I KNEW IT.

Thanks!

I use them to remind people to vote when I am at the library.

Yeah, that makes sense, and I don't mind seeing other people wear them in the same way I feel icky for wearing one myself. I just have a powerful knee-jerk reaction to having gotten a fair bit of busybody "And why haven't YOU voted? Don't you believe in democracy?" during the years when I worked more in the public eye. Even though I'd never say anything of the sort even when I do wear a sticker, I'm completely allergic to even seeming to give the faintest hint of an impression that I'm like that.

eta: flea, dayum! I had no idea! Do be careful.

I just don't feel like voting today. I just dont wanna.

I intend to vote, but I can't figure out who's running, or why I should vote for or against any of them! It's city council and school board, which means they're probably various flavors of liberal democrat environmentalists, but how can I know what flavors?

You might want to try the League of Women Voters website for info on local and statewide races--I needed to find the text for a Cincinatti ballot issue for work, and the smartvoter.org was the only place that had it online (also info on other Ohio and California races).

Yeah, I'm starting to feel I should maybe read the paper more often. Like, ever.

I have outlook at work and recall is transparent if you haven't read the message. If you've read it, then it asks for permission from the sender to recall it. The sender is notified for every sendee whether the recall failed or succeeded.

Not that I've accidentally emailed all the associates and gotten 200 notifications one afternoon. I heard a story from one of the staff who caught an associate trying to unplug his computer to stop a reply-all.

The problem with it now is that email hits everyone's blackberries too, but they won't be recalled from there.

You may insert your own humorous conclusion to this story and you will probably be correct.

I remember living in England and making traditional Thanksgiving dinner with my housemates. I brought in some pumpkin pie to work, and someone wanted to add custard. Silly british people!

Custard, like Bird's Eye, or the gross egg stuff?

I'm not sure which. It's the stuff that would go on top of a hot apple crumble.

We have one issue to vote on and it's our first mail in vote so it's confusing a lot of people.

The issue is should the city have a stake in the coal plant that will most likey be built in the neighboring county? If the City opts to be in it would have a 20% stake. The city has spent a lot of money sending around flyers "debunking" coal plant myths. The City's position is voting yes will get us a 20% say in what happens!

Opponets of the plan are saying -- coal is icky and 20% doesn't buy a lot of influence.

Then there are the "I'm an environmentalist and I agree with coal" vs "I think environmentalists are a bunch of liberal nutjobs and I oppose the vote."
