Sniff. I miss in-person voting, much as mail ballots are easier and handy for when I'll be out of town.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

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.

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.

I've been crazy busy at work and haven't been able to keep up with Bitches or Natter for weeks, but I miss you guys.

Thanks, sj and P-C. I really try to be grateful for what I do have, but there are certain things that make me petty still. I'm trying to change it, but you can see how successful I am with that.
