1. Got mine at 3:31AM

And why, yes, I did sleep w/ my cell phone. :crazy:

[texas1928]

2. That 3 AM phone call that everybody was worried about...

:P

[mcctatas]

3. hmmmmm

I wonder how long it will take some enterprising yet bitter hillary supporter to claim the timing was a direct slap in her face?

[supernova]

4. I'm just glad I didn't have it too loud

and the first thing I did was log onto DU. :rofl:

[texas1928]

7. Political nerd...

SIGH.

[supernova]

10. Yep

:D :pals:

And of course you just happened to be up late anyway. :P

[texas1928]

11. It was only 11 something here when the News broke.

Nearly midnight. I am not an old fuddy dud.

[supernova]

13. I wasn't trying to imply

that you're an old fuddy dud. :hug:

15. I know, usually on Fridays I do not go to bed too early.

My wife and I were watching movies, and I was messing around on the internet, and saw on here that ABC and the UP and AP were reporting secret service headed to Biden's house so logged on to DU and tuned in MSNBC and sure enough, we got ourselves a VP.

5. I must have been one of those crashed...

I got no txt.

Good job I'm up at 3am anyway.

6. I'm sure they'll keep coming

I signed up late last night.

8. I tried a test txt from Sprint's website to myself... and it worked...

so Sprint is still working... probably the link from Obama's txting people to Sprint I guess... or just the sheer volume of txts they need to send

9. My wife got her's at 2:47 AM CST

I think they are moving across the country from East to West.

[mwooldri]

12. Update: I got my txt now. 4:14AM EDT.

Was just sheer amount of txt's that needed to be sent. Plus I did sign up late in the day...

Mark.

14. I got my text at 2:38 am Central.

:shrug:

[texas1928]

16. With that many text going out.

I am surprised some services did not see it as a denial of service attack and block the messages. People are probably going to be getting them well into the morning hours.
