Help Me Win a Camera!
WhoGets.com ^

Posted on 05/19/2007 8:50:45 AM PDT by sonsofliberty2000

Hello,

I am a finalists in an online prize contest for a camera at WhoGets.com. The winner is determined by votes on who deserves to get it most. My reason is:

This would be a great gift for my wife for our wedding anniversary on July 4th. Being a college student it is hard to keep the bills paid let along buy nice gifts. We have no camera now and have 2 nephews and a niece plus all sorts of family events that she would love to keep memories of.

So if you can find the time to stop by and help me out it would much appreciated. My id is nickq112 there.

Here is the link:

Thanks, Nick

I have a job and hate to borrow money. Being on this site I am a conservative but everyone likes to win things. I am also a college student with a double concentration in Social Science and English in education. I’m no bum.

Heh! I’ll promise to vote for you if you win! Not sure, however, have anything I can do for you online? Nothing freaky...

I take care of my business on line personally, I buy my own camera's without concern, and well, I can't think of anything that you could do for me in return that I can't take care of myself.

If the camera purchase is a financial issue perhaps a government grant for education in sketching as taught by a carnival sketcher is possible.

I hope my recommendation is worthy of consideration and my efforts in helping you are shown to be an asset to your personal promotion. ; )

“If the camera purchase is a financial issue perhaps a government grant for education in sketching as taught by a carnival sketcher is possible.”

Sadly I think this is part of that new immigration bill...

If you have to make that clear personally, well?

Hi! I'm EGPWS.

THAT simple statement in real time will be considered an immigration issue anymore....

All this over a contest to win a free camera. You must be loads of fun.

By the way, I say that in jest. It is just that I don’t see a correlation between a contest to win a camera and me being a bum.

LOL. You're military, serving in Iraq right now, right? One of my better customers manufactures a nice, lighter weight, ventilated and padded tactical boot sock. I'll send you a half dozen, if you want. Desert Brown, Khaki Green, Black or White, and shoe size. FReepmail me with an address if you're interested.

Was that the sock thread mentioned above? If so that is an outrage. I just came on here to try to get free votes.

I don’t know, since I didn’t see the thread. But, if she needs some socks, I’ll send her six pairs at my own expense.

I'm actually a civilian contractor working alongside our military on a program to train, develop and mentor Iraqi government officials on international marketing practices. (Trying to drag 'em kicking and screaming into the 21st century so that they can re-join the global market.)

See, I posted this thread the other day announcing that I was wearing new socks and described how comfortable they were and how I just wanted to share the joy. I was pinging a few people to it and it was yanked!!

That's what I get for not putting it in Breaking News, I guess. LOL

Thank you for your very sweet offer. Maybe I'll even take you up on it; they sound nice. And then I'll post a thread about it!

Wait a minute here...

Just because I'm presently in a tunnel somewhere between Mexico and Arizona (my GPS shows me to be on track) can't I get some socks?

The ventilation here sucks and I'm not looking forward to taking my sneakers off.

How come the troops in Iraq rate more concern then me?

I thought that “Socks” was Clinton’s cat?

We have kittens. I can FedEx you half a dozen Monday!

It’s a deal.

You might be wearing them anyway, since they’re sold primarily to police, security and military accounts.

My indoctrination didn't "take." I'm just biased that way. To the re-education camps with me!
