The iPad Giveaway

philly-bloggers

It goes like this: Bossy has a friend. And this friend is working with a company. And that company would like to give one lucky Bossy reader an iPad 2!

the-end

Let’s rewind. First: Bossy’s friend Cecily:

c-and-c

And this Bossy friend Cecily is working with Brad’s Deals, which is an online website that publishes up to the minute information about the best deals anywhere and everywhere. This means a list of top deals and coupons and sale gift-certificates for over 1,500 of your favorite establishments.

Did you even know you can get things like a $25 gift certificate that sells for less than $25?

Dinnerware, watches, magazine subscriptions, jewelry, coffee, sheets, tank tops and pet beds — this is just an example of the range of things you’ll find on Brad’s Deals, council — it’s all there and more. You can search by store or by product or just peruse the latest finds. Bossy thinks this could very well be one-stop shopping if you’re in the market for a gift.

perfect-world

And how cool is Brad’s Deals for offering to give away an iPad on Bossy’s blog? Bossy really respects companies that think out of the box! Or in the box, as is the case of the square computer you are staring into this minute.

And now on to the iPad. Bossy doesn’t have one, and to be honest, Bossy was one of those people who stood around at cocktail parties saying, What in heaven are they good for?

lying

So Bossy decided to go to her local Apple store and let one of their fruits espouse the iPad’s virtues.

apple-employee

The first thing Bossy’s iPad Boyfriend said was that the new iPad 2’s camera and video function is superior to the old iPad:

ipad-2-camera

The next thing Bossy’s iPad Boyfriend said is the iPad is all about the enormous selection of Apps:

iPad-apps

That’s when Bossy was all, But what makes apps on the iPad so much better than those on Bossy’s phone?
library-app-ipad

jon-gosselin-lookalike

Bossy told her iPad Boyfriend that she was relieved to learn about the more useful applications, because whenever she hears the word App she thinks it’s all about games, which Bossy has no interest in:

fake-chinese-characters

And speaking of doing work on your iPad, such as browsing the internet or checking email, Bossy asked her iPad Boyfriend to show her the size of his, um, keyboard:

ipad-2-keyboard

sideburns

Finally, Bossy admitted to her iPad Boyfriend she was worried it would be too hard and slick to hold. The iPad, Bossy means. But the always resolute iPad Boyfriend quieted Bossy’s fears when he said, “I don’t really drop mine that much.”

So, who wants one? Here’s how you can enter to win your very own iPad 2!

  1. You can leave a comment on this post, but it’s only one comment per person
  2. Except there are ways to buy more than one comment per person to increase your chance of winning

And here are those ways:

  1. You can comment one extra time if you tweet about this giveaway and then leave the tweet URL in the comment section
  2. You can comment ten extra times if you blog about this giveaway and link to this Bossy post and to Brad’s Deals within your own blog post, leaving the URL to that post in this comment section

Are we all clear? Please take the time to follow the rules so you aren’t disqualified.

Bossy’s friend Cecily who arranged this giveaway suggested the following copy as an example of what might appear in your own linked blog post: I’m posting this to enter a contest offered by Brad’s Deals at I Am Bossy! I want to win the iPad 2! Enter to win here!

But Bossy thinks it can be even simpler, for instance: Brad’s Deals is giving away an iPad 2 on I Am Bossy and all Bossy can talk about is boys.

Oh, you can put it in better words than Bossy or even her friend!

This giveaway runs until June 20, 2011, where runs equals it pretty much just sits here on this blog. At that time Bossy will employ her friend the Random Number Generator to select a winner!

Good luck, Bossy’s council! Every last one of you and you and you.

Contest closed. Thanks for playing along.

  6. Pick me please! I’ll give it to my aunt, who had a love affair with her son’s Ipad, and is now lusting for one of her very own.

  8. what IS it about the boys at the apple store? every time i go there, i fall in love with a different guy. they’re so POLITE and EARNEST. and CUTE. and they smell like moderately-expensive consumer electronics.

  15. My poor little laptop doesn’t seem like it’s going to last much longer. I would LOOOOOVE to be the proud owner of an ipad 2!!! I could take it to class with me and record my lectures, or even just watch movies while I’m supposed to be listening to my lectures!

  19. HEY! I’m in that picture! HI GRRLZ!

    Dude? I need me this iPad because iPads are the new communication devices for nonverbal children.

    I have a nonverbal child.

    Proloquo, tap to talk, you name it. This could open HUGE DOORS for my little boy. Someone hook a girl up, yo.

