Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'll be spending most of tomorrow off of social media, so everyone should be prepared to entertain me here.... which won't be hard since this is the most witty and charming group of folks ever.

45 and Biden are in a dead heat in PA. I'm petrified the Cheeto will win.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Who's hosting Mystery! on PBS these days?

Alan Cumming?

an actor I like from Hustle

THAT'S WHO THAT IS

Hivemind question- if making a surprise birthday cake for someone where you can't find out cake preferences without ruining the surprise, should it be chocolate with vanilla buttercream or vanilla cake with chocolate ganache?

This is a real issue, because I would always say yellow cake with chocolate frosting, but recently found out through asking that my one aunt would always say chocolate cake with white frosting.

Same Maria, Same. I have been doing a LOT of texting to PA for down ballot races, so hopefully it gets voter turnout up.

Our wings are not tired.

When one side is trying to make sure everyone votes and the other side wants as few people to vote as possible it is a clue how they think it will go. I do believe Trump does absolutely nothing to gain new people, and every day does something to lose people. That helps.

I'm trying to be optimistic because that is the only way I will survive until November. I just hope it doesn't drag into December.

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

Yes, Jesse, Alan Cumming. I did know that.

And, yes, that is who that is! I know he's played other parts since then but that's how I always think of him.

Alan Cumming is really working the silver fox look these days.

I still have the feeling that Trump will win. I feel sure Biden will get more votes, but that Trump will manage to edge out a win or court decisions where the vote is too much of a mess to have a clear winner in enough of the states that actually matter.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

45 and Biden are in a dead heat in PA. I'm petrified the Cheeto will win.

Of the most recent eleven polls of PA, Biden is leading in ten of them, by an average of 5.7%. Only one poll showed them level, and that was Rasmussen.

Tonight I cooked a pot of red quinoa, unaware that it has basically no flavor. As I now have two cups of the stuff in my fridge, any suggestions of what to add to it for subsequent meals in order to make it seem like food?

anything in a garlic sauce. I do quinoa rather than pasta some. I am also a fan or pre-made simmer sauces with cute up meat of your choice - I like the Frontera ones and TJs Curry or Korma ones.
