It seems the simplest rules are seen by some as challenges.

Sorry. Some of us weren't clear on the rules -- and some JBF members were afraid to ask for clarification. We post our donation proof in this thread on the 15th. Got it.

The rules weren't clear, no reason to insult people wanting to do something good. I am not willing to post my receipt on this thread. I will open the contest for another JBF member to win. I donated to the American Cancer Society in Chuck's name. That is prize enough for me.

Good Luck guys!
Peace out!

Why is it necessary to post your receipt, Jodi?  Just post the amount.  The one with the highest amount could be contacted by JB privately to show proof.  I am not sure what the confusion is.  If the big time movie director wants to drop a few grand, he will probably be the winner.  He has JB's email anyway.  Clearly, he is just trying to be annoying to get JB's attention.

Well said, Wilson. Not sure where the confusion or anything came in to
play. Seemed pretty simple. No reason to take a pretty cool thing and
muck it all up.

I'm really sorry if I came off that way, Wilson. I actually was confused by the rules. Honestly, others have said the same thing to me on Facebook. My apologies if I upset you.

btw I posted this earlier in the thread -- in case anyone missed it...

"we are talking about xeroxes... I'm not going crazy overboard on my donation amount! No worries!"

I want everyone to know I really have no plans to donate thousands of dollars to win a box of xeroxes. I give an annual donation to the Humane Society every holiday. My plan is to give that same donation -- just a little earlier in the year. That's all.

All is forgiven, Nathan.

Thanks for sharing the photo.  The booklets actually look better than I imagined.

It's no worries, Nathan. I was just concerned that some members may
get frightened away from donating. Even if it's a $1 and you know you
aren't winning anything but still want to be involved that's a cool things
right there.
