching up the PayPal details to make sure each person gets the correct number of tickets is a royal pain in the old keister! I am working on it, but when someone uses a paypal under one name, has no name at all in their profile and all I have is a user name I have to look up one at at time, hoping the PayPal didn't time me out you can see that it takes time.

I will amend the Activities rules to require a name for entry in contests.

 

[GoodTurns]

Lastly, thanks to Jon for being my alarm clock! :biggrin:

I gotta be good for something!

 

[Rollerbob]

To Cav, all the donors and givers...............you are an amazing bunch and I am proud to be part of it.................whether you want me or not!!:wink:

 

[ESwindell]

William,
I am so sorry, ALL of the money sent with out the IAP names are mine (regardless of the email address) it must have slipped my mind when I was so excited to get my tickets and win ;-)
As many others have already stated, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for taking the time to run this.
To All:
Remember even if you, or I[] don't win one of the prizes we all win because of this awesome site that is such an unbelievable wellspring of knowledge.
God Bless,
Eric

Cav, great job, now go rest on the recliner, put your feet up root for your Tigers because in 4 weeks the Gators come to town ..Chomp,Chomp!

 

[Rick_G]

You done good Cav. I would have said great but my name is still among the majority a loser. :frown::biggrin: Oh well the money is going for a great cause and one I don't mind losing for a couple times a year. The information I have gleaned from the people here is priceless. Oh congrats to those who did win, and thanks to those that donated.
