> [@Reepicheep](#): > > Voted, still at 15. 15 still gets money – but I would feel better if we cracked single digits. Also voted for the other two teams, and left messages telling them that I was voting from Smart-Board-For-Autism. > > We will get a smart board for Liam’s class! 😃 Thanks again all! What you all are doing means alot to my wife and myself and someday hopefully, Liam will understand that as well. Just as an aside, what other great ideas have you seen that you love to vote on? I of course am biased towards the autism ideas, but that doesn’t mean that you have to vote strictly for ideas related to smart boards or autism…I know some of you are hardcore animal lovers…others, music lovers…and yet others…well…[Kansas lovers?](http://www.refresheverything.com/made-in-kansas) ---

I have decided to forgo Christmas this year in order to keep voting. Although family members are begging me to go to festivities I say, “Fuck off. I’m spending the holidays voting [here.](http://www.refresheverything.com/refresheverythingcom-smart-board-for-autism#)” Now of course this is hyperbole but lots of people will fail to vote over the holiday period, let us not fall into that trap. Set an alarm or just pick a time of day that you will vote - every single day. And Merry Christmas to you all. ---

Yeah, wifey had a rude awakening this morning…was at #17, then back to #16 later this morning…I see another Animal Shelter that came out of nowhere charging up the ranks…wonder if something scandalous is going on over there. Now after the 12:30pm (PST) update, the shelter that was #15 is now at #17, switching with First Robotics…leaving us at #16. Goofy. ---

This is crazy…now we dropped to #18…with more animal shelters coming out of nowhere with less numbers and comments than my wife’s idea. Something’s fishy. ---
