Thanks for the info, jcar. I didn't realize Obama was campaigning today as well.

I have seen one set of Obama volunteers walking around the neighborhood. They haven't knocked on my door yet, but regardless....I'm off to vote!!! I'm so excited!!

I'll check back in here when I get home.

Thanks GGL :D I enjoyed your input alot. Have fun voting. I miss the lines and excitement of the polling place. The link to the watching history from the porch was very moving. I know my dad and all of my family is excited for this day. My brother is having an election party so we can watch the results tonight. Unfortunately my mom is too ill to be aware of this historic event

Again, it was a pleasure posting with you all :D

UCLAN :D I did it!! Cast my vote for Barack Obama and it was quick. No waiting - I was in and out in 30 minutes. :D:D I'M SO EXCITED!!

I wish my Mother Dear could be here to see this. She passed a couple years ago and I miss her everyday. I just know that she would have been absolutely thrilled to vote for Obama. I believe that she was right there with me in the voting booth, standing beside me with a smile on her face.

No waiting and it took 30 minutes? I was in and out in about 2 minutes. Didn't have to show ID - just had to sign 2 forms and put my street address on one of them. There was no one in front of me and there were 4 voting machines with almost no one there. I'm reading lots of reports about problems with voting machines, paper ballots and every other thing you can think of including voter suppression, especially (of course) in the battleground states. :angry:

I live in a small town and was able to walk in and walk out in two minutes. I stood there in the booth and let the significance of the moment really hit me. How amazing it was that I could vote for either a black man or a woman as President or Vice-President respectively. We are making history today. I am so proud right now to be American.

    • Today was the day everybody recreated the flower ceremony from John and Marlena's 1999 wedding

      And once again, it was beautiful. I also couldn't help but laugh though when Brady brought up John's use of his eyebrow whenever he dealt with his kids or grandkids. It's little lighthearted moments like that, that really have helped make these episodes and this tribute so real and genuine. And even though they couldn't get Alison Sweeney back for John's memorial, I'm glad that they came up with the idea to have Eric read a letter from Sami. The way that the letter was written is pretty much what Sami would have said if she had made it back to say goodbye to John.  Marlena and Bo's eulogies were the ones that got me today. I seriously wonder if their's or anyone else's were scripted or improvised. And I agree Bo, John's huge heart and compassion was his true power.

    • Yeah, right, they've got Cam playing Love2Hate Drew in extremis & they're not gonna play that hand out?!!!  I figure they use the prison beat-down for a redemptive phase but only when they think they've wrung every possible drop out of this absolutely odious every day villain they've created!

    • Respectfully agree to disagree. We had 4 episodes with original flashbacks integrated well into contemporary scenes that were sweet, romantic, that resonated, that hit all the possible nostalgic chords & that shows me the writing team not only cares for these 2 characters but that they were really excited about writing for them. And, we also have the quote from Korte/VanEtten beginning of the year-ish that they considered Lucky & Liz a foundational couple for the canvas.  I thought Lucky's saying he didn't think he'd stay once she turned down his marriage proposal to be good character motivation. I also thought the idea of some summer travels with Aiden supports character integrity.  Going by his exit interviews, what's left is people & logistics/scheduling, etc. & there's no way a writing team can anticipate an actor taking an out in their contract ahead of time. They have to deal with it, in the moment, when it comes up & likely it's going to make a bit of a mess to whatever they have sketched out in the long story thrust. 
    • I had a driver taking me to Infusion the other day & we were talking about soaps. She was out of touch but had been a CBS fan, from TPIR, all day till Oprah. Telling her about BTG. What network? CBS. When: 2pm. Is it between ATWT & GL? Oh, girl, you are so behind. So, she was appalled when I briefly brought her up to date BUT she remained interested in hearing more about BTG, so that was a plus.  Last weekend I got a haircut so it is the way I like it, short & spiky but of course it's purple. Recently, I was waiting for my ride outside the Infusion Center & a woman comes up to me, about my age, short spiky hair but all white. She raves about my purple hair & says she is a pancreatic cancer survivor & purple is that color (which I knew) and she is thinking going purple but doesn't know where to start. So I tell her about Splat, no bleach req'd, easy, etc. & she's getting excited & my driver pulled up, & stuck her head out & said, Donna? & she had purple hair, too! I felt like we were in a purple vortex. It was both lovely & surreal.      
    • We saw Hope, with Bo, where she revealed John's death to him & he immediately wanted to leave for Salem & we saw the two of them talk to a doc or an admin about whether he would be allowed to be discharged yet.  Someone, maybe Will, talked to Sami on the phone and at the airport Sydney had taken a fall, sounded like she was on a moving sidewalk, and had at least 2 breaks & was scheduled for some kind of orthopedic surgery.  Since it is clear that Sweeney cannot or will not be available, again I say  it is time to recast.  Wasn't Carrie lock-step with Belle the whole time? In general I thought all of the eulogies were both good & appropriate. Yes, Paul touched me like no other. Loved Abe. I still miss previous Little Rachel but for the first time new Little Rachel also moved me. And, amazingly, I am caught up again. Whoopeee!

    • In true TV tradition Dani kept her bra on during sex. Couldn't we have been treated to Andre in his underwear , rather than trousers on already? I took Hayley's reaction as teasing. Surely she wouldn't think for a moment Bill was fooling around with Ashley? I agree that Dupree staircase looks a little basic.Wish for something grander. And in the living room there was a lamp in front of the door. Huh? Is that a closet? Would you have built in storage in a living room in a house of that size? Chelsea has millions of followers?
