Here’s what’s on my FB: We’ve slipped from 13 down to 17 and we have till the 31st to try to win this thing. If you have an autistic child or know of someone who does, please help my friend and his wife. Thanks Quasi ETA: Sorry, I didn’t scroll up. I know now it’s 18. ---

Thanks, Quasi! And thanks all for the votes…every single one helps! I did [google pepsirefresh + cheating](http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&source=hp&q=pepsirefresh+cheating&pbx=1&oq=pepsirefresh+cheating&aq=f&aqi=g-l1&aql=&gs_sm=s&gs_upl=0l0l1l3161l0l0l0l0l0l0l0l0ll0l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=d6b7c50fe1987ca1&biw=1680&bih=907) and there has been some shennanigans going on over the last couple of years…and some of it has been done by animal shelters. I guess when there is money to be given away, people try to cheat the system. Now, I am not blaming ALL animal shelters, but there are a few above us that have small facebook numbers, small tweet numbers, very few comments and very little commentary on their websites wrt pepsirefresh. Here’s hoping Pepsi sees through this and their 3rd party auditors pick up on this when the voting is done…still, it makes our family household full of nailbiters for the next week. ---

Hey! What a nice day it’s been! Back up to #14!!! We invited some neighbors over last night for a little (read: lot of) Christmas Spirits…:p…and we told them some more about my wife’s idea (she tells everyone she sees about it now because it has permeated our entire waking day), and he he’s a retired marine who is now a recruiter…he’s going to spread the word (order) to vote for the idea starting today. After several drinks, we made a bet…if we get into the top 5, my wife will drink a beer (she hates the taste and smell of it) and I will have to shave off my mustache or grow into a goat (her choice)…I’ve had [this mustache](http://www.nouilles.info/sdpix/31728.html) since 1982…almost 30 years. The neighbor said he will get us there with his votes…we shall see. If we do make it to the top five, I will have to post the result over in the SDMB pic site (shaved will show up sooner than goat, for obvious reasons)… Now, my fate is also in your hands, my fellow Dopers! If you want my hairlip gone, keep voting! ---
