It looks like Moten's fans are working really hard ,He's starting to catch up.. Should we bother trying to stay ahead or forget this poll.I keep voting but will stop if it just seems silly I hate these polls but so want Adam to win this...never knowing when this ends is a pain... I have been voting as well, but do not like the never-ending aspect of the poll. This contest is getting 100 x more votes than any of the others and so I would say that the dedication of the fan groups is firmly established by anyone in Brazil who is interested. The only impact that I can possibly imagine is if UOL is considering sponsoring a TOH tour in Brazil. But if all the votes are coming from outside Brazil, I don't think that even matters. Wikipedia says UOL is the fifth largest internet portal in Brazil and is a service provider like AOL or Yahoo. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universo_OnlineThat said, I will probably continue to vote when I think of it, but have decided not to dedicate focused time to it. If some other information comes along, I can always ramp up. |

So glad you are safe...the impact on the community will be immense, and if like our city will take years to rebuild. The city did pull together and the volunteers to go in and strip our homes to the studs was amazing. Keep us informed as to the impact on you...as it may come as an after "shock". You start to panic when a food stores close to us, closed, as in one day they had no food left on the shelves. Less than a mile away behind us...residents were evacuated and no one allowed in. I left for work not knowing the disaster was happening. My nightmare to get back home was nothing like what other were personally going through. I remember Bamafan endured a storm that destroyed her husband's business and damaged home/car etc. We joyfully tune in each day to check on Adam, but real life also hits hard on many Atopers in many ways. ( In Calgary, Canada in 2013...people died...over 100,000 people were displaced. Some never to return to their homes and livelihood.They called in 2,200 Canadian Forces (CF) troops to help in flooded areas. Whole communities, and towns near by had to strip homes to the studs for fear of disease etc. Beautiful homes/small homes/a little town destroyed...never to be rebuilt. Total damage exceeded C$5 billion and has been the costliest insurance disaster in Canadian history at $1.7 billion.) Wow, that is horrific....I didn't know that about Bamafan, we will have to see tomorrow if our business is ok. Yes, I think it will take a while to recover from this. Stories are still coming out of areas damaged and people missing. Thankyou for your concern.. |

Oh my gosh! This sounds horrible. Stay safe Freakydeaky. Thinking of you! XX
How terrible! Please stay safe. My prayers go to all who are suffering through this. Nature is so unpredictable.
Thankyou drummer, we'll see what it's like when we try to go into the city of Nice tomorrow. At the beach today it was like nothing had happened, other than trees in the sea and some debris on the beach, but the roads were gridlocked, and people were brushing shingle from the streets.. |

How horrible, I've found natural disasters all over the world have such a profound effect on me now that I've been through one. I was always sympathetic but didn't really understand the impact on both individuals in the community. It makes me so sad to hear that many people were unable to to return to their homes and way of life. For us as a community we been able to somewhat recover and return to normal ... It is however a new normal. The F5 tornado that hit joplin Missouri on May 21, 2011 was the seven deadly tornado to ever hit United States, and it was the most deadly since the introduction of radar tracking systems in the 1950s. We lost over 160 people , it destroyed 8000 homes, many churches five schools in the hospital that I worked for 20 years. As with what you're speaking of many people died weeks and months after the tornado from disease and infection from injuries suffered during the storm. So you and all others that are going through or have gone through natural disasters you'll remain in my heart and my thoughts forever and always. How nice it is for those who love Adam and follow Adam to have a place to come to take our minds away when something like this happen I wish everyone could have an outlet like we do. |

Freaky, so glad you are safe. I woke up, saw the headline in the news, and thought about you immediately. Isn't it funny that through this Adam community you have goodwill wishes pouring in from around the world from people you have never actually met!
I've been voting on that stupid Rio poll too and questioning my sanity at the same time. It's a beautiful day outside, so I'm about to head out.
I've got one request because it seems to be a slow day and I missed out on a lot of the SA QAL videos, if anyone has a favourite video that shouldn't be missed, would you post it please.

Freaky, glad you are safe!
Poll seems stable - Adam is getting enough votes to maintain but not increase the lead. Hate these things but compelled to vote.
