Wow amy that's is surprising!! I was a little worried when two days after I dropped it off at a box my vote still wasn't showing as received, but then a day or two later it all updated to accepted, so I'm good! I much appreciate Washington's vote by mail, even if it cuts down on dramatic stories of people being in line forever and make close elections take a while to count.

I just got a call that ltc cut her hair at school. My first thought was at least it was HER hair.

Our wings are not tired.
That would be my same reaction, sj!

I'm going to vote on actual Election Day because I take great comfort feeding my ballot into the Scantron.

I'm going to guess that she missed having bangs.

What is even happening?
That'd be my reaction too, sj. Hair grows back.

I do, too, but I voted early, in case something happened to prevent me from voting on election day (illness, car failure, rain of toads).

No, she loves not having bangs. It was her choice. My guess is she was excited to have scissors capable of cutting hair, which her ones at home will not. Or she was bored and wanted attention.

Yes, indeed. Me too.

Oops. Hope she didn't do anything too drastic!
I can't decide if the NyTimes "guess if this is a Biden or trump fridge" is fun or says something sad about our society.

sj, if it's any consolation, yes the hair will grow back. A co-worker once came in upset because her teenaged daughter had shaved off her eyebrows. She picked the kid up at school and it took a few minutes to realize what was different ... her daughter tried to pass it off as having been the same that morning. Mother's response was that she had eyebrows when she dropped her off (and, yes, they grew back ... eventually).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I like voting in person, but I always intended to drop off my ballot as early as I could (which turned out to not be all that early, but that's part of the joy of being me) and it makes me happy to see the large numbers that have already voted, so contributing to that in a small way is also satisfying
