Each week, you subscribers will vote on your favorite in the new batch. At the end of the contest I will put all the weekly winners together and you will vote for your favorite among those. That final winner will win a $100 Barnes and Noble gift certificate. Each week the poem winner will win a trip to the prize vault as well as one person from all those who cast a vote in that weeks contest. Last week, the winning poem was "The Scent of You". I have posted the next 20 poems on the love poems page: http://www.theromantic.com/love_poems/main.htm Please pick your favorite from among the top 20 listed. To vote (all who vote are entered into a drawing to win a weekly prize too), send an e-mail to: tipofweek@aol.com and put "vote" in the subject line and in the body of the email tell me your favorite and maybe try to bribe me:) TheRomantic.com's ever growing PRIZE VAULT is filled with books, several board games including Romantic Sensations, An Enchanting Evening and others, CDs, dance lessons and other fun stuff at http://www.theromantic.com/prizes.htm ................................................................ ~~~ Sponsor ~~~ This is an email I received this week as a follow-up to a mystery shopping phone call I got. "The music survey will last approximately 2 to 2 hours and you will receive $65 for your time. We ask that you arrive at least 20 minutes early so that we can sign you in and seat you. Please bring this letter and a valid driver's license or picture ID so that we can easily identify you. The survey will start on time. If you arrive after the interview has started and you cannot be taken into the group, we will be unable to pay you for your opinions." Both Athena and I have done this music survey a few times now. Getting paid $65 to listen to music and rate it for two hours isn't bad. If you want to find out how to participate in this type of mystery shopping and other high paying ones, go here: http://www.theromantic.com/mystery.htm ............................................................... ~~~ Tip of the Week ~~~ Calculate Your Anniversary by Michael Webb http://www.TheRomantic.com/ I received this email from a subscriber, notifying me of my 5,555 day anniversary this Thursday. David regularly sends me such wonderful ideas. It sounds complicated to figure out but if you know Excel, it isn't at all. If you can't get it to work, go to this AA site and it will do something similar http://www.a-1associates.com/AA/calc.htm **************** Michael -- You probably did not know this, but this Thursday is your 5,555 day anniversary of your wedding. To figure out when the big days are coming, plug your marriage date into Excel in A1. In A2 type =today() and today's date automatically appears. In A3 type =a2-a1 and the difference in days appears, but in date format. Simply click a3 and under the format menu click CELL. In the FORMAT CELLS window the NUMBER tab shows up first. Under category click NUMBER. The cell A3 will now show the number of days since your wedding. To find the next interesting anniversay, simply put the next round number in A4 (such as 6000). In cell A5 put the formula =A1 + A4 The cell A5 shows when your 6000th day anniversary occurs. My wife was surprised when I brought her 4 flowers on our 4,444 day anniversary. David A.
