Holiday voting complete (by New Years day it’s all over, eh). Should count as a vote and a half. Back to workday voting tomorrow.

I just noticed that we moved from #17 to #16 a few minutes ago. I am beginning to believe that we are tightly packed in the #14-#18 ideas…not knowing the exact number of votes has it’s advantages, but this is certainly a disadvantage.

Yeah, Monday morning means other groups are back to the grind again for some of the groups who probably have a better voting block on weekdays. But if our group here and some other groups that my wife has continue to keep voting daily, I believe we should be ok.

When you guys vote, please try to leave a comment like this (or you can cut and paste this one):

> [@](#):
>
> One more week…let’s keep voting and texting for each others idea…please text 110111 on Pepsi (73774) and vote for [Refresh Everything](http://refresheverything.com/refresheverythingcom-smart-board-for-autism). Have a wonderful day!

The exposure you give us will help get us additional help from other people supporting other ideas to return a vote to us. I noticed a couple of you have done it (YAY!), but we need more exposure to insure a spot in the top 20…other groups have been doing it…if you got the means, give it a shot…it takes a few extra seconds.

And thank you my Fellow Dopers…we wouldn’t be in this spot without your help!

I’m showing we’re at 15. I think you’re right…there’s probably a tight grouping with similar resources right around there.

I just found this thread and voted for the first time, just before midnight. In a moment I will try to see if they will already let me vote for today.

Yeti–our kids have so much to offer to the world. My son [Anson](http://ansonartstudio.com/) is a wonderful artist–especially his paintings.

He has recently benefitted from auditory training and neuro-feedback therapy, despite coming upon these advancements rather late in the game (Anson is now 27). Never give up hope and keep looking for that next breakthrough that will help them to have a more ‘normal’ life!

Wow! terrific art - the tiger, the zebras, the portraits - loved the dragons too. And the swimming pool.. well, gotta go vote!
