Dear Photographers:
I can't do it in May, and May is approaching speedily. My Mom is arriving and we will be driving down to the Florida Keys.
I'll be pre-occupied with her during that month.
To remind you, here she is, last year. Now she is 88 - and though it does not look like it - she needs me.
As long as she lives and is able our benefactor allows us to stay in a condo for free every year, who would turn that down?
Her motto is, I'm quoting: "I mostly sit. I absolutely cannot fall. I have only one goal: FLORIDA."
So, as you see, I have no choice in the matter.
If the polls appear before the end of May, and someone wants to run the contest, please feel free to take it over. The photos are pinned to the top of the forum. If I were running it, I'd give the entrants a day or so to switch their photo out if they want to. Folks may have come up with a newer photo they like better in the last half a year.
It could well be that it's not necessary, the polling may not appear before I'm back, or maybe nobody steps in.
At least please be advised that I can't be on standby for the next 30 days.
(I've always wanted to use that little icon for something)

(34,133 posts)I've got a picture in the contest but I won't be around for the last half of May.
I get my first new knee May 15! I'll be in the hospital for a few days and completely offline. When I get to the rehab center, I'll have a tablet but it's not very good for internet surfing though it can do it. So if the contest starts then, I may not be able to vote for my own entry!

And yes, it looks like the polls are here and about to be implemented.

(8,039 posts)I try to reassure you. lol Read the other thread too, about names. thinking about it. Skinner had a good reason why pools are like that now though it is a pain for our little contest. I'm leaning toward blind submissions though there are some people I would just know the photos because of their style. Are you all ready for mom?
