From my Contest Email Bag:
"Suzanne, well we've had quite a bit of rain this year; more expected. So, I'm thinking [the bowl] might come in handy this Spring. Not sure how waterproof it is, but I think it would be a perfect raft for our cat...it's even got it's own compartment for her to carry her toys."--Anne E Taylor
"Oh my goodness it's the size of a Volkswagen! It would make a great 'one-up' gift at Christmas next year. My sister and I every year try to one-up each other with a useless but unique gift! Well the salad bowl has got one-up written all over it!"--Kristina Begovich Dolinar
"Dear Suzanne, since there is just one of me, I couldn't imagine what I'd want with [the bowl]. Then I decided to think 'out of the box' and realized [it] would be just the right size to hold: Slips of paper on which I've written each unhealthy relationship situation I've stopped putting up with."--Kathleen Richardson
"Suzanne, there is no good reason why I should win such a rare and beautiful salad bowl other than I really want it, and would treasure it dearly."-- Richard Thomas
"I actually think that salad bowl is beautiful. Here are two reasons why I think I should win it: I am 5'3" and my husband is 6'4". For 27 years I have had to look up and see things through his eyes. He always likes EVERYTHING bigger, taller, wider, and longer. That salad bowl would be PERFECT for him, as we eat salad every night and I would no longer subject him to the tiny containers I keep insisting on using when serving him up."
-- Debby (with a "y" and not "ie") Kratovil
"Suzanne, I would be honored to have the salad bowl. I am a Deaconess at my church, and part of our duties include serving the repasts when our members lose a loved one. I can never include salad as part of the menu because none of us have a bowl big enough. Your salad bowl would eliminate this problem."--Regina Sampson
"Suzanne: Just checked out your pictures of the bowl. Sometimes, things are so ugly that only a mother can love them. That bowl deserves a good home, not mine, but a good home. Good luck. As usual, your message this morning was just what I needed on this snowy Monday morning."--Krista J. Casey
Send me an email and you might be the lucky big, ugly, super-salad bowl winner!
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
