Some people evidently LOVE stress and conflict because instead of being as excited as most were about having our babies featured together in a BOSTON BUDDIES calendar, they have come up with reasons to shoot it down.  The company we are using does everything for us - the printing and the mailing.  We are not out any money in advance and I don't have the running around time & gas to pick up orders from a printer, purchasing the cardboard to keep the calendars from being bent in the mail, and then the actually mailing at the post office.  AND we aren't charging an entry fee because that would be just, uh, dumb.  People are asking for a free calendar if they win --- EVERYBODY wins because ALL entries will be in the calendar!!!  Sheesh!

Let's put it this way --- if you want to do it the way we have it set up, then do it.  If not, find something else to complain about and let everyone else have fun.
