(just so you know, I have added 256 megs of RAM to my PC and re-enabled the NIC (but have no driver Working on that), and am having some real problems with it. Until I get the bugs worked out, I might be slow to get anything posted.
I am sorry that I posted this before I was sure my computer would be working correctly. But just so you know, I started uploading 3 jpgs about an hour and a half ago, and they are still transferring to Photobucket.
So, though I may get a few more dings, I am going to hold off until I can put all the cards on the table. Sorry for the delay, but trust me, the contest will be run, I just have a few serious issues to deal with so I can give it my full attention. (see below if you care to know)
------------------------------------------------------------
The reason for the system upgrade is that I have been accepted as a Correspondent to run a site about cigars. This is a major challenge for me, so I need my computer to be cooperative. I hope I can be up to the task, and I will tell you guys about it (IF) when it goes live.
I have also started a Cigar accessory cottage industry (manufacturing), and am trying to get that going, but as I expected, problems arose there as well. Bugs to work out. Tools to Upgrade etc... Some of the items are to be made of Stone, and some of wood. The work is going to be done by hand. I have about 2 hours so far in an ashtray, and I may have to scrap it due to cracks, but maybe not.
I have also started a Blog dealing with my Cigar Hobby and My love of coffee. I will be using that blog in conjunction with the new sita as well. But I have never blogged before, so another learning curve.
Basically I have become very busy doing things I hope to make some $ at, but I have a lot of work to do, in order to earn some. That being said. I also decided that my hand made goods were not a sufficient prize for a contest here where I owe so many, so much. So I have also placed an order and will have a respectable prize to offer when it comes to fruition.
If you have read this far, then thank you for sticking with me. My life is going through some positive changes and I will be stronger and better for them.
Now, I need to get back to work, I have some debts to pay. I will get back to you guys with this as soon as I get my PC Bugs worked out. Those darn pictures are still uploading, and if you knew how slow I type, well, there ya go.
Thanks guys, I will repost the contest when I actually have my ducks in a row. Again, sorry for the delay, I was truly hoping to post the whole thing today.