  21. Apple employees are like doctors. There are always some cuties roaming around the building.

  23. Keep thinking about buying one for hubby’s b’day, but the honest truth is – I want it (no lie)! So, pick me Bossy!

    Does it help if I say how wonderful Bossy’s daughter was in her latest show? True – even if it doesn’t help.

  25. I don’t Tweet and I don’t have a blog — but if I had an iPad, maybe I would bo both! (so yeah, there’s only going to be this one lame entry….)

  26. My 11-year-old daughter NEEDS an iPad. So I hope I win and can keep it for myself! (I may let her use it once in a while, but only if she teaches me the tricks to win at Angry Birds.)

  27. They also have classes at the Apple store to help you learn about the many ways to use the iPad. Sweet.

  28. No blog, no twittering, not even a cute iPad boyfriend. So maybe I could start with an iPad?

  39. I want an ipad sooooo bad! I was just eyeballing one at the store the other day. Unfortunately, the price tag told me I couldn’t….

  46. hmmmmm, ipad 2… did you ask just how quickly after you get ipad 2 that they will put out ipad 3?

  47. holy craptastic Bossy – a freakin’ ipad?!?!!! that would be perfect in so many wonderful ways I can’t even go there.

  56. I don’t tweet or blog, so this is my only entry.

    If I win, I’ll make sure to send Baby David some nice pictures (that I’ll take with the iPad) of birds to look at!

  57. An iPad2 would be awesome, since I don’t have an iPad1 or an iPHone! I bought a droid. How stoopid.

  60. –>I know a blogger in Va. Beach who would love the iPad2 to take pictures of even more crap than she does with her iPhone. No, it’s not MTTSM but ME!

  61. Love my Nook for reading books, but an ipad2 would be great for “webbing”

  63. Would love an iPad. And speaking of iPads… yes, sideburns rule. Gotta check out Brad’s Deals! Thanks for the tip!

  69. I don’t twitter or have a blog–but maybe if I got an IPad2 I would!

  70. I’m sure this isn’t going to improve my chances of winning, but if I win this iPad 2, my two year old and I would use it to skype my husband while he’s in NYC in grad school!

  87. I live on the same street as Steve Jobs, but he won’t give me an ipad. Maybe Bossy’s friend will?

  102. Oh I love this!

    Lovely giveaway BOSSY and Brad’s Deals. And smart move Brad’s Deals for parterning with the amazing BOSSY on this one. I like doing business with smart companies. Who wants stupid in their email box everyday?

    Not me.

  113. I used one for the first time yesterday and liked it more than I thought I would, so this is good timing :o)

  114. Bossy,
    If I had a Twitter account or Blog, I would most certainly post this on those two. However, since I don’t, this is the only way I can tell you how very much I would love to have this IPad. Thank you sooooo much for the opportunity.

  117. If I’m destined to win this, I only have to enter once. This theory has yet to win me the lottery, but at least I’m buying a ticket this time.

  118. Bossy is bossy so I do what bossy say!
    Bossy is awe-sie so I enter to win today!

    I clearly am not as awe-sie in my rhyme
    But for an iPad I would totally suck a lime.

    Poop.

  127. I want to win the I Pad for my son who has autism. I am in the process of raising/saving money for one for him but to win one and have it much sooner would be soo wonderful! Thanks!

  132. OMG playing Angry Birds on this would be awesome 😉 Also reading and doing other more scholarly things.

  139. Yeah for Ipad 2! Actually Domestic Goddess sent me over to win one for her autistic son, but since I have an ASD son of my own I would probably be the world’s worst friend and just keep it for him.

  155. Would love, love, love it . Pick me! Please, please, please. I love the video and camera of the 2. Also it has a stop flipping to vertical /horizontal when you’re in bed reading on your side. That alone makes the upgrade legit:)

  156. I am another no-blog, no-tweet person. My son tweets, though: or at least read other people’s tweets. Mostly sports persons, I think, But I know that doesn’t count. But I would love an ipad. I don’t even have my own laptop. Horrors! Thanks, Bossy . . . and Brad! p.j.

  161. Please pick me! it will keep my 3 year old occupied on a cross-country flight! I need it!

  168. Would love, love, love an IPad, and would love, love, love Bossy, if I win!

    (OK, I already love bossy. Why has this contest reduced me to reasoning like my 5 year old?)

  169. I’m posting this to enter a contest offered by Brad’s Deals at I Am Bossy! I want to win the iPad 2! Enter to win here!

