Well, I must say your story truly hit the spot for me...I needed something that would just allow me to forget all the stuff that's going on today and have myself a good time laughing. But, I have to say this...you do realize that it's going to cost you about 100 dollars just to keep your story on fanstory for readers, why the closing date is so far away is beyond me...lol
But, if you don't mind, I'm going to keep a copy of this story, and show it to my sisters...I love your humor...

Thanks for sharing this with us, and I wish you good luck in the contest, this is a good entry...All the best, and a hug too.

Warmly,
Victoria

    Hey, Victoria, hello. Thank you so much for the great review and giant sixer. I'm sorry you didn't get to catch it was I had it promoted. Yes, I already spent a good chunk of the hundred dollars on promoting. Haha. Oh, I'm sure they won't even give this a second thought seeing as how I'm sure they'll say this isn't an "event." Lol. It doesn't bother me though. I was only writing it for the fun I was having and hopefully gave a few people a chuckle along the way. I'm glad it brightened up your day a little. I hope your sis gets a laugh as well. Have a great rest of your weekend and thank you again.

    You're always welcome, Ron, I did enjoy the story, and I'm going to show it to my sister.
    Sometimes we need a little fun. I often enter contests just to get more reviews, knowing I'll never win..and it works too.

    All the best, and enjoy the rest of Your afternoon...
    Warmly,
    Victoria

You do realize this contest deadline is January 2nd? Ha That didn't make sense to me so I gave up trying. Possibly you could add nore each month until January 2, 2024 I would definitely add a quickly realized revelation that your wife is worth more than many billions of dollars but in your attempt to impress HER you've decided to continue the contest. Then, if you do win in 2024, you can give the gift card to your wife and she might be impressed by your galant and monthly attempt to win the prize which you do win, only to surprise her with $80 and of course *Give your sister a $20,' you can say causally as if $20 aint no big thang.

Then you'll have your wife and her sister both talking about your selfless devotion for years yet to come.

Either or any way this goes for you, Good Luck! Make sure the story doesn't say your wife leaves etc no contest is worth sending that over the world wide web ha
Excellent writing minus your wife leaving! Wives United!

Btw Don't change a thing. I read this to my husband as he's painting our.bedroom and we laughed a lot.

    Yeah, I don't get that. Why have contests where the deadline doesn't come up until a half a year later. I'm sure I'll have long forgotten about this piece by then. Lol.

    Thank you for the great review, Alex. I was just in one of those moods. Lol. I really appreciate the generous stars. I'm glad you and your hubby had a couple chuckles at this silliness. Have yourself a great day and thank you again.

I guess I'll start looking around from now on to see who has a brown spot on their nose. And wondering just want I can really buy with $100 gift certificate these days. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

This is amusing and a tad smartass. Wow! A whole $100 is just waiting for you to write the ultimate story and make sure you share it with your wife. Why flush twenty years down the drain. Best of luck.

Wonderful preamble to your story, DS. You've set the scene nicely for a great one. Now, let's hear it...

Wait, what? That was it? Something tells me you have nothing to worry about with winning the $100.

Seriously, that was very funny. I had a hunch that's the way it was going. Jim

    Lol. Yeah, I was just in the mood for goofing around. I'm sure this won't even qualify as a story to them but I had fun with it. I appreciate the review and stars, Jim. I'm glad you liked this silliness.

I wish I had your sense of humor. You take a simple idea-entering a FanStory contest, and take it to ridiculous extremes. Your mind is full of crazy possibilities that you convey with tongue in cheek seriousness.
Nice job. Hope you win that $100.

This really is a breath of fresh air and hilarious! I love it. The humour is maintained all the way through and It is simply rich in imaginative and satirical fun! We do feel like children don't we as we scrabble for such small rewards, probably costing us a fair few dollars before we even enter some of the contests! Just to be boring here - on the last line it should read 'whose' not 'who's' This is a very strong contender for the contest. Good luck! Debbie

I should take away one of those stars since you would probably think it was ominous of the hundred dollar gift card.
But to answer your question - no. Forget about it. You haven't even the slightest hint of a poem in your musings. I saw no mention of a grandchild, or dog or cat. You haven't a chance. Snarky will get you the protest votes. That's it. But to me. If I can come in near the top of the bottom half, at least I know there are 'some' people out there with some sense of rightness. And with that, I must be satisfied.
Where's the mac'n cheese? Yer cat get mine again? Woman? Where... Ow! That hurt!

    Lol. Thank you for the great review and the big sixer, Wayne. Oh, I'm sure this won't even come close to qualifying to their standards. I was just in one of those moods and I write mainly for my own enjoyment. I don't delve into the grandkids and pets unless I'm mocking them or running low on funny money. Haha. I really appreciate it, friend. Have a great rest of your weekend and thanks again.
