Steve still wanted to do the challenge but we were out all day yesterday and didn't have time. My plan, if I can pull it off, is to wait until he is in the shower and film myself pouring ice water on his head when he's not expecting it. I'm just not sure how I'm going to juggle the water, B, and filming at the same time.</p> <p>Also, must figure out how to edit film as to not expose his penis to the world.</p> <p>I'm pretty much the best wife ever. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-everyone-on-fbig-dumping-ice-water-on-themselves#post-1821160 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 09:59:46 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1821160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, my husband did it, since he got tagged or whatever. He gave the $10 to ALS (And he didn't even know what ALS was, so he learned about it!) And then he also donated to 3 other charities that hit closer to home for us. And I've been seeing a few others doing something similar as well. I wonder if many organizations are seeing an increase in donations these days?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-everyone-on-fbig-dumping-ice-water-on-themselves#post-1821154 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 09:57:50 +0000 .twist. 1821154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: Are you gonna do it!??!?!?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-everyone-on-fbig-dumping-ice-water-on-themselves#post-1821124 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 09:46:39 +0000 snowjewelz 1821124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I'm okay with it as long as people A) are donating B) actually bother to read up on what this is.

He just did the Italian ice bucket challenge as in eating "all" of the Italian ices in a bucket. Hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-everyone-on-fbig-dumping-ice-water-on-themselves#post-1819786 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 21:02:36 +0000 hummusgirl 1819786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the whole thing. Even if only a small percentage of people get educated on ALS and/or donate, it's gotten so huge that that's actually a large amount of people. Plus I'm happy to have something other than the many horrible things happening in the world to read in my newsfeed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-everyone-on-fbig-dumping-ice-water-on-themselves#post-1819780 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 20:54:49 +0000 lazypanda 1819780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This one is my favorite. </p> <p><a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/bill-gates-als-ice-bucket-challenge-article-1.1905818" rel="nofollow">http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/bill-gates-als-ice-bucket-challenge-article-1.1905818</a></p> <p>I like the fact that the celebrities are donating a lot more and doing the challenge as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-everyone-on-fbig-dumping-ice-water-on-themselves#post-1819776 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 20:49:09 +0000 BSB 1819776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's great that some people have donated and not great for people who didn't didn't donate.</p> <p>When I first saw these popping up on my newsfeed I was annoyed because people were doing it and not donating. But I think others have changed the rules to say if you do the bucket challenge, you pay $5 or $10 but if you don't want to do the bucket challenge you pay $100.</p> <p>I was really surprised to hear that over 4 million in donations have been made in the past couple weeks because of this social media stunt. </p> <p>I have enjoyed watching celebrities do it and I'm sure they donated.</p> <p>It does bum me out when I click on my friends video and they don't mention that they donated so it leads me to think they didn't. </p> <p>I haven't been challenged but if I did, I would donate and do the ice bucket. Also, my blip would talk about ALS more. </p> <p>ETA: Also, I sorta see the point of ice water because ALS affects the nerves but some of my friends are either dumping water without ice or dumping a few ice cubes in the tub right before pouring on themselves. The water doesn't even get the chance to get cold. It kinda loses the point of ALS awareness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-everyone-on-fbig-dumping-ice-water-on-themselves#post-1819774 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 20:47:51 +0000 reverie 1819774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a total hater but it is working. I really can't argue with a good cause bringing in millions of dollars for research. I do think it is a little weird the people who dump the ice and don't donate even a little bit, but ALS is still winning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-everyone-on-fbig-dumping-ice-water-on-themselves#post-1819729 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 20:12:31 +0000 sarahbs 1819729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I don't understand this challenge... Most people I see that post about it on FB don't mention donating. Wouldn't it be better to donate the $100? :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-everyone-on-fbig-dumping-ice-water-on-themselves#post-1819705 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 19:33:53 +0000 Kemma 1819705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: @blackbird: definitely a bad combo!
