Time & Money GIVEAWAY

THIS CONTEST IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNER

Time sure flies when you're having fun! The Fifty Factor blog was born 6 months ago and this is my 100th post! To celebrate this momentous occasion, I'm having my first ever GIVEAWAY!

This is seriously big for me! Never in my wildest dreams did I think I had 100 posts in me. And never, ever, did I imagine, I'd make so many wonderful friends from around the world. My sincere thanks to all of you for your kindness and support these past six months.

Now for the Giveaway. Drumroll please.....

The Fifty Factor Time & Money Giveaway

Enter for a chance to win a $50 Visa Gift Card and this beautiful indoor/outdoor Sunface Clock from Teak, Wicker & More! This way, you can celebrate any way you like and keep track of time-- whether you're sipping martinis by the pool, shopping from home online, or kicking back on your patio furniture with your feet up!

You have three easy ways to enter:

1) Leave a Comment on THIS POST or any of my NEW POSTS between now and August 16th, 2009. Each Comment earns ONE entry per post, per person. The more NEW Posts you Comment on, the more chances you'll have to win!

2) Follow me: That'll earn you THREE additional entries. Leave a separate Follow Comment on this post telling me you're a new Follower or, if you're already a Follower, tell me that too-- Either way, you earn three extra entries (max) for Following.

3) Spread the love and blog about "The Fifty Factor Time & Money Giveaway" on your blog and earn FIVE additional entries. Be sure to leave a separate Spread The Love Comment on this post with a linking URL to your blog post so I add your extra entries! Five additional entries max per person for spreading the love.
The Fifty Factor is having a great Time & Money Giveaway sponsored by Teak, Wicker and More who carries everything from bird baths to patio furniture. Stop by before midnight, August 16th and enter to win!

Got it? Here's the fine print:

--Full Contest ($50 Card and Clock) open only to residents of U.S. and Canada. Entries outside U.S. or Canada ARE eligible ONLY for the $50 Visa Gift Card. Sorry, shipping is just too expensive overseas. If the 1st winner is outside U.S. and Canada, a runner up winner will be drawn for the clock. If that doesn't make sense, please email me.
--Winner will be chosen at random by me. I'm new at this so please cut me some slack if this isn't the way you would do it. All decisions are final.
--Be sure to include a valid email address.
--Anonymous comments will not be considered.
--Comments will close at midnight PST on August 16, 2009. Winner will be announced here, at www.TheFiftyFactor.com on or about August 17, 2009.

So join in the fun and leave lots of comments so you have lots of chances to win the $50 Visa Gift Card and the Sunface Clock!

Good luck and thanks again for 6 great months of blogging support!

    Hi Joanna, Congrats on your 100th post! It's exciting, isn't it? We've been at this just about the same amount of time. While I read you every day (as you know), I didn't officially follow until today. You're one of my morning coffee blogs! I also posted about your giveaway: http://thebacksofmyeyelids.blogspot.com/2009/08/blog-give-away.html

    Normally, I help spread the word about giveaways, but withdraw my name from the drawing because it's not my thing. This, however, IS my thing. So I'm in and I'll be in every morning, as always. :)

    And, if I had a buck for every time I told someone to come check you out, I could buy and sell that clock a gizillion times..(that may not be a real number...)

    Congrats J.J. I'm looking for more adventures and mis-adventures with you.

    1. I am a new follower. You followed me first and I have no idea what the hell I have been missing lo these past few months. I mean honestly, your blog is quite slamming!!

    2. I am leaving a comment to enter the contest.

    3. I will, most likely, click on the hyperlink in one of your recent posts that linked to "the eternal hot flash" or somesuch. Because I work with women who are constantly hot flashing and have the AC cranked to friggin 35 degrees.

    But, it doesn't matter, I am way back in the back section. Which is kind of sad because I am away from everyone. But then again, I GET TWO WINDOWS THAT OPEN!!! And for this, i get fresh air. :)

    A little perspective for you. You and I began our blogs at almost the same time. We are both hitting the century mark. You have 143 followers and I have 20. You should be extremely proud of your success here. You've created something very cool.

    Congratulations!

    1. Again a new follower here.

    2. Leaving a comment to entry again.

    3. There was a CPR inservice today, lasted 3 hours. Then we had a clinic meeting and peer review for us prescribers. My brain is pretty well numb and gone at this point. I can say the clinic meeting got a little contentious when a normally mousey member of the staff had had enough. It was weird hearing him speak up. But, he was calm, coherent and assertive. And I agreed with him. :)

    Which is good because he and I have similair jobs and united we stand and all.

    ok

    back to work!! :)

    You are all so GREAT!!!! Thanks for all your kind words and encouragement.

    To answer a few questions....
    @Lissa-- I'm an organization freak. Keeping track of entries is easy for me :-)

    @Sassy Pants: I read, comment on and follow a ton of blogs. I comment as often as I have something to say. It starts a dialogue and I've gotten to know some great people.

    @Betty-- Vacation starts Thursday- I'll be away for 5 days so I'll catch up and comment when I return. But I will be posting so everyone has lots of chances to enter the giveaway!

    Hi! Me again. I just watched the audition video again to bump up the viewing numbers and I've done that a few times. But I thought the numbers would be higher than they are - or am I being unrealistic?
    Your 100th is proving to be quite a hit! Way to go!

    Congrats on 100th. Got my first computer in 1998 when my 2 sons brought a big clunky old thing and plopped it down on my kitchen table as I didn't have a desk then. Lost count of how many posts I have made at various sites over those 11 years but passed 100 a long time ago. Of course blogging was still a bit of a way off back then but still lots of places to post. Sweeps like this barely existed. Dial-up was still the most available service and can still remember the frustrations waitig for a page to load. Grew many a grey hair waiting. Ha! Ha! Was fifty 23 years ago and still going strong and wonder how I ever got along without this contraption that I have sworn at so many times and it still forgives me.
