Giggled light
Into the night
No more to run
Going to have fun
Even in the game
Red hair aflame
8 all through the day
6 my belly got I say

Sometimes people have multiple accounts here on Stories Space (Gasp! Yes it happens.) and if they decide to leave and delete all the accounts that is what can happens. Several votes will disappear at once, assuming they voted with the multiple accounts.

I am not 100% sure, but I believe if you delete your account, your votes go away. If you only deactivate your account, your votes remain. I will check with the senior staff and see if that is right.

This weekend coming up, I want to spend it with friends and see a movie coming out entitled 'The Age of Adaline.' It is about a young woman, born at the turn of 20th century, who is rendered ageless after an accident. After years of a solitary life, she meets a man who might be worth losing her immortality for. It stars Blake Lively, Michiel Huisman, Harrison Ford (one of my favorites), and Kathy Baker.

I am watching a TV series I had heard about, but never seen, Game of Thrones. I have read the books, but do not have regular TV services, so I have bought them on DVD. WOW!

Attribution that interrupts a dialogue sentence is treated as a non-essential clause, and so is set off by commas.
Thank you Maggie. That cleared it up for me.

The correct punctuation of your examples is as follows:
"Where is it?" he asked excitedly. (The pronoun remains lowercase after a question mark or exclamation mark because the dialogue tag is part of the same sentence. You could use a comma instead of the question mark.)
"It's about time," he exclaimed giddily. (The comma goes inside the quotation marks.)
and
"It's about time," he said giddily, "that we head out." (This was spot on.)
I don't claim to be an expert on many things, but punctuation is one subject I've mastered.
I trust you on this, you do have much more experience than I. Could you explain why you would have a comma after the word time in the last example? If you moved the tag to the front or the back of the dialog , the dialog would not have a comma in it. ("It's about time that we head out," he said giddily.) Why would the comma be their? Is it because of the tag breaking the dialog sentence? Just trying to learn more.
Well folks the grammar police have me now.

I believe in your first situation; "Where is it?" He asked excitedly. The question mark is inside the quotation marks because the dialog is a question.
In the second situation it should be like this; "It's about time." He exclaimed giddily. If you reversed how it was expressed you would use a comma, like this; He exclaimed giddily, "It's about time."
I am not an expert, but I do it this way and the grammar police have not thrown me in jail yet.

I may not be something you have heard of overseas, but in Indiana they passed a law that many felt made it possible to discriminate against the LGBT community. There was a huge outcry across the country and in the media about this. It was so bad that the Governor of the state promised to pass an amendment to fix that problem. Now it is two weeks later. The protests have stopped and the media has all but disappeared, but the two amendments that have so far been sent forward to fix the difficulties have thus far been easily voted down. Another politician makes a promise and when your back is turned, does not fulfill it. BTW He just made a speech yesterday stating that he thought the states problems caused by the outrage of that law has passed.
