[stylist] Voting for Pepsi- For our Youth SLAM Grant

[Donna Hill]

Robert,
I don't text, so I was happy to see these other options. I don't know if 
my votes took or not, however. The log in with Facebook had a curious 
blurb suggesting that if I did use it, I would be agreeing that I had 
read the terms of the contest. I linked to it and it was quite long, and 
appeared to be for people who want a grant. I didn't have time to read 
the whole thing, but I wonder if you are giving them permission to 
advertise on your Facebook page?  Anyway, I chose the option to log in 
with Pepsi, Since I didn't have a password I left that radio button 
checked, but didn't receive a standard form for establishing a new 
password -- you know, the kind where you enter it twice.  BTW, I made 
the mistake of refusing a third-party tracking cookie using IE8 and 
although I managed to get the audio captcha correct -- it was one of the 
old garbled ones -- I still couldn't complete the process. I ended up 
using Firefox, but still didn't get a chance to establish a password 
with Pepsi, so who knows what happened to my vote.

I wonder if others are having similar problems, or do you all have cell 
phones?
