I'm sure your good buddy Jimmy will spot you a few tickets during your next business meeting on the beach - you know, as a thank you for the career advice you give him.

I kept shortening from about four sentences to two, and then took out a few more words, and it finally took. I didn't have the presence of mind to grab the text before the entry went in, for purposes of word/character count, sorry.

I don't know what I'd have to do to my schedule if I won, but who cares?

I had the same problems. I shortened my submittal, I shortened it even further and left one sentence that was acceptable to them....

I finally got registered. One sentence. The time it finally took it, I had changed an exclamation mark to a period. Who knows. Maybe it is a "random entry" contest!

Did you check the box at the bottom of the page that you read, understand and agree to the rules? I forgot to check it the first time but it went through no problem the second time after I checked it.

I got through right away.

Good luck to all of us!

Had to delete exclamation points and quotation marks, then it went through.

Seems to hate "!" When I switched to a period it worked. Kookie!

Me too! Although, I also had to delete my original "essay" and just write a one liner instead.

I'm in... my essay was a couple paragraphs long, and it took just fine. Keeping the fins crossed!

last nite on Radio margaritaville miles just said to type "ignore" in the box and it would take it. As you see its random so it doesnt really matter whats in the box.

LonePalm1 · Post by **LonePalm1** » March 8, 2007 10:59 am

Winner is annouced today... Pick me, please pick me. I could so pack up and head to warmer temps in a couple weeks.

OttoCal · Post by **OttoCal** » March 8, 2007 2:57 pm

I just checked on Radio Margaritaville and it doesn't appear to have a winner posted.

I hope it is somebody from here!

Best of luck to all of us!
