a winner!
it's damned good i didn't have to choose a winner based on why you wanted the discount, because so many of you told stories that made me all warm inside. you guys are good people.
instead, i did as i said, and went to the random number generator. plugged in 57 as the total (inclusive, of course) and the number it chose?
so the 12th comment gets it...and that's Sarah! [what's your e-mail address?]**
thanks to everyone who commented. i knew there were more lurkers hanging about. hi to you all!
**p.s. Sarah is currently unreachable. If I don't hear from her by Friday morning, I'll pick a new winner! Because dangit, this code needs to get in the hands of another bag ho. :-)
