After being completely aggravated by my hosting company and the merging of the hosting accounts (which didn’t quite work the way it was supposed to), I had to restore everything on my blog. While I was restoring everything … suddenly my “links” updated and I could see who was saying what about my posts. So I follow them, just to check them out and I come across this post.

Does anyone want to just scream with me now? My blog won the grand prize of $75. So first, I think… well why wasn’t I notified? Is this the only way they notify you? Nope.

Unfortunately, I set up adgitize with an old acct (it was active at the time) that got inundated with spam, and so I quit using it. I went to adgitize and realized there is no way to change your email address.

At any rate, I checked that email acct, and low and behold… here’s what they sent me:

Arrrrrgh!!! Who couldn’t use $75?!?!?! So anyway, I replied to him and then CC’d it to my private email, so we shall see what comes. I am sure it is FAR too late to even get the $$ now. So, now I’m bummed so I am going to go make dinner on my new George Foreman grill and pout in silence. I am not EVEN going to ask what else could go wrong, because I know that it could be much worse.
