Comping on autopilot

Options
Who else comps without thinking? I find my mind can easily drifts onto other things and before I know it I've entered comps for handbags nylons and heels.

And before you ask, I gave up wearing those things years ago.
It was only a weekend thing anyhow. :o;)

    Comping on autopilot is easy.

    I often post comps on autopilot & look at what trouble befalls me :D

    I always comp that way. There are key words that take the brain out of 'sleep mode' for a short time (effort, caption, comment). But generally I do it on auto. Have to, am here for too many hours a day to give it full attention.

    Having said that, I don't think I often enter for things I would regret winning.

    Sometimes I'm not sure what a prize is and if I think it will be quicker to enter than to check, I will do that.

    We'll chant if we have to...

    Mclarkie, show us your legs!
    Mclarkie, Mclarkie, show us your legs!

    (Although, I'm not so bothered about seeing the handbag, perhaps)
