Sara, we are going to Legoland next weekend instead (did K mention the date change?) because hotel rooms are significantly cheaper.
Oh man, my brain is not willing to sleep.
Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Ginger, thank you for the info! The endo who gave me the info about Grace's genetic stuff didn't have enough background to really help. I figured that I'd need more info on which chromosomes (but I did notice many of the more well documented translocations are fertility busters).

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Got up for a 6:30 phone call, and of course they're having connection problems.

Kat, hopefully they have already referred you to a Genetic Counselor,who will prove to be much more helpful than the physicians on something like this.

In and out of the polling place by 8 am. Ran into my favorite state delegate, Mary Washington, as I was leaving (she was there to vote. For herself, I assume!)

I just voted, too. Although I should have waited until I had my caffeine first, because I spoiled my first ballot and had to do it over. The clickety-clack machines wouldn't let you vote for two candidates for the same office!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Back from the voting. Definitely more turnout than usual at my precinct -- Durham is pissed at all these shenanigans, yo.
I believe I will not vote for Thom Tillis again tomorrow, in fact.

Thanks, Kat, that is exactly the sort of insight I can use. References to charter schools always set of alarm bells in my head, although that is not always justified.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I voted early, because VA allows you to do that if you work outside your county of residence. It's been a quiet election cycle in my area -- even the campaigning at the Metro station has been minimal.

Our wings are not tired.

The scanners won't let you either, or so I found out. I ended up having 3 ballots printed because I messed up the first one, then the poll dude voided the wrong one and they had to print another. I told him I thought he was just trying to make me feel better.
I was going to let the mistake go, but it was attorney general for the state and I didn't want the other guy. So I marked twice to void it, I thought. The scanner spit it back out.
I voted for marijuana!