    But Bossy thinks it can be even simpler, for instance: Brad’s Deals is giving away an iPad 2 on I Am Bossy and all Bossy can talk about is boys.

  189. I would love to win an ipad. I think they are cool but don’t have the money to spend on one. My son would love it too.

  190. Oh – how this visually impared bossy person would love the ipad – I have such a hard time seeing anything on my iphone.

  209. My blog is covered with cobwebs and I rarely tweet, so we’ll start with just this one chance to win!

  211. Would love to have an Ipad!! Mainly because my computer is a piece of junk and I am too lazy to replace it!

    Kim

  213. I would love to have an iPad2. I don’t tweet or blog, so this is my only chance. It’s still a chance…

  214. I would love, Love, LOVE an iPad 2 and the new and improved camera that’s better than the one that didn’t exist! Thank you!

  215. so you know that commercial that says if you don’t have an iphone, you don’t have an iphone. well so I don’t have an iphone and my hubby does, which makes that commercial EXTRA annoying. If I win I will certainly create a NEW commercial which says if you don’t have an ipad, you don’t have an ipad, and shove that in my dear husband’s face. won’t that be awesome? yes! it will!

  216. You are SUCH a GIVER , Ms Bossy! I killed my blog so this one lone comment will have to do. 🙂

  218. I think Brenda has this in the bag, but put me in for one chance anyway, please. I WORK part-time for Apple and I don’t have an iPad, for crying out loud.

  224. I think I need one of these, and by “need” I mean “want”. Same difference.

  233. I don’t have a blog or tweet so this will have to be it. I would love a IPad 2, too!!

  235. Well, I don’t blog nor do I tweet, so here’s my one hat in the ring!

  238. Wow…I was in the Bossy Camp of “why do I need one of these?” But now I know why! I want, I want, I want! Does the Apple Boyfriend come with as an instruction manual?

  240. I wish I wasn’t such a slave to possibility. I never win anything good, but I always win bullshit. But if I win, I promise not to ever refer to the ipad as bullshit. Unless I drop it out of its rubber.

  243. Oh, please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please! Pick ME, o Random Number Generator! Pick ME!!!

  244. What an awesome giveaway! Please count me in. 😀 And if I don’t win the iPad 2, I’d quite happily take the boyfriend as a consolation prize. 😉

  248. I guess just one chance for me to win since I don’t own a blog or a twit. If I win I’ll be receive the email that my son’s soccer coach sends 5 minutes *after* I leave the house to notify me that the practice is cancelled. [This is where you picture me sitting in an empty parking lot next to the field wondering why I am the only parent that doesn’t know about the cancellation.]

  249. Please, Please, Mr. Magic Random Number Generator, Pick Me!!! I NEED an I-Pad! I want to read books on a little tablet thingie, and play Angry Birds, and basically just tell everyone that I won an I-Pad.

  252. Nice give away Bossy!! Hah, I typo’d your name and I had typed Boozy!! Freudian?

  253. I want an iPad2 so I can give it to Andrew for Father’s Day because Apple and I have a never ending feud. Apple knows what they did!

  264. gonna say I NEED to win this. My kids cried on mother’s day because apparently all their friends gave their mother’s ipad2’s on mother’s day and my kids were extremely upset because their dad (my ex) didn’t even take them shopping to get me a card. I didn’t expect anything but the kids sure were upset 🙂 so come on, make their day and let me win a ipad 2 for my kids to give me as a belated mother’s day gift.

  270. Hello Bossy,

    How the heck are you doing? I’ve been MIA for a few weeks with some extremely sad family stuff. Always love coming back to you….

    And yes I need to win, cause I’m super sad!!!!

  272. Great giveaway. My husband has been wanting one and keeps bringing it up.

    emtaylor98 at yahoo dot com

  276. Me, me, me! I want an Ipad2! Of course, then I will have to hide it from my children, but I can live with that:)

  287. I have always wondered, who is the Random Number Generator? And how can I bribe them?
    My phone has no apps, so I think I must need an iPad. With a protective rubber. Or I can just tape some maxi pads on my iPad to protect it.

  288. is ipad boyfriend wearing a wedding ring? dang! guess i’ll just enter the contest instead of finding out which apple store he works in.

  291. I’m still living in the dark ages….my cell phone only makes phone calls!! I need an iPad 2 desperately 🙂 🙂

  294. Alright, I’ll throw my hat in for a chance. I love a good deal! Looking forward to keeping my eye on Brad’s Deals.

  296. I’m going to the Grand Canyon in a RV with my kid. I need a way to entertain him. THIS WOULD ROCK HIS SOCKS OFF!!!!

  297. Oh bossy, I want Bossy’s iPad boyfriend, but if I can’t have that, I’d settle for the iPad2, with the upgraded camera.

