voting closing at 12 noon PST

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

Just to make it official, the run off between entries 2 and

10 will close at noon PST today. I’ve been receiving votes both here on

the board and also in private emails, so feel free to do either if you haven’t

voted yet.

Here are the two entries running for 2nd and 3rd

place. Please let me know if you want #2 or #10:

#2:

(Judges-please know that this entry was inspired by my sales page, just to put

it into context. Here’s the text from that page that this person was

responding to: “Think about it this

way: If you have a leaking pipe, you can put a bucket under it, or you can fix

the pipe.

Putting a bucket under the pipe prevents further

damage, but it doesn't stop the leak. You have to continue emptying the bucket

over and over again. You've dealt with the problem, but you haven't fixed it. If you never fix it, you will have to empty that

bucket for the rest of your life.

A diet is just like that leaking pipe. You keep on dealing with the problem without ever fixing

the root cause of the problem. Diets tell you when and what

to eat, and you have to rely on willpower to get you through it. That willpower

takes effort – just like emptying that bucket every day.”

Here’s

the entry:

PLUMBER

WANTED (as soon as possibel)

I am

looking for a plumber to once and for all fix my “leak”

(preferabally someone who strted their training at a very young age (say

around, 20 )

must be

ver expeirienced; someone who learned through trial and error only to learn

that there is one way to do this right. (to many people already gave me their

advice but none seems to really work)

caring

person only who loves their job and understands how they are making a change

that will last a lifetime. (How many more times can I possibly go through this

before I kick the “bucket” {JUST JOKING ON THIS ONE}

responible;

I need to know taht even if I am “not home” at the moment they will

not leave me in the middle of the job. (It is so imortant to me to have somone

at my side who realizes the ups and downs along the way.

and very

reasonable priced. Although the work is definitely pricelesss they are

affordable jut because they understand that even the not wealthy deserves to

live in a body without any “leaks”

Please

help me to live an healthier and happier life

Thank You

I sure hope it is you that gets the job done

Oh and

one more thing ” Some one who will not care about small things like bad

spelling and grammar.

#10: I need to get off the

merry-go-round… I have dieted my way to over 300 lbs. I have serious

health issues due to my weight ( asthma, hypertension, arthritis, heart issues

), yet I can’t seem to stop. I am afraid to stop fearing I might gain

even more weight. I eat in preperation for my next diet to begin. My mother had

food issues … tho she never weighed over 125 lbs. To her I was eating

when I shouldn’t or not eating when I should be… I was and still am

in a losing battle.

I have a ” naturally thin ” 6 yr. old granddaughter who is the

light of my life.

She could care less about food because she knows it will be there whenever she

gets hungry. I want to be like her… what freedom that would be.. to be

hungry and eat and then go about living your life with out a single thought of

food until you get hungry again. I want to be healthy to be with her a long,

long time and have a healthy attitude about food .

I have tried many times and seem unable hold on to the concept. Someone talks

about the diet they are on and there I go again on the merry -go -round. Am I a

lost cause a loser ? Please help me end this struggle… help me feel

normal for the first time in a long time.

Thank you for giving me an outlet for my feelings and for this wonderful

opportunity .

Thanks!
