Photo contest concerns

When the winning entry only gets ten votes I hardly think that their is some big conspiracy going on.

Win Loose Or Draw I enjoy the contest and could give a dam if they Cheat - V_Key and I each have our oun Computers and I can't get her to Vote for Me Sad

If I wind-up in the top Ten I feel I did good.

PS
Some people come on "Line" and Post WHY THEY VOTED the way they did and then the Voting Changes.

Example:
The Voting was going good on one Contest (Fare)
One photo had a BUSH Sticker in the Back Ground!
One member posted that he voted for that photo BECAUSE of that sticker
Suddenly That photo got a flury of votes!
Bush People/ UnderDogs have that need to be right - Bushs Pole went up Here Smile

I expected to see that on the NEWS - Buchers need all the good News they can make-up get Exclamation

But I still ended-up in the Top 10 :Q Shocked

what about a panel to choose?

while most Photos are winners, and the "prize" is only in winning, so if the contest was rigged, then the winner would "know" they didn't really win, and get little satisfaction from the false win....I am sure that the stir it caused has in itself solved the problem....

with that said could we put the "past" conflict behind and move ahead.....so we can all enjoy the great photos.....

and maybe,....then why not post the winning picture on the main page?

BMR if you must know. MY SON, HER DAUGHTER and we have another visitor that drops in ever so often I had forgotten about that is a friend here. HE COMES AND USES MY COMPUTER he works on the farms around here, I did introduce him to this site, at the time I thought it was a welcoming place and having learned alot from you all about different regions. BUT, now I am really wondering . OKAY NOW DOES THAT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ANYONE HAS ABOUT MY HOME?????? GUESS that I have to be the one with an OPEN BOOK!! Gee and to think I was going to get my Dad to look at the site...thinking now why introduce anyone to this site the way you all attack innocent people enjoying it.

PS... oops there is one other that uses my computer that drops in as well...since his computer is broken.

So guess that is actually 6 people that use my computer...hmmmm.

ANYONE ELSE GOING TO OWN UP TO THEIR USERS??

Ok, I'll fess up.........I get Al to help me vote on the photo contest sometimes, but still, between the two (or sometimes three, if Hubby's around, he gets a say in who we vote for) we still only cast one vote. I think one time we've voted for the picture we submitted and that was the only time.

Happy now? Rolling Eyes

I had no idea that I kept anything a secret Confused

. If I am asked I do tell. I know I have mentioned my son before, maybe it wasnt read but I have. No, I would never bring my dad onto a board that I am being attacked on. He is new to the computer, and at 72 he doesnt need any aggrivation, he needs a site that is welcoming. My son doesnt post much..but, yes he has. Trying to remember his nic, it is CB I think. He can tell ya'll on here tomorrow who he is. He is not home a lot, being 19 he tends to have a Social Life. And, yes we hold Kaitlyns typing fingers to a minumum...(Sages daughter). She comes on and reads, and loves to see the horses people have. One thing, is that it seems I am more of an open book than some on here that I KNOW..I am a simple country gal that lives in the sticks. I work a office job that I tend to hate, I am attending college full time to get out of that office job. My dad works about 400 acres, raising cattle and hay. Not as much as a lot of you up North but, it pays his bills and some. My son works with him. Hmmm I will give you whatelse you want. Would you like my Social Security number and Drivers License ??

And red robin...whatever you want to believe go for it.. Wink

.

Thanks BMR

I missed something I think Wink

400 acres is nothing to sniff at. I only lived on 10 acres and city people can't believe we had so much land Exclamation

Welcome all of you, whoever posts or reads, as far as I'm concerned.

There's only ONE of me although my son said he might want to say hello to "mom's ranchers." My friends think I'm a kook with my three sets of cyber friends (widowed, CJD families, and ranchers).

But frankly, down to earth people are the nicest, friendliest, openest -- even with some of your idiosyncrasies, political and otherwise (and I match you idiosyncrasy for idiosyncrasy).

Wish my current guy liked the country but he's from a small farm and has taken to the city (London) after years of city live.
