Finally Another Win

Some of you older visitors might remember one of my hobbies is entering sweepstakes and drawings. I have won some good prizes over the years but not in recent memory until yesterday. Lo and behold a surprise win, if only because I entered it once a few days ago, then forgot about it.

I've been watching the nightly Kiem TV News lately. They often mention an opinion poll on their web site regarding some news item. I wanted to participate in the poll but we usually have to computer turned off by that time. A few days ago I remembered it during the day and went to their site to see if the poll might still be up. I didn't find it, but I did find an Angelo's Ad with some news trivia quiz. 

I went ahead and answered the question(s). I don't remember what the questions were. Then in my e-mail yesterday I got notice I was one of the winners and had won a free lunch buffet and Angelo's Pizza Parlor. I was kinda stoked, even though I wonder if everybody that entered didn't also win. Normally those low value coupon prizes don't get me going but I've become a born again fan of Angelo's over the last year or so and I will take advantage of the free buffet lunch.

Speaking of Angelo's, I'm hesitant to give them this plug, but I will. The reason being I don't want it to screw up our pizza delivery when all of you order on the same night. We don't have pizza delivered often. Can't afford it. Starting about a year or so ago we started ordering pizza from Angelo's, if only to support a long existing business. 

The delivery guy told us a while back that they offer two pizzas for the price of one on Tuesdays. They can be the same kind, or two different types. We kept that in mind and took advantage of it last time we ordered. I was very happy with the deal.

The wife doesn't like, or can't really handle, greasy or spicy pizzas anymore because of side effects from her bone marrow transplant. That leaves me eating the rather drab pizzas she prefers. Either that, or we could order half the pizza my kind and half hers. That just doesn't seem to work well so we usually just buy a large drab pizza, with few toppings.

We tried our first Two on Tuesday pizzas a month or so ago. We ordered one (2) medium pizzas. She ordered her usual (boring, imo) White Knight- not sure what's on that one. I thought about it for a while and then went whole hog, making mine a combination pizza. 

I haven't had a real combo pizza in years. I was in seventh heaven and stuffed my face, eating nearly the whole thing. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed a good, spicy, loaded pizza. That Two on Tuesday deal is the perfect thing when you have two different tastes to deal with. We will be ordering that way again.

Connie Wins At Angelos!

Some of you might remember earlier this year where i wrote about winning a free buffet lunch at Angelo's Pizza in Eureka. I'd started doing the KIEM news quiz online (link is down on the right of the page) after seeing it mentioned on TV. 

I won the first time I entered it but never got around to taking advantage of the prize so the offer expired. I decided I'd enter the wife in it after that since she kept bugging me to take advantage of the prize. I've been entering it since January in her name and just received notice of yet another free buffet lunch. 

The question now is whether I continue entering it? I usually stop entering a drawing if I win.

The Freddy Wins Angelo's Again!

Long time readers here will recall a while back when I won KIEM TV's Angelo's News Quiz. I won that one the first time I entered. This time it took a while longer- maybe two weeks- but I won again. The prize is a free buffet lunch at Angelo's Pizza in Eureka, yumm!

If you'd like to take a crack at it, go to the KIEM TV web site. The link to the drawing is the Angelo's button on the right side of the page. Hmmm??? I don't see the link up there anymore, but you can always enter the KIEM 3 degree guarantee weather drawing at the top right.
