Supernatural poll - what's your favorite season four ep so far?

Morning, everyone!

So I spent part of my weekend rewatching all of the season four eps we've gotten so far, and wow, have we started off this year with a bang, or what?

Then I got to thinking, which one is my favorite, and then thought that I'd ask all of YOU, too.

So step right up and cast your vote for your favorite episode!

[Poll #1277712]

I can't believe he's gone

I just received a phone call that my friend Missy's father passed away on Saturday.

You guys may remember me talking about Missy and her parents, (who I've known since I was five years old) last month, when I went up to their house in Wisconsin to spend Labor Day weekend with them.

It'd been years since I'd seen Missy's parents, after they retired down to Arkansas and I was SO excited to spend time with them again. And it was a fantastic, amazing weekend. Little did I know that it would be the last time I saw Ron.

It hasn't really sunk in that he's gone, because I just saw him a month ago. It's just so...surreal.

But I am SO, SO thankful that I was able to go up to Wisconsin that weekend and spend time with him and Missy and her mother.

Here's the last picture I have of Marge and Ron and myself, taken last month:




Ron was a big part of my life growing up, as I was always over at Missy's house fooling around, and I will miss him tremendously. The last thing he said to me as Missy and I got into the car that weekend to come back home to Chicago was, "You're still the same sweet little girl. Don't you ever change."

Love you, Ron.

Definitions:

Time Shifted Viewing – Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live+Same Day (Live+SD) and Live+7 Day. Time shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs which are currently in approximately 24.4% of all U.S. TV households. Live+Same Day (Live+SD) include viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3:00AM local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live+7 Day ratings include incremental viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.
