Members of Reef Central:

My Uncle's fish has a chance to become Pet of The Year!!! He was winning at the start of the race, but now he is being creamed by every dog lover in Mokena! Please take a few minutes if possible to vote the poll I have put below. My Mother (she likes her brother can you believe that? ;) ), Uncle, Aunt and I would be thrilled if he won. He waited for 6 months to get this rare fish - you all know how that goes! - and got it for Christmas last year. It is his LIFE - again, you know how that goes. If possible, please send the web address to some friends. Make Pedro's dream come true and help this guy out please! Voting ends on January 3rd 2008. He only needs 90 more votes to tie!!

I appreciate all the support,

Marc

Thank you Pnosko! I thought it might work without me checking. I appreciate you telling me. I edited it, and now it should work.

Thanks!

Well someone has to be voting! Thanks for all of those who did! He now has 27 votes so still quite a bit more. Remember you can send it to friends or family too. Pedro appreciates it :).

I don't think you can vote twice. It worked in the beginning, but they changed it now. Although I believe if you have multiple computers, you can vote from each one.

Seriously, how can a fish be a pet of the year next to some of these dogs and cats? It would be like casting a vote for [BLEEP]! :p

Even then, there's so little information about each pet; hardly enough to make a choice.

Of course a fish can be PET OF THE YEAR! LOL. They select a pet every week, and then they pick 20 from the 52 from the whole year. But, in the newspapers, there is obviously more information about them, a whole article in fact. They realize that nobody just goes to read through them all, and pick one, at least not many people, they see that whoevers votes, was told to vote for that animal, because they are all so similar.

Thanks everyone,

Marc

Ok, Pedro is now in the lead.... in Mokena at least. My mother now wants me to let all of you know that there are 3 other papers. We could not vote in each one before, but it seems like that has changed. If you could be so kind and vote for Pedro in each of the following links. Hopefully, we can win the majority of the papers. Thanks and VOTE VOTE VOTE! :D

only letting me vote in one, gives me the results from the others if i click on them. What's up with that? It's like they don' t WANT us to cheat.

Well, at the library (yes, we went to the library to vote!! :) ) it let us vote in all. But right now, in OVERALL votes we are winning by 7!!!! In Mokena we are winning individually as well.

was able to vote again in the new lenox (77) and mokena (178) papers, but them bastages at the other papers must have some kind of new faangled Russian anti-cheating technology that is keeping me from voting every 5 minutes. 'Sup wit dat?

LOL - Well, it looks like they have postponed the contest until the 10th, they were going back and forth and each paper said one of the 2 dates, and their websites said the same, so it now seems to be the 10th which really stinks because the dog is going to pull ahead in time. We are now only ahead by 3 in overall votes.

Are we still voting? Pedro's up to 227 in one and 116 in the other. What do we win? Does pedro get a free newspaper subscription?

Tbar100
01/05/2008, 09:52 AM
Yes, we are voting until the 10th. It was suppose to be the 3rd but they changed it. I don't know what he wins' but I believe there are actually nice prizes. How many times have you voted? And are you voting from the same computer each time?
