Thanks, I think that everyone is counted as a winner. I think that the word nominee is used in case the person doesn’t want to do it. Glad you decided to take part, some great answers.

Yes, it is fun, okay, that explains the “nominate”… great, I think it is an honor to be nominated from another blogger, that means people actually read the nonsense I write sometimes! 😀 Thanks again!
