There must be other people entering, because SOMEONE is winning all these millions, and it's sure not me!For YEARS I have entered this stupid sweepstakes. In the "olden days" if you weren't ordering you'd have to send your entry in on an index card or postcard - I'd read the fine print and follow whatever convoluted directions they gave for "non-orderers". Nowadays you can use the regular entry form, AFTER of course you've found the 16 hidden stamps throughout the 800 pages of things for sale.
If you're not ordering (which I rarely do) they ask you to "please select an offer stamp for the item that interests you most...we'll use this information to better serve you in future mailings." I'm always careful not to pick the knives, or the "Better Sex" DVD or whatever. This time I perused the vast selection of quality items (I'm sure), and I picked the Buxton Genuine Leather Shoulder Bag. I saw it on tv a week or two ago, have you seen it? You can fit like 3,000 things in this organizer bag, and the price isn't bad either, it's like $20 and it's leather (plus S&H, I have no idea how much that is). I was amazed you could fit two water bottles in it. It's not my style, but it's kinda cool. And a safe choice for future advertising! :-)
Well, wish me luck. This particular sweepstakes was for $5,000 a week for life and the prize will be awarded August 27th. I'm going to go mark my calendar now!
(Eye roll)
The question is: why do I feel compelled to fill out the entries every single time?? I'm smart enough to know my chances of winning are slimmer than slim, yet, I MUST fill out the sweepstakes.
The end.

I read each and every comment, and though I don't always get a chance to respond, I enjoy reading (and pondering) what you have to say. Thanks for your 2 cents! :-)
