Amy, I bet our families know each other. Delaware!
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Our wings are not tired.
I can see where Harris could get some folks who wouldn’t bother for Biden to the polls.
This is the case. Also, there will be much more interest in an election season that a large percentage wasn't paying attention to. Yes, there may be some who come out to vote against her, but if they are that passionately bigoted they were already going to vote for Trump. There are a lot more people who were completely numb to the election that now have a choice they can get behind.
As for the VP pick, I am hoping that the best strategic minds will help figure this one out. There are some good choices. I just want whichever one helps keep the Oval, House, and Senate.
Also, Machin, really. Why are you on my screen again?

This is the case.
I really think she has a better chance of getting younger people to the polls, which is desperately needed.

Because books.
That's a good way to look at it, Laura. Fingers crossed!
Lisah, what's even funnier is my ex's family has roots in Delaware, too! For a really small state, it's got fingers in a lot of pies.

Yes, this. I keep switching from being really hopefully to really anxious about all of this, but I still think this is right.
ltc is in dance camp this week, and I'm home with a migraine today. About to do a virtual therapy appointment so that I don't have to drive.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Someone pointed out that the tRump cultists who are going around with gauze/tissue taped to their ears are largely the people who were making fun of people who wore masks.
And Calli's post about preferring her cat's hairball to tRump is my quote of the week - at least hairballs don't involve large quantities of hair spray.

Thrive to spite them
My day started ok and then took a turn for the bad. But I'm currently in the bathtub with snacks , a book and noise cancelling stuff and I plan to be here for awhile
I realized what I could use is a small cooler to help keep some things cold while I soak and until I'm ready to nibble on them or drink. I'm possibly being OTT but I don't care.

Ugh. Yesterday had a migraine and felt off, but was hoping it was just the migraine. But today, definitely am getting sick. I had plans for today and tomorrow dam it!
