A Sad Message to You All

After a great deal of thought, I have decided to stop participating in the GSN Oodles program effective October 31st. I've been posting here for a little over a year (this is my 1000th post) and have become more and more discouraged with the whole GSN program.

I want to thank all of you who have been here with me for a wild and fun run. Your comments and messages have been a joy to read. I have thoroughly enjoyed this whole experience.

My last post will be the Question of the Day and Trivia on October 31st. I will leave the blog in place so that it will still be accessible by everyone to get the answers that are available.

Once again, my great thanks to all of you for being here and I hope, someday, to have another blog you may be interested in.

Rowdydog.

  1. It's gonna be tough. I'm about a year behind you tho as I'm getting my answers from Nov 2009, except the live which I was getting from you. I'm about tired of it, too!

    Take care.

  2. RowdyDog,

    I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all you have done for us. By posting the answers, it really helps us answer the questions FASTER. You will be missed and again THANK YOU, for all you have done for us.

  3. I am so sorry to hear that you won't be posting anymore, but I agree with you that GSN has "gone down hill" for lack of a better phrase.

  4. Hey there, I am truly sorry to see you leave us.
    Thank you so much for all your time keeping us all in the know.
    Good luck in all you do. Will anyone be taking your place?
    Happy holidays.

  5. Hi! I've never commented before, but I wanted to quickly say thanks for all of the help you've given us. I only found this blog a couple months ago, so I'm sorry to see you go, but I wanted to thank you for all of the time you've saved me. It's been so much appreciated. Take care, and good luck with everything!

  6. We will miss you.
    Can I ask how you get the answers to the GSN Live Result questions?

  7. Sorry to see you go Rowdydog...it has been a pleasure and thanks for all of the entertainment as well as your hard work in posting your blog. I like you have also become disillusioned with GSN.

  8. How do you find out the answers to the daily game show trivia questions?

  9. You're going to be missed! The days that I'd miss GSN I knew that I could find my answers here. Thanks for all your help!

  10. Rowdydog, WOW I'm still in shock after reading your message. First let me say thank you for all the hard work that you have done with this blog, it must have been a grind at so many times. That hard work did show, this is a very well run blog and you have done so much to keep it interesting with the recent addition of Madcaps and the survey. I have been following you from almost the start and it's been fun to watch the blog grow and change. You've shared with us some of your personal life with your move to Dallas and the new job. Again something that made this so much more than just about Oodles. Boy I understand your frustration with GSN. I've thought so many times myself about calling it a day too, but then they do something to reel me back in again. GSN seems to be stocking better prizes again, iPods, BlueRay players and I even saw a Walmart card in the Kitchen Sink the other day. I hope that you might reconsider, this really again is so much more than just about GSN. I wish you the best, and if I may be so bold to call you my friend, we have never met but like so many of us I feel like a bond has been formed because of the very reason you are ending this, GSN. Ahh, the glass is half full rather than half empty after all. Stay well, A long time fan and follower.

  11. Thanks to all of you for your comments.

    Just remember that the blog will stay up so that those of you who still need answers can find them here.

    As for the GSN live answers, there were some I was able to guess at, some I figured out because I've seen the episodes so many times and some I took a wild stab at. No big secret method there.

  12. Oh Noooo! Say it isnt so!! I sure will miss you and think of you as a good friend who is faithfully there for me everyday. I thank you greatly for all you have done for all of us. I wish you the very best and hope you will drop a post once in awhile to let us know how you are doing. So long Rowdydog! Love ya!!

  13. Hi,

    We are going to miss you. What are we going to do now!!!!! I don't get home from work until 7pm
    thanks,

  14. Anyone suggesting another place for finding gsn live answers?

    Rowdydog. We will sure miss you and thank you for the efforts you have done so far. Let us know your new hobbies.

  15. How do you play the trivia questions? Ive looked everywhere and still cant find where to play?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Thanks Rowdydog for everything you have provided. It's a great way to get the answers quickly and not have to guess. I totally agree with you! GSN used to give away a lot of cool prizes and you could make Oodles in a lot of ways! Now they keep taking away the opportunities and give crap prizes. It's funny to see Bob Guiney get excited about giving away a $50 movie card. Anyway, thanks again for everything - it's been a fun ride. Good luck!!

  17. Is there anything we can say to make you stay? How about you are our light (as in Dangerous Minds)? Thanks for everything and PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DONT LEAVE US!

  18. You know, bro. Your blog helped me get a Blu-ray player, some gift cards, and a new pair of headphones. I just wanted to say thank you and hopefully someone will keep us going for the GSN live posts. I may quit myself and just spend the 335,000 or so I have left on other things.

  19. I just want to say like all the others thanks for all your time and effort. You will be truly missed. I agree GSN has really gone down in the quality of the prizes they are giving away now. They really spoiled us in the early days. Again thanks and good luck in all u do.

  20. We sure do appreciate all the Posts & Help with the Live answers etc. What ever will we do now for the Live Answers? You will be greatly missed! I along with the rest ask that you hang in there with us & see if GSN improves!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Thank you for your effort, I am one of the many people in your debt for your work, and greatly appreciate it. I have thought about quitting as well. It will be interesting to see how man of us follow your lead. I have been saving my oodles also because there hasn't been much of anything to get recently.

  22. I too have to say you'll be missed. They've really gone downhill and I'm not as into it myself. Just remember to get some gum (what was that about?) before you quit!!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Thank you for all of your own personal time that you've spent in helping others with these answers. Greatly appreciated.

    ReplyDelete
  24. oh noooooooooooooo,but thank you for all the time you spent with us we really really appreciated.THANK YOU SO MUCH AND GOOD LUCK ON EVERYTHING YOU DECIDE TO DO.THANKS:(

  25. Thanks! I started this program to earn $0.50 from some other site, and now I have earned a game of apple to apples, GSN may have taken the road to the grave, but at least post the answers for us who only need a few more oodles. (And i speak for quite a few people!)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Thanks Rowdy, This has been a very generous and selfless thing you have done. As time has passed I feel I have grown to know you as a person and as others have said feel you are a friend. I'm sure I'll survive any loss of answers, but it won't be the same without you. G'luck buddy.

  27. Thanks Rowdy, I have been following you for over a year now and have come to rely on your blog for the dwindling number of 10-pointers as well as the GSN Live answers when I haven't been able to watch. I started out saving for a TV when it seemed attainable and since late last year have collected several gift cards due in part to your assistance. I hope you can cash in some of your Oodles for decent prizes.

  28. Thanks for all the help, you are a sweetie~!

  29. I, like everyone else will miss you terribly. You have literally made doing this fun and now once you are gone, I will no longer participate either. Thank you for all you have done for us and for posting the answers and making it alot easier on all of us. You will be sadly missed.

    Regards,
    Pearl

  30. I thank you too! My days are numbered. It's been eight months and 250,000 OODLES for me with two crummy gifts just for the heck of it. Once I can get a decent gift with my balance, I'm out of here.

  31. Thank you for the hard work, but all is not lost there is another site that posts the GSN Live, Question of the Day results...I think you should post this link to the main blog before you call it quits

    I will miss you, but for now I think this will be for the best.

    Thanks again!
