IE7 and IE8 Crashes and Hang Ups
I’ve received a few emails about a looping bug in some ad scripts on the blog that crashed Internet Explorer 7 and 8 (apparently, it didn’t affect Firefox). I’d like to thank those of you who took the time to let me know. I think the issue is fixed – but if you still see any problems after flushing your browser’s cache, please let me know. My email is simply alex at this blog’s domain dot com (I’m sure you can figure it out).

    Top picture….I have that same Holly Hobbie doll….minus the braids (time and play) and she’s a little fade from so being wash many times. I’ve had her since I was a baby…30 years ago.

    I won’t be participating again in a sale. I got some POS rubber duck that was no way worth even half of what I paid.

    Ok, who had #5 in the “how many comments until a complaint” poll :D

    Congratulations Steve and Brian.

    Jim, even if you didnt get the printer it looks like you won already, congrats.

    I got the rubber duck too… They must have had a lot left unsold.

    But seriously… A rubber duck!

    Sure, it’s a “celebrity” rubber duck. From a 20 year old movie.

    I didn’t expect a big prize… I did expecta little more than a rubber duck which can also be found at my local 99 cent store.

    SenorMysterioso, I was just going to post that earlier this morning.

    Indeed, I was going to comment on how long before someone starts crying about what they received. Sounds like jealousy envy to me, perhaps they shouldn’t have the pictures of the big winners.

    I like it. Allows us congratulate those that got lucky.

    Brian it looks like youre an actor on the set of a television show or film that takes place in a generic windowless office

    Congrats. Sadly I have not received the three that I ordered yet. I love the sale and I plan to keep doing it everytime it comes around. I’ve taken part in all but the first one. This is more fun than gambling.
