The poll is up http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/969972.html

and it's MLK Day.

I remember being in Virginia years ago and hearing that they had combined it into "MLK/Robert E Lee" day and thinking that someone *really* missed the point... or more likely, wanted to make a point of their own.

First? No way! ::Does the 'Carlton' dance::

Hello EO- I regret to inform you that once again I have no ballot boxes when I tap to fill out poll. I only can get to View Answers. What do you want to do? I would like my votes to count when I cast them (if I could cast them).

I await your instructions, Sir!

Have you tried downloading another browser app? If you can put chrome or firefox on there instead of the built-in web browser for kindle you might be able to see the poll correctly?

Good point. The Amazon browser is lousy for getting to the web unless you're browsing Amazon, LOL.

I have a Kindle Fire too. I've found it works better as primarily a Kindle as opposed to using it as an actual computer.

I have one, too, that I bought for the kiddo for Christmas, but my brother has commandeered it for his own purposes. Otherwise I'd see for myself whether another web browser app can be added. xD

Those are different search engines. If you want a different web browser you probably have to go into the apps store and search for Chrome or Firefox specifically. :)

No Boo, it won't dowload Forefox (firefox either:), Already have Chrome. Do you remember my other account name? I thought I'd try iy from there. (Or will it not make a difference)

This is a spanking new fifth gen Fire Tablet. It worked the other polls, but last week and this week are screwy. (Did you hear Elmer Fudd? I did! Hehe)

You should be able to log into LJ with this username from Chrome even if you're already logged in on the main web browser for the Kindle Fire. :) The browser itself might make a difference -- some browsers can't handle different aspects of websites.

Other username was madmusings3, I think? That might make a difference too, yeah.

(Sigh) Nada, MadMusings3 was a bust too. (BTW- you should have that alt in your flist)
I'm beginning to get a headache...

Dolphin is another popular browser to replace the default Silk browser on Kindle Tablets


Hope you're able to figure it out

Alrighty- I'm tapping out, changed search engines, browsers, switched apps, and accounts. No ballot boxes. Perhaps the universe doesn't want my paltry votes. :( I really don't know what may have been changed between week 2 and now. (Week 3 was break?) I seriously just won't vote. Hugs to everyone for trying! I'm taking a nap and come back later. Peace~~~

Were you logged in when you tried to vote? I only ask because I just tried to open the poll, but all I saw was a list (with the number of votes everyone's received, though I'm not 100% sure those numbers are accurate) but no boxes to tick.

I realized I wasn't logged in. When I logged in and tried again, I have the boxes to tick.

Yeppers, I was. I'm almost always logged in by web. My facebook login works however, just not from the app. Is veddy interesting! Hug

Well, the guys are here to prepare the kitchen for destruction! They just had to kill the water line because whoever fixed the fridge the last time (which was, who knows, a year or two ago? More?) stripped part of the plumbing so they can't dismantle the fridge from the water lines without leaking water everywhere. Our contractor has somebody who can do it but we'd have to pay him directly as insurance won't cover it.

Right now I'm hemmed in the living room. When I leave for the hotel later on, I will not be able to come back in as they're moving everything from the kitchen into here, eek.

That has to be traumatic. Leaving and not having control over what they're doing to your household! Hugs and I hope everything goes smoothly!

At the laundromat now. Told them I was returning to get the rest of my things. Let's pray they'll let me in or else I'll have no work clothes for tomorrow!

I'd guess someone trying to make a point.... just one I highly disagree with. (Which is actually addressed in this week's poem entry.)

That would be the same logic people use when they cut down a stand of palmetto trees to build Palmetto Drive.
