Herding cats for fun

If Lily Bean were my daughter instead of my kitty, she would definitely be vaccinated. What's not to love about getting a super power to resist disease? No smallpox, measles or shingles for me, please.

I'm afraid the missing nutritional capsule is fish oil, not the flax oil. We might discover a new smell somewhere...

I'm definitely going to finish my ballot early and hand deliver it to the drop box at City Hall. I'm afraid to trust the USPO.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I have until next Monday and I will get my real ballot and return it where I can officially track it. I'm just pissed and going to be on hold a lot. But this is getting fixed. I know CA will go blue but my vote will be counted too. I'm just honestly shocked at how what sounded ridiculous about preventing voting is feeling real accurate now.

Our wings are not tired

Doesn't the map pull your location from the information in your user profile, not where you drag a pin?

I think it did, but I updated my zip code in my profile a few days ago, and I'm still listed in Philly (I moved to NoVa). Tried city name just now, too. I mean, no big deal... just responding to the question.

Also, it's 3a here, and I am wide awake for some reason.

Cass, that's beyond frustrating.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I THINK I'm registered - went through the process. I only moved a few blocks and one zip code, but I'm in a new ward. We'll see.

That is really frustrating, Cass. I hope it is quickly resolved when you get on the phone.

On the lighter side, wildlife photography awards.

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

Blergh. Was woken up in the middle of the night feeling like maybe I had food poisoning, but it passed and now I'm fine but tired. SAo, not food poisoning but not pleasant.

Soothing belly vibes sent your way, -t.

I should be packing. Really I should be packing, and yet.

What is even happening?

I have until next Monday and I will get my real ballot and return it where I can officially track it. I'm just pissed and going to be on hold a lot. But this is getting fixed. I know CA will go blue but my vote will be counted too.

I hope everything gets sorted for you soon and easily, Cass. It's a lot to keep track of, when you have already had so very much.

I feel exactly the same stompy footed way about having my vote counted in blue Massachusetts, where it won't move the needle, just because I do.

I WILL vote against this racist, sexist personification of corruption. Again.
