    So, you're not voting? You can always delete your account. Looks like a great cause, I hope they get their van!

    I have the 6th marked on my calendar. I am on Facebook and get daily tidbits from HSHV. That's where I heard about Barley.

    I already blow away enough time on line, and all I need is something like Facebook for a real time sink! Plus I keep hearing about people's accounts getting hacked, their identities stolen, viruses spread through it, all kinds of spam, etc., etc., etc.

    If it really is that easy to delete your account, maybe I'll sign on to it on August 5, vote on August 6, and then delete the account. !

    Please please please vote for the Chicago Zoological Society on August 8 -- our beloved Brookfield Zoo
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    I'm backing out of this contest/voting. It seems that in order to vote, one must agree to the following -

    Toyota 100 Cars for Good is requesting permission to do the following:

    *
    Access my basic information
    Includes name, profile picture, gender, networks, user ID, list of friends, and any other information I've shared with everyone.
    *
    Access my profile information
    Current City
    I don't feel comfortable doing this.

    Uh oh.. I didn't know about that.

    That's way over the line. I wouldn't want to do it either under those conditions. I'm going to let them know at the Humane Society too, after I have a chance to look into that more.

    That's too bad. This is such a good cause.

    You should encourage them to apply for a pepsi grant. They can apply the first four days in August for September's contest. The application can be found here: http://www.refresheverything.com/off...ion-guidelines

    They can apply for 5K (20 grant recipients), 10K (15 grant recipeints), 25K (15 grant recipients) or 50K (10 grant recipients).

    If they do and get in, be sure to let us know. I'll jump onboard and call in the troops

    Pat, I just sent HSHV an email about this. Asked if there is any other way to cast a vote for them without giving out so much info. Will let you know if I hear back.

    Most apps on facebook require access to all your "everyone" information. It's just part of it. Even having games like farmville, or taking quizzes give you that alert before you can allow the app on facebook.

    That is the reason I don't play any of the games, nor participate in any quizzes.
