The truth is that it can’t get any better than this! Well, maybe if you own the company but for those who do not own a software company, have I got a deal for you! From the inventors of .ZIP comes a free software program called SecureZIP Express. You can download and encrypt documents and it’s all free. These can be compressed or decompressed with ease. You will find that it’s a great way to save space especially on your latest CD or thumb drive. It comes with a digital certificate that allows you to exchange files with someone else without the problem of forgotten passwords. You do not need them! With the digital certificate, the only one that will be able to open the file is the person you sent it to. You can relax. This software has no spyware or toolbars in it. It’s licensed for non-commercial use. Now that’s what I call secure!

Thought I forgot about the contest, didn’t you. Nope. Here it is. All you have to do is download and install the FREE software and then decrypt the message! That makes you eligible for a chance to win these fantastic prizes: Honda Scooter, gas cards, Wii games, bicycles and much more. Just head on over to www.DecryptandDrive.com to get the details I have not told you yet. What? You think there’s a string? Well, yeah. You can’t win if you don’t enter. And you are still a winner because you will have that great software for free.

First, I love contests! If I can find a contest relevant to things I like, I’m there. And at this time, I have been remiss at thanking Lisa Cooking for her wonderful contest for Pizza Hut’s Tuscani Pasta - Premium Bacon Mac ‘n Cheese. She required people to simply put in a comment on her blog to have an entry. However, you could blog about the contest too! That got more entries. It was an awesome contest with three prizes. All three prizes were certificates to receive a free pasta dinner, in this case the Tuscani Pasta called Premium Bacon Mac ‘n Cheese.

Recently, I received a letter from Pizza Hut informing me that I was the winner and that I was getting a Pizza Hut card entitling me to a $20 gift card so I could try out their newest Tuscani Pasta. Fantastic! We did try out the pasta dish. It is very good. Definite bacon flavor and really good mac and cheese!

Thank you Pizza Hut for the gift card and thank you to Lisa Cooking for the contest that made this happen!

A while back, I entered a contest that included some pretty terrific prizes. You can see the blog post about that contest by clicking on the link here. It was about the new Andromeda Strain movie that broadcast on A&E network last week, I think. And I won the contest when I wrote this blog post about it! The prizes are awesome! I received the old version of the movie and then the new one too!! We watched the new movie last night. It was fantastic! It was somewhat like the other one but there were definite differences with extended content. I will not be giving it away for those who do not like spoilers.

I wanted to thank Simply Stating the Obvious for hosting the contest and for letting me enter it. This is a really nice blog to visit anyway but now there will be more contests in the future since this one was successful!! YEAH! I love contests. So, a great big thank you! Keep the contests coming.

If you are a dog lover and a doggie owner or know someone who has a dog, here is a great contest for you! I ran across this absolutely great blog called “The Chocolate Dog Blog” (I LOVE that title) and they have a contest running. I love contests so I checked it out. We have a brand new puppy so I am really interested in this as well as in the people at DogPause where the bowl comes from.

On the blog, you will see a video with a dog eating from one of the bowls and testing the thing. Looks good to me. DogPause has this new type of bowl that is especially for fast eaters. This slows those doggie wolfers down. If you want to see more about that contest, just go to “The Chocolate Dog Blog” and sign your little self up for the new doggie bowl from DogPause!

As you know, if you read this blog very often, I love contests! I like to enter the relevant ones as much as possible. Recently, an email was sent out about this jewelry place in Florida that was having a contest. I decided to check it out.

What I found was a company that has been in business at the present location for over 30 years, has a great reputation in their area with the local people voting them favorite jeweler of Orlando. It does not hurt that they are the largest independent diamond broker locally either. Not bad. Goldsmith Jewelry has a very nice selection of fine jewelry pieces that anyone would love to wear.

And now they are having a contest to win a prize worth $1,500. Now, if you are a blogger who wants to enter the contest simply follow the link. You had better hurry up though. The end of the contest is on February 4th. On the 5th, they will open up a poll with all of the entrants listed. Then people vote for the best entry. They will announce the winner on February 10th!

I have been to Raleigh, North Carolina, during all seasons of the year. It is a beautiful city, well worth the effort to visit on a vacation. The place is so pretty, especially in the fall. The colors are awesome. Did I mention a FREE Raleigh Getaway? Thought so. The prize is incredible. Want just a taste? Of course, you get a night stay for two at the Courtyard by Marriott, a $25 gift certificate to a Bistro, a couple of tickets to a theater performance and several more. Hey, you have to go register. Don’t wait on me to tell you all of it.

Do you like Shakespeare? Then it is time you traveled to Raleigh during their Fall Getaway season for the NC Shakespeare Festival. Two of the writer’s plays are being shown during this event…The Crucible and The Comedy of Errors. If Shakespeare isn’t your cup of tea, how about Man of La Mancha? The museum exhibits include Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries, Landscapes from the Age of Impressionism and Mysteries of the Lost Colony. Opera, Theater productions, Little Theater and festivals are just a few of the attractions available to those who travel to Raleigh, North Carolina during their Fall Getaway season in October.
