When I started this blog, I promised myself that I would not break my commitment to post ever MWF, and so far I've kept to that.<br /><br />Oh my goodness! You lost 4 phones?

I have yet to write a blog post from my phone. Perhaps that stems from my penchant to lose them rather frequently. I have lost 4 phones this short year already.<br /><br />Doh!Jeremy Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00877532315856151843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499819998811995494.post-66889101771187141812012-03-24T11:14:03.821-07:002012-03-24T11:14:03.821-07:00I remember thinking that exact thing when I was re...I remember thinking that exact thing when I was reading the comments, that a lot of the No's were probably based on the first person thing.

Yeah, I know *breaking the rules* is a bad thing, which is why I expected a high number of 'no' votes :)<br /><br />One 1 of the 5 winners would I have said 'yes' to.

But I think that some people automatically said no because of the first person.<br /><br />I didn't critique any of them (had no time/forgot since I wasn't chosen), but I would have thumbs-up yours (and thumbs-down a few that were chosen, frankly). <br /><br />^__^R.A.Desiletshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440729149601654745noreply@blogger.com
