Pay It Forward - Blogging Style!

A few days before Christmas I was stumbling around the blogosphere and happened on a blog called Binary Blonde and an article she had written Pay It Forward. I was inspired by the article and commented about it not expecting to be in the "3." I thought it was a great idea and originally was going to post about it at Christmas. I then decided to wait until New Year's Day and start the year off right by spreading some goodwill. Well as it turns out I was in the 3 and have been the recipient of Binary Blonde's Pay It Forward kindness, and so I want to say a heartfelt thanks to her for the article she wrote and for whatever I may be receiving in the coming days. Here is how this concept works.

The first three (3) lucky people to comment on this post will receive a gift from me in the mail. The only thing you have to do in return is post the same concept on your blog and send three (3) people (best if they're[sic] strangers) a gift from you. As far as I know, there aren’t any rules as to when you write your post and how much you spend on the gift. Some people are sending homemade items, and some are purchasing theirs. It doesn’t really matter what you send. Though, as a rule of thumb, I would send something you might like to receive yourself.

The only thing I would add is that you in your post you include a link back to the blog you got the idea from as a further token of goodwill. As she did, I promise to those 3 people that comment that I will research your blog and choose something that I feel would be appropriate for you. I won't be doing anything homemade, I'm not crafty in any way, so I will be choosing something from either an off or online store.

One last thing, If I know you in real life, you aren’t eligible for a gift if you comment. Though I think this is a great concept and think you should post about it anyway.

So who is in?

Well I sincerely wish you all a Blessed, Prosperous, and Happy New Year!

later all and have a profitable and productive blogging day

What the F Does the C Stand 4

I know all of you have been waiting with baited breathe for my first contest. Well we are taking the plunge together. Here is the chance for all of you to win something for doing almost nothing. Hopefully you won't think this Contest is full of Sh-t . For many many years I have had the "nickname," I guess you could call it, of Cman. Here lately, probably due in part to #10 in my 10 Reasons John Chow Probably Thinks This Blog Is About Him article, I have been getting asked more and more what the C in Cman stands for. Herein lays the focus of this contest. For the person who can guess what the C in Cman stands for I will give them $100. If multiple people guess correctly the winner will be chosen by random drawing from among the correct entries. If no one guesses correctly I will randomly pick from all entries and will award the winner of the losers $20. Clarification: 1. In the words of Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez, "There can be only One." Winner that is. E

The Stripping Aristologist Contest Winner

Well as you can see from the above screen capture the winning entry is #5. Heading over to the contest post and looking through the comments and the trackbacks I found that Anton of Link Right Contests was entry #5 with his guess of Julia Child. The actual answer was incorrect so he won the $50 but not the bonus prize. I was a bit generous to 2 entries that commented and entered but did not give the link. I had to search their blog to find the answer. There were several that commented and gave a link to their blog but I could not find a post about the contest or any links back to this blog. Anywho....Congrats to Anton and thank you all so much for reading and taking the time to interact with this blog and really make it what it is. Oh and Anton you might want to consider some kind of Contact Me link for your blog. Other than trackback to your post and a comment I have no way to contact you regarding your winning entry. Having a Contact Me is one of the first things any blogger should
