Sorry, msbelle. Not a easy start.

I voted. My presidential vote won't make any difference, but the Senator vote might matter. State reps were effectively unopposed.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

In a separate post, does anyone know about this woman [link] Robin Laverne Wilson, who is running for Senator in New York State? I am thinking about voting for her, because Chuck Schumer is most likely a shoe in.

Sound like a rubbish start, msbelle. Here's hoping all goes well for your dad.

I hate to put a damper on things, but please don't start counting your presidents before they are elected. The last British General Election and (particularly) the Brexit Referendum have made me extremely wary. Now, I would rather prepare for the worst and be pleasantly surprised than expect everything to be fine and suffer a cruel awakening the morning after.

Edit: my point being that not a single advance poll for either predicted the actual results.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I voted for Schumer, Sophia, sorry!

From what I understand the polling on Brexit indicated that it was likely to pass, but nobody believed it. At least the polling points to a Hillary win. Not that I will be breathing easy until it's over.

Fiona, there's a lot of messages going out not to count on anything, to get out there and vote, so hopefully we won't have the surprise you did. I hope.

Otherwise, tomorrow morning may start of like msbelle's.

From what I understand the polling on Brexit indicated that it was likely to pass, but nobody believed it.

As I recall almost everyone predicted Remain winning, though by increasingly narrow margins. But you may be right, to be honest I have tried to purge most of late June from my memory.

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

I currently have no work to do. So I'm just twiddling my thumbs waiting for election news this evening.

I'd take a nap but I'm too stressed.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

~ma for your dad, msbelle, and sympathies for the morning.

I'm off social media for most of the day--as on other occasions, you guys are my information source. If it's bad news, here there'll be blunted shock and sympathy, and if it's good, there'll be unfettered celebration. No place I'd rather spend the day, no folks I'd rather be among.

Did I say? We dropped off our ballots last week, and avoided any lines.
