@*GG* and @Gingergrrl, your initials and avatars are confusingly similar! :confused:

Wow, you are totally right, @Bob! I never sign my posts with GG anymore once *GG* changed his screen name. I usually don't sign them at all but if I do, I write Gingergrrl or just Ginger.

I had my avatar as a pic of dachshund for two years and decided it was time to change it and put the quote from a Howard Jones song ("No one is to blame") that really resonates for me with this illness. But maybe I will change it again to something different (but need to figure out what!) Sorry for any confusion.

Now back to the regular topic... ;)

First place gets $50k or part of $50k for the above. The article is right under the 'Vote' button. Took me a while to find it... :rolleyes:

ETA: @Hutan. I forgot to make this a 'reply.'

@Bob posted the rules a few pages back. It was something to the effect that the most votes or page views (can't remember which) get into the top bunch at the end. Then, the Rare Life people choose a winner that seems most appropriate to the contest out of the top bunch.

Sorry if that doesn't quite nail it down... But that's the gist of what I can remember. :)
