I'm glad there was a few more days! I was sad when I saw that it ended on the 1st.... But then I saw it was extended, so I read and voted.

There. it didn't help the tie, but I voted.
Uncle Pen wants you to VOTE! These stories are worthy and if others can take the time to write them, surely we can take the time to VOTE!
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
huh?! 26???
where are other members? oh come on! Is it sooo hard to sit read and vote???

Wow, I hope some other people vote and someone breaks the tie, although I liked all the stories - decision was a tough one this time round.

Boo-hoo for you Michigan J. Fox -- I know just how you feel, wasn't that long ago I protested what seemed to be a ridiculous requirement -- OUTRAGEOUS even. Check out the games forum, you can meet some of us, maybe even learn something and have some fun, all while Turbo boosting your post count.
Now, for those of you with a hundred plus posts, you've got a little more than two hours to tie it up again, or rather, ahem, vote for the story of your choice, while messing with the admin folks -- we're now in uncharted waters: SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE!

Doesn't someone deserve to win? Vote people, we need votes! We need a winner, not just contenders!

Congratulations to the writer of "The Unfathomable Weight of Revenge", which is the winner of our August Elimination.
You can now send your stories for the October elimination, which will be the last one for this year and we will have the final in November and December.

Congratualtions to who ever wrote the winning story. I guess I can now admit I'm the authore of "The Sun at the End of Life." It was a lot of fun and the tie made it climatic. Thanks to those (arminina, BigAl, Captain Pike, DickZ, Kizzo, Pablo, FifthE, Tractatus) who voted for my story.

I should wait until you set up your thread, Virgil, but in the meantime I can't help but say you really did a fantastic job with your story. You have obviously been through a similar experience, which in itself is important because it gives your story an air of authenticity. It's quite obvious that you didn't just dream it up - you had to have lived it.Congratualtions to who ever wrote the winning story.

But on top of that, you were masterful in conveying the feelings that somebody has in that situation. It gave me chills, and was certainly a winner in my eyes.
Why thank you so much Dick. I intend to set up a thread. As to being through the experience, I assume having someone in a nursing home. Yes I have. If you are referring to an end of life experience, no I have not.
