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

Thu Aug 19 17:45:35 UTC 2010

Donna and others 

Actually, I've tried the second option, facebook and could not get it to
work. so --- each time I've enlisted  the assistance of my wife and did the
Pepsi way- I chalked up my failure on the facebook option to my recent
stroke and my weakness and some-what lower brain power to figure out what
was going wrong. 

so hey --- anyone else out here that has made the FaceBook thing work? I
click on the URL in the second option and do not ever see where I can "log
in" to facebook. I find the link to vote, hit on it and get the captcha
thing- again, finding the auditory thing to much for my brain, I use my
wife's eyeballs.

(Sorry for not being helpful.)

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?
