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

AFAIC Nevada can count as slowly as they want, I hope they have pit bosses and cameras on all the ballots so it's all clearly correct

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Emma Kinery at Bloomberg just posted: Nevada's Secretary of State says there are approximately 190,150 ballots left to count, 90% of which are from heavily-Democratic Clark County.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Well, Mr. S was insisting on a lollipop for his after-dinner reward. Never again. He was super wild, and was still awake at 10 pm. Of course he didn't want to get out of bed at 7 like he should.

“Not dead yet!”

Hey guys—

Was seriously considering that after the election insanity I might be taking a lengthy FB break— when I thought about who I’d miss most if I did, well, it was a no-brainer.

Luckily, the board exists. So hopefully you’ll welcome the weary pilgrim back in?

Thrive to spite them

Welcome back.

Brenda you'd think after 3 decades of knowing my dad is so different from me I'd be better about accepting it.

M's mom is getting guilt tripped by her other son over her decision not to go to his house for Thanksgiving. He is offended and also they think this is just like the flu . Still. And the death toll is a lie.

Honestly I have to say that there are some things I admire about M's mom. I don't think she finished high school and her mental health makes her memory bad. And she sometimes struggles with certain words or concepts but she watches the news all the time and pays attention. She voted for Trump in 2016 and she doesn't like Biden so I think she wrote in someone's name. She voted for Harrison because she doesn't like Graham.

She is someone who could be easily be swayed to the propaganda because of those things and it can take her a little time to work through certain things but she will or ask questions about things. And I realized she doesn't just watch one news channels she'll watch all of them. And things like Good Morning America or This Sunday Morning

Hey, Barb, nice to see you.

I've worked out, am making lasagna, my house is really clean and I'm out of fic. Aaaaaaaaaargh.
