Hi, friends! Long time no talk. ~ma to everyone in need. Things are much the same with me - mothering my sweetie pie baby boy who is 10 months old (a few new pics starting here [link] Where does the time go? Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say hi.
Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
It may technically qualify as voter fraud, I don't know. It's not like you are voting twice (voting at both addresses) or voting under an assumed identity, or paying someone to vote the way you want.
Sweet zombie Jesus.
Maria had to take my mother shopping this morning, since the woman refuses to stay put the way she's been ordered to.
The reason? A date with the Much Younger Family Jeweler.
And now Maria's traumatized because when she was loading the bags into her car, she happened to catch a glimpse inside one of them and spotted a box of Summer's Eve.
I just... I have no words.
Oo, such a cutie, GC. And I lurves his costume.
I just... I have no words.
Oh dear. Is it okay if I find it just a wee bit amusing, Barb? I realize I'd probably feel differently if it were my own mom but... hee.
Glam! Cutie pie Shane!
Oh dear. Is it okay if I find it just a wee bit amusing, Barb?
Honestly, I'd probably find it funny as hell—if it wasn't my own mother. And if I hadn't lived through this pattern time and again. Foolishly, I'd hoped she'd grown beyond this.
Clearly, foolishly.
No wonder I never was a wild child. Who could compete?
Oh, while I'm still wearing my "oh, hai, I'm a total elections dork!!" hat, I really don't like the term "voter fraud" as it's commonly thrown around in recent years -- it's pretty much a scare tactic to try to delegitimize a lot of perfectly cromulent votes (or intimidate a lot of perfectly cromulent voters before they even try), when actual fraud is really very rare. Not Updating Your Address, or Showing Up At The Wrong Precinct, are human screwups; actual fraud is stuff like voting while dead, or registering lots of people who are dead, or hacking voting machines to stuff them with the names of the dead, and is usually a political machine problem rather than a person-showing-up-wrong problem. Also, happy Halloween.
registering lots of people who are dead
And then having them vote. No one is disenfranchised by non-people or the undead registering.
thanks, amych. OC registrar was totally unhelpful but I got through to LA County and they said it's totally OK for me to vote at my old address.
