Even though my video will show up right away you actually have to go over to the right and select it from amongst all the others. It's called "Don't Forget". You'll need to go above the video and click on "join group" which may or may not require you to be signed in to Gmail or YouTube (not sure). Once you play the video you can go under it to the "Discussion" tab and there will be a place to click "i love it". That's huge b/c that's how a vote is counted. </div><br /><div>Y'all are awesome and if you feel compelled to pass this on we'd appreciate it.
