I'm giving Nugget a hug, even though I rooted for Pickles. He's such a cutie pie.

I wouldn't worry too much, though. It is a fantastic shot, and will likely win one of the next POTMs! Remember, we've still got 11 to go! :D

Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Woo woo! Go PIckles and Nugget!

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it Myaj. It's not absolutely vital that it gets up there right away. Enjoy your time and stop worrying about us! ^_^
