oops, double post

[confusedks]

I VOTED! I hope more people will. And, who needs MORE pet magazines?

[pixiegirl]

I'm a huge pet lover as well, but I totally agree, there are so many different pet publications. I voted for the allergy one of course and it was winning but not by a whole bunch so please go vote! There are so many different allergies/food sensitivites that I believe this would have a huge readership, especially if done by Martha Stewart.

To my email buddies: All of you know that I rarely send out "mass" emails or jokes or stuff like that. I get them, read them and sometimes pass them along, but that's rare for me.

Today's email is to ask you to go into the Martha Stewart magazine site and vote on behalf of me and my husband that her magazine should add more information about food allergies and food intolerances.

As many of you know, Mike has been suffering with this for many, many years and I can attest there's just not enough information or publications out there about it. the General Public is so in the dark about Celiac Disease.

So your help in voting on this would be most appreciated by all celiacs like Mike. Perhaps if there was more publications about food intolerances, more restaurants and food manufacturers would be more agreeable to make their products "gluten free." And as a result there would be more food choices and restaurants for celiacs like Mike to go to - and the further result would be that we could finally take a vacation after so many years as restaurants would be more aware of food intolerances and be able to handle providing "gluten free" meals.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and making a "vote."

Just a sample of what I am emailing to my friends and relatives...... I want to push these numbers even higher.

[JennyC]

I voted! We're beating the pet magazine 36% to 31%!

[CMCM]

I just voted....I plan to vote every day until the 7th. Sorry I just found out about this! When I voted, it said PETS 38%, the allergy one 37%.

Keep voting EVERYONE!!!

[kevsmom]

With a total of 262,591 votes tallied, food allergies and pets are tied with 38% each. Your vote can make a difference!

[lizard00]

I just voted again! We're only up 1% now to the pet mag. I don't much care for Martha Stewart, but a magazine for folks like us might help to change my opinion!

[highrentsmile]

I am so glad everyone is voting! Allergen Mag 39% Other 36%, keep voting!

[sickchick]

Voted, still 39%

[CaraLouise]

Voted! Up to 53%!

[ravenwoodglass]

Keep those votes coming, I just voted and we are greatly in the lead, lets keep it going!!!!

[darlindeb25]

My celiac support group sent this around to the members last night in an email. I voted then and Pet Lovers was at 37% and the Food Allergies was at 36%, this morning, the Food Allergies is at 54% and Pet Lovers has dropped down to 28%--it's looking good for us. Now let's hope they do a good article covering celiac. You would think with a member of her staff being a celiac, she could have done an article without a vote.

[Respira]

I just voted 54%

I think there should be a vote to get Martha a new computer monitor. That's one piece of junk she's using in the picture of her "taking time from her very busy day to vote".