  299. Ahhhh, how I covet – not in our budget at the moment 🙁
    Good luck to all!

  302. Being named TechyDad, you’d think that I’d have five of these for each member of our household, but sadly we have none. I feel like such a fraud. Here’s hoping Bossy & Cecily can remedy that!

  303. For my job, I actually have to work as part of the whole headache-y process of releasing apps for the iPad, and I don’t even have an iPad. At least, not yet—???

  306. Crossing my fingers and wishing really, really hard to win (Since crossing my arms and blinking my eyes all I Dream of Jeannie didn’t make it instantly appear!)

  307. An iPad would be nice. I’d give it to my husband on Dad’s day instead of that stupid coffee maker I was planning to give him. I mean, giving your husband a coffee maker for Dad’s day dooms you to getting a new washing machine for Christmas, don’t you think?

  317. I haven’t written on my blog for ages so maybe that isn’t the fairest way for me to enter. And like my Aussie friend Meredith says while trolling the parking lot looking for a space, “I only need one to win!”

  322. I would love to have an ipad–even though I would be just like Bossy and have to learn what it actually does!!

  333. My husband would be SOOOO jealous if I won an iPad 2! Could there be a better reason to win one than domestic disharmony?

  334. Cool offer Bossy! I am a bit with you on the whole WHAT do I need one for again? But I am more than willing to hurl myself into whatever century this is to find out!!!
    🙂
    BB

  341. I Tweet and I Blog, but neither one has found their way to my fingertips lately, so this will probably be it.

    Did you ever notice that people who want to give you a piece of their mind are usually the ones who can least afford to part with even a little piece?

  344. I’m a gadget nerd and would love to go all nerdy on a new iPad2. Thanks for the chance to win! ;0)

  346. No tweet, no blog, but I really would love to give this to my kid for graduation. Thanks for the opportunity.

  347. Wow, iPad 2 – what a great giveaway…..I’d love to win but the chances are that I won’t so good luck to whoever should be the lucky one.

  349. I don’t tweet or blog, so one entry will have to do the trick. Thanks for the opportunity to enter.

  350. I am not a tweeter or blogger…..so I am gonna pack all my good luck and lucky stars and lucky charms and lucky horseshoes and four-leaf clovers into this comment, while I cross my fingers and toes until Jun 20th….cuz Man o Man…..that Ipad 2 would be SWEET!! Good Luck to All!!!

  352. You asked all the right questions,now i’m convinced I need an iPad2. Thanks Bossy!

  353. Nothing wrong with talking about boys. Most girls have done it their whole lives. So far.

  357. I don’t blog, I don’t tweet, but I would really love an iPad2 so I can keep on lurking! 🙂

  359. Wow! Cool contest. Don’t have a blog, don’t know how to Tweet, so guess this is my only chance to win. Pray for me!! Thanks for the chance to win

  360. I didn’t even know I needed an ipad until I read this. You’re such an educator Bossy.

  363. Does being your cousin Erik’s girlfriend disqualify me for winning an iPad? I’d (I mean, we’d) really really really like one! And then we can Skype with the iPad’s all-new camera from CO with you and I can finally meet the infamous Bossy! 😉

    PS. Go for iPad Boyfriend! Computer geeks are the best!

  365. I’d LOVE an iPad of my own! I keep “borrowing” my friends and hoping they forget to ask for it back =)

  368. What an awesome giveaway! I’ve been coveting the iPad for entirely too long now…

  369. OK- you’ve convinced me! I’m going to do just what you asked….just not right now….but by the deadline!

  375. No tweets or blog for me so I get one shot.

    That magnetic origami stand thing is perfect to prop on your tray table while flying so you can watch movies. I know this because I watched my husband while he watched a movie all the way home last week. I want one too!

  379. I have an ipad, so I feel kind of greedy trying to get the 2. But hey, free ipad. I’m in.

  383. Though obviously there’s going to be huge competition for this, I can’t resist entering just in case. (I definitely won’t win if I don’t enter, will I?)

  387. Dear Sir, you certainly have a lot of comments here. Do you think everyone just wants a free ipad? hahahahaha Love and kisses, Craftwhack.

