“Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.” Goethe
I hope Scott is Okay.

In the event the winner doesn't post a new one I feel they should be afforded an entire week and it just goes as a loss of a contest if a new contest is not put in. I feel the runner-up should should be allowed to have the full term optimally following such a case. You could can always put in a 'snow day' as in a single week the winner can come back to pose a new contest for circumstances I guess because this will happen. Maybe in the middle of the year. :shrug:
That's how I interpret the bylaws. There are no bylaws right?
Do hope Scott's OK, he's a regular.
Beefing up the old home security, huh?You bet yer ass.

I know in the past we’ve given 24 hours after the winner is declared with the runner-up posting a new contest if the winner is a no-show. I can’t do it right this minute anyway, so I’ll wait until I get home from work at 6:00 pm central and if Scott hasn’t responded I’ll go. I share everyone’s hopes that he’s okay and would prefer to not have it go like this. I voted for him myself and honestly think he had the better cover so am hoping he jumps in at the last minute.

Yeah, I also hope Scott is okay and just busy. I mean, if I'd won last week, though, I'd have totally missed my window since I was very busy with finals for a few days. I assumed a similar situation was in play here.
I forgot to check in on this thread myself so maybe that is it. I hope Scott is OK
Many people get distracted by real life and skip visiting the forum for several days or even weeks. Hopefully, that is all it is.
I'm okay with skipping a week. when Scott shows up he can post a new contest for next week.
edit: Scratch that. Looks like Chad has one up already.

I am ok, very much appreciate the concerns!
It was a tough last week, had to go out of town unexpectedly to a remote area starting on Tuesday and through Thursday, then get up early Friday and drive about 500 miles north to celebrate Mother's Day with my family. Didn't get back until late last night. Didn't log in until today. So thank you for taking over, ChadH!
Every day is a gift, not a given right.
