Freaking spammer! Why would we bother doing anything for you when you
only posted this to 17000 other groups?

--------------------------------------------------------
I apologize to those who found my very sincere request as something
confrontive. I believed that anyone who enjoys cooking might have a
heart to support the cause of a fellow 'cook' in a contest to have her
kitchen updated.

As I originally said:
I have a special favor to ask of you, please!

My friend Betty in Springfield, MO entered a contest called The Ugly
Kitchen Contest. The prize is new kitchen cabinets and counters,
which she really deserves for her 100 yr old home.


Voting ends Friday at 4:59 p.m. CDT
and I’m asking you to please take a quick moment to cast a vote for
her:

http://getpublished.news-leader.com/...php?PhotoID=42
(scroll down to vote)


She is #42 and has been holding 1st place for some time.
She’s slipped into 2nd this evening, so the pressure is on !!


I would appreciate your help so very much!
I put up a webpage where voters can acknowledge themselves for their
support (if they chose). http://www.robbinsdale1963.com/kitchen/addresses.asp


If Betty wins, I’ll be adding ‘before and after’ photos to the
webpage so people can see the joy your vote helped to bring.

Thank you, thank you, for your consideration,

Did it bear repeating? No. You aren't targeting cooking newsgroups. You
posted it to alt.social-security-disability, alt.support.breast-implant,
alt.home.repair, misc.kids.health... You aren't interested in this "friend"
and her need for a new kitchen. You want people to visit your web site,
asshole.

Yeah, this person should see how ugly MY kitchen is. Dang, at least I
actually use mine. Poor taste. Very poor taste.

Dang, a word of warrning would have been nice, Sheldon. I had a mouthful of
water. I can't believe I've never heard that one before! That's too funny!
Thanks for the smile. :~)

DESERVES? Why does she "deserve" it more than anyone else with an ugly
kitchen?

She doesn't. Most of us probably have ugly kitchens. Sheesh.

Anyone with a 100-year old home has a moral duty to preserve
and maintain their 100-year-old kitchen architectural features.

I shudder at the thought of folks ripping this stuff out and
thinking they're doing the right thing.

Depends on whether or not the stuff was junk to begin with. Just because
it's old doesn't mean it was well-constructed. Chances are it was but we
really don't know. Even if it was, it's entirely possible the original
cabinetry and such was ripped out in a kitchen rehab years ago and replaced
with more modern crap

Just how ugly is your kitchen. Mine's so ugly the skim milk curdles
when I take it out of the grocery bag.

Of course! Or even if it was a FOAP we recognized! I have a friend
whose
kitchen would likely get into the to 10 if not win the contest.