  402. I don’t tweet, blog nor do I have an iphone or an ipod. Luck please be on my side.

  404. Oh, pleeeeeaseeeee….I don’t own a new, fancy electronic doo-dad ANYTHING! This would totally make my LIFE in a larger than life kind of way!! Thanks, Bossy!

  406. Oooh, I picked a great day to discover your blog! I’d love an iPad, but just can’t justify spending the $$ right now. I’m enjoying your blog, by the way …

  407. I just said to my better half – “I NEED an Ipad!”
    And better half said, “No, you WANT an Ipad.”
    And I said, “I really WANT to NEED an Ipad.”

    It was funny then, I swear. Don’t disqualify me for being a dork.

  409. Would love an iPad 2. I even know how to capitalize it and the right spacing and all (althoughdidhavetodoublecheck).

  410. I love to read your blog and I’d love to win an iPad 2!!!!!! Thanks for the contest!

  412. bossy’s friend krg doesn’t have a blog, but she’d love to read others on a new ipad.

  414. I don’t tweet or blog, I don’t own an iPad, so here is my one and only entry. This would be a really nice treat for when I get out of the hospital (spinal fusion this week)!

  416. I don’t tweet and I’m chicken to blog. I might maybe would blog if I had an IPAD 2!!

  419. I want one even though I’d have no idea how to use it!
    (my son can teach me)

  421. I want this. My husband is suffering from smart phone envy. He does not, in fact, want the phone part, just the smart part. I hope the random number generator picks me!

  425. This is one of those nifty gadgets that I’d love to have but could never justify spending the money on but if I WON it, you can bet that I’d quickly wonder how I ever lived without it!

  428. I would love to win the iPad 2!!! This is my first day reading your blog! LOVE IT!!! Thanks for my morning chuckle. Looking at iPad boyfriend wasn’t too shabby either!!

  429. I’d love to win this so my Apple-obsessed husband would SHUT UP ALREADY about wanting one.

  459. Ooooh, Catie loves iPad2 almost as much as she loves Bossy and that is A WHOLE HECK OF A LOT. With capslock on for emphasis.

  461. I would love to win an Ipad2…. how awesome I would be with this in my tote bag… please pick me

    debbebennett at yahoo dot com

  463. I’m thinking if I had one of these then I could quit worrying about whether I should buy an eReader. My nearly-70 year old aunt has one and she luuuuurves it.

  465. Yay for iPad giveaways!
    I always say, if the universe wants me to have an ipad, I will win one. And so, I enter.

  468. Yes please! Live in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, will pay for shippage myself. Gladly!

  471. Don’t have an blog and I’m too lazy to tweet, so here’s my comment. I’d love an ipad2, even my mom bought one.

  477. I don’t have any “i” stuff either. Would love to have this one. Thank you, Bossy.

    This be my only shot. Don’t tweet and let others do all the blog heavy lifting 🙂

  478. June 20th is my 24th wedding anniversary… this would be a very nice present for my not unwife wife…

  482. oh please… oh please
    I’m begging because I NEED one of these and I can not afford one!

  505. I’m new to you! And thrilled to be here. Not just ’cause of the giveaway. Really. I don’t have a blog, don’t tweet (I know, I’m living in the Dark Age still) but I’m happy to have found you (and would totally love the iPad!)

  506. My air conditioner broke tonight. It’s over 30 degrees Celsius (I live in Canada) and my dad is staying over. Also, I run a bed & breakfast and water was leaking in the kitchen. I could really use an iPad right now.

  517. I hope this get you lots more permanent traffic Bossy so you can blog more and more and more and exclusively 🙂

  518. Well, it seems worth a shot! And Bossy, you are TOO funny! Thanks for the chuckles.

  522. Bossy + Blog = Funny.
    Cecily + Brad Deals = Awesome
    Come On Random Number Generator!!

  525. Hey, I need an I Pad, 1, 2, whatever. MMM BOSS MMMBOSS, HERE COW, MMBOSS, ISN’T THAT HOW THEY CALL THE COWS?

  527. Thank you for choosing me to win an iPad2. What’s that? You say it hasn’t been decided yet? Oh, that’s okay. I still want to win.

  529. I would heart winning the iPad2 offered by Brad’s Deals on I Am Bossy so much! I’m pretty random myself………sooooo take me!

  531. WOW..Bossy..an i-pad..you have friends in high places!

    I think they should give bossy one ALONG with the winner. Then you can use it for another no-book tour with your boyfriend Harrison Ford.

