CHANGE ON HOW TO ENTER----- ok it has been brought to my attention that maybe some may not have any ideas, and I want everyone to be able to enter, so just say something you like or any contest that you think is really cool, you can acually post about anything you want and I will count it, I am pretty lax on the rules business and stuff like that, just want to have fun. Hi all. Time for another MOC. This time it will June 2nd at 8am central time, It will run until June 16th at midnight. Every time you post an idea for a new feature you would like to see on SA or something you would like improved you will be entered one time. Only one entry per day. If you have no ideas you can post a feature you really like or want more of. And its ok to post something you don't care for also. AT the end each time you posted will count as one entry and the prizes will be awarded by random. More commonly known as my hubby throwing a dart at all the names on a wall. The prizes are as follows. 1. A $100 gift certificate to live nation, can be used to purchase concert tickets or mechanize, they have allot of music merchandise, hoodies, cds, albums,bandannas, t-shirts, poster, collectors items, ect. You do have to pay shipping, but when I used mine it was only $10 shipping. 2. A mothersday brooch. Silver and very pretty APR.$69.00 3. 2 handheld Yahtzee games awarded separately. 4. Silent Hill and The Dark on DVD awarded separately. Number 3 & 4 prizes have been donated by SA administration. Good luck to all.

Since you asked--- Ideally, I would like to have the option, in My Sweeps, to limit the number of items listed in sweeps I have saved, to 10 per page, instead of 20. This is because I love Sweeps Pop, and I find it easier to wait for 10 sweeps to launch than for 20.

 I really enjoy reading the posts in the Winner's Circle for lots of reasons. I love the positive atmosphere, where people are happy about winning, even if the prize is small. Sometimes it takes so much patience to enter daily, on an IW for example, and finally win some chocolate or a gift card, and we all know how good that feels! Other wins are huge and awesome, and they remind us that it really is possible, and I love how other SA members congratulate the winners. It is really great to hear when an SA member wins a grand prize. Seeing winning screen shots is fun too!

This is my favorite sweeping website, and the first MOC I've participated in - lots of fun! A minor suggestion: I would like to click on a forum post and have it bring me to the last message read within that thread. As it is I have to scroll through the whole thing and try to remember where I'd stopped last time. thanks for asking!

So, on the longer running contests that are daily entries, do you find that you miss them when they end? I find that when the year long ones end, I am a little sad on the last day of entry, the usual "sorry not a winner this time" not being there any more. . . just me?

SA is number ! on the list! Yeah! I am so happy that I found this site ages ago. When I was a stay at home mom, I started sweeping . . . I won several trips, little things here and there but by sweeping I was able to provide vacations for the hubby and me before the wee monster. When the wee dragon came around, I stopped sweeping for awhile, lack of time, energy, you name it and most understand! When the monster turned 2, we bought a house and moved and I went back to work part time and I realized that I really, really missed sweeping! So, gradually started again, instants when I had the chance, daily entries that seemed to become more like when-you-remember-and-or-get-the-chance entries, again, most understand that. Now, I do what I can, when I can and I am ok with that! Realized if I can't enter daily, thats ok, sometimes it only takes one entry into that unlimited to win, may not be my turn so be ok with that one entry! And this is my ramble/entry for the day! Have a wonderful weekend all and happy sweeping!

 I like reading the posts for this MOC! I totally understand, drgnldy812, you expressed it all very well! My entry for today ~ I like how people at SA help each other with basic things. Sometimes, you just can't find where to click to enter a sweeps, and someone will point out that little spot on the bottom left, or other times you can't find a specially marked item for a code or upc and someone will help you out. Little things do make a difference.

Voted for the day. Eflynn, sorry your having a rough time, you are in my prayers and I hope things get better. I love the community of SA. While most of us don't even know each other and will never actually meet face to face, most still are very supportive and helpful with each other. Support each other in difficult times, smile with each other over good times (and good wins), grumble with each other over yet another M&M's "Sorry, not a winner" (ok, that one is me, still haven't won on the #$*@&-ing IW). Just a nice place to be

voted today, and wanted to say thanks for the support and kind words. It is odd that I am being comforted by people I don't know personally and am well with that. Yet I am completely isolating myself from my friends that are near me. I do feel somewhat better today but it is a step only. One day or minute at a time as far as thoughts, actions, words, etc. As far as the SA site suggestions.... Maybe help for those of us who r totally not tech savvy. I barely can navigate my way thru it as it is and only utilize the most minimal of things. Like I can click on a link to the sweeps. DUH!!! Would like to try the pay section but fear I won't know how to use it. From what I already read and know of it, it sounds complicated to me and I would probably end up just limiting myself again. But I am probably a minority in this area.

