@semicynical: Yes, I'm watching CNN.

@TaraIncognita: Yeah, I don't think she's speaking until 10:30 (eastern).

@Meg: I will tip my glass for you!

@TaraIncognita: I wish my mom was like that. She says she can't vote for someone with the middle name of "Hussein." Ugh.

@aspiringexpatriate: I'll have to check it out!

@ASmallTurnip: I took a British history class in college that focused on the 1800s. I understand the importance of the sewers. Shit on the sidewalks is not fun.

@TaraIncognita: I have a republican mother too. She is all for McCain and is trying to convince me to vote for him. Not happening.

@PilgrimSoul: At least your mom is not a republican! I'm going home this weekend and am going to plaster an Obama bumper sticker on my car for my mom to see.

@aspiringexpatriate: I've never had that. Where can you buy it?

@ASmallTurnip: You are awesome. I am booking my flight right now. That sounds absolutely lovely and exactly what I need.

@feelingHELLAstabby: I hate these awful diseases. They just destroy people's lives.

@PilgrimSoul: Thank you.

@feelingHELLAstabby: I know. Thank you so much. He just got married a month ago. He's the closest friend I have ever lost.

@ASmallTurnip: AHHH! I lived not far from there when I studied in London. I miss it so bad!

@ElleL: Thank you so much! It's been so rough. I broke down in my supervisor's office today when asking off to go to his funeral.

@feelingHELLAstabby: I was just about to say that. He looks incredible for someone with a brain tumor. My grandfather has a brain tumor and a VERY good friend of mine just died this weekend from melanoma that spread to his brain (he was only 25). Needless to say, this is why I am heavy on the wine tonight.

@ASmallTurnip: LOL. I just realized your comment was talking about your TV messing up. I've had a good amount of wine. I'm watching it on CNN, but you're in London, so I don't know what channels are available to you.

@ElleL: Sounds good to me! I need to go pour myself another glass.

@rmric0: LOL. I'm sorry if I'm not making much sense, I've had a good amount of wine and am feeling quite warm :)

@UnSeelie.......: I've just had 2 glass of red wine. Yum!
