If you're feeling a little anxious right about now, you're not alone. The months leading up to this election day have been nerve-wracking, to say the least, and since we still have hours to go until we find out who our next president will be, relaxing and taking your mind off the polls will definitely benefit your stress level. Of course, that's easier said than done, and since misery loves company, so tell me, are you experiencing anxiety today, too?
Just in time for lunch! I'm often straining my brain to find ways of squeezing the funny out of everyday things. But this news story about a possible dead mouse baked into a hot dog bun kinda writes itself, especially when a "Master Baker" (say that 10 times fast) is quoted as saying that what looks like a dead mouse is in fact hardened dough or "pan accumulation." And then another person says in response, "Everyone thinks this is a mouse, but you." I guess we'll all have to wait on pins and needles for the lab results.
Election-day fever is sweeping the nation, with experts predicting record turnout. From Phoenix to Chicago, Ohio to New Hampshire, voters are experiencing long lines — but as you'll see, they're sticking around to cast their ballots. Take a look as John and Cindy, Barack and Michelle, Joe and Jill, Sarah and Todd, Bill and Hill, and citizens everywhere make their choices.
I need help making sense out of this situation. I had three great dates with this guy — three dates within the timespan of five days! We were really hitting it off and he was signaling that he was interested in something more. We didn't kiss on our first date, or our second date, (he only kissed my cheek) but on our third date, we were hanging out at his place and the next thing I knew, we were having sex. It was completely casual, nothing weird happened, and it was overall a nice experience. He was really sweet with me after — he helped me put my coat on and kissed me goodnight. That date was last Tuesday. I haven't received a single phone call, text message, or instant message from him since. I'm really confused and now I'm thinking that somehow us having sex on our third date has suddenly freaked him out. I need help sorting this all out! What should I do? — Puzzled Paulina
TV Tonight: Indecision 2008, Live Throughout this crazy election season, whenever I've needed a quick pick-me-up or a laugh at the day's wacky events, I've turned first to Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. So it's only fitting that the two of them will be a big part of today's election TV coverage, with a live Indecision 2008: America's Choice special airing at 10 p.m. EST, 7 p.m. PST. Oh, and if you happen to be in New York City, you can stop by the MTV jumbotron in Times Square and watch it there, too.
Supports have been registered, and appeals for votes have been made. But the work has just begun — John McCain and Barack Obama must make sure their supporters vote, and then subsequently make sure every vote is counted. That, my friends, is called a ground game! Google put together this handy gadget that lets you track the candidates as they canvas the country. Have you done anything to help get out the vote for your candidate this year?
