This is the last month you will have me as any competition in the drawing. Win or loose I will no longer enter the drawing. That will increase everyone’s chances by a factor of 1.
Good luck everyone!
Sorry Buddy - unless you don’t ever log in again, you’re in.
“You qualify for one ticket (Membership) just for completing the BB login process.”
And you WILL log in again! Don’t make me come over there…

The Monthly Drawing is one of the ways that LF and JC have of indicating how many people use the site to potential sponsors. Keep signing up, its good for the site.
Eric
I have registered for almost every monthly drawing since this site’s inception and have a perfect 12 year streak of not being selected 
I don’t really expect to win. I continue to register, figuring it provides useful feedback, and heck, my name might even be drawn sometime.
Hopefully others will follow your lead.
Eric,
What’s up? Don’t be pulling out. First the photo group and now this. At least stay with the drawing. It’s free and JC and the LF have worked hard to have sponsors give up some neat stuff for us.
This has absolutely nothing to do with winning or not winning. That would make me a whiner, sore looser and poor sport all of which I intensely detest. It is a choice for personal reasons that I do not feel comfortable revealing at this time. I do not condemn nor do I condone the drawing or anyone who participates in it.
Just wishing all of you the best of luck with it.
If upon some wild, wierd quirk of fate I happened to win the drawing, you’d have to have someone come and scrape me off the floor. My lifetime average for winning things hovers near zero, and I think it affects those around me in opposite ways. Last year at a fly tying expo, one gal at our table won a nice fly rod, a reel, and a couple of other items that I can’t recall. I’m ready to win now folks. Get your scrapers ready!!
I’m with you Lew.
Can I have Eric’s slot too! I never ever ever win anything:p
Just thought what the heck it never hurts to ask…:rolleyes:
Steve,
I will make you a deal. From one Official member of the Unofficial “Grandsons of the Bessemer & Lake Erie Railroad Club” to another member if I win you will get the prize.
By the way, Amy took my older Pentax K110D out for her first ever DSLR photo shoot last week. She took some photos on our walk to get the mail. She thought of you in particular when she saw how this shot turned out. She loves your work and wanted you to have the shot:
All I did was give her a few pointers and turn her loose. My K110D is now off of the market. I have lost the camera as Amy has laid claim to it.
Nice Picture
Eric
Thanks Amy… I am truly touched by the two of you!
Steve
My memory may be wrong. My mind has failed me many times this past couple of years. BUT…seems I read you have tickets just for registering…BUT THEY ARE NOT ENTERED FOR YOU AUTOMATICALLY ANYMORE. I “think” if you do not go there and enter your tickets each month…you will NOT be in on the drawing for that month.
I dunno…maybe…maybe not. Seems like what I read though.
Eric,
I’m up late as we were in Columbus for a Great Nephew’s First Communion, but I’ll talk to you tonight.
Mike
Gemrods right, you have to enter your tickets each month. If you’ve completed the surveys all you have to do is push the enter completed button and there you go. I know the odds are great, but better than the Idaho Lottery.
Kelly.
why do you have to complete the surveys month after month with the same answer month after month???
this baffles me (along with string theory & quantum physics, but thats another story) 
You don’t have to fill out the surveys. Once they are filled out you just have to enter your chances.
Ya don’t have to fill them out (complete) every month. Ya do have to ‘ENTER’ them each month
I enter every month and still NOTHING!
