Because books.

Also? Kashi Go Lean Crunch tastes like lightly sweetened styrofoam. Blech.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Man, I loved the grunge years. It was like fashion had decided what I was already wearing (jeans and flannel and thrift shop what-have-you) was in style.

Grunge years were high school for me. So I kinda always envision high schoolers dressing grungy. Even though I know they don't.

Msbelle, is he not getting enough sleep? Or is he staying up when he's supposed to be sleeping? I feel like sleeping on the bathroom floor is something I've only done when I'm feeling super sick. That's just weird.

Oh dear, msbelle.

I have a question about "voter fraud" and "ID requirements". Where I vote, I go to my polling place, tell them my name and address, and they look me up in a huge book. The book has my signature in it. They cover it up, and I sign the book.

a) Is it like that everywhere

b) In order to "vote without an ID", therefore somehow committing voter fraud, you would have to know someones' name, address, and polling place, and that they weren't showing up to vote? It seems unlikely that voter fraud at any large scale could be committed without the complicity of the voting officials and/or the machine makers.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That's the standard in NYS.

Yes. That's why this kind of voter fraud is a bullshit issue.

Plus here in Washington we don't vote in person anymore. So really anyone could steal your ballot and complete it. I think in theory your signature on the outside of the envelope is supposed to match what's on file, but I don't know how they look at that.

But no one is going to be able to steal enough ballots to have it be statistically significant, right?

I mean, I get that it is bullshit, but it seems like the fact that it is bullshit should be self evident to anyone who has voted (in NYS, at least). I am assuming other non-ID states have some measures in place that mean you can't just go from place to place voting willy nilly!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I assume he is having back to school anxiety coupled with just morning grumpiness and a whole bag of pre-teen I don't wannas.

Too bad his momma has a giant case of I don't cares and a side order of - we've done this for 7 years, straighten the FUCK UP.

I just had to go run an errand for work that took me right by the house so I stopped in to give him another chance to get dressed and come with me. Hells no. He had been up, enough to lock the interior doors and let the dog in. I left telling him that he would be alone for at least 2 more hours and if the dog peed or pooped, he was responsible for cleaning it up.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
