'Out Of Gas'
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.
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.
I'm just glad my folks are both of sound mind, and more proactive about voting than I am (filled out absentee ballots weeks ago thanks to Dad's disability). I have a couple of relatives who are highly religious Trump supporters, and it completely mystifies me how they can't see that anything he says about religion or traditional family values is pure BS. Most of the family is Republican (we're the die-hard Lefty branch), but I suspect a number of the others will be so disgusted by Trump that they hold their noses and vote for Clinton or a third party candidate.
I have mopped my kitchen floor. It's been a long fucking time since that got done. Now to the living room. Well, after I watch and episode of Supernatural. Or maybe while, the living room is where the TV is, after all.
Not that the kitchen is all done, of course, but that's not the goal right now. I'm going for presentable and functional, which is challenge enough.
Ugh. Canvassing calls are the worst. Sending canvassing messages via FB though are simultaneously worse and better. Swing Vote Go is helping me do that. [link]
I think everyone I know on FB is either engaged in the election, or I'm not sure how they would vote!
I have pulled a lot of pork and kind of burned my fingertips. Ah well.

I'm sure it's possible to pull pork without burning your fingers and swearing viciously, but I've never managed it.
I just saw America's Test Kitchen do it with a mixer set on very low.

So, I grew up in Ohio and haven't really lived there since then. So I didn't know how my Ohio HS friends would respond. Everyone has been uniformly polite. Some that I felt qualmy (a former student in NV, some HS friends that I'm not that close to in OH) about said they are voting for Hillary and excited. One said that she usually votes R and this year is a tough one (and I basically said, I know it is! But I think voting is the important part), but she was still nice.
I guess I've been pleasantly surprised at being to engage around this in a low risk way.
