"Mom. I need your help."
There is no speed on this good green Earth than that of a mother answering the call for help from her young. And of course, he no sooner hit the 'send' button that I was texting back "I'm home. Call me!"
Of course, there is no phone call, only another text back, "No, not that kind of help. I just need you to post something on your blog for me."
Sheesh. Are you kidding me?! Here I am with images of him sitting in a jail cell or hospital room and homeboy just wants to use my blog as his platform. Ugh. I hate kids sometimes, you know?
So, here is the uber-important thing that prompted Colin to text his mother more than once this week. It's a an "app" contest and (from what I can decipher from his texts--NOT a phone call) he is asking that we help him win by "liking" his app. He's in third place for whatever the heck this is and he needs our help.
Please visit and click "Like" for him (and me):
Thanks, pallies.

Oh you are such a good mommy. We moms hope kids never use the word help in a message, as our minds range into all manner of trouble!
I did that already - and if he wins he should call all of us! (No, not really - just kidding!)
Ok, I liked what ever that was. Hope he wins. So the blog is very useful now. Have a great day
Done....I think it's a great idea. Hope he wins:)
I liked it, I don't know what it is but from one mother who only gets texts to another I did it for you Lin....lol

I did it too! Hope it helps!
LOL! All college-going kids should have moms with blogs :D
Hi Lin! Just clicked 'like' too... because I love your blog and your honesty. Good luck to Colin!
Hi Lin!
okay, I "liked" the app, whatever it is :) Hope he wins!!
Also, I posted a pic of the bird's nest on my blog today, if you're still interested. The magpies were too fast for a photo, though.
Jeez. Texting. If you need me, you have to call. And you'd better call the house phone b/c I never have the cell on and the text just sits there locked in cyberspace until I turn it on. One frustrated friend sent me a "text to landline" last week. When I got home from Southern States it was a recorded message on my answering machine in a computer voice. Now how was that easier than calling and leaving a real voice message???!!! Stevie@ruffledfeathersandspilledmilk.com
Done. And well done--by Colin that is! Now if he can just develop the social network that replace FaceBook. :)
Done! Hope he wins!
Liked it! Hoping he wins, and that YOU get the call. :)
