Hey folks. Need a favor. Help us win 5k for a teachers' lounge makeover. We are competing against mainly big Houston schools. Mattress Mack gives out 20 of these awards. We are in 22nd spot. We have until Nov. 14th to catch up. You can vote each day until then. Go to Gallery Furniture's facebook and vote for Hardin Elementary. Let me know if you do. Thanks.

I really appreciate you all doing this for us. We have a great group of teachers over here and this would be just awesome for them.

We you go to vote you will have to first "like" Gallery Furniture and then vote. You will have to "see all entries." We are currently the 22nd one listed.

You can vote each day until Nov. 14th!

They ranked in order of votes so far. We are on the 1st page and the 22nd school listed. They have given out the actual vote count twice and that is how it was arranged.

Thanks for voting.

Thanks again. We have less than half the staff most of these schools have. It is a wonder we are even this close to the top 20. Going to take a small miracle for us to climb those last 2 spots, but I think we can do it.

I voted this morning for my second vote. Saw it said you could do it and tried it. This evening, I clicked on it to vote and a box popped up where I had to retype two words, then it took it.

I'd say check back from time to time, if the check mark is gone, you can vote again.
Hupernikomen
10-24-2010, 08:49 PM
Yeah. When my wife votes after I vote, it always makes her type the two words.

I just got my 3rd vote in & it looks like they're back to 21st. I can't access it from work, so I'm no help there but will vote as often as I can from the house.
Hupernikomen
10-25-2010, 08:24 PM

Just voted from my work computer on IE.

Waiting for 9:30 to roll around so I can vote on firefox.

Voted twice on my old computer.

Voted once from my boss's computer...couldn't IE to come up on his.

Trying to get our spare computer to connect so I can vote twice from that one.

Tried another computer, but it's password protected.

Waiting for big boss to go to lunch and I can go vote on his.

All in all, I should be able to get 7 - 9 votes in from my office.

Thanks Sinton. We were hopped over by some school that gain 3 spots overnight..kinda fishy if you ask me.

But that does mean that the votes must be close b/t us and 20th now.

So vote away.

Found out we were one of 19 schools they disqualified for voting "irregularities". It seems we had several people clearing cookies and voting over and over. They decided with 24 hours to go that would actually pay attention to what people were doing. So basically we wasted 45 days of begging people to vote.

Thanks for all the help and you can bury these thread in the trash !!! :( :( :(
