   My bad. I committed errors on linking my hub threads here. I hope HP management will forgive me.
   
   Anyways, my latest offering will be my DREAM CAR, Ford Mustang GT 2011. It's still on my bucket list. I hope I could own one when I become a billionaire on 2020. Hmmm..wishful thinking

   Winners for Day 11!
   
   • Staff Pick winner: akirchner
   for How To Save Money By Having A Living Will
   
   • Daily Drawing Winner: Johnny Parker
   for Retirement prospects for the middle aged with no pension, no savings and no plan.
   
   Congratulations to you both!  These are GREAT Hubs.
   
   I really want to stress something - a lot of you are writing AMAZING Hubs, but you're not winning Staff Pick prizes because your titles are not optimized for search engines, and that is a HUGE part of our judging criteria.
   
   For tips on how to do a good job in that department, visit: http://learningcenter.hubpages.com/hubcamp-sf-2/
   
   And as a rule, STAY AWAY from generic guides - be specific, be descriptive, and title things like you would type out a search query (but capitalize words properly)

    Thanks, Simone and everyone - sorry if I don't show up here very much....I've been saving my bionic arm power. 
    
    I had no idea that typing up 140 hubs before the contest started would end up being quite so hard to post up every day!  If I wasn't a typist in my 'real life' 8+ hours a day, I guess it would not have been so bad.  What was I thinking again??? Oh yes.....puppy money.  (They were born on Saturday - all 10 of them)
    
    I seriously need someone to lend me a pair of arms if you can...
    
    Having fun and just trying to get in as many hubs as I can without my arms falling off.  Just feel that since they are there, I should be posting them up!  If I don't write many comments, that's why!
    
    Good luck everyone and keep writing....see ya on the flip side!
    
    Have learned so much from this contest and really enjoy everyone's hubs...will have to go back and re-read all this month's hubs when this is all done.  At least that won't involve using my arms....much.
