      please select one post from your blog and submit...pick the one which you think is your best
    2. lvs
      you can select more than one too, but let it be posts and not the complete blog!

      Oh i think we will keep it at one submission per head, otherwise I may not be able to do this in a reasonable amount of time

      great determination on the part of your mother....but why did she go searching for the contact lens? I am sure she knew it would not be usable any more....your article does not bring that aspect out clearly.

      comments seem to be disabled on your blog

      IVS the year in which I lost my contact lens, that time new contact lens would have taken seven days. I was young, I did not keep and extra pair of contact lens or specks. And how can anyone know that the lost contact lens would break. A mother is always thinks positive for her child. A person goes in space, how can they know that the rocket in which they are going would burst or they land safely. The comment is enabled. Thanks.

      My stupid Wordpress switched all my permalinks to the default. The new link is here: opinionstreams.com/blog/?p=10

      However, I've since written an article that I think is better and want to submit in place of the original. It's here: opinionstreams.com/blog/?p=24. Can I submit this one instead?

      I'd have to give two thumbs up to the Rooster's great explanation of his stealthy spider killin' skills as well!
    2. lvs
      and Tim what skills are you going to brandish here?

      @lvs
      I don't really have anything to submit that is worthy of the contest at the moment. Two of the blogs I write aren't really mine...they are my clients. My own blog is less than a month old and doesn't have much there just yet. I've been too busy working on other people's stuff to get much accomplished there.

      I'll wait for the next contest and perhaps submit at that time. Thanks for asking though.
    4. lvs
      sure will look forward to that
    5. lvs
      thanks for your submissions...i hope your posts are not taken seriously by anyone ha ha had lots of fun reading your posts
  3. lvs

    1. lvs
      thanks for submitting....."made to clean" would have been even more direct and that would certainly have sounded like these maids were some sort of machines made for cleaning.
    1. lvs
      As long as you are offended and not offensive I guess people are okay with that!

    1. lvs

    If you look only at the surface without taking the necessary effort to see beneath, you will indeed come up with such hasty conclusions.

      Anything specific you had wanted me to say about your article?

      Well I must tell you that I read all the submissions some of them twice.

      I dont know why you have taken this comment negatively.

      I liked your article but found that it didnt convey your stated message. Your message was supposed to be "But the main thing is: To have the right idea, to sell the right stuff, to the right audience." The similarity between supermarkets and blogs that you tried to bring out was interesting but by the end a coherence was missing in the story. So you began in one way and by the end the article had lost the plot. But to get back the plot you gave the one line message.

      Anyway you cannot come in with the intention that you must win. You have to be sporting about these things. I hope you will submit again next time.

      I would urge you to read the winning articles, like me I am sure you too will like them.

    Thanks for selecting my blogpost@ 3rd place, lvs. Just wanted to know how many blogpost entries were there in this contest in all? Need this to announce in my next post!
  20. lvs
    There were about 30 submissions that were entered before the 1 aug deadline. Of these 26 or so were valid. So you can say there were 26 valid submissions that I went over to select the top 3.
