Theowl | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 07:56 am     Starting after tonights show, start calling to keep Maria in!! She's been UTR, so PLEASE call in for her. The Animals Need YOU!!!!  |
Fluffybbw | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 08:09 am     Okay Owl! I think that's a great idea! We can start to call at the beginning of the hour, right? |
Theowl | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 08:39 am     I'm not sure, Fluffy. I'll check my tape. DIALING FOR DOGGIES!!! CALLING FOR KITTIES!!!
 |
Theowl | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 08:56 am     I checked my tape, but they were still taking calls for the bushtucker for tonight. I guess just watch from the beginning tonight, and start calling 1-866-411-4081!!!! as soon as the polls open. OK???  |
Fluffybbw | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 09:31 am     No problem, thanks TheOwl! |
Sisalou | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 10:27 am     Count me in. I like animals and Maria! |
Pamy | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 10:33 am     I agree, I like her charity best, but Make a Wish is a close 2nd. I will vote to keep her. |
Theowl | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 10:37 am     YAY!!! We've got a Maria and Animals Fan Club going!!! Thanks Fluffy and Sisalou and Pamy!! VOTING FOR VERMITS!!!
 |
Julieboo | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 10:44 am     Yay! I was hoping more people would vote for the animals!!! Plus Maria has been very nice. I liked it when she said they could all learn from this experience and how so many more people have it so much worse then they do right now. (Meanwhile most of the rest are bitchin' about how bad it is for them...) |
Theowl | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 10:46 am     Yay Julieboo!! I like the way she's not bitching about the rain, or food or anything. She's there just for her charity and maybe the "experience".  |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 02:19 pm     I don't want to be a wet blanket and I adore animals, but.. HSUS may not be the best use of money. I used a website http://www.charitynavigator.org to look up all the charities. They rate the efficiency of the charities from zero to four stars. Of the charities actually evaluated, HSUS got only one star. God's Love We Deliver also got one star. CityMeals on Wheels - NY got three stars City of Hope got three stars Make-A-Wish Foundation got three stars Just food for thought.. you can go to the site and compare and contrast charities. I think for me the winning combination is Cris or Melissa and Make-A-wish. (you could use Tones for Turtles, Punching for Parrots) |
Hippyt | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 02:38 pm     busy! |
Grooch | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 02:43 pm     Sea, I just went to that site. I checked out the HS in my area. It received 4 stars, but I won't ever give it a fricking dime. I would rather give my money to almost any other animal shelter or rescue than this one. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 02:50 pm     Ohhh Kay |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 03:04 pm     By the way, the website says voting starts right after the show ends tonight.. not saying that this is correct because, as we know, they keep changing challenges on us, so they can change anything, but I'd hate for anyone to be voting for Maria to have to do the Bushtucker trial tomorrow (the vote that started last night). Don't want to see her suffer. |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 04:12 pm     I probably won't vote but if I do it won't be for the charity it will be for the person I want to win my vote. I haven't watched enough know who I like yet. I will pay attention tonight. |
Bastable | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 05:12 pm     I'm voting out that whiny Brittany! |
Ryn | Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 05:34 pm     lol bastable |

Fluffybbw | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 06:11 am     Okay Owl, someone on this thread had mentioned that if you call as soon as the show starts you have a better chance of getting through, and that's what I did and I got to vote 15 times for Maria!! Then about 5 minutes into the show, her line was busy. I waited for 1/2 hr. after the show ended and voted a few more times, I also voted for Alana, I really don't want her to be the first to go!! Since Maria's line was so busy I'm hoping that means she stays! |
Julieboo | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 10:58 am     I'm calling to vote Maria, for both her charity and the way she's been so nice. |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 03:45 pm     I'll vote for Maria because I like her. |
Scootersmom | Wednesday, February 26, 2003 - 05:32 pm     I voted for Maria; I like her so far and I really love animals too! |
