Hi folks, we're getting more entries than I anticipated. I have therefore decided to increase first place to $300, add a second place prize of $200, and increase the number of $100 wins to 5 winners, up from 3.

Good luck to all!

Hi Folks, as a way of saying "thank you," to our forum members (all members), I'm conducting one my occasional forum give-away drawings. The drawing will be held January 1, 2021. There will be 7 winners, the first receiving a $300 Store credit, the second will receive $200, and the other 5 names drawn will receive a $100 Store credit. If you are interested in participating, just add a post to this thread indicating "Include me" (or anything like that).

This is NOT a "marketing" thing, you guys know we don't do that, but if you are selected I will need your Store email address to get the credits applied (don't post it publicly, and I don't need it unless to win, and you can send it to me privately). Your email will not be used for ANY purpose other than getting the credits posted. Kaleidescape is not involved in this contest.

Must enter by Midnight December 31, 2020.

Good luck!

Thank you Jim for this very generous offer!
Please add my name to the drawing as well.

I hope all is well with you and yours.
Best regards and Happy New Year!

Please add me to the contest. Jim, thanks for this and all you do for the K* community.

Happy New Year everyone!
 
Thank you Jim, this forum is great and appreciate all you and others do to make it a great community and wealth of information on Kscape. Please add my name to the drawing. Happy New Year!
 
Got you all, thank you! Happy New Year to everyone! Let's hope we have a better 2021, it's hard to believe it could be any worse!!

We will have the drawing tomorrow, by Noon EST. I may post some pics of the drawing, but the process involves me placing all the names in a bag and having my youngest Son (he's 6) pick one at a time. My oldest Son (10yo) will be watching as well. He's now interested because $100 of his funds are a part of the prize. Here's the back story: A few days ago he learned about this drawing, and when I explained the prizes he commented that first place should be $300 "because $200 doesn't really buy a lot of movies." I listened for a few minutes, letting him explain his logic, and when he was finished I told him I agreed, and then sent him to his room to take $100 from his savings and bring it to me. He was a bit surprised, and of course being a 10 yo he pushed back questioning why he should have to pay given it is my contest. My answer was simple:

"Don't obligate someone else's money without being willing to obligate your own." Lesson learned, he now understands what it is to be a politician!😄

Jim,
Great Upbringing of your Kids ... not sure any of us want to take a Kids savings ... The best part is looks like your kid is a movie lover and knows 200 don't buy much so hopefully he will strive for excellence.
Love the story.

Not sure there's one right way to help our kids learn these small lessons. I usually weigh out the potential benefits against any potential harm, and more often than not, I make the point through dialogue. In any case, not to worry, he'll earn it back in the coming days, and obviously I'd never actually use my children's savings to fund any of my activities, including this contest. (BTW, we were both smiling during this process, and he later hugged me and said "I love you Dad." I'm VERY close to my children, and given my age they understand our time together will likely not be as long as most Fathers, so they kindly indulge me when it comes to teaching points that I think are important.. Not everyone would agree, and I certainly understand and respect that, fortunately my kids "get it."☺️)

EDIT: It's funny how we can read into things when an ambiguity is created. I just had someone ask (politely) if my comment "more often than not, I make my point with dialogue" means that on other occasions I might get "physical" with kids. I guess it could be read that way, but the answer is absolutely not! While I don't judge parenting by others, we personally do not believe physical punishment of children results in any positive benefit, and risks creating long term issues carried into adulthood. Neither my wife nor I would ever get physical with our kids, ever. My comment meant that on occasion we take something from them, as opposed to correcting behavior through dialogue only. I use the term dialogue because I do allow them to try to defend their conduct. This allows me to understand their thinking and make appropriate corrections to that thinking. Tough to be a parent!!:)

Entries now closed, thanks to all that took the time to enter! I will post the winners at some point before Noon today. As you all know, this was only intended to close out this crazy year with a little fun, it was never about the prizes, those are negligible.

Josh and I really appreciate all of you, and are grateful for the contributions you all make to this little community. We wish you all the best, hope you have a happy, HEALTHY, and prosperous new year.

Stay well friends!

Jim