We are actually slowly rolling out some how-to videos for both sites. The general overview video can be found here: http://www.sweepsadvantage.com/html/get-started-sweepstakes.htmPlus is actually similar to SA in General but it has an upgraded version of My Sweepstakes called Custom My Sweepstakes. Video tutorial on that here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Swpt7drbuNQWorking on a how-to video for Sweeps Pop and the Sweeps Pop menu of options also.

Yet I am completely isolating myself from my friends that are near me. Oddly, sometimes spilling your feelings to strangers is easier than your friends and family. They know you and know the circumstances for situations. Strangers only hear the immediate issue and nothing more. Strangers don't judge you to the same standards that your family or friends do (and they do, even when they try not to!). Knowing that someone, somewhere who doesn't know you or your circumstances is thinking about you and praying for you brings us all a wee bit closer in a world that seems to isolate us from each other more and more. With email, cell phones and the internet we spend far less time with people on a face to face basis. I am happy your feeling better today and hope that tomorrow brings even more joy. SA is still number one on the voting! Have a wonderful day all and happy sweeping!

After reading the last few posts, I would have to say that some of my favorite things about SA are how supportive members are of each other and how expressive/articulate some members are. I often read posts and think, "I know exactly what you mean!" On the other hand, sometimes the forums are silly and that is fun too.

 voted again and I just wanted to thank you all for the lovely kind words and I am feeling a whole lot better this day. Even managed to drag my sorry butt out of the house and run an errand and then came back and got a lot of things done. I heard someone else's way more serious problem this evening and felt their kind spirit it made me say to myself.... "get over it. There are so many worse off persons out there". Which is something I always try to remember. I can't help but not think about that when I think of our troops in harms way, or drive downtown and see all the homeless.....all the missing and exploited kids and weaker persons being exploited...all of which I pray for daily. Perhaps it is cause I am turning 48 this month and maybe it is just hormonal. he he he. Thanks again!

One thing I would like to see on SA in more purple  . What I mean by that is you know how each sweeps listing turns from blue to purple after you click on it showing that you have at been to that site? (in the new today's the colors are red and green). I would like to see each category name in My Sweeps turn from blue to purple after I have clicked on that category. Sometime when I have left my computer for a while I forget where I am in my entering. If the categories I have already done were purple I would know where to start. And I love seeing SA at the top of the list... been at the top of MY list since I joined! I vote each day and always check the site in #2 to see if they have more people vote yesterday than we did cause I don't want them catching us.

I would love to see more topics started by me because I won a great prize  All kidding aside, I love the orginization of SA. Being able to just jump to my instants if that is all I have time for. Bookmarking what I really, really want to remember entering each day. The expiring list that I tend to do daily for the single entries that I know I missed or never even saw. So, Thank You SA for being so darned orginized! Love that SA is still on top! Have a great day all and I am so glad to see your feeling better Eflynn!

I love that people who are voting for all those other sites are seeing what we have known all along . . . that SA is number one!
This morning after getting the wee dragon on the bus, I sat here drinking my coffee and looking at my garden and watched a chipmunk. This tiny little animal was carrying this huge leaf. It was over his head, little stem clenched between his teeth and all I could see was this leaf running across my front deck and under it. He went for another and dragged that one under too. Then I see a white pansy running across my deck and I debated what I should do . . . now I am seeing a red one go by and I have no idea how to get rid of chipmunks.

Oh that is too cute, tape it and send it in to funny videos. maybe you could win the $100,000. that would make it worth keeping the chipmunks there. lol

 voted again... feeling WAY better only now after sleeping for almost a week w/just a few hours of non sleeping doing computer (barely) now I can't fall asleep at all.  But I'd rather feel happy and peaceful and awake than miserable and no energy. Thanks again for your thoughts, prayers and positive energy that u sent out in my behalf. It is working. I truly believe in prayer. Its been proven in experiments that groups of people who prayed for plants in various locations for this study did way better than the plants that were NOT prayed for...as weird as praying for plants sound. Living things r energy and what is sent out affects other living things.... The old addage of Garbage out...garbage in. Kharma and all that.... So when i keep kind thoughts for all (which is not always easy for me to do) and try to love one another and it will be returned to me in kind. Happy sweeping SA family!!
