| I was thinking that there was some other contest that was ending the same time as Ron's Booh contest...to be announced 3/16/09. But I can't remember what it was? Anybody help me remember?? (yeah, yeah... I'm getting old, too!) | |

| Good point. But I like that it lasts sooo long....perhaps several others will have lost interest in the contest by then...fewer of us hanging around....better opportunity to win?! | |

| Good point too . There was a hint of another membership drive contest in a mail from Tina a while back but it has not materialized yet to my knowledge. There was only supposed to be two contests for 2009, we are already up to 4 cruises plus a couple of smaller ones. It is hard to keep up for an old guy. | |

| LOL It's more of a speed contest....and luck if you happen to be lurking around whenever Tina posts the clue. I'm glad that she posts at different times, tho... makes it more interesting. | |

Tony - forgive me if I have asked before (and forgot) but are you at work - if so, what do you do? or are you pleasantly retired?? I thought you were not around on Tuesday , I agree with Pat you shouldn't sit it out because you won this week ! I will be on vacation in two weeks time near Charleston actually . Might go to the hauned restaurant. Yes I am at work , I don't go on the computer much at home since I sit infront of it all virtually all day. I work in Aerospace as an Engineer at Bombardier in Montreal. We are the third largest maker of commercial aircraft in the world after Boeing and Airbus. | |

We are the third largest maker of commercial aircraft in the world after Boeing and Airbus. Wow - Cool job! SO, do you get a discounted rate to fly on any of the planes you helped to design? Think that would be fun! I did some work -many, many years ago - at General Electric - creating and installing the wire harnessing for airplane control panels. That was on a government contract...boy did we have to go through all this security clearance stuff then! I agree with you about being on computer all day at work, and not so much at home. | |

No we don't get any reduced airfares Yeah working on Military planes does have extra constraints. | |
