Contests lately make me mad

I just entered a contest tonight that said "anything goes" as to what you could enter. I entered one of my newer poems. The dude kicked it out saying it was not what he was looking. The idgit said "anything goes". That does not specify a specific genre it just means enter a poem of any genre. What is up with contests lately? Lordy they even kick your poem out when it is not good enough to win. So what, just let it sit there and rot like everybody else. Oh and the real wiener is the contest where they just view the poem and not even comment. How rude is that? That tells me you already got in your mind who is gonna win. You just look through the entries to find them. At least that is how I feel. I am freaking sick of it. Judge your contests fairly or don't hold one at all.

    I try to read the rules and be selective when entering contests. But I understand how you feel. Don't let it stress you out Sis.

That is a weight off my shoulders. Woo Hoo!!! They are checking me for "scoliosis" now. That is a curvature of the spine. They say sometimes that will

  • I am so Tired
    I am so tired just thinking about what is going to be happening over the next week or two. I got 3 doctors visits alone this week. Monday I finally find out the results of my MRI on my knee. I finally figure out if all I need is something as simple as rehabilitation on my knee or something as complex as surgery. The

Anyways, she kept running into our house Wednesday and Thursday because she did not want to be outside. We kept on having to throw her o

  • What A Sucky Day
    Woke up this morning and had to make my own pot of coffee. My mom always wakes up early with my dad and makes her own pot of coffee. Then my brother and his wife make another pot of coffee for themselves. That is like 3 pots of coffee made in one day. That is a waste of money if you ask me. 1 Didn't get to eat my
