ROUND 2: Lindsey Needs Your Vote!

edited 2010-10-26 10:29 in General Discussion
First, I promise not to pester the Forum to the degree that I did last month about voting in the Gerber baby contest. I don't want to wear out my welcome here, Amy did quite well getting 1506 votes! Probably aware that their online voting system had security issues, Gerber has made voting a more difficult 2-step process. Every day you vote, they send you a confirmation email with a link to finalize your vote. GROAN. Lets see if little Liam get 4400 votes in September!

Of last month's contest, several people said "that was fun", or "let's get 4000 votes next month", so God bless their enthusiasm. Even I don't have energy to rally the troops like last month, but out of deference to those nice folks and making an "equal effort" for our twin girls, I'll give it the old college try.

We're starting from just TWO votes today, the first day of voting. IF you have the energy to vote for our sweet little Lindsey, please go to

Lindsey and all of us thank you for your support!

    erco,

    Buy these shirts now, while they're still available, and put them away for the girls to grow into!

    Copy & paste, XLNT, PhiPi! Lindsey might prefer a shirt with ESC on it. She is getting good at walking up to me stealthily (?) when I'm nearly done typing a post, and reaching her sweet little hand up and pressing the ESC key, which erases everything.

    Cute AND annoying. And so our journey begins...

    Here's what I get to see every day. Amy left, Lindsey right, looking up at me. A great reason why my killer app robot is way behind schedule.

    Can you blame me?

    Hi Ecro,

    Hang in there! I agree with the others that we should push hard for Lindsey this month... after all, we're all primed and are starting from the beginning. I'm legally voting twice a day, once from home and once from work.

    I'm committed for the month... who else is in??!!!

    GO LINDSEY GO!

    Hmm, the video is not on Parallax's YouTube page.

    The braking looks to work really well. Will you be posting a how-to?

    Sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean the official Parallax page, just my Parallax-related (instead of baby-related of late) Youtube video.

    Sure, I can share a how-to, once I'm sure that braking both wheels with one relay is the right way to go.

    Groan! Someone is going to have to be awfully determined to lean the new voting sequence. Vote, I am 13, security code, email, confirmation email. Wow.

    @Spiral: Yes, I agree. I think Liam's gravy train is derailed!

    No soup for him!

    We could use a few votes, it's been a slow week and there's usually even less activity over the weekends!

    166 votes now. Thanks for your support!

    I just voted....Wow, that security check thing is annoying....I mean your voting for a baby, not passing along secret information.

    # 170 - erco I have noticed that they send a confimation email after you vote (that you have to click on each time for your vote to count) unlike the last contest with Amy. So I hope everybody is clicking on the confirmation email link every time they vote for Lindsey!

    Yes, I started this thread with a description of their new PITA process. I wonder if anyone will break 1000 with the new system.

    Thanks for your vote!

    Thanks, everybody! 247 votes now. I just received this email reply from Gerber about the contest:

    "The voting process changes were put in place to discourage unfair voting practices that were brought to our attention in the early weeks -- those very practices that caused the validation of the June votes to take so long. We also hope you understand all approved photo submissions are eligible for the Grand Prize, regardless of the number of votes received, so working to get votes is not necessary to participate in the Photo Search. It’s also worth noting that we are not using any e-mails received from voting for marketing purposes."

    So they know their online voting is suspect. Nonetheless, I'm proud of the strong and fair support you have given my girls, and we'll press on to the end of the month. With some luck, I think we can hit 600 votes this month, and then GET ON WITH OUR LIVES! Thanks again, every vote gets us closer to 600.

    I hope I didn't bring the # down - I show my latest vote at 252 after Whit's 349 - by the way erco, how do you tell the twins apart? RFID tags maybe?

    289 votes now, that's right on track. If we pass 300 today, we're halfway to our goal of 600, halfway through the month. THAT might just wake Lindsey up in the baby jogger(photo) ! Please keep voting!
