CMO TOP 10 Announced

[Calliaz]

You are welcome to take it for what you wish. I was only kidding around. Calliaz PMd me and I confirmed the assumption of the voting method. It was only one upsmanship in fun, Calliaz didn't seem to have any problems with my post. Not all our jokes are always a success. I am not able to vote while away from my computer.

Just to clarify, I always got the joke. I did post my own warning about using software to circumvent the code. I did it for the same reason you wanted to ensure that The Powers That Be didn't think you were cheating. Not only do we not want to cheat, we don't want anyone to think we are cheating.

I could see how Kenny's tone could be misinterpreted, but I also understand where he was coming from. I never would have figured out the secret without knowing it was possible via Kenny. It was fun figuring it out. I did hold back on sharing out of deference to Kenny.

Can we all just chalk this up to the limitations of tone within the written word and be happyish campers?

In the interest of full disclosure, here are my full instructions:

You need to have the Opera browser (as opposed to Internet Explorer). I have version 9.21 and can only guarantee it works with that version. You can download the current version free from: http://www.opera.com/download/

Once you have the browser, it is really simple:

1. Go to the voting page through the direct link (see below)
2. Type in the code and hit Enter
3. Wait for the “Thank You for Voting” page
4. Hit Backspace
5. Hit Enter and wait for the “Thank You for Voting” page
6. Hit Backspace
7. Repeat ad nauseum

What should happen is that the browser maintains the old code in the box, so you’re just voting with the same code each time. In addition, the browser shouldn’t clear the code entry box, so there is no re-typing required.


List:

Justin
Meggin
Patrick
Tripp
Amy Kate
Wotruba
Hawley
Karrie
Tangela
Jennifer

Sure Meggin! The more the merrier!

And if memory serves, you tied for 2 in the DISbate, and got at least 34 of my votes!

Send pic or link pic I should look at to get started with. Oh, and tell me what color/colors you like as a background.

Cat

hooray!!! thank you so much!! i'll send you a picture straight-away ooh, and i've love "disney celebration blue" as my background color, if that's ok!!

thanks again for the disbate votes!! i just didn't want to put in an awkward cat-o-tar request if you would consider it a conflict of interest!!

yayYayYAY!!!

meggin

"HMF! Pack your bags.....we're leaving!"





kidding

Where are we going? Please tell me its Disney World....

 

[HauntedMansionFan]

Dude, it's one thing to tick off everyone's favorite mom, but if you and HMF leave does that mean I have to live with Eric?? He doesn't make pancakes like you (even though I rarely get a bite because "someone" hogs the plate! *cough* *cough* HMF*!!))

Well that is because you keep stealing all the bacon.

 

[HauntedMansionFan]

And if Mrs. Fleagle walks out, she'll hear from my lawyer about custody of HMF.

Daddy Warbucks, no!!!!!

Man it is late.... I went out to dinner and a movie with some friends.... got home late and caught a second wind..... now I can't sleep.

 

[HauntedMansionFan]

Calm down boys....I'm not leaving forever! Just giving myself a time out....and HMF can't be left unattended.

mom

It is true.

 

[HauntedMansionFan]

NICE! Sorry Fleagles, I might be moving out! Law of survival really . . . less competition for food with Ann!

I promise to come back and visit though!

Good.... more pancakes for me..... **** sticks his tongue out at Justin ****


Yay for having multiple posts at 3 am.

Mission Space
Final note: The whole thing is so incredibly well done that I almost can't believe it. If you want to give yourself over to it, you can really believe you are training for a Mars trip. (Happens to me every time)

It is funny you say that, my "read" father enjoyed Mission Space. For the longest time, longer then I can remember, he always wanted to be an astronaut and go into space.... so for him this was the next best thing. He took his role very seriously, pressed all the buttons, and played with all the switches..... he loved it.

g'nite john-boy!

So here is something of interest..... I was catching up on the voting drama.... so I tried this new method myself. Well imagine my surprise when I hit enter and I didn't get the "Thanks for voting"..... I just got a new code to punch in immediately. So did they change the way votes can be entered? Or are the votes I put in just not counting.... it was weird. I didn't have to hit the backspace or anything.... just enter and the new code appeared, but I did have to click my mouse into the box to enter in the digits.

I'm under the impression that the votes only register if you see the "Thanks for voting . . ." page. I am certainly not a technology whiz (as we've discussed ad nauseam throughout this!) but that is what I've been lead to believe.

SO, if you were voting for me (please!), make sure you see that "thanks for voting .. . " message. If you weren't voting for me, click away!



Oh, and sorry about taking all the bacon. I can't help it . . . If you're not up yet after your late night out, the eggs smell really good!

Calliaz said something about needing a different browser in order for her shortcut to work. I'm an internet explorer guy over here, so I can't confirm anything . . .

 

[Mrs. Fleagle]

UH-OH! (I hope that wasn't her only blankie -- or her favorite blankie, either! ) Otherwise, that could have made for a very long night and a very long car-ride home! (As a mother, I speak from experience... )

From what I remember it WAS her only blanket..... I think that's why I still have the memory of peering down into the tank and just crying. My grandmother made all of us these "silky" blankets and I remember them so well! I'm not sure how many tears or tantrums ensued, but it sure was a sad moment. I think she's over it by now...she's 32, but oddly enough she STILL sleeps with a white stuffed seal that she got from that same trip.

 

[Mrs. Fleagle]

No pancakes for breakfast today guys. I'm making eggs, bacon, english muffins, fresh squeezed juice.......and NO hash!

There's enough for everyone, so Pirate won't you join us? Enough bear hugs to go around.......


Feel the love.... Kum ba ya

 

[Justin M]

Good morning, Mrs. Fleagle! Thanks for breakfast!

I was told by CB last year that the votes only count if you "see the thanks for voting screen."

[Mrs. Fleagle]

Beautiful day here in Virginia....70º and sunny! Going outside to enjoy it!

 

[Justin M]

Have a great day everyone! As usual, I'll try to pop in later in the day to make sure too much chaos hasn't broken out in my absence!

See ya!

ooohhh, that's nice. We actually hit 65 yesterday, but it's going to rain all day and drop back to the low 40's here. Want to trade???
