I started a discussion a few days ago about my company giving away a trip to Hawaii. Some of you assumed they way I wrote it that I have already qualified for the trip..I haven't yet but am very close and have plenty of time( until June's end) so will most likely get my trip.
You can check it out below

My problem is who would I take with me?
I have 7 children...can't choose one over the others..
I have 11 grandchildren..how could I choose?
I have friends..how could I choose..
I just don't know what I will do..honestly ..
I thought of a lottery type thing..
I really need some ideas before it's too late..
I have to have a choise in mind or a fair way to choose..
Com on Friends I know you all will come up with some good ideas.
Thanks

Oh take me, take me, take me! I promise and swear that I will be a good wolf, a nothing but a good wolf, so help me I'd comb my tail, even put a ribbon in my hair and I will cut my claws too! And I will make sure my coat is gleaming without a hair out of place! I am house, boat and plane trained, I can even sit on the floor so I wouldn't need a seat I'd be your guard wolfie so I could protect you, not that you need protecting is that no one would mess with you when you've got a wolf on the leash! Oh yeah you'd have me on the leash so I wouldn't be off doing naughty things. Oh please let it be me!

First of all Darlin I wouldn't dare take you because being a wolf they would insist on you being in the baggage compartment and ofcourse I would have to disagree with that so I'd start a rumble and get arrested and not make it Hawaii at all so....
Wolfie sorry Love but your are out of the running!lol

You don't have a steady?Okay. how about keeping it open and see which child, grandchild, or friends earns the trip. I wouldn't tell them that they are competing for the trip . just keep your eyes and ears open. The person who either does well in school or does well at work or a friend who would really Need to get away , take them to Hawaii.

No Doll No steady..Have only been single for about 6 months.. I have to wait for my heart to heal before I even consider anything..
A grandchild won't work cause it's a grown up vacation..Maybe some meeting to go to...you know to recieve rewards etc..just not for children..

Then you should take the most fun friend you have.If your steady was a guy then your should take a female on this trip, and if your steady was a female, then take a male. I hope you aren't offended, I just not assume anything anymore these days. Anyway, you should take a fun person and really enjoy yourself.

I would suggest that you may want to use this as an incentive to someone in your downline. The person who statistically is working the hardest, or something. My mom "won" a shetland pony once, by being given the opportunity to get a certain amount of sales in her business. Her name was drawn, and if she met her goals she got the prize. Maybe that would work for you, draw names from your top producers then challenge the winner to push themselves a little harder.

That will be so nice. I would just put everyones name in a hat and let the grankids draw out who will be going. I would have all of the people present at the time of the drawing so they know it is fair. They should know the little ones won't cheat.

Who do you most enjoy being around? Who makes you happiest when you are with them.
If that person is a member of the family or a friend, great! But, you know, you do have a few more months to decided.
I probably would keep it quiet that I had a free trip amoung them until closer to the time and make my choice, since I really hate it when I feel that people are "sucking up" to me to get something for themselves. And if I don't chose them, they try to "punish" me.

Oh Sweets, My friends wouldn't treat me like that...
I have so many I enjoy...
And Doll if you feel your friends are punishing you then thay are not real friends because a real friend will want what is best for you and would never do anything to hurt you..

Well, actually, rather than friends, I was more thinking of family... Some families you would avoid like the plague if they didn't happen to be related to you. It doesn't sound like yours is one of them.
I do know that I wouldn't be friends with my brother, but atleast I can talk to him. That's more than my roomie can do with her a-holes of brothers.

Well my first thought was you could always take me. But I know thats not going to happen. Here is my list in order, I am not sure if you have these people in your life right now or not.
1. Hubby or significant other
2. Mom or Dad
3. Best Friend
If you can't or don't have any of them to take, how about a special aunt or a cousin.
If that isn't in the cards, I had read where you put everyones name in a hat and then pick a name. If you have 7 kids you can't pick between them. Good luck, may the best man or women win.

Take me! Take me!! Take me!!! LOL
I'm easy to get along with and would be good company. I'm retired and wouldn't have to use vacation leave. And it is probably the only way I'd ever get to go there.
So don't sweat the decision. Take me! :-)

Well, first, I'd check to see who would actually like to go, then who could get the time off to go with you. Then I'd put their names in a hat and see if anyone came up with a really good bribe.. uh... I mean... pick three names if there's a lot of names, then make a choice from those three.
