As for being addicted to the computer, heck, I used to grouse at my husband for being on the computer all the time, and not paying attention to me...and now I'm on the computer all the time! (He is, too, when he's not playing video games. lol.) So we're all addicts together! <br /><br />Happy Blogging!!!

It is a good discussion, though.<br /><br />Elizabeth<br />Silver's ReviewsElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01522861943931628690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168132027607016845.post-45834556849627229412013-07-06T11:10:49.434+12:002013-07-06T11:10:49.434+12:00Google doesn't choose the winner, but it does ...Google doesn't choose the winner, but it does give you an Excel Spreadsheet with the names being assigned a number.<br /><br />You just the number range and put it in random.org and you have you winner chosen randomly and quickly. :)<br /><br />Elizabeth<br />Silver's ReviewsElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01522861943931628690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168132027607016845.post-86081652393509280982013-07-06T10:59:18.634+12:002013-07-06T10:59:18.634+12:00Maria

I am one full time jobber, and looking forward to being retired end 2014. Being online does soak up time from reading too! I looked down my nose at a student and said you are addicted to that ipod. Truth is I am a fellow addict!Kathryn Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581790816548017087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168132027607016845.post-37321694461362752972013-07-06T06:44:39.630+12:002013-07-06T06:44:39.630+12:00Hey, Kathryn!

And I would of course recommend it to you. I hope you do use it when you finally do host a giveaway. I was happy to help by providing the link to their website. :) <br /><br />As for your comment about 'jumping through hoops', let me tell you that I do NOT jump through all of them just so I can win a book. If I don't like a particular 'hoop', then I refuse to jump through it! Hee, hee! For instance, on many giveaway widgets, one of the entry options is to like a Twitter account, or follow a Twitter account. I don't have such an account myself, simply because I don't have the time to tweet! I have TWO jobs -- a full-time, and a part-time. (I took the day off today, so I have plenty of time to do my beloved blogging! YAY!!) So I simply avoid those entry options, and click on the ones I'm interested in. You can do the same.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting on my BBH post!! Hope you have a GREAT weekend!! :)Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168132027607016845.post-37632865230632539462013-07-06T05:10:15.365+12:002013-07-06T05:10:15.365+12:00Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting.

I can copy any of my previous giveaway forums, so my facebook and twitter are always listed in them, but I do have to the change the giveaway title and the item I'm giving away.