  532. I’ve had my phone for nearly a year now, and I just figured out that I have a screen devoted to apps. Tiny, tiny, apps. I believe an iPad would be much better for my eyes (my iEyes?). If your iPad boyfriend would be willing to deliver an iPad to me, well, I’d be willing to grill corn on the cob for him. Fair trade?

  539. I don’t tweet…I have a photo blog only…But I promise to start tweeting, blogging, clean your house, or simply doing everything you want me to, if I win this IPad 🙂

  542. Hi Bossy! I never win these things but I’m in serious lust over the ipad so, fingers crossed! 😉

  544. I never win anything but it is worth a try. My son wants one for his birthday, so it would be awesome to win one.

  550. Would it help paint the bedroom or walk the dogs, or just give me a reason to not do either? 🙂

  551. I hope I’m the lucky winner — this would make a fabulous birthday gift for my nephew!

  552. hmmm, methinks an iPod2 would come in handy for spending more time out of doors instead of sitting at my desk in a not often used corner of the house.

  555. Shannon thinks Bossy is awesome for hooking up with someone who gives away Ipads. Shannon would be ETERNALLY grateful if the RANDOM number generator picked her!

  561. Since I am “old” and the eye sight isn’t what it used to be..and since I can crash a computor in a matter of second…I really wish for an ipad2…..I would love to show the youngsters how things can be accomplished!

  565. I don’t have a boyfriend, an IPad, OR an iPad boyfriend. This contest could fix ONE of those !!!

  566. I’m not sure that *I* want an iPad2, but my husband sure seems. I’d love to be able to give this to him for father’s day or his birthday. And it is kinda pretty…

  582. Oh Random Number generator, I like you so much, I love it when you pick me like that. I want you, I want you

  583. Oh Random Number generator, I like you so much, I love it when you pick me like that. I want you,.

  585. My husband’s iPAD–a gift from one of our sons–was stolen from my husband’s car last week. It would be wonderful to win this as a replacement.

  589. How cool is THAT! I want one too! What a hoot you are! You betcha, I’m in…now the rules, LOL! Let’s see if I can do it right! Thank you for a nifty contest! All for a comment!
    ~Amber-Lee

  592. I would really love to win an ipad. I am still without an iphone too. I need to have something to make my kids jealous!

  593. I have attempted to read a few pages on my iphone from a digital book, and my 41 year old eyes are struggling, and it’s all downhill from here. While I still enjoy the feel of a paper back book, I’d love to watch youtube and movies on your ipad. This is me, throwing my phillies cap in the ring 🙂

  596. I’m still of the camp (council?) that wonders how exactly an Ipad would be of use to me. But that being said, should I win one in a giveaway, such as this, I would happily try it out and report back all they ways it has enriched my life. You know, in the name of science and all.

  606. I would love to have an iPad2. Also, so would my children!! 🙂 Thanks for the chance!

  611. would love a new ipad so I can tell my husband to take his older ipad and shove it.

    hee!

  612. Oh PLEASE I would LOVE to win! I still don’t know what this Angry Birds thing is…or why my six year old says she is sure she can kick my butt playing it!

  613. Every. Single. Day. I look in the mirror and say “YOU CANNOT AFFORD AN IPAD” – but holy cow do I want one!!!

  616. I am bossy. My mom says so, my husband says so, and the personality tests I take in leadership training classes say so. What is this Bossy blog and why am I not the owner of it? I would love an iPad2. Give it to me, Bossy.

  618. I need one of these! Think of how entertained it will keep the kids!! Plus the virtual library thing is incredible!

  619. Perhaps the most creatively-written giveaway post ever. How appropriate, as the giveaway is the iPad2!!!!

  628. Oh a new blog to follow that makes me laugh – yeah. I would like an iPad now please.

  635. Social work student fixing to start her senior 140 page capstone I would love one.<3

  640. Want iPad

    (also would love to meet you next time there is a Philly bloggers thingamajig)

    (also part ii: this was a total bitch to type out on my phone)

  652. Love the photos in this post. Fav caption: speaking of the iPad, don’t you love sideburns? I don’t yet have an iPad and I don’t think I have sideburns. So I hope I win!

  653. Pick me please because I’m number 652 Random Number Generator..

    Also, iPad BF SO didn’t look like Jon Gosselin

  661. Oh the uses for an ipad.. Keeping children quiet in public. Ok it’s only one, I’m sure there are a million more, but I would adore getting my grocery shopping done without an epic meltdown each and every time!

  663. Spot on with the description of the Apple Store employee. Pretty much like every male who has ever assisted me there.

