Here it is! The Official Fibromyalgia Community
Contest Winners Page!

A big thank you to our visitors  for participating in the Fibrom-L Contests. The winning entries will be showcased here, with a short explanation.

In September, we asked you to submit a song title that portrayed a life with FM and other conditions. Here is the winner, voted on by site visitors. The Winner won a copy of "Parting the Fog" by Sue Jones.

Beth (Lizard) was the winner with "I Haven't Got Time For the Pain" by Carly Simon.   Congrats Beth, enjoy your book! (As a side story to make you smile, we contacted Beth to inform her she was the winner, on her birthday! It was nice to give her a gift on such a fitting day)

In August, we held a contest asking you to submit the funniest top ten list, based on what summer activities  you hoped to accomplish. The criteria was that it had to be based on your experiences with FM/CMP and other disorders.

Sharon Garrett submitted the winning list:

1.This Summer I will remember to use sun screen as red is not a good color for skin and it clashes with my wardrobe.

2.I will not talk on the phone and forget I am barbecuing this Summer..well, maybe I better buy a fire extinguisher. One can't be too careful.

3. I will again 'forget" where my bathing suit is this Summer . No one will question my  memory lapse.  IF I manage to miraculously lose 25 lbs., I will retrieve it from the bottom of the  dresser drawer.

4. I will entertain the grandkids when they visit with fun games like "Find Grammy's car keys"...<please>

5.I will buy a telescope and learn about the planets and stars..If you can't sleep you might as well put the time to good use.

6.I will not ruin the picnics this Summer by predicting rain when I start aching all over. I will bring an umbrella and be quiet.

7.I will NOT put away my gloves, scarves and Winter boots as I would like  to find them before January THIS year.

8.I will remember to get the snow tires taken off the car. I really didn't need them last Summer.

9. I will figure out where I planted the flowers before the lawn gets mowed.

10. This Summer I will "beat the heat". I will make sure the furnace is turned off before turning the air conditioner on. It really does  makes a difference.
