Vote-by-mail may be the one thing Arizona got right. I hope Krysten wins...It'd be nice to have someone I know in Congress,not that we're homegirls and she promised me a hefty government snark contract, or anything.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Did not get to vote yet myself, drove by my polling place on the way home and the line was at least 20-some people long. Gonna be a looooong evening of standing in line, I'm guessing. Foo.
Not necessarily, smonster- we thought the same, but our precinct (11-2) was inside the building and not a long line at all. Same for 11-3 and 11-4. However, that was at like 8am, so I can't vouch for that now. But don't be disheartened at what's happening outside because it may not be the case for your district.

Sniff. I miss in-person voting, much as mail ballots are easier and handy for when I'll be out of town.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
There were long lines and lots of efficiency at my polling place, and because of the cane, I got to sit at a table with other nice people, and I sent their children to play with my children at a different table. It was a little like a church social. I like my polling place.

Thanks, Glam. How are you doing?

sj, hate those negative voices in your head. You will make a great mom.

Yeah, I much prefer doing it in-person.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I was in and out in 15 minutes today in MD. Nine am. Was prepared for a much longer wait.
I'm certain it's only the tiniest fraction of your situation but I know how much it can hurt when it seems other people are getting something you also so desperately want to have and enjoy for yourself while still being happy for them. It must be really difficult when it's people having babies when you want (and would be so wonderful with) children.
I've been struggling with this over a number of different major life events. I get angry over birthdays (because mine will be forever tainted), wedding anniversaries (because I won't have any more at this point), and pregnancies/births (because it will probably never happen for me now.)
I want to be a mother very much, but in the right circumstances. I can't see myself as a single mom, and I certainly can't see getting involved with someone just to have a baby. My prospects are dimming by the day. Early menopause runs in my family. It breaks my heart in so many different ways. And it's making me bitter.
