[yfdgricker]

Hi everyone,

I know I don't usually do this kind of thing but every once and a while, and for good reason, I do.

Jamie is a good friend of mine and a member of this forum (jme2stx). He is a city firefighter at Station 6 on the east side and one of the nicest guys you'll ever run into.  
As fate would have it, he met Carissa and the two are now engaged. They also are now one of 4 finalists in the WFMJ Today wedding contest. They could win a $65,000 all expenses paid wedding and honeymoon.

Votes are being accepted at the WFMJ Today Web Site at http://www.wfmj.com/Global/category.asp?C=93520&nav=menu491_4_2

Votes are only being accepted untill 11pm DST on Saturday, March 24th. Please take 30 seconds and put a vote in for them. They are couple #1 Carissa Smith and Jamie Goodlet.

More details about their story can be found at http://www.youngstownfire.com/wedding

If you would like to wish the newly engaged couple congratulations or good luck please feel free to post it here BUT ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE VOTED FOR THEM!!!!

Vote First, Congratulate Second!

Thanks to everyone and let's get Carissa and Jamie a wedding they will never forget!

P.S. Please, please, please send this to other people. Cut and paste this, write your own message up, whatever it takes but please have your friends and family help out Jamie and Carissa.

Other people, myself included, have noticed they don't seem to have anything in place to filter multiple voting from the same IP addresses. It is possible that they just get all the votes, duplicate and all, in a list. They can then pop the list into Excel and filter unique values. Viola, in 5 seconds you have a list of all of the unique IP addresses voted from. I use that 'technique' when programming the Ohio MARCS system in my scanner. Grab all the channels. throw them into a column in Excel and filter for unique frequencies.

Hi,

I voted for the happy couple and now I have a question, but first, congratulations, I wish you all the best.  Now the question.  Since I voted do I get cake?

I voted today too!  All the "gentle" nudging from Greg paid off I guess.
