That was sweet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only random contest I did win was for some gorgeous speakers that Kim Komando gave away on her yearly giveaway week. I was the LAST caller of the entire giveaway; it was, like, a miracle! Unfortunately I didn&amp;#39;t need the speakers. So I sold them for $250! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I enter every year to win a home makeover, with various organizations, and never win. :( That&amp;#39;s real sad. I don&amp;#39;t need speakers, but I sure do need a new kitchen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&amp;#39;s hoping Murphy&amp;#39;s Law kicks in for both of us!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3195226836248130687/2971673166356547449/comments/default/5626334200854787067'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3195226836248130687/2971673166356547449/comments/default/5626334200854787067'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.carolesthoughtfulspot.com/2009/11/rant-i-am-tired-of-contests-surveys.html?showComment=1258821375812#c5626334200854787067' title=''/><author><name>Rebecca</name><uri>http://freakyfrugalite.com</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.carolesthoughtfulspot.com/2009/11/rant-i-am-tired-of-contests-surveys.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195226836248130687.post-2971673166356547449' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3195226836248130687/posts/default/2971673166356547449' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-2134695773'/></entry></feed>
