Vote for my son so he can win a Fire 7 tablet!

  • Please vote for my 12 year old son Dominic's entry in this contest. He stands to win a tablet. He is the organist at St. Dominic's Chapel, a chapel of the Resistance. He also volunteers with sacristan, maintenance, and janitorial duties. He even helped hand-mix and pour many of the concrete sidewalk slabs (in the very important house --> chapel sidewalk) over the years.

    His entry certainly belongs in the top 3; possibly even the #1 spot. God willing!

    The entry with the most "likes" wins. You do need a Facebook account of course, but it doesn't have to be a frequently used one, nor does it have to be more than a few minutes old *nudge, nudge*

    (What would a Catholic want with a tablet, some might ask? The plan is to use the tablet for e-book reading. He reads a lot of books, including e-books checked out from the library.)

  • Go Dominic! Looks like he's winning!

  • Alas that Facebook has to be used to vote in this matter. For those of us who useth not and despiseth yon Facebook, we shall use the efficacious means of prayer to request victory for thy son. :D

    I dont know what religious apps Android has, but for iOS there are some great ones for Traditional Catholics: BrevMeum,iPieta, My Liber to name three i use regularly. Nothing wrong with a tablet or iPad as long as the person using it is moral, upright and the like. :)

    I realise this is in jest, but I'd like to point out this is very risky before over zealous forumgoers missing the joke go off and do it. If a number of suspicious votes were cast, your son's victory would likely be revoked resulting in both personal embarrassment but also the possibility that it'd prevent a victory he would've acheived even without fake votes. 
    Of course vote away if you have a real Facebook account, I would if I had one.

    .
    The page I got says nothing about your son, Dominic.
    Is there a problem, or is someone hacking his account?
    Or am I supposed to log into Facebook before clicking that link?

    .
    The photo with "Ranger's Apprentice" book cover and a boy holding a bow has 56 likes, the next closest is 35 with "No Talking," and two boys facing each other. Which is the one Dominic did?
    His name is nowhere to be found as far as I can tell.

    I would presume Dominic didn't take the photo with Julie Andrews on the cover which has 34 likes currently.
    .
    Daniel Moreno has liked at least 3 of the entries so far.......(?)
    .
    "Flesh & Bone -- In the land of the dead, searching for the key to life, by a multiple Brain Stoker Award winner" - I know "key" could be organ key, but the rest doesn't sound like something Dominic would do. Only has 8 likes anyways.  Brain Stoker Award winner sounds a bit creepy as does "ROT & RUIN." Not to mention that half-clenched hand with purple fingernails...  :confused:

    .
    How can you tell how many likes he has? Which one is his entry?
    .
    The boy holding the bow appears to be about 12, but the two shushing each other look like 7 or 8. 
    .
    Then Julie Andrews, why, she doesn't look a day over 39. Could be it's all makeup, though.
    I heard she had surgery on her vocal chords and now she can't sing anymore. Sad. I hate it when that happens.

    I can see how what he said could be read that way, but that's not what he meant. Many people in our circle of family and friends--including all of Matthew's immediate family members--do not have Facebook accounts. His suggestion was that anyone is free to sign up for one simply in order to vote. That would not make the account "fake" in any manner, simply new. If he were down by just a few votes on the last day, I wouldn't hesitate to sign up all of my children of reasonable age. As of now, they can't vote for their brother because they don't have Facebook accounts. Dominic can't even vote for himself!

    He's #2 --the one Matthew linked to--and the "likes" for each picture show up on the right side beside a white thumb inside a blue circle.

    As of now, I can't vote for their brother either, because I don't know which entry is his.    :really-mad2:

    You're free to like as many as you wish, but I recommend #2. : )

    .
    All I get when I click on the link is ALL the entries, NONE of which are identified by name of photographer.
    #2 means nothing because none of them have a number, either. Do you mean second place? That would be the two boys shushing each other, who are 7 and 8, not 12.

  • His book is The Ranger's Apprentice. Is that enough to get you to the right one?

  • You do need a Facebook account of course, but it doesn't have to be a frequently used one, nor does it have to be more than a few minutes old *nudge, nudge*

    What are the downsides, if any, to opening a Facebook account - one that is not "more than a few minutes old?"  Does false information have to be provided if you just want to open an account which will be for in your words no "more than a few minutes old *nudge, nudge*?"  If so can it be morally justifiable according to Catholic teaching?  Just asking!  I am no expert on Facebook and my inquiry is in no way meant to be seen as being facetious.  Far from it, although based on what I know about it, it is something that I would never want to sign up for and particularly so if I would be signing up under any sort of false premises even though I realize that this may be a somewhat common practice when done for a sort of "throw away account."
