I bet she knows what party she prefers.

I remember a lot of older people who would never vote for any Democrat because of That Man, ie, FDR, who was despised in a lot of circles for the New Deal.

Timelies all!

Health~ma to your dad, msbelle.

It occurs to me that I have been poked and prodded in many ways over the past few days, basically all by choice -- gave blood Thursday, extra-hard massage Friday, teeth cleaning this morning. At least that's all done!

::reschedule Jesse's alien probe for a less pokey-proddy time::

I feel bad that this is where my mind goes, but now I'm really curious about the effects of, say, political ads on voting patterns in dementia a patients.

I didn't get very far with Cleaning All the Things last night. I mean, I did a lot, but there is way more cleaning to be done. Fortunately, this morning DirecT's automatic system called me to see if I wanted to confirm, cancel, or change my appointment, so I moved it to Tuesday (forgetting that I need to vote, but depending on when the polls open I can vote either before or after my window and have a good excuse for working from home). Now I'm dressed for serious business with my Cranky Pants and Malarkey shirt and have the whole weekend to see what I can do.

And also catch up on some TV, because I need breaks.

A friend of a friend literally said on Facebook: " I think it is in your every right to vote for Hillary. I just ask for the same respect back even though I am voting for a crazy, racist Cheeto."

Foaf has a right to the vote but not to respect. Especially when they acknowledge that they're voting for a crazy, racist Cheeto.

I would guess the ads wouldn't have a big effect on those with short-term memory issues, but it probably varies wildly for each individual.

I am standing up to post this because if I'm sitting a cat parks on me right as I'm ready to get up and do something. I really need to get the remaining extra furniture out of my home and go pick up my Theracane from work so that I can destroy the knots in my neck before the weekend ends.

Agreed!

I just remembered I should get a flu shot. So sign me up for the alien probe, I guess.

Woohoo, we have a washer now and we can do laundry. We are doing laundry. It was quite an ordeal to get the whole installation done, but I am going to ignore that part.

Oh, man, I need a flu shot, too. Maybe Tuesday?

And to do laundry, but it's low priority right now. It will become higher priority tomorrow when I have to come up with clean clothes that are appropriate to wear to work, but it's not an urgent need today.

I went to sleep with a bad headache, and woke up with the same. Sleep usually cures a headache, so I'm irritated. Drinking tea, and taking a Rx Aleve,

My mom and sister helped Dad fill out his voting form, and by "helped" I mean filled out and signed. Dad's always voted straight Dem, with the exception of voting for his h.s. buddy (R) who was a judge for many years.

If anone else had tried to "help" my dad, who's in a lock-down memory care unit, vote, fucking heads would roll.

That was my mother's position -- spouse or POA, sure. Anyone else? Hell no.
