oh to give someone a flower you click on the little flower and it becomes orange..Geez Im confused..lol

First, love your mice! Now, to flowers. Each question & answer has it's own flower, which starts out orange. When you sign in, the site recognizes you, so if you notice your own flower on a Q or A it's already grey (to you), because you can't vote for yourself. When you vote by clicking the orange flower it turns grey, indicating you've voted for that Q or A, and like Jrob said, one per customer & it'll tell you "voted twice". Every once in a while the site is slow, so give it a sec. That's how I know the voted twice part, I was too quick on the trigger, thought my vote didn't 'take', but it had. Hope between the 3 of us we haven't totally boggled your mind. Thanks, Ruthie, Jrob, you probably didn't need my help, but I'm Chatty Cathy today. Marji

Ruthie is correct, it even gives you a hint that you have "voted twice". Just a gentle reminder...
;)

lr2008, when you give someone a flower, click on the *orange* flower, then it becomes *grey* to show your flower has been given. And also when it is grey you can't give another flower. Hope this eases your confusion, I know that feeling only too well. Here's a flower for you.
