Today is the...
Today is the day! No more waiting around for this contest to start; it officially starts now and runs through 7/18/20 and entries close at 10:00PM Texas time that night.
As much as I hate rules there has to be a few and you just read the first one, when the contest ends. Now here are a few more:
Contest Rules:
1.) Entries must be submitted as a “reply” to this contest announcement only.
2.) Multiple entries allowed but limited to one entry per day per HIVE registered account.
3.) Prizes: 1st place $25__ 2nd place $15__ 3rd place $10 (Prizes awarded in the form of HIVE)
4.) Sult N Papper reserves the right to alter the rules (but not likely) and will decide the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd
place winners
5.) Bonus Prize: The entry with the most up-votes will win the “People’s Choice Award” of $10 HIVE
.
6.) In the event that a same quote is entered by more than one person the earliest entry will be recognized as a valid entry.
So now you...
So now you know the rules and here is what the subject matter is that your entry needs to be; a “quote” .
A quote you believe to be worth submitting that can easily be found on the internet via some search type engine. The person quoted doesn’t necessarily have to be famous or a political figure or an athlete but quotes from those types of people are most easily accessible.
I will be...
I will be deciding the winners and I’ll give you tip. I’m doing this contest for me not you; I plan on using more quotes in my Dashes going forward and want a stock pile of quotes easily accessible to me in one place. Those of you who read the Dash regularly should have a pretty good idea of what quotes would fit my writing.
Right now I've...
Right now I’ve got other business to attend to; like the usual Saturday HIVE Giveaway. This week’s winners are ,
, and
.
wrote a great piece about 10 or so days ago that I fully agree with and I missed it when it was within the “earnings period” so in support of his post I’ve selected him this week as a winner. Keep telling it like it is buddy and drop by the poker tables more often.
popped up this week around the Dash and after a couple of “back and forth” comments it seems we are of the same opinion on a lot of things. But that isn’t necessarily why he won; I select folks who disagree with me quite often as winners. He has been selected for his song writing and sharing his message via music and lyrics. I really like that approach but you won’t be seeing me going down that road anytime soon. I couldn’t carry a tune if they put it in a paper sack and tied it shut for me to carry it.
Last but not least is and she just seems “precious” to me and I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels that way about her. She made one comment, on a reply that I made to one of
*‘s blog posts. From that one comment I knew pretty much; enough to deem her as “precious”.
For those of you in the south I don’t mean ‘precious’ as in “bless her heart” precious either. I mean it in the purest sense of the word. Her and I have been on “opposite sides of the same fence” before and can appreciate having been there; same goes for Tom too.
Okay, this is...
Okay, this is usually where I end on Saturdays but I do need to update a couple things. The gambling trip for the wife and son went off without any hitches and he managed to come back a winner from his first gambling trip.
Today the girls are headed out with our friend Pattie and her granddaughter Peyton to celebrate Peyton’s 12th birthday. I swear Daisy and Pattie must read the Dash and just won’t admit it; of all the places to go (despite the shutdowns) they are headed to Cut and Shoot*, Texas to visit the East Texas Elephant Experience. I can’t wait to hear if they get a glimpse of Dumbo flying.
Also on Friday, I had the pleasure of meeting a naked faced young man at Eva’s Taco Stand. I struck up a conversation with him and commended him for not having a mask on. We visited for maybe six or seven minutes inside and another four or five outside about just how screwed up things are here in Texas and the US.
I mentioned to him that I write a blog and it turns out he used to be on FIRED but left some time ago. He wasn’t aware of the HIVE fork so I briefly filled him in. He said he was going to check HIVE out and I told him how to find me, I hope he does make his way by here and drops a comment in the future.
The county judge and the governor would have a heart attack (wishful thinking) had they seen what happened as we parted ways, we shook each others hand.
Until next time,
Sult
FYI: *Cut and Shoot is the real name of the town, population around 1,350 people.
* also receives $1.00 HIVE for his mention today
