A penny for the guy!
We have accomplished what we wanted to already! The car has been fixed and washed, we have voted, and we’ve de-leafed the back yard. I’ve got a chickie out and thawing for rotissing later today. And I’m about to have a banana. Life is good!
I raked some leaves today. Might do some later too, dunno yet.
As Fairychat pointed out, today is election day.
Vote early, and often!
Lemme know when it’s burnin-stuff-in-the-oven day; I’ll make a spiced apple cake for that. 
A penny for the pie!
:rolleyes:
Welcome back BooFae! Have the kittehs forgiven you yet?
I have voted. I even have my “I’m A Georgia Voter” peach sticker to prove it. I likes gettin’ my little peach sticker when I vote.
I am also dealin’ with more than my share of teh stoopid today. I have somebody who filled out his timesheet all wrong in spite of my detailed explanation of how to do it along with an example to go by. It is now Tuesday and it still ain’t right. This means he will probably not get paid this Firday which will, of course, be all my fault. :rolleyes: I will not do it for him. He is a grownup and should be capable of doing this right. ::Sigh::
Other than that I have completed and sent in copious monthly reports.
Now I need N.O.L.
Lunch has been ingested. I think it’s time to watch some TV and work on my latest afghan.
I never got stickers for voting. 
Though once, after getting vaccinated, they were giving out bandaids, and some of them had stickers on them. I was a bit too old for a bandaid with a sticker, but I asked for one with a sticker anyway. It was a sticker of a football.
I killed the MMP. puts down axe
Happy Toosday!
Supposed to be warm today.
I have lots to do and no idea of what I am going to do.
I need some lunch.
I need some curtains. The blinds are irritating because they have to be fully open or fully closed and I want to let light in without the neighbors looking in.
I need to wash some clothes, and measure windows, and measure the bathtub, unload the dishwasher, clean the dogs ear, help Sah-son attach the mirror to my dresser,and I still haven’t gotten a rug.
I think 8 by 10 is going to be too big and 5 by 8 is going to be too small.
I don’t know I think I need a decorator.
I need to call the elections people and complain. DH and I are both signed up as vote-by-mail, and when our ballots arrived, his return envelope was post-paid with that familiar bold zebra stripe down the side, and mine just had a meek little square saying “first class postage required”
No idea why some people get a free envelope and some have to pay.
Also, no “I voted early!” or even just “I voted” stickers. What I really want is an auomatic filter for the mailbox, TV and internet to block all of those elections ads since we mailed in our ballots last week.
I’m STILL getting political calls for North Carolina issues and races, and I haven’t lived there for several years. :mad: The thought has occurred to me that, maybe, just maybe, I’m still registered to vote down there, even though the Maryland voter registration has a positive unregister card that is sent to the old Board of Elections.
I wonder if I’ve missed any jury summons from Cottonfield County. Being arrested on a contempt of court warrant for failure to show would be a hoot, for all the wrong reasons. 
gotti I’ve said “bite me” to a lot of robocalls lately. I wonder if any of those calls were actual for real people cause as soon as I heard a politician’s name I said “bite me.” I can only hope I said that to several for real politicians.
I cursed a phone system once when picking the 412th menu selection.
The system responded, “If you would like to end this call, please hang up.”
Aren’t you the guy who told the Congressional aide, “You tell him to go to hell.”?
Who would be on your jury? If those guys refused, they’d just pick another, but if they refused…fifty people a day, refusing to be on a jury! They’d realize it’s a movement!
Sometimes if I’m ordering food on the phone and I get an automated voice, or I’m put on hold at a company, I’ll say things like “go to hell” into the phone. Not when there’s an actual person on the phone, of course! :eek:
My bathtub measures only 22 inches wide
No wonder I feel like I am in a MRI and like I can’t breathe.
I know it’s all in my head but damn the thing makes me feel closed in.
I’m getting weird about taking pills too.
I’ve cut back from 17 a day to 12 but I still feel like I am gagging on them. I know it’s all in my head. I’ve never had trouble taking pills and now I feel sick just looking at them.
Re measured the family room and I think an 8 by 10 rug will be okay. I’m still trying to decide and we all know how horrible I am at decisions. The room is 12 by 17 but there is a bay window at one end so it is narrower and the other end is a continuation of the hallway from the front door to the kitchen.
I only got a few political robo-calls.
I’m getting lots of robo-calls bill collector calls for the person who had this number before me. Since there is no person for me to tell to stop calling I guess I am going to have to listen to the entire message (even though they tell me if I am not the person they are calling I need to hang up - like it’s okay to call my phone and tell me to hang up if I’m not the person you are calling, you called me, and maybe you should make sure the number is correct before you do so) and get the call back number (calling the number they are calling from doesn’t work) and tell them to stop calling me.
I won’t be nice about it either, there should be an option to tell them they have the wrong number. Or maybe they should get the message when I keep hanging up.
I already cussed out one of the live person calls after telling them twice before that they have the wrong number and to stop calling here.
First time I’ll be nice, second time I’ll be firm, third time I’m done with your sorry stupid ass. Don’t give me any stupid BS either about the system taking several days to update, I don’t have time for your incompetence.
I wonder if there is a call block option for land lines?
I got back from the funeral Sunday so I have no excuse for being late to the MMP. Sorry to miss your birthday, FCD - belated happies!
The funeral was for a great aunt, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time. According to the eulogy, she had lived to be 99. There was a good video at the funeral, a collage of pictures with background music. It let me see her from before I met her and also from after I had moved away.
I also got to catch up with relatives. Turns out that one of my second cousins has stopped breeding greyhounds and is breeding mules instead. One of her mules was apparently some kind of national champion recently, so she must know what she’s doing. I need to look that up. I also need to write to my aunt and catch up on a few addresses.
For the folks who are discussing pumpkin pie, you can bake up the filling in a casserole without the crust and call it pudding. Or souffle, if you want to be pretentious and exaggerate a little. If you serve it while it’s warm and slide a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top . . . mmmmm.
