      Thank you! And I'm glad to see a couple of my nominees win, even though not in the categories I'd voted for.
      
      DrMark, I'd submitted your composting dog poop article in the 'inspirational' category, but at least it was won by a lovely old dog.
      '
      Edit: At least a lovely old dog won 'best all round article'... is what I should have said.

         Thanks. I have been composting for many years now because it is good for my garden and the environment. (Sorry Greta, I know you would rather I just complain about it.)
         Personally I think it is important, but I certainly had never thought of it as inspirational!

               When I read "six dogs" I had to say NOSSA (wow!). Then I started thinking about my three horses. They produce a ton of s*** every day, but I guess I just have to live with it.

   I am honored to have won "Most Bizarre Article!" Thank you to whoever found it and voted for it! I'm surprised but getting a good laugh! The article is an oldie -- but apparently considered bizarre, as well!
   
   What's funny is I have another article that in my opinion is actually more bizarre, yet it goes unrecognized, LOL. It is very old and needs to be updated as evidenced by its too-numerous Amazon ads, but check it out if you want a laugh. It's called "The Most Inappropriate School Talent Show Acts of All Time."  Some of the talent show acts include surgery, vomiting, tooth extraction and scar show-off -- with video demonstrations!

      That was me I was searching and searching and then it occurred to look in HobbyLark and there you were. I remembered my daughter, when much younger, crying that she wanted to be on Britain's Got Talent and us saying, "But what would you do?"
      
      If only we'd had this fine resource
      
      Or the other one.

         Thanks for the nomination and for letting me know it was you! I assumed my old articles were mostly long forgotten. It's a nice surprise to win, even if the win is for writing a bizarre article.

    Thank you, HubPages. I was surprised and genuinely moved when I found out I was picked for the Lifetime Achievement Hubbie.
    
    I started my first HubPages account during some pretty dark days for me. Writing on HP changed and possibly saved my life, and that's not an exaggeration.  I really don't feel like it is appropriate to talk about personal stuff in the forums (or at all) so I'll leave it at that.
    
    Thanks, HubPages staff, and fellow writers too. This site has meant more to me than anyone knows.

             Google traffic is not rising from this. I have no idea as to the cause of the rise. My speculation is that it's just the internet being the internet; either random or unfathomable.
             
             Edit. We'll probably have a dip because of the Super Bowl; but then maybe the trend up could resume?

          2. Oblique
          3. Multiple-meaning
          4. Philosophical
          5. Other
