2nd Annual Calendar Contest Voting Thread! [Scroll down to read the rules!]

[George]

Well that was a very hard choice to make but now it is done! I would like to thank all those who voted for my beautiful Georgie - thank you!

Could I just add that photos 40 & 64 are the same so probably need their votes combined.

Well done everyone and good luck to all partcipants! x

I don't think Bob's picture is blurry at all, and I am looking forward to seeing his "emotive" face on my wall for an entire month next year!

So--I'm not going to whine again about the 5 votes instead of 13, though I am still wondering why that is and no one has explained it to me. And, whining aside, I do want to commend Josh for administering this contest, which I know requires no small amount of work on your part to put it all together.

Now, I am anxious to buy my 2010 calendar so I can start filling it with subbing dates, appointments, etc, so my question is: about how long till you tally, design, order and receive the finished product so I can order mine and get it up on my wall?

Josh is aware of this, but it can't be changed right now. It will all work out in the end.

What I have trouble understanding is why some pictures have "0" votes. Didn't the picture's submitter have enough faith in their own picture to vote for it?

Yvonne

Maybe they felt bad voting for their own picture so they voted for other people?

I didn't vote for my own either. There are so many great photos! I had a hard time narrowing it down to only 5 and didn't want to waste one just to vote for myself .

Sad face for me--prolly won't make the calender.

I feel the same way, everybody talks about how much they like Bob, but then he just gets a few votes? That kind of hurts, then somebody is complaining about the blurry pictures, I'm way sorry about that....but I had to borrow a camera to get a picture that was bigger then the 6mp and I only had a few minutes to take the picture. Mostly it's blurry because it's a picture of a Sulcata catching a thrown strawberry. Can you throw a strawberry at YOUR tortoise and get a picture of him catching it? I don't think so...I personally think that's kind of a rare thing, and how sad that it won't make the calendar...

Maggie, I don't think the blurry comment was directed toward your photo of Bob. I believe Bob is the most talented tortoise we've had on the forum - catching a strawberry and getting it in a pic was quite a feat! BTW: I love his pic, Bob always gets my vote.

Meg - just curious to know when you post "prolly" do you mean "probably"? I thought your photo was a very special one too.

I'm not Meg, but that's exactly what she means and I say it that way also...
Thanks for voting for Bob and the nice comments you have made about him. I have 27 chelonia and Bob by far has the biggest personality. He really is full of IT!!!

Maggie: Thanks for clarifying - thought maybe I was missing something and wanted to be sure I was understanding.

I do that kind of thing all the time! Type things the "slang" way I say them. If you ever see me time Imma it means "I'm going to"

As in, Imma go frosting my goddaughters bday cake when I am done typing this!

I thought Novalee's little tongue would get more votes.

Hi...Since you can have only 13 pages, I suggest putting the ones who didn't make the top 12 on the front page in a collage.
