That's a lot of firefighting.
We are opening a total of 32 Haunted Houses, across 5 states and they all open in a three week window. First ones opened last week, another round this weekend, and the final round the next weekend.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Stretch goals: Both NC and TX(!) are closer than they ought to be, because downticket races are dragging Trump down, rather than the opposite.
That's actually another big positive, the bounce Kamala got opened up more lines of attack that the Republicans have to spend time defending. So even if she doesn't win Texas, they have to spend money, energy and focus there to defend against down ballot effects.
Also, the GOP wasn't really spending money on NC before because they thought they had it in the bag. Now it's super tight. Also the GOP had a stretch goal of New Hampshire and have given up on that.
Ugh. It makes my stomach tight and I've got to focus on Matilda's travel stuff.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
and I said, "doing anything good?" which let her say YES!!!
That's a fantastic way to ask and it allows them to give whatever details (or not) that they wish. I'd respond well to it and I don't like 'not friend' people asking for too many deets.
My first vote was on one of those! Very satisfying.
Me too! Our house was a polling place (it was vey small town back then) so I 'voted' a lot as a child. For every candidate. I loved punching the little chads.

Even so, I'd like to cast my absentee ballot and then be put into a drug-induced coma until after the election.
I feel this so hard.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
trying hard to duck (say) Rita Moreno's phone calls.
Yeah, she's another one I'm not ready for. That "Heyyyyy you guyyyyyyys" from The Electric Company is literally one of my first childhood memories.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Man, The Electric Company was amazing

Always Anti-fascist!
The literal first one that I'm sure wasn't my being told over and over was Archie and Edith singing--they weren't good, and they sort of remind me of my dad's parents. And, yeah, I watched a lot of EC. Death may be my gift, but I don't have some inside info about Ms. Moreno(she was SO good on the "One Day" reboot!)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Bring back the old fashioned lever machines and more people will enjoy voting. (ka-CHUNK!)
When I was a kid, my dad used to bring me with him to vote, and those machines fascinated me. I was so disappointed when they didn't have them by the time I was old enough to vote.
ION, it's now week three of classes, and my classroom still doesn't have that chair.
