Richard Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 I'm sorry? I do not mean any offence and this may be a cultural divide, but why are you posting this here?!
Richard Z Posted September 19, 2008 Author Posted September 19, 2008 I'm sorry? I do not mean any offence and this may be a cultural divide, but why are you posting this here?! I don't know.. Maybe in the past two years, I thought I made a few friends here... Several know me personally... I may have accidentally put it in the wrong forum. If a moderator wants to move it, thats fine.... My children are the most important things in my life and I'll do anything for them.. Richard Z.
jrt Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 I don't have any problem with this- other folks post requests of all kinds and we either read or ignore them. If anything, it might be in the wrong subforum, but I would rather post it here than a subforum described as "redneck trashtalk" I wouldn't want to subject my daughter to that; she's going to have enough problems with me as her papa.
antonio carroccio Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Jason, I believe Richard is a terrific nice guy, nothing wrong about that, but this topic could be closed in my opinion.
Richard Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 I did not mean any offence. If I have offended, I am truly sorry. I will gladly wind my neck in.
John in Leeds Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Must be a culture thing Richard - over here Glamour is term for allure and sex appeal. I feel a little uncomfortable about that association with a four year old. But what do I know, best of luck mate, look after those lovely kids
Paul Minnaert Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 I would vote for your daughter, but am at a loss when I click the link, it looks like a website for all sorts of contests. And no way I'm entering my emailaddress there. It might be culture, but what does it help your daughter when we all vote?
Richard Z Posted September 19, 2008 Author Posted September 19, 2008 I would vote for your daughter, but am at a loss when I click the link, it looks like a website for all sorts of contests. And no way I'm entering my emailaddress there. It might be culture, but what does it help your daughter when we all vote? Completely under stand the email address concern and I don't have anything against anybody with that concern... I don't like being on email lists either. Here is how we got involved. She and a girl she is friends with went to a local pageant. My daughter won this free photo shoot and some clothing. Dresses etc. The company, Glamour Shots, put her image in this contest, and I've been forwarding it on to friends and family. The contest winner gets a US savings bond. Right now, probably not worth the paper it's printed on. LOL Here is the information. National Prizes: The National Grand Prize Winner will receive a $2,000 U.S. Savings Bond. Each of the other 3 Category Winners will receive a mounted and framed 20x24 portrait of their winning image. Grand Prize and Category Winners have the possibility of being featured in Glamour Shots advertising materials. Thank you all for your support. I did not intend to cause drama and debate. As a single father of 2 children, I do everything I can to make them happy. I apologize for my overzealousness. My son show's his motorcycles in shows about every weekend and this is how I get to have some involvement with my daughter. (We are competitive by nature in a fun way) Everyone can decide for themselves if they want to participate. I just posted this info. Only vote if you feel comfortable. Thanks Again, Richard Z.
Admin Jaap Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 When I read the topic title I thought it was some kind of spam message. But after reading it I now it is a valid question for help from a forum member. My personal opinions on pagents for young children aside, I see no problem in this. If someone has a problem with this please take it up with Richard Z through PM or e-mail. I'm closing this thread, to avoid a discussion (mostly based on cultural differences) on a topic that, imho, doesn't belong on a motorcycle forum.
