First of all, thank you KATHY WALSH for serving as a judge for the Mama Said There'd Be Days Like This essay writing contest. We had 168 entries...narrowed down to the Top 5.

See who won by going to: http://www.thebabyboomerdiva.com

I had fun judging the contest, although I wanted the man's essay 2 win! Headed to Chicago for an author's award ceremony, ciao!:)

I like the way men can enter your contests. That's so different from ours. I'd love to hear what men have to say about midlife.

Dotsie, contests are just great FUN! With ME being on an ALL men forum gives you insight on how are MEN really think.
Trust me, I get picked on a lot! They are not as supportive as WOMEN, never will be! I keep trying to leave them & they cry like babies, LOL!
Yes, I loved the man's essay the BEST. I have judged contests before & it is such an honor to be chosen to be one, judging the word of your peers.
Ok, let me go pack & NOT 4get my swimsuit:) Robin, I look 4ward 2 my interview with you! Hi Jaw Jaw, loved your interview, thanks Jane Carroll for the info about Grandpa D. I enjoyed being on his radio show & reading my kid's poetry. He owes me my tape, danggit!:( Renee, I have enjoyed keeping in touch with you & TV150(ROBIN) This is my favorite part of this forum, "Meeting great WOMEN, like yourselves." Dotsie, very informative site with great WOMEN!
Keep up the GOOD work! (Nancy, I ALWAYS check in on this forum, it's one of the BEST!)Have a nice weekend, ALL!
