A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm beginning to be of the opinion that ALL elections should have recounts, as a matter of course. You know where most 'illegal voting' is actually detected? Recounts! Plus they expose problems with the voting software/hardware/process that embarrass state and county officials into actually Doing Something.

(Except maybe in FL.)

Punishingly Intricate

I'm at my in-laws in Michigan and we're having early Thanksgiving today. I'm trying to not say things like "why don't I run to the store to get heavy cream so we can have real whipped cream" or "why don't I run to the farmstand to pick up apples so we can have real applesauce." The food we'll have will be fine and I appreciate the work going into it even if it's not the way my family does things. Plus we'll be with my family Thursday for 2nd Thanksgiving. Still...

Our wings are not tired.

At recount center. Tales of shenanigans. When the finally start we are supposed to observe humans copying exactly ballots that didn't read. Can't talk. Can't touch table. Only raise hand if feel it isn't duplicated exactly.

Thank you, Laura.

I'm packed and ready to go. I'm having a quarrel with my bras, but it's a little too late to deal with it properly. Stupid boobs.

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

I am blaming my lack of motivation on the "very unhealthy " air quality today. There's rain forecast for Wednesday!

"why don't I run to the store to get heavy cream so we can have real whipped cream"

It's Cool Whip, isn't it?

Good luck Laura!!

I would rather have spray can real whipped cream than cool whip?

So I saw a couple ATV scooters on Craigslist and messaged both, and one had sold and one didn't respond. So I went ahead and bought one on amazon full price, got it Wednesday. So of course today I get a message from one of the sellers saying "we still have it do you want it". Oy.

Several hours later just watching machine recount. Bored.

I like Cool Whip. I really like real cream, but Cool Whip has its own flavor that I am fond of.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm trying to not say things like "why don't I run to the store to get heavy cream so we can have real whipped cream" or "why don't I run to the farmstand to pick up apples so we can have real applesauce." The food we'll have will be fine and I appreciate the work going into it even if it's not the way my family does things.

You are a strong and kind person, lisah.

You are also a strong and patriotic person, Laura.

I have done some errands and done laundry and gotten a haircut -- feeling good!
