Ms. Brenda's Big Giveaway

I've been thinking that I would like to have more comments on my blog. So I would know how wide my readership is. So I could feel really important like the big name bloggers who are making money with their blogs and going on Oprah and getting book deals. I don't really want to go on Oprah, or have ads on my blog, or even have a book deal. I just want comments. So, it seems to me that when those big time bloggers want more comments, they have a giveaway and they give something away to a commenter. So I've been thinking what I could give away.
I have a target with three holes in it.
I have a good recipe for Harvard Beets.
I have a handy guide to Danger Signs in Pigmented Lesions of the Skin.
So if I have a giveaway, it will serve a dual purpose of getting more comments and cleaning off my computer desk. (So I am back to starting a lot of my sentences with so.)
This week's giveaway will be one of the above items. Given away sometime this week to a randomly chosen commenter on this post.
Hurry up and comment. Contest ends soon. Remember--you have to comment to win. Please just leave a little comment. (Comments on how lame this is will not be considered.)

I will raise you three 5 hole targets and throw in a turkey target to 'pattern and sight-in shotguns.'

My 3 youngest took the hunters safety course 2 years ago...it may be to soon to give away that target. It may come in handy someday!

OOOO
PICK ME!!
PICK ME!
I have a spot that needs identified.. I would benefit most from this giveaway.

Abi said...

after some research I found the those who gave a reason for wanting to win often stood a better chance.... although they always say it's randomly chosen... we will see.

Amanda said...

i think that abi is sneaky and trying to win the giveaway by sheer number of comments

Amanda said...

does the winner of the giveaway get to be presented with the prize in person?

Amanda said...

if so i SO want it. (also, this is my own not so secretive ploy to out comment my older sister and win the giveaway)

Spencer said...

you should pick me just because it's me

Samantha said...

you need to pick me

Spencer said...

no you need to pick me!

I refuse to be manipulated into leaving a comment by the promise of some worthless trink.. hey, wait a minute....

Anastasia said...

If the prize is delivered in person, pick me!! Pick Micah too!!

Anastasia said...

Also, Spencer, I love your Profile Pic!

Abi said...

I think he's using it as a sneaky way to get in Miss Brenda's good graces. Just cause you are wearing the tie-dye doesn't mean you win... if it's about the picture, I'll get rid of Jimmy and put Claire up... Pick ME!

Abi said...

Also, since I'm pulling ahead in the comment count, Nancyann if I don't win Miss Brenda's giveaway, where do I need to comment to win the turkey targets? I'm moving to a new place and could use something to put on the walls...

Jill said...

Hey! How about extra points or consideration for me because I'm NOT related to you! You couldn't possibly pick one of your girls over another--that would show favoritism and cause a huge fight among them and a divide in your family that they may never recover from (since your prizes are sooo grand). I have no hidden agenda or motives with my posting...other than to say how much I love your blog and how much I would miss it if you were to ever stop! Miss you....

nancyann said...

Actually, I have no desire to win. I already have more targets with more holes. That makes me the winner already!

Miss Brenda said...

I just wanted to comment and say how happy all these comments made me. But I am afraid I might randomly win and not be able to get rid of anything from my computer desk. So I just want to say addtionally what a lame idea this was, thus disqualifying myself. But seventeen comments--that's a personal blog record for me. Booyah!

'ello.

In a completely unrelated contest, I was randomly chosen to post a comment.
