Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Our wings are not tired

I did not win it. Sigh.

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

I never even figured out how to buy a ticket, so not me

There is a chili cook off/potluck at work next week and I am sorely tempted to bring peeps as my contribution

You have to address all your co-workers as your chili babies.

Apparently the winner bought it in Altadena at Joes Service Center. Pix or ND, did you go to Altadena? Say yes.

I’ll have to see what’s available peep-wise next time I go to the store. We’re also having a Thanksgiving potluck in our department on the same day at the same time because everyone I work with has lost their damn minds (I cannot blame them for that) so hopefully I can bring turkey shaped peeps or something for both

I thought the drawing was Wednesday, so there you go.

Also, never been to Altadena.

Thrive to spite them

Laura I'm sorry that your house is torn down.

I wanted to ask one of the poll managers about the time limit and what if someone needed more time...for example if they had a learning disability or some kind of physical issue that made it hard for them to move their hands quickly but I didn't because I also didn't want to give anyone a reason to kick me out if I seemed confrontational.

I am going to see if I can find out more info. There were only 2 measures besides just the voting . I don't know if SC has a lot of things to vote for regularly.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I went to vote. One of my friends was volunteering at the polling place, handing out Democratic sample ballots. I saw her offer them to two people who both said something like, "Never in my life would I want one of those." She said that not everyone was like that.
