Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That'd be my reaction too, sj. Hair grows back.
I'm going to vote on actual Election Day because I take great comfort feeding my ballot into the Scantron.
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 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
I love voting in person, but I was too concerned about Covid this year to want to risk being around a ton of people. And, as it turns out, w/r/t Covid, our county is teetering on the edge between red and purple right now (we are SO boned), so I really wouldn't want to be voting in person next week.
Is purple worse than red? I was confused when my county went to red and it was an improvement.
Yeah, purple is worse than red for Ohio. I think it goes green, yellow, orange, red, purple.
I'm glad we don't normally get a lot of kids for trick-or-treating, since the city hasn't cancelled it. Tim is making a candy chute so kids can stay at the bottom of the steps up to our porch and we can send candy down. My vote for a treat trebuchet was vetoed.
meara, yeah, the Secretary of State's website has a reminder that between not all counties processing ballots daily and so many people returning theirs early, please give them 3-4 business days before calling to ask where your ballot's at.
(As of 5 pm yesterday, 52% return rate; four years ago, 28%.)