  666. OOOoooOOooo I would love an Ipad! Pick me, Pick me, oh random generator thingy.

  669. Oh man, I have wanted one of these since the first iPad which apparently isn’t as good at this second one.

    Either way I’d still love to win it.

  672. My grandson won’t let me play with his iPod touch please let me win the iPad.

  683. My mom has an iPad and I am constantly stealing it from her now that I’m graduating from college Saturday and living at home until I find the super-awesome job that is probably going to fall into my lap tomorrow (right, guys? Right?). So an iPad would pretty much be perfect.

  687. I don’t know why I enter all these darn things since I never win, but here’s another entry anyway!

  691. This would be super awesome. I’ve herd there are tons of ipad aps to help children with aspergers/autism so this would be awesome in our house!

  701. I’m relieved to know that iPad Boyfriend don’t look like Jon Gosselin in real life. He dodged a bullet!

  704. I am a teacher and I would love to win one of these for work. It’s a great teaching tool.

  706. It would make my husband so happy to have one of these, lol! Thank you for the awesome giveaway!

  714. Good golly Miss Molly! Over 700 comments so far! Wow the White House should give away a chance at an iPad if you read the whole budget bill.

  723. Oooh…random number generator, please pick me. My daughter w/special needs could then have Prologuo2go communication software…something I simply can’t afford to give to her as a single mom. Thanks for the opportunity, Cecily & Bossy! And to the sponsors, too! Off to tweet now….

  724. Almost reason enough to start a blog, just for the extra 10 chances! But I’ll manage with two…BRB with my tweet URL.

  726. Oh my god, if I could win an iPad then I wouldn’t have to buy my husband a Christmas present. And that is gift enough for me.

  727. If i win an ipad i would give it to my dad but since we share everything… I would “borrow” it. 🙂

  728. An iPad would be a dream,
    I’m on waiting lists and can’t find one, I scream…
    People go and buy them at the store,
    then I call and there are never anymore!
    I’d be so happy, grateful, glad…
    If an iPad would be myPad,
    I’d be in iHeaven YES!

  730. imagine that? i haven’t cheked my twitter account in 8 months. and i decide to do it today only to see Bossy’s iPad tweet.
    How sweet?
    I retweeted (my first retweet in 8 months)
    Has Bossy told U lately that she loves you.. w/ an iPad giveaway? http://t.co/qzuk3Fk Your odds are great! Thx #bradsdeals

  735. I would love an iPad!! One of those I really want but don’t need so hard to justify the expense. Is it one with 3G or not? Either way works for me!!

  751. I’m a tweet fail. I have no idea how to copy the URL to the tweet. But my twitter name is @cshmdonnareed. You can verify I tweeted it 🙂

  753. I love your post it was so funny. Like everyone else I would really love to win this. I have wanted an Ipad since they first came out.

  754. I need an IPad….I think they are many games I would like to play and wile away my time!

  758. I would love to win an IPad 2 because I love to surf, play games and read blogs. I would also use it to read books, magazines,m Rolling Stone, etc.Was referred to your blog by Pioneer Woman, another blog i frequently read.

  761. Having an iPad 2 would be great for college! It’s no fun cramming into the computer lab during summer school when it’s 87 outside!
    Thanks! 🙂

    (going to go tweet for another chance!)

  765. I didn’t even know there were iPad2’s yet. I’m still trying to save up enough to buy 2 or 3 iPads. But winning one would be good too, even if it’s a 2 not a 1.

  771. I don’t have a tweet or a blog, so I hope this one measley comment hits the jackpot!

  772. Oh. Oh My. I want one of those. My parents offered to buy one for my 3 year old for educational purposes (you should see the apps they have for teaching kids…). but I’m a little jealous. Too bad one isn’t in the budget for me!

  776. Oh, me me please!! Not sure how I could love your blog more if I won, but I sure would figure it out!!

  790. Oh, I must admit I have been oohing and ahhhing over the iPad 2. So I’ll throw my hat in the ring. Don’t have a real blog though (havne’t updated in year). Will have my hubby enter and tweet about it though!! THanks for having this, Bossy and Cecily.

  797. Woo hoo! I want one! Of course, I’m not sure how to work it, but that’s why I have tech-savvy friends!

  799. Brad is the best for offering us an opportunity to win an Ipad2
    and so are you , Miss Bossy.

  801. Oh great, now I really want an iPad and the chances of me winning are slim considering how many comments there are 🙁 Anyways, it was a good post featuring the beauty of the ipad2.

  807. wow awesome giveaway! u crack me up … oh please show me some love mr random.org!!!

