Warren can't go to the Cabinet because Massachusetts has a Republican Governor, and he could replace her with a Republican Senator.

The state legislature would just change the law again. They have no shame, and for this I'm grateful.

The GOP has done exactly zilch for the common man, woman and child for the last four decades. I want the party to fall, fail, die, and cease to be. I'm not all Dems all the time, in fact I'd love for there to be a classic, realistic old-style Republican party that believes in service, but in a more conservative and considered way, to balance the Dems. I just don't want it to be tainted with the Republican title anymore.

Pipe dreams, I know.

I hope the cheese agrees with you, msbelle.

ITA, Beverly. I think of so many sane Republicans I knew in my youth. They are surely rolling over in their graves at what has become of their party. We disagreed on how things should be accomplished, but they weren't without souls.

The cheese took! I had more cheese (1 slice) on a sandwich for dinner. I also used a wee bit of olive salad on said sandwich AND things seem to be holding.

I am still headed to bed though. A full day of work, albeit slowly, has done tuckered me out.

Yay cheese! Yeah, a full day of work after a bout of food poisoning is plenty to wear a person out.

Olive salad? Wow.

I made butter chicken from scratch and it's good but way too filling and now I have a LOT of it. Also I made rice very badly. Should've paid more attention but was busy with the chicken!

Leftovers of butter chicken should freeze well.

Or you could just send it to me. I have homemade English muffins I'm willing to trade.

I'm sorry to hear about so many entitled adult kids living rent free being so persnickety about having to do some dishes. I'm sure I myself would take on that chore to demonstrate my fervent gratitude about having a roof over my head when times are hard.

You'd honestly think. But, no, even if they aren't *your* kids, it still doesn't work that way. I thought I'd learned that lesson. I think I have now.

Agreed. Dishes and taking out the kitchen trash are all that matters.

Nothing that will be stank upon return and you are good.

I think the GOP establishment got what they wanted from Trump, the SCOTUS, and they are not going to put themselves at risk by doing a lot of illegal things to hand him the election. If he clearly wins, fine, but of he wants to do a lot of shady legal maneuvering to cheat his way in, they are not going to support him. He is now more a detriment than a boon to the party, and they have their eyes on their own elections.

Not that it's news but Scrappy is wise.

Those English muffins looked so good.

I'm filling my ballot tonight and dropping it off tomorrow depending on their hours.

I'm trying to be an upstanding (getting there at least five minutes before my start instead of five after, that's really my only true slack but it's such a visible one) employee but feel like I'm dropping the ball on too much. Not really at work but I'm exhausted so it affects work. I'm not even consciously stressing about the election. I think I'm probably pushing everything down. I sold a car, painting a house interior, paid property taxes. I have the most reaction to the painting. This is, historically in my brain's nonneurotypicalness, bad. I only came to that conclusion a couple of hours ago. Also I need a fence.

I would totally trade for homemade English muffins! Where's the adaptor for "sending things through the tubes"?
