I ended up not making an offer on the house. Even if the seller accepted the offer my realtor and I discussed, it still would have ended up with an uncomfortably high monthly payment based on what my mortgage agent told me today. Back to trolling Zillow.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh Laura, that is so much.
In 5 years it might be in our living room, which would make voting SO EASY, for me at least.
Growing up, a wee Cass had a polling place in her living room. I couldn’t vote but I loved that everyone else could.
Laura, I share your pain
My Dad built the house I grew up in. It’s two miles south of where I live now. Squatters lived there a while after he sold it and it’s honestly a tear down now. The outside doesn’t entirely betray it but it’s so ugly and sad to see a beautiful home destroyed.

It’s hard when people don’t recognize the value we put into our homes. I’m sorry.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Brenda, holy shit! I heard Mary Dixon mention that on my way to work this morning but didn't realize that you were *right there*.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Between candidates (so many judges!) and ballot issues, there were 31 races to vote on, and there is no way I could have done that in 3 minutes. I'm boggled at the 3-minute rule.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So scary, Brenda! Yikes.
The polling place I work at now is just too small -- I think there are 250 people total in the district? So between early and mail voting, we end up with a pretty quiet day.

Thrive to spite them
There were 2 issues to actually be voted on and about half the races only had a Republican running for office.
There was only one candidate for these races: SC US House District 4, SC Attorney General, State Comptroller, US House district 17, Greenville County Auditor, GVL County Solicitor Circuit 13, GVL County Treasurer.
There were 3 candidates for: Governor (Dem, GOP, Libertarian), Superintendent of Education (Dem, GOP, Green Party), Commissioner of Ag (Green Party, United Citizens Party, GOP)
and the State Treasurer contest was between GOP and Alliance Party

It does not look good for a lot of the statewide candidates I voted for. Fucking JD Vance is pulling ahead. Barf. But a lot of the county candidates I voted for have comfortable leads, and county races are definitely important. Still, almost all the Ohio races are a red wave. Fucking fuck.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I was hoping the county exec for the county I work for would be called before I go to bed, but looks like not. But 59% for the incumbent thus far, so maybe tomorrow will be a chill day and ppl can start to relax.

So it looks like it's shaping up to be: Coulda been worse.
Colorado - yay!
Georgia - Boo-ish.