  810. I have never even owned so much as an IPOD, and I desperately need a computer, and oh gee I hope it’s me!

  811. Hello Bossy, what a great giveaway! Even with your shamelessly flirting with your iPad boyfriend 😉 Wish me luck, I’m here to get my own iPad boyfriend!

  814. OK, the way I read it, I get one chance to win by commenting now. Yay! And I get 100 entries if I chop down that huge tree in your backyard. What? Oops…

  817. Yes, I’d love to win that I-pad. And I had to laugh that you have an I-Pad boyfriend now. Sometimes I have a water delivery boyfriend, but he’s not near as informative.

  823. Bossy is sooooo funny, love, love, love your posts. Would love, love , love an IPAD2!!!!!

  840. Oh lofty Random Number Generator,
    I beseech thee
    Pick me.

    I also wish I had a blog so could enter many, several, more times.

  844. I,m a grandma, and saw the kids and grandkids using theirs at christmas.Now I want one but grandpa says no.I would reaLLY LIKE TO WIN.

  849. Sweet balls of fire! I’m so flippin excited about this giveaway! Just this very night……I touched the ipad 2 for the first time ever. My hubby and I were out “on a date” and we stopped by Sam’s (yea, we party). I think I heard the brush of angels wings when I held it in my hands!

    NOW IT IS MY MISSION TO GET ONE OF MY OWN!!!
    Please……..random generator dude–PICK ME!!!

  866. wow-this would definitely beat surfing the web on my last-gen ipod touch when my lappy tanks. My aging eyeballs can’t take it any longa, captain!
    iPad boyfriend – i like it.

  878. Me! Me! Pick me! My nephew wants one so bad! It would be a pleasure giving this to him for his birthday!

  880. I’ve only seen them in other people’s hands and 1 at the library. I could use another way of keeping up with technology since taking my first keyboarding class in 2004.

  890. Oh, please, Random Number Generator, please, please pick me. I don’t twitter nor blog, but, oh, my, what I could do with an iPad! (I should win for the sheer number of commas in two sentences.)

  891. Brad’s Deals is giving away an iPad 2 on I Am Bossy, and all Bossy can talk about is boys, and here is my one comment. Stinking random number generator never picks me though.

  895. Unfortunately, I have no blog, and just the idea of Twitter causes my brain to fog over, but I sure would love an Ipad2! Does cute Ipad Boyfriend come with the giveaway?

  926. Dear Bossy, If I win the iPad 2, I would use it to start tweeting and blogging, thus increasing my chances of winning your next contest. Regards, Mike D (your favorite VUBOQ’s brother)
    P.S. (can you post script a blog comment? See how old school I am and how much I need an iPad 2?) Hope all’s well.

  944. Oh, this would be perfect for me right now. I can sell my laptop to my son and win a free ipad. I would be $350 richer that way. 😉 Pick me! Fingers crossed and maybe this would help me be able to type correctly, or maybe not. 😉 Love you Bossy.

  945. Phew, June 20th…just in time to get my one little measley entry in. Pick me, random number generator! Is a random number generator easily bribed?

  946. Thanks for such detailed info (with pictures!) of the ipad. The ipad 2 looks totally awesome!!

  948. My dear darling boy age 9 would like this because his mama has only an old, sad iphone so he can’t get angry birds. Thank you.

  949. My mother-in-law just raves about her iPad- and how a reader like me should have one too. I’d love to be on par with her 🙂 🙂 Thank you!!

  954. Wow-I have never been 940th at anything before. This is a whole new gig for me. The cameras intrigue me !~! and I grew u p in Valley Forge-does that count for anything ? thought not, oh well.

  958. oh what the hey…here’s a cast on the winds, and you need to hit a thousand because I like big round numbers.

  967. I found a link to your blog on the Pioneer Woman website…What a lucky girl am I? I would be even luckier if I won an iPad on my first visit.
    I look forward to reading more posts!

  968. Does Bossy’s ipad boyfriend come with it if I win? I’ll need somebody to show me how it works!

  982. 968 comments. One winner. I won a velvet painting of a horse once. Kind of pales in comparison… 🙂

  983. I won a radio contest in the 80’s by identifying Paula Abdul’s “Straight Up” in 2 notes!

  984. Gee — look at all these people who suddenly came outta the woodwork and onto your blog, Bossy! I’ve been here all along…does that count for something?? 🙂

  985. i don’t own anything with an i prefex

    no iPhone
    no iPod
    no iPad

    i hope i win, but i see 970 other hopefuls too!
